Join Umber or die :) I always play Umber and love Darklings...

[quote who="marlowwe" reply="6" id="2836285"] Quoting CHiZZoPs, reply 3 Actually, there are MANY reasons for not having a spawn frequency slider. For starters the game will be much harder to balance. The tech tree, the pacing, build times, AI and a whole bunch of other factors are all tuned for a specific spawn frequency. By introducing this slider, you might end up playing matches where the entire dynamics of the game our thrown out the window. In this kind o

[quote who="xStarfirex" reply="131" id="2834823"] The land type we choose for our faction could then make for interesting stat choices and gameplay options. If we choose to have our lands covered in forests then it would suit our faction to choose traits that allow for better movement through woods... or perhaps just give our enemys a movement penalty.

I am used to Guardians from the Heroes of Might and Magic games. Since there already is a system for interacting/talking with NPC`s, we could make this quite advanced. When you talk to the bandits guarding the goldmine you could get options like: 1. Fight them and try to capture the mine 2. Pay their price for getting the mine with no fight (for example 150 Gildars) 3. Do a quest and get the goldmine as a prize from them

[quote who="Mighty_NJS" reply="31" id="2834771"]why not just have a game option as to which turn sovs can attack each other? [/quote] Rather mechanical solution that

Final suggestion. Tower of archery. Kingdom One unit pr city level is shot upon with arrows. Damage is 1-5 times level of city

Suggested building: Trap of wines (Empire) When built all enemy units attacking city will lose 1-2 hitpoins pr city level

Regarding more build options early on and how to stop the easy rushing of AI capitals. Suggested buildings: Homeguard (not sure about the required material/gold to build - requires two citizens pr city level). This building will take two pesants pr city level and equip them with best available equipment. When city with Homeguard is attacked these will be added to normal units in city. This way one will have some extra defenses in cities without much micromanagem

Go for SupCom FA or even Total Annihilation

hey, its a kind of magic :) The combat numbers just seems to appear

The general rule of error fixing in windows: 1. Restart computer and try again (you probably passed this) 2. Full uninstall and reinstall (have you done this?). Check that the Elemental folders are empty and especially the ones referenced in your errormessages there. This is most likely the answer from any support department no matter what software gives you trouble. If it was a crash problem, then add reinstallation of drivers.

@bonscott - The scaling thing made me throw away the game after about two hours. I know that there came mods later that removed scaling, but it really should not have been nessesary to implement mods. I have never picked up the game again. It was one of the worst ideas in gaming history.

[quote who="Windexglow" reply="7" id="2830085"] How about: stability, It will be designed with consoles in mind. better animations, Why bother making new ones when Fallout3's do fine? better writing, Why bother when no body reads it? Clearly combat is much more exciting. a more fleshed out magic system, Nobody likes complexity. There will be a few "attack" s

Lost what???? Is this one of those North America only things? My mind draws a blank on this [e digicons]:troll:[/e]

Of course ther is much more to it than just deleting files. You have to look through hijackthis listing of startup files and remove everything you dont want, tracking down the file location of the trojan and so on.

I have had success with hijackthis. There is a function in hijacthis for deleting a file on reboot and its a great help when I manually kill the buggers. Have done this 4-5 times on different comps.

+1 for ticket to ride - good game

[quote who="Austinvn" reply="7" id="2826832"]Wait, so.. dominance in warfare fueled by runaway military spending and a national debt that's mind-boggling huge yet still increasing every turn? My god, the AI is learning from real life![/quote] [e digicons]:D[/e]

I am buying online only now and have been for years. Using about the same amount on games as before, or maybe a little more.

I used to play lots of boardgames a few years back. The best of em all was Puerto Rico. Fantastic game. Other goodies are Aquire and Union Pacific.

There is a difference between videos and games. Videos are VERY easy to copy and I really sympathise with your problem. Still, there is no way that Stardock would sell many times as many games without piracy. The marked for strategy games arent that big. There are also differences between types of games (what audience they target). I agree that Stardock has a good solution and is on the right side of the fence. Steam is just on the other side as I dont want the client to run when I pl

You have some points, but you are just making up numbers here.

Please make them a bit aggresive so that they will expand by conquest if they see an opportunity. That will bring life, fun and surprise to the game. :) Suddenly a group of darkilngs emerge out of the fog and snatches my newly placed city by the gold mine and the fertile land in the valley :)
