If it get rave reviews from the fans I might join the bandwagon, but the Steam connection(I assume here) is a killer as well

[quote who="BvG" reply="37" id="2634871"]I do not want a challenging AI. I like playing endlessly more then being challenged, Sim City style. However, in almost every game, setting the AI to be less challenging makes it less competent. So instead of having fun in beating the AI, while building the most excessive profitable economy ever, I get treated with endless streams of dumb decisions. I want an AI that is smart, but bound to loose.[/quote] You are my

[quote who="Raven X" reply="5" id="2632186"] I've mentioned it once or twice before...sneakily, and also to a friend of mine on the Team, that I have Crohn's Disease. [/quote] Hi there Raven! That makes two of us. I was operated due to Crohns when I was 17 years old. It was very tough, but I now live with very few effects from the disease (they cut away quite a bit on my inside, but whats left works fine). GOOD LUCK TO YOU! You are one of the finest contrib

I might even make a small Lotus Domino app that will make a randomized crazy file for me before every game. So that I know that I will face some crazy AI, but not what :)

You can balance with 1. Losing population to create summoned creatures so that nations withs lots of summoned creatures are smaller (less taxes, resources++) 2. Paying essence for each 3. Paying money (upkeep or inital cost while casting) 4. Mana upkeep ++++ Lots of ways to make the summons not too über

@Bobby Hardenbrook - We can always ask Mr Green and hope :)

By the way - I love the sound of this. I want creature lairs to be alive and developing, I want mercenaries, I want heroes to found cities :)

Try telling this lesson to a friend :) I was expecting a few phrases to tell my wife why I am wasting all this time on this forum :)

me wants - that would make this game my preciousssss.... sorry, this quote is getting old

I would like living/dynamic lairs as well. Not just the Majesty thingie, but lairs that evolve over time. Leave that spider cave alone long enough and some super-duper-fire-spider-queen (trademark) might appear :) This is in the area of my most important wish for Elemental (and CIV). I would love if there is a possibility for nations to form based on barbarians during the game and not be locked to the ones starting it. If part of a map is left alone for a while, then ma

Thanks Thormy [e digicons]1*[/e] I will buy a full bundle of this game sometime during the autumn. Great feeling to support someone who is actually making new stuff for the PC.

I would like bidding for mercenaries. They offer themselves to the players and you would have a certain number of turns to make a blind bit for their services. Their services could be limited to 50 turns or something. This could vary. In other words. A high bid is paying to become mighty in short term in order to achieve a quick goal. Like attacking some creature that will ensure casualties, attacking thy neighbour and such. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

I really like this idea. There would have to be some balancing here, but that applies to every feature. In order of creating a man eating giant one would have to use lots of effort (getting rare resources, researching expensive spells, paying lots of money and the like). Maybe even the sacrifice of ones own population. "Put that farmer inside that boiler there and I will make him an assasin goblin in no time" [e digicons]}:)[/e]

Happens a lot? Do you get this from your own experiences? I havent experienced this, nor heard about it on this forum.

[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="22" id="2622185"] Based on the amount of horrible, watered-down multi-platform games these days released on PC, piracy has already killed PC gaming. Now we have console gaming, just you play on your PC. Sure, certain genres remain alive and well, but on the whole we’re stuck with what can be done on those glorified DVD players.[/quote] You are too defensive. There are still CIV V and Elemental on the horizon. Try those on a cons

Kings Bounty Armoured Princess gets my vote. Cant go wrong with that one, although its on the edge of being called an TBS game.

I am using Gamersgate and Impulse with very few problems. Trying to avoid Steam, but not sure if I can drop CIV V if it turns out to be half as good as CIV IV. Elemental might save me though :)

I havent actually bought this game yet, but I suppose I will when I get a new and faster laptop. Did the 1.04 do much improving of the game? Does anyone have any experiences with it?

I could go to the Kerebos forums and register, but I find this forum an infinite source of wisdom :) Dont have to register for each game I want to talk about either.

Shattered Union worked fine for me on Win XP. Not the greatest of games, but it can give a few hours of gaming.

Thanks guys! This forum is the best!

Hi there! I finally caved in and bought Sword of the Stars (with a couple of expansions). I have looked at a couple of tutorials and played for an hour or two. I have a few questions that I would like to ask the great ppl of this forum: 1. My first planet (the one I start with) is always awsome and can produce a couple of ships a turn from the start. Is there any reason not to spam colonyships (with tank ships) from the start? 2. The planets that I colonize have

@Strager - have you seen Pinky and The Brain? The Frog is like The Brain, he is taking over the world (or at least he tries every day). That means that he owns Stardock and in order to punish his investors he needs to spank himself :)

I think we maybe have had enough of the your law my law jumbo in here please :) Could we see if we can stray back to the more narrow path that is the topic?
