Tormy-

Yeah, a decent D&D based mod is a must have. Perhaps it should be based on the Greyhawk campaign setting. That is my personal favourite at least. :)

[quote who="Bellack" reply="52" id="2624180"] If this game is anything like GALCIV 2 or AGE of Wonders/ MOM then it will be great just as log as you keep the non-gamers (marketing) out of it. Perhaps make them server your developers coffee or something. [/quote] [e digicons]:w00t:[/e]

I guess this is on topic - World of Warcraft charging for remote auction house service Blizzard to levy extra $3 subscription fee for buying and selling items through Web browser or Mobile Armory iPhone app. <a href="http://w

I really like this, especially the "trust" part. IIRC some old KOEI strategy game had a similar diplo system. However, what about "fame"? What is that responsible for with regard to this proposed diplo system?

[quote who="Zoe_E" reply="181" id="2623729"]I don't think anyone suggested quaestor. Seneschal would be the medieval equivalent, though quaestor has an obvious Imperial flair. [/quote] Yeah, I was thinking about suggesting quaestor or praetor even [even tho quaestor is more appropriate, since they supervised the financial affairs.] However I think that SD don't want to use these ancient roman ranks, so this is why I haven't suggest

FFFFFFUUUUUUU- > Well if he was dissing the most recent Star Trek "movie", then I'd say he's perfectly justified in doing so. [/quote] What? I really liked the new Star Trek movie!

[quote who="DethAdder" reply="3" id="2623671"]If your selling that many millions of games and still reporting losses you might want to look at how the business is being handled. [/quote] Yep, yep. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]

http://www.gamespy.com/articles/109/1090842p1.html Ezio is in the killing business, and business is gooood. Not so much for Ubisoft, which, despite selling nearly 9 million copies of Assassin's Creed II during its fiscal year, still reported a $73 million operating loss. Ubisoft announced its fiscal 2010 results today, and though strong sales of Assassin's Creed II and surprise Wii hit Just Dance (3 million in

I don't know the proper answer of course, but it would be cool to have these "living" dungeons/lairs/similar "special sites".

Nice!...can't wait for Beta2. [e digicons]:pout:[/e]

http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=80067 Much in the same vein as EA, Starting next year Ubisoft will begin to offer additional content to consumers who buy new copies of their games. EA's current business model has buyers of their used games pay $10 to gain access to certain features of the game in order to offset some of the money that is taken from them during used sales. Chief Financial Officer Alain Martinez had t

[quote who="Tridus" reply="4" id="2623222"]Yeah, that's been a complaint of mine. I believe there's an option in Impulse' preferences to set the location for archives, which will at least tell you where it's going. [/quote] Yep. Preferences/Folders - Archive File Location [Default dir is: C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Impulse\backup on Vista]

[quote quoting="post"]For the love of god can we get a new build that works out the bugs found since the last build? It seems people have stopped the bug hunt in anticipation of a build that works and 3D graphics.Might be asking too much but I know I have not seen any new post of bugs since the announcement of the multi-player and 3D stuff being rolled into one! [/quote] Beta2 will be released in early June, just be patient. :)

[quote who="Bellack" reply="125" id="2623225"] Well I played the campaigns in AOW:SM and while that game is my favorite fantasy TBS to date the campaign was not all that great or challanging. I've had more fun and more challanges through player designed maps. And my AOW:SM now has well over 200 units (well actully more.) In fact this discussion has prompted me to reload the game (AOW:SM) with all the mods I had backed up to disk from 2007. And I had forgotten how much fu

[quote who="kryo" reply="26" id="2622848"] Kryo, this means that I am not an active Impulse user for example? Because I only bought Elemental so far....Right now, I only use Impulse for updating the game. [Not that I won't buy more stuff, but you got the picture..] Those same criteria aren't even really applicable outside Steam. In our case because we really haven't pushed Impulse's community features (partly owing to Reactor still being in development, and the different

[quote who="Doopliss" reply="11" id="2623228"] Quoting Tormy-, reply 8 I think this expansion will be released in 1-2 weeks, and they are already working on the second expansion. It's actually coming? Yay! I've been waiting for it to buy, and the last time I trawled the forums suggested it was coming in March/April. [/quote] Yep, they postponed it, because they were "perfecting" the new diplomacy system. This first expansion will be

I'm gonna check it out, thanks again! [e digicons]k1[/e] because you are really helpful Dale! :)

[quote who="kryo" reply="19" id="2622772"] Wrong. ....... surpassed 25 million active accounts, up 25% from the prior year. Of the 25 million accounts, over 10 million of those have profiles in the Steam Community. ........ 10 million is not number of active accounts, but number of active accounts which also have community profile. It's all speculation either way without their definition of "active", which I'd suspect is set specifically to pro

It's a matter of playstyle. The question is that which method would be more effective. [Especially in MP since it enforces powergaming. :)] Either way, I sympathize with both methods.

[quote who="psychoak" reply="13" id="2622764"]While more realistic, such training systems lead to grinding. [/quote] Agreed. This is a system for [MMO]RPG games, and not for strategy games.

[quote who="LDiCesare" reply="3" id="2622697"]The issue is that C:\Users\All Users is a link pointing to nothing, and doesn't exist. Same for C:\Documents and Settings. It's a link that points to nothing. In fact, the links somehow link to S: instead of C:... Go figure how I managed to wreck that? I think making myself instead of Trusted User the owner of the C: drive may not have helped. Anyhow, a little bit of cygwin/ls -l/rm/ln and I've been able to locate the damn file, w

Okay, I never used Steam. So what is this means exactly? 25 million people are using Steam to buy softwares or 10 million? What is this community profile stuff?

[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="121" id="2622461"] You're right that it shouldn't be possible to utilize the cities of ALL races, some should be friendly to your race, and some hostile (like in AoW, where you have to migrate some cities that you capture, because you have bad relations with that race). [/quote] Indeed, but keep in mind that we won't have many races in EWoM vanilla.

[quote who="joasoze" reply="9" id="2622629"]Thanks Thormy 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. [/quote] Indeed, I really respect devs like these...they are cool, just like Stardock. :D

Heh, we've talked about this many times....indeed it would be cool to have a tool like this, but we won't have it in the retail version...perhaps SD will consider it for an expansion or Elemental 2. :)
