Eh lot of micro in AoW:SM? Try Dominions 3. MP Pbem games on large maps. When you had shitload of provinces, it took 3-5 hours to complete 1 turn. It was insane. I think that Elemental will be lot more micro friendly. ;)
^ Yeah, same here. I mean SP1 should be out for Win7 by then....:D
[quote who="joasoze" reply="5" id="2390085"]Look at CIV IV. Lots of AI modding and improving. Some of the best AI modding went into patches as well. The future is bright [/quote] Correct, but I think that the Civ4 AI still cheats...;)
[quote who="Mogmoogle" reply="3" id="2388411"]I don't really mind a huge amount of micro management in a game,[/quote] Ever played with Dominions 3.? In huge MP games sometime it took 4+ hours to complete 1 turn when you had tons of provinces and armies. It was insane. :D

Just imagine: You summon/tame a mighty otherworldly beast and you must sacrifice some humans / turn in order to keep the beast calm. It's pretty acceptable imo. Agreed, I'm thinking a group of
[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="3" id="2387933"]We'll have custom and dynamic coats of arms, but it'll be a visual thing for the Dynasty system instead of something to give various bonuses. As familys marry and expand, you can imagine the parts of different logos being combined in various ways (or so we're planning atm). [/quote] This sounds neat! Thanks for the info Boogie!

Yeah KOEI games are really cool. Genghis Khan, Romance of the 3 Kingdoms serie etc.
[quote who="AIAndy" reply="56" id="2386910"] Quoting Yestin, reply 54 Have you played Dominions 3, or Civilization 4? I'm sure their designers did their best to reduce ai thinking time, but on the largest maps even a good computer can take a looong time to calculate multiple ai actions. AI rarely has high priority and AI thinking time probably even less. [/quote] Ouch...not to mention, that the Dominions 3. AI is very bad. Even a
God post yeah. :) But.....-> Chivalry (The soverign is half as effective in combat versus female units) [-1] [e digicons]o_O[/e] Huh? Do we have a male/female unit system in the game at all?
[quote who="Wintersong" reply="25" id="2386426"] Quoting edpfister, reply 16 One of the reasons I am drawn to fantasy games is because of the diversity that you just don't get in real life. You only talk of visual differences, right. You could have "elves" and "orcs" in human shape and still complain? Because if you do, you are only worried of appearences. [/quote] Having racial diversity is fun. Let's take a look at your examples. Elves &am
Check your system with SiSoft Sandra: http://www.sisoftware.net/index.html?dir=&location=downandbuy&langx=en&a = It's the best system information tool.
I don't get it...so you cannot install the new drivers at all?...or you installed the new drivers, but the game won't recognize it? [e digicons]o_O[/e]
Try this: http://driverscollection.com/?file_cid=41229087075ae4a6ce0e88495ac
Yeah....everyone should check Kryo's site before reporting a bug. :)

You could have a dragon fighting for you with an upkeep of for example 10 resources a turn (gems or whatever). If you run out of this resource the dragon leaves. Imagine how interested you would be in getting your hands on that gem mine over there Perhaps
I wanted to play a full game after the first BETA update [because the save/load system was heavily bugged in the first release] and what happens? My video card just died...I am getting a new one on this week, so I cannot play 'til then..:(

[quote who="Lord Cobol" reply="2" id="2385944"]MOM was better - diff heroes leveled different ways. That plus a few unique abilities (like cloudwalking) gave it a lot more variety of heroes despite having fewer of them. More replay value. [/quote] Indeed. MoM's leveling system was perfect imo.

You should upload the debug file maybe. ;)
^ That's a nice system. Well, I have x64 ultimate, and I never had any problems with it so far. I installed tons of games/demos/utilities etc, in the last year. Even old DOS games are running on it perfectly. Vista requires a powerful machine, and it must be Vlited [x64 SP1, and Ultimate if possible] in order to be fast and "uberstable" however. That's the only downside, but it's really easy to use Vlite, so ah well. :)
Whats your problem with Vista x64? It's faster and much more stable than XP x64, especially if Vlited. As for W7 yeah, I'm gonna buy it also, but only when SP1 will be available for it... ;)
[quote who="Tormy-" reply="14" id="2385251"] Quoting veraxus, reply 13 Bummer, I can't run it on my netbook due to insufficient vertical resolution (which has a maximum resolution of 1024x600). Hm...check your monitor settings. Maybe there is a "display unsupported modes" setting or something. [/quote] Hm also....what about windowed mode? You should be able to play the game in windowed mode at least.
[quote who="Raven X" reply="10" id="2385497"]I'm running XP Pro 64 and all seems pretty well here too. So a game that's going to take so much advantage of multi-core processing and 64 bit operating systems won't come with XP Pro 64 support? I'm rather shocked and dismayed now... [/quote] XP64 has little or no support at all. Drivers are sketchy at best. It has serious compatibility problems also. Vista x64 is the way to go, or windows 7 in the future.
