[quote who="veraxus" reply="13" id="2385230"]Bummer, I can't run it on my netbook due to insufficient vertical resolution (which has a maximum resolution of 1024x600). [/quote] Hm...check your monitor settings. Maybe there is a "display unsupported modes" setting or something.
[quote who="Karalis" reply="14" id="2385145"]i think there's no need to report know bugs like river on the sea, i'm right Kryo? [/quote] Yeah it's pointless. The devs know about these bugs. ;)
Raven, just a side note - you should "upgrade" your OS imo....XP x64 is not the best choice to be honest. Vista x64 with SP1 is much better...:) [Especially if you work on it with vlite. Vlite can do wonders...my x64 Vista is hella fast, and it's only a 1.5Gb install now compared to the ~4Gb original install size. - You basically remove the unnecessary parts with it. Yeah..it works like a Linux install...;)]
Argh...this waiting kills me! [e digicons]:pout:[/e] Oh well, patience is a virtue! [e digicons];)[/e]
Either way, I have a question. What does "Initial Gameplay Skeleton" means exactly? What features gonna be added in 1A?
[quote quoting="post"]Now that we know a smidgen more about heirs/families I think I'd like at least the choice to play on as one of my children if "I" die. Especially if I engineered some good ones.. [/quote] I completely agree...this "system" works like a charm in the various KOEI games.
Sweet! Oh and 1A starts on next week? Awesome! Too bad that my gfx card died today and I won't be able to get a new one for 4 days. :|
Indeed. I have made a topic about this in the General subforum a while ago..
[quote who="arstal" reply="3" id="2383903"]I don't care if the AI looks like it's cheating, as long as it isn't doing anything I can't do, provided I can turn down the difficulty if required. [/quote] Indeed. I won't mind if my butt will be kicked at high diff. levels. Because LOOSING.IS.FUN! Oh boy....this Dwarf Fortress quote is legendary already? :D
I was just reading the interview with Frogboy [Shacknews], and I've found this part very interesting: "The marriage thing I was talking about. Let's say throughout the game I've maintained a relatively modest empire. I don't seem very powerful at the base of it. But throughout the game I've been breeding my daughters, for lack of a better word, that have high beauty, which makes them very desirable to various players. So I have slowly become a major part of everyone else's family, so
[quote who="Fetus4188" reply="2" id="2382454"]I agree, but more of a grey-blue so it doesn't overwhelm the drab color style they're going with on the cloth map. [/quote] This. :)
I think that Kohan was the first game which had different AI personalities. [Plus you could create new AI personalities also via coding/scripting]. It was fun...as I remember some player created a very good AI, it was much better than the vanilla AIs..even the devs admitted it. :D Anyways, I really like this topic. Hopefully Frogboy and the team will create some asskicking AIs....because that is what we need. Not that I won't play multiplayer games, but I also like singleplayer.
We're also very excited! :)
Here it is, and I haven't seen it yet, and maybe not me is the only 1? :) -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88ywMaW8_dE
I have x64 Vista + 8800GT OCed gfx card -> no graphical problems..as for crashes/memory errors etc. I don't know. I haven't played that much with this build, because the save/load system is heavily bugged also. I am waiting for the next version. Hopefully the save/load system will work perfectly. :)
[quote who="porternielsen" reply="42" id="2382042"]There was much rejoicing. I have stopped testing the current build because everything I find seems to already be posted, and though semi fun I would rather spend my time on some of stardock's completed games like Sins. Waiting until thursday! [/quote] Yep, same here. I am waiting for the next version also. :)
[quote who="TucoBenedicto" reply="38" id="2381441"]Well, let's wait for it, cause Initial Build is a mess with very little to test. [/quote] Mess or not, we've reported many bugs at least. That is the purpose of the current build. It's an engine/basic test, nothing more.
Perhaps the "world name" bar should appear above the picture, or below the picture actually. Example: Picture Name of the world "Creating World" message
Ah sweet! Thanks Kryo! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
[quote who="astrath" reply="7" id="2380295"]It fits with the lore only to have these factions. Just go with the standard SD mantra - if you don't like it, mod it. [/quote] Correct. However, there is a problem. It won't be easy to create 3d models for the various creatures. I don't have any 3D modelling experience of course, but I can imagine that it's not easy. The question is: How many Elemental players will have the skill to create these 3D models?
[quote who="qwertyfou" reply="2" id="2379685"]I came across multiple rivers crossing each other with the deltas ending on the land. Reduced 91% Original 600 x 480 [/quote] wow, now this is a strange looking river! [e digicons]*_*[/e]
[quote who="Raven X" reply="9" id="2379426"]Agreed Tormy-. MoM will never "Die". It will always be recognized by us old schoolers as a Classic and Legend in it's time. It's very true that AoW2 was a good successor, just as Elemental will be a even greater successor to both Mom and AoW2. I do believe Elemental will be the new King of this genre, but people will never forget the classic that started it all. [/quote] Absolutely...the game is in the right hands. Stardock actually car
kryo, how is the tracker? People are using it [properly] at all? What is your experience after the last 2-3 days?
So the OP was sarcastic? I thought he wasn't...must be my crap english knowledge I guess..[e digicons]
Yeah I've also noticed this yesterday...wanted to make a post about it today, but now it's not needed anymore. :P
