[quote] Actually, my favorite units in fantasy games tend to be the more exotic ones. Why use werewolves and vampires and all when I can play with them in countless games, watch them in even more movies, read about them in a billion books... Just to give an example, my favorite unit in HoMM V is the Rakshasa Raja - I've never seen one of those in a game, book or movie. I'm well aware that Nival didn't invent them (they're based on a hindu myth), but they aren't overused and stale -

[quote who="KellenDunk" reply="17" id="2313127"]soda is far more dangerous than water. Leaving the computers on a nightstand would be even MORE hazardous. There be a toddler afoot. [/quote] Well no details described a toddler living in the house. Anything on the floor or within arms reach of the toddler is not safe. Adding the toddler variable means keeping the laptop safe is even tougher... personally I'd probably place the laptop into my laptop bag

Well we have some questions answered... I feel bad that some people in the community asked questions which were previously answered and/or just plain stupid. So let's review: [quote] Q: What are channelers and how do they work? [/quote] This was a good question and provided great insight into the channeller and the usage of essence. [quote] Q:How is good and evil handled? [/quote] This was an okay question.

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="1" id="2311880"] You have a point, but I feel the creative industry (especially in fantasy) has gotten a bit..... lazy in that they keep re-using "stat blocks" like undead+hurt by holy attacks+drains life. When was the last time you saw something completely new? (And I don't think we've used up all possible combinations yet). In any event, even if they are not included in the vanilla release (and I doubt that they will be), the modders will be crea

The biggest part I hate in games I love is how developers drop a popular game and move towards developing a completely different game where they have zero experience. It seems most games reach about three sequels and then have their evolution frozen in history. A few rare cases the ownership rights have fallen into the hands of another gaming company, but they usually screw up the next version by adding a BUNCH of their own ideas. T

[quote] What is RockNRye -If you don't live in the American Midwest and are not a Juggalo(ICP fan) you don't know about the soda comapny Faygo. they make a cherry flavored cream soda called Rock N Rye.

[quote]Undead, werewolves, goblins, etc. They seem to be in every fantasy game nowadays. Because everyone assumes that games will follow Dungeons and Dragons lore. These ideas of what dark fantasy entails are so embedded in some people's minds that they cannot consider a game without them. Tolkein's worlds did not have all of these things. No zombies, goblins (goblins and orcs were the same race), vampires, werewolves etc. The D&D model has almost every fantasy race

[quote] Goodmorning all. Firstly, Yes, your right, it is possible that the game could be coded in such a way as to have multiple channlers be inpossible. Most/all of the proprties i can think to include in a channler are extendable to a multi channler modle, But that doesn't mean that the code as written is changeable. However only frogboy knows the code, so this we'll have to let drop. [/quote] Yes, just one variable which may make the merger sugge

[quote] Where to put the capital: really this isn't a stopping block, AOW, Civ, all 4x games allow you to move the capital. if the Chanler(s) can move(and they can), the capital can move. Problem solved. Really, not a problem. [/quote] Actually the capital cannot be moved for all 4x games... for example the popular Dominions series and SpaceEmpires series does not allow the moving of the capital. I'm sure other 4x games also exist where the capit

[quote] NTJedi: A merger between two or more nations comes with problems which include: Actually i was hopenig that some of those 'problems' would infact be features. [/quote] Well as I mentioned a merger is much more complex and would take time from the developers working on other parts of the game. [quote] For A, niether, for B, The capital of the stronger empire. (with the option of declairing a new capital town, in the m

I believe an alliance between the AI's is the better solution and requires less work for the developers. A merger between two or more nations comes with problems which include: 1) This merger means one nation will have two channellers... I highly doubt this would be supported in the game. I also doubt Stardock would include extra programming to decide which of the two channellers gets downgraded to a hero status and then which city remains as the capital and then what ha

Such a decision for C&C 4 only closes the door for some customers purchasing the game. Here's more examples of ways they could decrease the customer base for C&C 4 : 1) You're going to need to have Windows Vista or Windows 7 if you want to play C&C 4. 2) You're going to need to have a Nvidia's 1GB graphic card... only Nvidia will work. 3) You're going to need dual monitors to play C&C 4</em

[quote who="ChongLi" reply="5" id="2303990"] I'd like one that generates the 2 parallel worlds of Arcanus and Myrror for my MoM remake mod. [/quote] We may not even have parallel realms available... at least nothing has indicated we'll have more than what we see within the Civilization game, which is a continents, islands and only traveling on top of water. I know there will be exploring of dungeons/caves/tombs, but this does not appear to be p

[/quote] Immortality without the effects of aging would be my choice as well... living thousands and possibly millions of years. Such an individual would obtain massive amounts of knowledge, witness many drastic changes in technologies, learn thousands of skills and even observe evolutionary changes, etc., etc., .

[quote]This is what happened to me today. I spilled a rock N rye on my good laptop, the one that is capable of playing modern games on it and is mine personally. No biog deal normally, so I turn it off unplug it, remove the battery etc.. I clean the keyboard off and let it rest a while.. It will not turn back on now.. it doesn't even try.. pushing the button does nothing.[/quote] No big deal normally?? Unless you have one of those ToughBook laptops spilling any liqu

The billion dollar bailouts for car companies and financial companies were handled so poorly. There was virtually no rules, regulations, longterm planning or checks&balances for how the money was to be spent which resulted in the greatest loss of taxpayer money. It's unfortunate but the vast majority of Congress lacks an understanding of business finances and an understanding of the average american life... thus when they make mistakes on $50 billion t

The spell of making... aka win spell should provide other opponents an opportunity to stop the caster. Here's a few ideas: 1) Once the spell is researched it take 10 turns to cast the spell... during these 10 turns all players are notified and have a chance at stopping the caster. 2) Other spells can be casted which can tempoarily prevent the casting of this win spell. 3) Essence can be used to cancel the sp

If what you say is true then those kittens with the extra paws would have brought in some BIG money... if you knew where t
