They've been forecasting the end of PC gaming for over 15-20 years at least now. They always seem to forget, everything they can do with the next "it" thing, can always be done better by a desktop PC.

I could be wrong, but I think Heavenfall's point was, it is our (the customers) fault because we keep buying games with these damn DRM methods. The only way to really stop companies from putting those invasive types of DRM in, is to NOT buy the game at all! I apologize to HF if that was not his point, nonetheless it is my opinion.

[quote who="Mistwraithe" reply="49" id="3327318"]Excellent news about Soren. I really hope Kael and Frogboy have a good talk with Soren about how to tighten up the strategic game in FE/LH. IMO Civ 4 is the gold standard on how to balance the various strategic trade offs, particularly expansion vs vertical growth and military vs economy (not quite as dominant at the latter but still excellent).[/quote] Think Frogboy said that Soren is on a non-announced game, not on FE/LH at all.

New scenario bug. When completing last of the four initial techs available, it brings you to the screen to choose your next tech. At this point the game doesn't you to do anything. Can't hit any buttons, Esc key doesn't do anything. Had to go to task manager and kill the FE process.

[quote who="coyote303" reply="18" id="3325499"]I agree with this point. Heroes of Might and Magic 6 also did away with the random choices that all the previous versions had, and I miss the random choices. I also like the random choices in FE when your Hero levels up. It's like Christmas! Let's see what Derek Claus brought me. Or having to decide between an early pick of Potential X and that level up you really want but might not be there next time.[/quote] I'm with you on

[quote who="The_Regicide" reply="13" id="3325193"]1. How can I check the date of my E:WoM purchase? I think it was a preorder, but I can't be sure...[/quote] Go to stardock website, login, and go to account section. There should be a link to "My Orders" in there. That'll give you what you are looking for, as long as you purchased through stardock of course. [quote who="The_Regicide" reply="13" id="3325193"]2. When is LH getting released? Also, anyone kno

As far as buying it goes, if you already have FE, it will cost 19.99, if you don't, then it's 39.99. The 39.99 also includes FE as well, so if you don't have it it may be best to wait. UNLESS, you buy FE on steam now, it's on sale at 66% off as part of a Midweek sale, so it's at 13.59, later add on the LH for 19.99 and you'll spend 33.58 total for both. Note, this will only do you any good if you are ok with using Steam.

Think he is saying he wants each town to generate a certain type of tech, as in towns would generate civic research, fortresses would generate warfare research, and conclaves would generate magic research, for example. That sounds like you'd be researching 3 techs at a time this way, and I have no idea if that is hard-coded or not. Seems like it would be.

[quote who="TBS Gamer" reply="3" id="3322934"]On mounted troops escorting a couple of heroes with tireless march...[/quote] I think that tireless march is the problem with Charge. IMO, Tireless March is completely overpowered, it shouldn't stack and shouldn't transfer to tactical. Take that out and Charge jumps in desirability quite a bit.

[quote who="stein220" reply="222" id="3320888"]Those 2 are still in there; you just have to make a custom sovereign for them. No modding required. I'm no modder and they show up in most of my games.[/quote] Shit, I never realized that. Gonna have to make a couple more sovereigns pronto. It'll be good to get a bit more variety.

[quote who="Luraz" reply="9" id="3320549"]Btw, do you have any other recommendations for good mods like Stormworld. I like stormworld, but I would also like the play the original factions. For example I would like to play an assassin faction like Tarth and I do not know which one is familiar with Tarth in Stromworld. Edit: Seems I'm going to try the immersion mod. Like the huge epic armies and if that does not go well, then try patch 1.29 [/quote] May want to give Maste
