One more question. I take it current mods will be unable to work with LH, any chance the new game is going to have some upgraded modding tools and/or mod selection upgrades?
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="3317222"]The main reason the graphics engine is faster is because Intel visited us and brought all kinds of cool new tools we have been using to optimize.[/quote] Well f**k yeah! Yay Intel!!
This sounds great! Can I get one clarification also please? Those of us getting LH for free (via the pre-order of WoM) will be getting it via Steam as a whole separate game? Meaning I can leave my current FE installation through Stardock installer alone, also install LH via Steam, and have both available to play at anytime??? Hope that is what you are saying, because that sounds perfect! Either way, bring it on!!!
I wouldn't mind this back, IF, and this is a big if, there was someway to have it balanced. I can't see how being able to churn out children is not going to unbalance the game completely. I'd love to hear some ideas about it though.
[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="1055" id="3314677"]I notice in your latest archive a file named configuration.femm. This isn't mentioned in the installation instructions. Was it intended for installation by users?[/quote] That file is how the mod manager knows how to correctly install this mod. You should see a similar file in every mod that is set to use the mod manager.
[quote who="simon_sin" reply="3" id="3313702"]I suppose I am in the minority here, but I enjoyed Elemental:War of Magic. I don't know where you can get it, I don't see it on Steam. On another topic I just picked up Gal Civ I&II for $14.99 on Steam...I felt that was a no brainer. WoM can be fun, FE IS better, in so many ways I can't begin to post them all here, but hey, its proably going for $5 or so somewhere online...[/quote] You can still buy bo
Thanks for the excellent thought provoking post! Really hope the devs don't miss this post. As a couple other posters said, don't agree 100% with everything, but it certainly provides food for thought.
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="1032" id="3310485"]I've run into some financial difficulties in real life and I have to divert my attention to that for a while. All further updates to Stormworld are postponed indefinitely until I can sort things out.[/quote] Sorry to hear. Good luck to you, hope all works out well!
Glad your doggie is OK. On the plus side, does this qualify for being a polar plunge member??
[quote who="LightStar" reply="14" id="3306397"]Java serves a useful function and doesn't have any major issues that I am aware of, so why are some people so freaked out about Java of late anyway? [/quote] Not really freaked out, it was more I was just sicking of seeing the updates all the time, and started wondering about whether I really need it. So far, I have seen zero (not close to zero, but actual zero) programs I use requiring it. This may change in the future of course, and
[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="13" id="3306191"]Matter of time, tho.[/quote] Possibly, suppose I'll take that on a case by case basis for each computer as I come across something that needs Java. Depending on what it is, or whether there is a non-java replacement, I'll make a decision then.
Umm.. yeah "race" and and not "type" as HF says :)
You are looking for monster type "beast." Prior to battle click on the army/unit you are attacking. Now click on the picture in the lower left of your screen. You can look at all the details of the units, including the "type."
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="11" id="3306103"] Only because you need Java to see that sentence displayed. [/quote] lol, fair enough. I can re-phrase that to, nothing I have tried running since has failed to launch and run.
[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="1" id="3306051"]A lot of things require Java. Do you plan to just not use those things? Just asking.[/quote] So far I have yet to have anything tell me: "Hey, you need Java to run this!" on either my laptop or home desktop. Use a bit different line of things on my work desktop, hence having not tried it there yet.
So, I've been deleting Java slowly off my computers: my laptop about 3 months ago, my home desktop about 3 weeks ago, and probably my work desktop later this week. So far everything has been smooth sailing. Just wondering if anyone has any input on this... any pitfalls I'm not aware or should be on the lookout for?
On my way to pick it up at the post office right now. Can't believe after 20 years (since I started reading it, bit longer if you were there from the get go I believe) this series is finally over!
Not super important, but maybe some type of confirmation that the mod manager is done working would be good. Don't get me wrong, I haven't had any issues, but I could see someone who is a bit impatient trying to start before the MM is done working.
Yeah, kinda sounds similar to how Dropbox works on iOS devices, so this may be aimed at tablets maybe??
[quote who="Rhaegor" reply="9" id="3303269"]Graphics are fine imo. I am sure this reviewer played one game and did not even finish it. I would have given 5 out of 5 after my first 10 hour play session, but as you play more, you notice the balance and AI issues.[/quote] The thing is, there are some seriously low reviews for the same exact reason (not enough play time.) These are the reviews crying, it's too hard, there is no depth, blah, blah.
Hell yeah, wtg Frogboy! [e digicons]\o/[/e]
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="986" id="3296945"]Yeah I think so, if that changelog is complete.[/quote] Cool. I'll give it a try and post my results after some time playing.
Thanks HF. Btw, is this compatible with the 1.12 beta? https://forums.elementalgame.com/438364
[quote who="JonSarik" reply="8" id="3296382"]As for the embassy option, I looked into that and it isn't a building, but an upgrade of path of your town when you reach level 3 or 4. So that's out of the picture too because there are better choices.[/quote] Actually choosing an Embassy some times is the perfect choice. If you don't see a monument you can take from someone else, and you do have a dragon lair just waiting for some influence to use, that would seem the best cho
