You know damn well facts and logic have no place in an internet discussion! Besides, you probably just did some multi-threaded worm-holing time travel shenanigans to place those comments back in time! And please, no one tell Captain O'Hagen I said "shenanigans", I don't wanna get pistol-whipped.

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="449" id="3114868"]It seems the issue is related to prior installations of Multiplicity using Impulse. Can you please uninstall Multiplicity using Impulse, then re-install using Stardock Central? If that does not work, I have another solution that requires editing the registry to fix this problem (but I'd rather not try this without doing the Impulse uninstall first).

How many of us on these boards pre-ordered MoO3 expecting just that, only to have MoO3 not only be not an improvement, but IMO (and by my guess most peoples opinion) much worse of a game than MoO2. MOO3 was not made by the people who m

I wouldn't mind seeing a straight out combine. Say 2 groups of same size combine to make 1 group of next higher group size. Exp stays at the lower of the 2 combined units. Sure you are losing some guys this way, but it does let you keep some of your hard work.

About the city specialization? That a city on the main map would be 1 tile and would "grow" a little bit based on what level and specialization it was but the improvements would be built on a separate screen ala Civ. You could look at your pretty city in the city build window but on

Here is a bug that has been going on for a while. I just kept forgetting to make a post about it. When you first finish completing a unit, or for that matter finish hiring a new hero, unless you specifically click on it, the auto end turn skips having you move that unit for that turn. Not exactly a game-breaking bug, but definitely one I'd like to see fixed.

You got your serial for FE from the stardock download page (or via the new Stardock Central) right? What I mean is, you are not trying to plug in your old Elemental:WoM serial info? For the record, the beta has nothing to do with Gamestop/Impulse.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="3107022"]Don't make me come over there. Right now, if you turn on anti-aliasing, it does it to everything and you get a massive FPS hit. But 90% of things don't need to be antialiased (a lot of things have anti-aliasing basked into their texture). As for perf, turn off the particle effects for now. I found a bug that is causing all particle effects to run all the time no matter what and those build up through the course of
