[quote who="StevenAus" reply="29" id="3061708"]Unfortunately, the standard beta exe hanged in an early turn of a new game, so I am a bit stuck now. Btw: where on earth are the save games kept? I can't find them on the C drive or the installation drive, even under "Saves" in the FE directory in the C Drive Users tree. Help would be much appreciated.

This just happened on first run this morning. Had been running fine up til now. Can't select anything from menu. Repeats every time I start game, going to restart computer next and see if that helps. Running .75 regular (don't have Brad's slipstream installed yet)

You know, maybe a compromise would be good to try. Although I lean towards the one square city myself, I could see maybe gaining a square for every level of city. You would place that one square where you wanted it. Still smaller than nine, but bigger than one, so you can influence towards resources. Don't actually place buildings inside literally, go Civ style with that. Also, I guess we would need some type of building rule, so there isn't really just a snake city. i.e. A st

I do hope MP does make it in some further expansion, there is definitely nothing wrong with having the option!

[quote who="Vhorthex" reply="122" id="3060103"] Quoting Leo in WI, reply 121 Part of the problem may be that last quoted area was from E:WoM and not E:FE Captain Obvious to the rescue! Are you under the impression that FE is an entirely brand new game with no left over code? I mean have you tried the beta? And we all know the MP code is still partially there, since as Brad said, they have it 'internally' but turned it off because o

[quote who="Vhorthex" reply="120" id="3060045"] quoting post There will be NO multiplayer While internally we have multiplayer, we’ve turned it off. The release game won’t have it either. The reason is that tactical battles would have to be rewritten to support it (MP code needs to be message based but the tactical battles all call directly to internal variables which makes it easier to have greater performance but it means no MP). We decided it

And those are TECHNICALLY gathered from that tile and the 8 around it. yes, this is how it works... I would think of it as two different things, each tile has an individual yield that if based on the terrain (or resource) in that tile. In addition the tile has an aggregate yield that is the sum of the individua

Last Monday Brad came by and we talked about this for a bit (making an 8-bit intro for old time sake), but we decided it'd be better to take a more serious tone this time around...at least at first. Once FE has proven itself then we can lower our guard in that respect [/quote] Great plan, looking forward

Congrats on a great beta start. It really is a solid game already! Expectations are enormous now, release should be a killer game!!

I see there is an update button in game. Does this mean we will be getting updates in game, or will they always be downloads from the stardock page (or stardock central whenever you release that)? Not a real big deal either way during beta, just curious.

Well, to be fair, back then it was clear. You are correct they probably should have been more clear at this time. But as LightofAbraxas stated, there is just no way to know that you pre-ordered from another site, when all you were getting was a box in the mail. Btw, I think the special edition of E:WoM was just stuff in the box that was different/extra. Don't remember there being any extra items in-game or anything like that.

The download is not finishing correctly, most likely. As someone stated in another thread, try using a download manager, especially when downloading large files via http (which is the case here.) As for recommendations, can't help you there, haven't used one in YEARS. Think the last one I used was GetRight, but have no idea if that is good/bad/terrible/existent these days. Probably try a search on the term download manager, and go from there. Or hopefully, once the servers are a littl

The pre-order being talked about is directly from Stardock which gave us beta access to E:WoM the first go around. Amazon's pre-order isn't quite the same thing.

Have 2 downloads going, about .5 MB/s here on my work connection (that is about maxed for this crappy connection), also used Logmein to start my home computer downloading it, getting about 4 MB/s there. Hell it's probably already done, haven't checked since I started both of them, but for sure it'll be waiting for me when I get home.

But these other questions have got me thinking that something on the strategic map would be cool to at least think about doing as well. Assuming of course, that we are correct in assuming he was talking about the tactical only.
