I'd check for a setting that "enables boot order" Could swear I have been in a computer BIOS that allowed you to re-order the boot devices, but you also had to actually enable that in a nearby option.

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="29" id="2510047"]Almost completely unrelated, can't you give an example of what you call "Populus"-like powers? I remember the suggestion of "burning a hole in the map" from way back, like someone pressed a cigar against it, resulting in a big hole in the game world, with possible hilarity as the ocean pours into it in massive waterfalls. I still think that's a good idea.[/quote] That would be pretty awesome. The ocean

It defintely works, but you need to modify where the FfH2 installs, it tries to install into Civ4\Mods folder instead of the Civ4\BTS\Mods folder as it should... if you just move those and then modify any desktop shortcuts as necessary you'll be gold... just did it this weekend on my new laptop with Civ4 complete bought via Impulse.

[quote who="CariElf" reply="38" id="2454405"]Regarding using the Elemental engine for an RPG, unless you're talking about a 1st person view RPG like Oblivion, the graphics code requirements aren't that different than for a strategy game, the main difference would be in the camera code. And we're huge Bioware fans here, so we'd be making a 3rd person view RPG. [/quote] Thanks for the nice segue opportunity! Any chance of getting any more of Bioware's games on

[quote who="RogueCaptain" reply="23" id="2437924"]One request: please please please don't make The Fallen another generic stock fantasy species with generic fantasy modifiers like +1 fire resistance ect. Please No! Let's see more imagination. An army of human cannibals that covert a conquored populace into ready food supply or slavers that retain a percentage of the conquored as slave labor population pool is just better than the D&D purple

Just to throw my 2 cents in the mix: I love the idea of a "grey" technology level. I like the idea of either grey technologies freezing at their current RP level when they grey out, or at the very least being at a reduced level compared to any others. I also think maybe instead of being able to pick 1 green, yellow, or red tech, possible picking 2 or 3 grey ones. Not completely sold on that idea, but it is bouncing around in my head a bit. One thing I definitely do not want is techs t

[quote who="Jorune2112" reply="29" id="2375058"] Quoting kryo, reply 14 Anyone not get an email yet? It's going to take a few hours to process the whole queue. First placed, first filled. I purchased mine mid-june with the 20% off Demigod coupon. Still waiting for email. No show on Impulse. Patience is a virtue. Blah-blah-blah.

You could always create their impulse accounts for them and login to setup their beta status. Then when they are ready to play, give them their login info.

[quote who="SavageBananaMan34" reply="3" id="2334214"]Steam overlay is like a little interface that pops up when you press some key combination (of your choosing) which has your friends lists and active chats and a web browser and everything. The nice thing is it comes up over your game so you don't have to tab out. You can add the overlay to most any game, but for some reason Stardock games don't like it. [/quote] Thanks for the quick response!

[quote who="Phoon" reply="19" id="2334201"]I'm now running it on my production work system and my production home system. This is one sweet system. It's been rock solid stable and very fast without doing any tweaking at all. Much better than Vista was on its best day. Just as good (if not slightly better) than XP was as well. Pay no attention to the trolls that bash it just because of its name. Most of us that have actually USED it have been quite pleased thus far.[/quote]

[quote who="arstal" reply="41" id="2329627"]So now FFH2 and elemental both have their creators writing books on it. Idea for 2017- Crossover game? New age of Turn-based fantasy? Yeah, four more weeks till beta- finally means no more 150ms lag nights of TF2 at work.

Quoting Tyrion2001: [quote]I think the big thing with the beta is not just how long it is but who you give the beta to.
