Wraith and Amarian buff, yay!

[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="88" id="3290769"] but what do you to with a bunch of players who exhibit the characteristics of a self-reinforcing culture of misogyny? Do you ban the lot? Do you tell them no bigotry against anybody? [/quote] Yes.

Why not worship a tree? A tree seems like as valid, or much more so than any God. A tree is a real thing, I can at least see, touch, experience a tree and others can verify the tree exist. A tree can be very old, some can be ancient. Doesn't something alive and ancient deserve some respect and have some magnificence? And a tree gives the breath of life, many religions say such a thing came from God, but I know a tree creates oxygen for me to breath.

[quote who="Leo in WI" reply="6" id="3290626"] Quoting Lord Xia, reply 3I have a feeling that Elemental will gain in popularity over time. Some games come and make a big splash and disappear but I bet FE will gain and gain in popularity as more and more people hear about it and try it out. It's really too bad there is no demo. This really smart guy, named Jon Shafer, wrote a blog once about how important a Demo is to a game, someone at Stardock should take a look at it I expect it&#3

I would think 8 to 8.5 for me, but I think anything above a 7.5 is fair and something for Stardock to be proud of. I know you always shoot for 90 to 100, but any game that lands in the Metacritic green is an achievement I think. There are some polish issues, and I think all the races could have been fleshed out with things like special units. The tactical combat is a negative to me, it's just not well designed, and although it has been greatly improved from Wo

Either way, you have to live with yourself. Hard choice. Think about how you are going to feel after if you don't tell them and how you will feel if your boss fires you for telling. Life doesn't have easy answers. Should probably keep your mouth shut and say nothing, that's the smart choice. Probably not the "right" one, but the smart one.

I'm really looking forward to buying it and playing the Athys map, but I'm really busy with RL stuff (marriage), but I will get it in a couple weeks and play it's dick off.

Trained units would be soldiers for the most part. I use it all the time to take a unit of mages, archers, horsemen, from the enemy AI during combat. It doesn't work on Jugs, as far as I know. "Trained' usually refers to things that a city can produce, but I know it doesn't work on Jugs, and I doubt it works on henchmen or Golems. Kind of funny that "Diplomat" gives you an ability that only works when you are at war, not peace. :) <

They are not Channelers. They are just people trained to use magic staffs.

Kula Khan or something like that. Both are in the game still as champions that can be hired, level 9. Carrodus is a general, I think Air and life go well, and wealthy really goes well with capitar. Kula Khan of Umber is a beastmaster, and I think death and earth or death and water are his magic. I think he was "Brilliant" in the old game, and it's probably a good choice for him in this one too.

Good grief.

I would hate to create a thematic choice that prevents me from wanting to make a game choice in actually using it. Thematically costing money to use a merc is a good idea, but game wise, it better be a good choice or his mark is getting sold and unused.

Anthys map, yay!

[quote who="Kalin" reply="22" id="3289317"]Um... that merc from the letter of Mark (Wallace)... is he really suppose to be worth 50 gold? Unless you changed something... he's so useless that I always sell the letter for the 18 gold instead. So basically, you'd be losing out on 68 gold for a really crappy unit. Maybe change him into a champion without DividesBattleExp (basically a henchmen) and use UnitJoinArmy instead?[/quote] Agree. For it costing 50 gold? Um why?

Fuck air shrills. Their blast terrifies me in early games when my sov is all alone. They concentrate their blast on one guy, and they can fuck shit up, that's 20-30 hp gone turn one. I am way more afraid of air shrills than I am of earth or water. Fire are dicks too though.

Tien Chi. It's for girls!

I've had technical difficulties with Gamers Gate that has kept me from using them in a long time. Not worth the hassle of figuring out the problem when I can go somewhere else and buy.

[quote who="Kalin" reply="8" id="3289167"]Knights of asok says hello (they cost 9 to maintain - lol), by far the worst in the game. Not even that useful because the tech to unlock them is so deep in the tech tree.[/quote] Yea, it sucks, because they could be useful free troops. If they worked like Ogres and had no upkeep, you could really get a use out of them, probably not a game changer or anything even then, but useful. But at 9 gold a turn, the

We just had a female win our Dominions 3 tournament, and Dominions 3 is a hardcore game, it's top tier nerdy. Saying thing like women have better things to do than play games, is sexist because it imposes a preconceived notion, stereotype, that isn't true for a lot of women and that idea is what keeps people from hiring women in a very male workplace.

Elf Squad 7 is a pretty fun little game, just saying. I never understood why digital sales numbers where so mysterious and secretive. It makes the industry look like they are incompetent and doing shit sales.

Troops who act first in combat and charge or shoot shit also make things easier.

I'm pretty sure that " prepare for the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ, into this world as Priest, King and Savior" is pretty religious. Not just a generic merry Christmas. That's discussing religion. But, it doesn't really bother me. When I hear people talk about their religion, I think about my childhood and how angry other kids would get when I would tell them Pro Wrestling wasn't real, and I giggle.

From the numbers, you really won't notice much of a difference.
