[quote who="MysticMJ" reply="38" id="3281676"]Its like how everyone told me i'm suppose to hate Dragon Age 2... and Diablo 3.[/quote] Sure you can like them and enjoy them, but you can't deny that they have some glaring flaws and that's why so many gamers either hate them, find them disappointing, or gave them a hard time. I mean, DA2 reused the same dungeons like a dozen times, that's the thing that most glaringly stood out in my head, other people hated how t

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="47" id="3280132"]There's an early mockup around here somewhere that has the wraiths territory (dead and spooky) up against magnar (burning lands) up against urxen (desert) up,against tarth (magical swampy). we had to choose between unit customization or that.[/quote] Oh dear god why didn't you just give us Faction oriented units we could upgrade? They could have still had customizable perks. The races would have felt more unique and diver

[quote who="joasoze" reply="15" id="3280220"]I listened to an interview with the norwegian prime minister on the radio today. He used to play Age of Empires and Medieval: Total War. His nick was the name KGB had put on him in their secret (not so secret anymore though) files. Kinda cool. It does not belong in this thread, but I just had to mention it.[/quote]That is awesome.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="10" id="3280082"]Yes, out of 100 gamer reviews, maybe 5 are useful. [/quote] Which just happen to be the 5 you agree with. The point he was making wasn't lost on me, nor was the comparison to Civ 5, and I've been playing 4x games all my life. [quote who="Lord Xia" reply="10" id="3280082"]Yes, I will say from the many years of reading player reviews and seeing the dipshit things gamers post on forums, that they are often too stupid

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="25" id="3280358"]douchebag[/quote] See this is why I love you guys. It's always so personal. Negative Nancy gets heard, Polite Pete doesn't. This game needs more zaz, the magic especially, I think more global spells with visually interesting results could make the game ten times the fun by themselves.

[quote who="Lantros" reply="14" id="3279860"]The problem is until now your are not constructive.[/quote] You confuse "Not positive" with "not constructive" most of my posts actually have been constructive. But your notion of constructive is useless because it has no teeth and never gets read, whiney negative fits get read, polite docile feedback almost never does. [quote who="Lantros" reply="14" id="3279860"]You are only negative, valentine. And this helps nothing. Tell us wha

[quote who="Mmrnmhrm" reply="6" id="3279944"]Since this is the best fantasy strategy game I've played in years[/quote] I may be wrong but I think it's the only one that's been made in years. [quote who="Lord Xia" reply="8" id="3280000"]What idiot review would say this game is a casual 4x game?[/quote] The game seems more casual than it is on the surface, in the review it's compared to Civilization 5. [quote who="Lord Xia" reply="8" id="3280000"]

Hey is it possible to make scalable 2d representations of everything in the game based on screenshots from different zoom angles?

[quote who="Wizaerd" reply="35" id="3279707"]And nerdrage does? [/quote] Yes and it did. What you don't comprehend is that polite positive and docile threads fall out of sight and never get read. This one did, I got an answer, it's not dignified but it works. The industry won't even see an issue a lot of the time unless there's someone throwing a big enough tantrum to call attention to it. You may not like it but that's how the world works.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="40" id="3279933"]In WOM, we only had 1 texture for each environment. That's one of the reason the brown and blah colors got so bad. In FE, we have a lot more textures per environment. Since the original design was that each race would get their own environment (i.e. temperate, desert, ice, swamp, vivid, dead, etc.) I think I have the most justification to complain. [/quote] So that was the original plan? Just that would have made such a

[quote who="Wizaerd" reply="11" id="3279813"]What a sad poor baby... I feel so very sorry you.[/quote] I feel sorry for you, it's like you feel an obligation to defend the industry from negative feedback. [quote who="Wizaerd" reply="11" id="3279813"]It's almost as if you've never purchased any game before, because they all fall short of their potential. They all do not live up to their hype, every game creator misleads their customers in one way or anot

Today I saw a review talking about how this was a "Casual 4x game" suggesting that it being "streamlined" was a good thing because people new to the 4x genre can pick it up as a starting point for other 4x games. It was an all around positive review, but for a hardcore gamer and 4x vet it was a punch to the stomach. Is that the game Stardock meant to make? A casual 4x game? There's a big difference in my mind between casual and accessible, a game can be accessible without being ca

[quote who="Lantros" reply="5" id="3279720"] And, valentine, its not about going mad or something.[/quote] Like getting ripped off? [quote who="Lantros" reply="5" id="3279720"]You can go on with your bashing as long as the mods let you do this.[/quote] Oh they're free to bury their head in the sand and drown out negative feedback if they want. Hey I know, let's all not say anything negative then surly things will improve. I'm doing this because I care

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="1" id="3279708"]It is beyond me why you keep coming to these forums if the game is so abhorrent to you.[/quote] Because Stardock pulled a Peter Molyneux and conned money out of me when War of Magic was released, and all the potential for a much better game is here just buried beneath the surface, and I want to see this game become a better game. [quote who="Heavenfall" reply="1" id="3279708"]We get it![/quote] I don't care whether you

Is that it inspired me to play Shadow Magic again. I know this makes some of you mad but Stardock needs to see the comparison brought up some more because obviously it hasn't sunken in and this isn't the opinion of just one guy on the internet, this is a recurring comparison and it's never a good one for Fallen Enchantress.

The one thing that may redeem this game is modders with access to such a powerful site as Nexus to support their efforts.

[quote who="Wizaerd" reply="33" id="3279674"] No, what people are get defensive about is when someone is obviously baiting them with "this sucks, that sucks, everything sucks. Stardock sucks, they blew it. Bland, borings, suck, sucks, sucks".[/quote] Well the "Bland" "Boring" homogeneity problem is brought up in a lot of reviews.

[quote who="Murteas" reply="19" id="3270405"]Stardock hasn't broken our mods. [/quote] I personally watched mod after mod break in WoM, not just in the transition to FE. Don't tell me they haven't, I saw them do it, I saw the backlash when they did, that's why I left. [quote who="Murteas" reply="19" id="3270405"]Unless you are talking about the improvements they are making in their own patches.[/quote] Not everything they do in their patches is an impro

Oh look just like with the Ideas forum on WoM, it's just a place to spin your wheels out.

[quote who="Victor5" reply="25" id="3279039"]I stumbled across this myself while attempting to make the environments as they were back in WoM on my own. Spreading desert or snowy tundra across the world while you conquer it had such a fresh, unique feel to it compared to the others. I was fairly shocked when I found it wasn't going to work. Most of the features and gameplay mechanices from WoM which were removed mostly needed more polishing or weren't too highly regarded i

[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="22" id="3273900"]I'm a liar, eh?[/quote] No, you're just not stepping back and honestly judging this in the context of it's predecessors or in the context of what Stardock was saying prior to the release of War of Magic, or you're being overly generous despite that context and the myriad of glaring flaws, bugs, AI quirks ect, giving it a higher score than it would otherwise get if you stepped back and judged it fairly.

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="65" id="3270870"] Quoting Ben Yeoh, reply 59You owe it to yourself to give it a go and then you'll understand why it's held as the inspiration behind FE and Warlock and Age Of Wonders and why just about every pesky person on this forum is raving about it so much . It's also freeware. It is NOT freeware. I think you are confusing it with 'abandonware' (which isn't a legal term anyhow), but even that isn't true, because M

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="12" id="3272666"]Thanks for the support. Truth be told I'm already at version 1.5f (1.5c was the last one available) so this is quite troublesome. If I submit that one, is it going to take another 40+ hours? [/quote] I have to say your mod makes a game that's otherwise so boring it's unplayable actually enjoyable.
