Champions ftw

Wouldnt that apply to female sovereigns too? So picking a female one would give you a disadvantage which cannot be justified other than for realsim in a fantasy game....alas not at all.

Its the same in civ, at least since 3. In 2 you only had a chance to succesful move when you didnt had enough movement points. But i guess that maked the game too luck dependent.

Yeah instead of polygamy you could have a "lays eggs" trait for female sovereigns [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

Since the shard system already reminds me of mana in FFH2, we can as well make the player recieve a small number of free shards at the beginning of the game, so he can cast at least some basic spells wihtouth having to search for specific shards. So you could choose, for example, one shard type for your sovereign and he/she get the corresponding spellbook for free, just like you choose the background. But you can still spend points on additional spellbooks.

A ping of 0 ms? You dont even get such a ping to your own PC.

Just happened again. even earlier into the game http://pastebin.com/bKEqFteB (the insert link button is greyd out)

It just freezed in with the end turn button greyd out. I had to end it via task manager. debugg.err: http://pastebin.com/mMvUk2h7

Yes and the "hardy" trait didnt give me any bonus hitpoints i think. neither did constituiton. i still got the basic 40. Also i got spells from the test spellbook and fire spellbook but i only selected fire and ice. (this may be intentional because there are so few spells so we can test them)

I think the random generated names for the sovereign were not any better. they are a bit too fantasiesh.

[quote who="MatBerryman2" reply="9" id="2550737"]Hey. that sort of looks like mine, Except mine has berries (of some sort) on the other side of the mountain/ [/quote] I also had them there and i think the sov may be standing on them in the screenshot. only my farmland location was north of my capital instead of east.

wait a turn or click on the city field, it may be there. its a bug anywy

I did use fresh saves but still got the ctds when loading them.

Too bad i bought it off steam. Anyway, waiting for mb: warband now...

I did not say it was a bad game at the core. But the campaign/story does seem to suck and having to dumb down the game to make it work on older systems is not a good excuse. They could have optimised the engine instead. Just look at Sins of a Solar Empire(ironclad/stardock) or AI War: Fleet Command(indie), which have unit counts of at least a similar scale if not even more than Supcom1. Yet have even lower requiered system specs than supcom2 while being relative low budget titles. Bot

Hey that almost looks exactly like my own starting location in my 1g game (too bad it crashes when loading the save game).

The auto explore function moved my sovereign into an enemy sovereign (who was just sitting there doing nothing btw). No combat occured. And it failed to move it out of that tile again. I had to manually select it and move it somehwere else. Which was a bit hard cause the enemy keept me selecting my own unit. Something similiar also happend when one of my units retreated into a tile where already a unit of mine was. BTW the summon fire eleme

So far all my children and all of those of other soveriegns have been girls... Anyway, it would be useful to know the gender of the child when giving it a name.

I cant see the video, only a black box. (both in firefox and IE).

it means that the game will not run on the 64 bit version of windows xp. but it certainly will on the 32 bit version
