[quote who="Zard0z" reply="17" id="2784401"]Because we can't remake MoM on hexes [/quote]Excuses. :P

MoM didn't have hexes and no one ever has complained in these boards about it, despite being greatly acclaimed by many of the forum users.

Why aren't tutorials like scenarios? You want to learn about city creation and first steps in city building? An scenario for that. Want a more advanced tutorial about it? (pioneers) Then another scenario just for that. Something like that would also make it easier to update the "tutorial" as new things are added/tweaked. Graphics are fine but be my guest and improve! :) About multiplayer, these days I don't even have time for singleplayer... but as I paid for the fe

[quote who="Guyfamous" reply="85" id="2784026"]As a GOG user, I wasn't bothered by this. I have my games, DRM free, saved to my hard drive and backed up.[/quote]This. Still need to burn mine to a disk and/or make USB copy. [quote who="Guyfamous" reply="85" id="2784026"]Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are looking at this the wrong way. Instead of being upset that GOG went down for four days, they should think about what would happen if Steam went down for four days. Or four w

[quote quoting="post"] I been hearing a lot of problems are going on with Civilization V. I am curious if that game will be judged by the same merits that Elemental was judged? What do you guys think? [/quote] http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3181540

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="64" id="2783150"]Meh. http://www.gog.com/ First of all we would like to apologize everyone who felt deceived or harmed in any way by us closing down GOG.com without any warning and without giving access to your games. We apologize for that from the bottom of our hearts! Now it's time we put an end to all the speculations once and for all. It’s true that we decided that we couldn't keep GOG.com the way it was&he

[quote quoting="post"]This is what a good UI looks like, as far as design goes: it's intuitive, it stands out, and does its job very well. [/quote]Basing your opinion in a pic, without being able to actually try it (the interface, not the pic) and see if it really works well...

[quote who="luketan" reply="127" id="2782832"] Exactly. It's obvious this is what is happening. [/quote] Don't take wrong what I'm about to say but if you (all) truly believe that then: you shouldn't (as in suggestion, not order) be bothering coming back because you are in the road to (more) dissapointment. Unless you hit jackpot and Stardock happens to make improvements that you like. You are obviously free to stay and all that but if you t

[quote who="Tridus" reply="724" id="2782807"]Apparently if you don't hate Steam and the children of those who made it, then you're working for Valve.[/quote]If that means extra monthly income without extra work... I LOVE Steam!![e digicons]

[quote who="coreimpulse" reply="58" id="2782105"]I wont be buying from them again when they relaunch. I'll just get the games i already bought and go somewhere else. [/quote]If they keep offering good games, with low prices and DRM free, I'll survive to it and keep buying there whenever I want. Unless another "GoG" appears somewhere, they had the best scheme for what they offer (and I love Impulse but even it has client dependency).

[quote who="Reianor3" reply="113" id="2782108"]So don't worry, when dev. team says "give us feedback" that means "keep daydreaming, we're to busy to actually communicate".[/quote]Stardock has the right to ask us what we think/want/suggest and then do whatever they want with that feedback. The EULA doesn't include "Stardock will make sure to include your feedback in the game". This is some kind of brainstorming, which means that people can suggest anything they want...

When I want to load/save a tile in the Workshop, it would be very nice to have a bigger screen to scroll in so I can see more tiles in less time... and/or a text input to filter tiles shown. Don't make me create a pic to illustrate my poor explanation. XD The rest has been extensively mentioned already.

[quote who="Malloreon" reply="10" id="2781899"]How does it not fit? If the original publisher doesnt sell it anymore its abandonware - maybe GOG/Impulse are simply selling something that is not claimed by anyone anymore? Such as how someone might pick up trash, clean it up, and sell it. I'm not sure, but I could imagine this scenario.[/quote]Sticking to the first definition of the UrbanDictionary: software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer,

[quote quoting="post"] (a shard this time) [/quote]Totally avoidable by giving the Sovereign more Mana generation and/or traits that give a similar effect. But yeah, happy land is not good news, especially with randomness being so... random: My last game had in the initial spot two fertile lands, a gold mine, ancient library and crystals. It was a mix of "Woohoo!" and "WTF?".

[quote who="Malloreon" reply="6" id="2781785"]Well, both Master of Magic, and Master of Orion 1 are abandonware [/quote] Doesn't fit: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=abandonware And surely NOT this: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/abandonware.html

My personal all purpose spam... Sovereign creation Blood inheritance Also known as Race. It can affect your base stats and unlock some special traits/weaknesses specific to the selected race. Social inheritance Select from a list of factions. These factions are not those of the factions that the player may have created but a different list with pre-cataclysm factions (hypothesis: all Sovereigns were alive before the Cataclysm and Factions

[quote who="esc923" reply="3" id="2780457"]Today, I can say it's not a terrible game but, in it's current state, neither is it worth the high end price you pay.[/quote]Always look on the bright side of life: two expansion packs for free (instead of around $15 each). Yes, that doesn't change the game's release, actual state and everything else. But you still get those two expansion packs for free.

They are all bald, using wigs, but don't get intimidated by a bald intolerant society after using robes/hats (dropping the use of wigs).

[quote quoting="post"] i think a lot of the problem is too much input from the community.[/quote]Curious. Many people here seems to think that there was not enough input in the game. O_o Half full, half empty? In the end Stardock does whatever they think is best. Player input may just serve as guide/oritentation about things that can be better and doable. Better but not doable things are irrelevant no matter how much people spam about them.

[quote who="Zard0z" reply="4" id="2781499"]Just learn how to configure DosBox. Those games are abandonware mostly, it's not fair to charge for them [/quote]Are they abandonware if they are legally sold/distributed? Because that doesn't sound like very abandoned to me.

Er... Did you notice that if you create a custom faction the only way to delete it is to actually exit the game and delete manually the XML file? Because if I can delete in game my custom Sovereigns (for those who noticed how), why not factions? I don't think it's something crazy to ask for it to have been there by default.

[quote who="Eiralin" reply="12" id="2779656"] Some of the more rabid supporters of Elemental and Stardock have made it CLEAR that Blizzard in particular is the face of all that is evil with the PC gaming industry. Using the example of Starcraft 2 in particular. Generally with little more than "Starcraft 2 sucks" as the rationale. [/quote]I have seen the same from Elemental and Stardock non supporters. Why aren't they mentioned? Anyway, wasn't Activision the evil

[quote who="Tridus" reply="615" id="2780016"] Also not true, in the case of Civ 5. It supports Steam's offline mode. [/quote]Only thing, as DRM, that makes Steamworks better than Ubisoft DRM. Something is something.
