Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.
[quote who="Aractain" reply="1" id="2711363"]Bleh, I don't want a clone. I want a reboot that takes the feel (errr the hot female from DK2?) and puts it in an FPS action enviroment. But Scifi. With aliens. [/quote]And considering that PC gaming is dying*, forget about PC and focus on consoles! I have never played Dungeon Keeper so I'll have to keep an eye on this one, I suppose. * again

[quote who="Smarmellows" reply="34" id="2710414"]Games are supposed to be light-hearted (for the most part) escapes from reality. Games based on conflicts are usually either fictional or based on long past history, to make a game with Taliban in it that shoot and kill coalition soldiers makes light of the fact that it's actually happening. We can make light of WW2, and every other war that ever came before it, but you probably wont see any WW2 veterans playing any such games (not entirely to
[quote who="Tridus" reply="25" id="2710450"] This is a CPU bound process, using the CPU for something else is going to make it take even longer (and will hit people with single core CPUs the most as there won't be *any* parsing going on while the CPU is busy animating pong). Ultimately caching the parsed XML as a binary blob is the best bet. The majority of the time the XML doesn't change from one load to the next. Civ 4 did something similar and the load time gains are substa
[quote who="Tormy-" reply="1" id="2710436"]It would be cool to have a "successor system", but since it's against the lore, we won't have anything like this. [We've talked about it a lot a while ago.] Perhaps some decent coder will be able to mod in a successor system.

Just tried IE 7 at the office. It hanged in the animation for uploading (the animated circle thingy) but on refresh it had the new avatar.
I'm "glad" that Europeans don't have such dilemma between retail or Impulse... [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]
[quote quoting="post"] [/quote] See that book? Pick it or another identical. Put it with my Limited Edition copy. Then send it to me after charging my credit card the proper amount for the book. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Thank you for doing your work, Stardock. I hope that I can shake the burdens of my job (not permanently, just enough to stop working on weekends) and enjoy the result
I get that error message in Chrome but not in IE 8. In IE 8 I simply don't get any kind of message and the pic of the avatar appears as if I had none (I do have it though).
Game is released in two weeks... [e digicons]o_O[/e]
[quote who="cromcrom" reply="46" id="2709615"] I was talking about these technical modding specific questions. I am sorry if I may sound agressive, but this forum overall starts to make me feel like civfanatics forum, where you won't get an answer if you are not from "the club", or answers like "I could do it, so just try to figure out yourself..." [/quote]There is no "The club" and no one has post to say "I could do it, so just try to figure out yourself...". Maybe people are still

[quote who="John_Hughes" reply="94" id="2708874"]Any word on when the "Stay Tuned" bit will continue?[/quote] Stay Tuned One of the best movies ever. John Ritter ftw!!!
I haven't been able to play Beta 4 so much (at least not lately) but I ended creating "snake cities" to make sure I could "influence" as much resources as possible.
If I were to ask (because it is still free, not because modelers/artists are as easier to find as coders) I would ask for... Ancient greece equipment (male/female human), from weapons or armours to clothes. Add some "in character" buildings. As the previous petition but for chinese/japanese stuff. Arcane weapons and armours ("modern" technology based on magical crystals) As for "races"... <img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn195/sum

[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="14" id="2706769"]I think there should be more racial diversity in the game. Especially the Kingdoms should have more races than just Humans (they don't have to be in the campaign, but the sandbox mode can have more races). I like the standard fantasy races, but some non-standard ones are good too (like Qunari in Dragon Age and the Fallen races in Elemental).[/quote]There are Fallen aligned with the Kingdoms instead of the Empires (much like Krax, being humans, are
I wanted The Fanboy Edition, which would include a copy of the book along with the game, map, dragon... Can I order one, pretty pretty please? [e digicons]:pout:[/e]
I hope that the Empire Tree is called Kingdom Tree when I'm playing as such. Just saying. :P Any news about super duper edition with "The Book" included? Anything that saves me from another extra shipping from the USA would be most welcome. Specially if it really has "extra stuff" for buying "The Book".
[quote quoting="post"] So I've been following this game for quite a while now, but I haven't really heard anything about races. [/quote]That's contradictory. You have humans (Man, Amarian, Ironeer, Tarthan, Mancer and Krax*) and fallen (Wraith, Trog, Urxen and Quendar). Elves, dwarves and similars are in many mods that will be done for the game. * these humans are in the Empire side instead of the Kingdom one.
