[quote quoting="post"] Over the past 20 years there has been a lot of changes in how games are made. When I first got started, I had Deluxe Paint, Vista Pro and graph paper as my non-compiler tools. My latest, favorite gadget is the Wacom Cintiq which lets me, very quickly, whip up UI designs to pass on to the team for critique. Below is a screenshot of a UI mockup for something we’re working on. [/quote] That looks
I would rather see LH expanded with Multiplayer / Cooperative multiplayer where players control the same Empire but different "Sovereigns" than any time being wasted on a by now dated product.
[quote] Not everyone, in fact, I would argue not even most people are particularly familiar with using computers even today. They have some expertise with some piece of software but in terms of navigating the operating system itself, their understanding is remarkably fragile. I run into this every day when I deal with enterprise customers (who, I might add, represent a significant percentage of the 5+ million Start8
What compels you to post this here of all places and not on the official forum, where it would not only be relevant, but also you might get feedback from the community, or is that what you are afraid of? This seems little more than a vague attempt at bashing Cryptic Studios.
[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="7" id="3365275"] There are at least 4 games represented there. [/quote] Hmm, at least 4, so there could be more than 4. *puts on detective hat* ## Game 1 ## No worthwhile guess <img src="https://draginol.stardock.net/images2011/Stardock-Future-Gaming_BAD8/image_9.png" alt="" width="205" height
At this point I'm not sure I want another Master of Magic. Other than polishing it up with new graphics and making the interface more intuitive anno 2013, it becomes very risky messing with the "formula" without disturbing the core gameplay and what made it "Master of Magic". In the end it has set a foundation for other games to draw inspiration from, the Elemental series, Age of Wonders series, ect. I think it's more interesting to see what other designers come up with,
I have the sovereign plus two other champions relatively early on in the game and feel like I'm forced to bench them in favor of the Sov running around on his own with the available regular joe units. I agree entirely with the OP about the feeling of being strong armed into having champions in separate armies, but this simply isn't viable early on. Not when you need bare minimum 5 units to combat the early monsters reliably. &n

[quote who="kwm1800" reply="9" id="3344775"] Notice rather inactive modding forum? I really don't think it is worth for the trouble because this game just has very basic stuffs regarding mods. Unless someone finally does brave, tiresome work called reverse-engineering-whole-engine, the modding FE/LH is just tiresome and tied to very basic, simple mods.[/quote] Having a solid system to handle distribution and updates of mods would only help to encour
[quote who="Solam" reply="2" id="3344068"] That's one of my problems I have very little information about the device. DM says it's an unknown device. I have found a store that sells the item http://www.gizfever.com/dual-display-adapter-p-259.html but no drivers link. Thanks[/quote] Check the device manager for the Unknown Device, Right click it and choose Properties. Now
Shield Bash could cause a Daze instead of Knockback, this would make it alot more worthwhile.
When people say there's a cap towards how many are produced, it means there's a cap to how many are active at a given time. So if you keep deleting them, you'll never reach the cap. The workaround for the uselessness of these camps is to let the mercenaries/trolls/ogres idle on the camp in 'Guard' state. On that note, ownership of one of these camps should permit the design (weapons, armor, equipment, traits ect.) and subsequent production of these type of
Interesting read Stardock, thanks for reading. Minor chuckle at hiring all those various civ 4/5 devs.
[quote who="Kestral2040" reply="5" id="3342578"] if you could send me the save ([email protected]) I will try to repro it here and get that fixed... I've been told about this happening before but have never been able to get it to happen[/quote] Repo steps 1) Champion + regular units in the army 2) Fight a battle, let champion die during combat but let the regular units survive and win the battle. 3) Whole army is tel
Heroes could be immune to Swarm bonus, that would help them considerably. Or there could be a tech upgrade which gives Heroes "bodyguards" so they have more "people in their unit", which would have a % chance to soak the damage instead of the Hero when damaged.
The AI currently ping pongs between War and Peace too much, so a NAP is definitely needed for Peace proposals.
Another alternative is to let the Adventure's Guild removed the XP shared penalty among Heroes when it is built.
The world of elemental is a dangerous place, as it should be.
Doesn't really "solve" the issue for those wanting to play without Adventure specialization. Another alternative would be an early tech, possibly even the Heroes in the Magic tree, which removes the XP penalty.
The general issue with the paths is they simply aren't yielding fun, interesting, useful, tangible upgrades every level, which they should given the rarity of higher level champions and the severe penalty of grouping champions together, and simply because fun gameplay is important. Then there's a general lack of focus within each path, coupled together with "deep roots" which extend quite far having to go through Generic_StatUps#1-4 to get to the "fun" stuff such as new spells
ModelScale should adjust the whole model, up and down in size. Also should be nothing preventing item use that I know of. But that may have changed since I messed with it.
[quote who="Ishantil" reply="23" id="2791050"]Girls with pants! I like to make my archers female, and once I put armor on them, the skirts are no longer avaialble. What we need is battle skirts! In any event, when adding armor to females, they have bare knees once the armor is on them, makes them look silly.[/quote] That is unfortunately due to how the core models are dressed. The females have bare knees and shins, which is what shows underneath
Wait, people still use WLM/MSN? http://www.trillian.im/ And gmail as mail client. You can even run your shoddy hotmail or ISP email through gmail.
It has not worked from or since launch, I can't account for it's functionality prior to that. But it's intentionally disabled. It's not hooked up anywhere, so modding XML won't do anything. I also doubt we'll see it "fixed" or re-enabled with the whole mana / magic mechanics change due in 1.1.
[quote who="seanw3" reply="20" id="2786649"]Yes, can you show us the pattern of male baldness. I just wanted to know if you have thought about adding in dodge, dare, and assassinate to your custom screen. It would save me the trouble.[/quote] I assume that's directed at James, seeing as how I haven't modded anything regarding any 'custom screen'.
