Might I just say, I hate you and the time I've sank into Pandemic 2, and I'm probably going to get Pandemic 2.5.

That's an amusing sentence. At the same time, I think you always write silly things like that when writing huge amounts of text. I know I do. Thankfully, it's a beta, and such things can be fixed.

While I don't think that Stardock is racist, having a variety of skin tones would be nice.

[quote who="joasoze" reply="1" id="3125377"] I wish for a spell called "Deplete Mana". When cast it cost 400 mana and it depletes 200 mana from an empire of my choosing. This will enable more practical empires (focusing on units and not as much on spells) to level the playing field a little. [/quote] A nice variety of anti-magic spells would be cool. I know that in Dominions you could have a Drain kingdom which grants everyone magic resistance. Maybe a kingdom committ

Some of you might remember me from years back. I posted regularly on the forum and even made posts about mods I had been planning. I had been looking forward to WoM for years, ever since it was hinted at on the Twilight of Arnor journals. When E:WoM came out finally... I was disappointed. I felt like Stardock had dropped the ball. I even called my friends and told them not to buy the game. I abandoned my mods and traveled the internet, looking for a game that would sate my appetite fo

Great job man. I'll definitely make good use of it.

Another pleasant surprise! Damn.

I'm pleasantly surprised.

I will attempt to be there to discuss unit sizes. It's going to be frustrating building a mod when I know that the game's mechanics are going to go through revision after revision.

I'm disappointed in SD a little. Luckily, I think this whole experience for them is humbling rather than catastrophic, and a little humbling is good now and then.

I'm a little surprised it got a 6.5 from users. They tend to be a little more overly critical.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="12" id="2757013"]Guys, Let's focus the blame where it belongs and that is on ONE person: ME. I could list out the sins right here: I violated my long-standing tradition of monitoring the forums and playing the game and instead focused on working on the game directly. If I had spent more time on the forums instead of the compiler, I'd have been convinced of having a public Beta 5 and then likely would have just pushed the date

I don't think the beta testers were to blame here. Plenty of people made threads about how they were worried about the "release" of the game, and those threads were closed. Beta testers were told that the interior beta was very close to release and in a great state of completion. In fact, I think there wasn't enough beta tester involvement throughout the process. A lot of people had really good ideas that didn't "gimp" the game. The fact is, as far as I know, there wasn't really a tru

This review is accurate, even though it hurt to say it. If it was still "in Beta" I'd say we were on the right track, but the game needed a month, even two months of additional work. Man, I'm sad.

This makes me very sad Mr. Wardell. Very sad indeed. I believe, however, you can make good. Here's to hoping [e digicons]O:)[/e]

Looks good so far. The dev diary looks a little too "rehearsed". Still, I hope they spend more time polishing the gameplay on this go round.

I love Linley's Dungeon Crawl, especially if you love an agonizing grueling ordeal as I do. I'm having a lot of fun with Eschalon II, and I just installed the Witcher but have not played it yet. You might also want to check out spidweb games.

[quote who="unacomn" reply="7" id="2751886"]When I first heard some guy walked into a television station and took hostages, I thought: "Finally, someone solved the Glen Beck problem". Sadly there wasn't anything funny about it. But one thing does come to mind. How will they prove that playing Doom caused him to act like that?[/quote] This is what I think about that: <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-faCh8BU

My first suggestion: Make a text adventure! Simple to do, and with the right engine it's 90% creativity and 10% programming. I really should finish that text adventure I'm working on...

I'm generally the dissenting opinion here, but I like the humans and I'd rather they not make themselves extinct.

This is a constructive criticism post. I like many people love the concept of Elemental. As a preorder since day 1 I'm extremely invested in Elemental and I believe that Elemental will be eventually one of the great games. However... A few days a friend saw Elemental and asked if it was worth buying. I wanted to wholeheartedly recommend it. Unfortunately, I could not. Instead, I told him to wait a month. A shame, because I've been telling people how awesome Elemental is going

[quote quoting="post"] 7. To those reviewing the game: I would urge you to review the game prior to v1.1. I say this because v1.05 (the release day version) is the version of the game that was originally released and if that version of the game is considered flawed then my view is that Stardock should suffer the consequences for that. We appreciate the kindness and patience many people have shown. I just think game studios, including Stardock, need to be conscious of w

I love it. I'm intimidated to actually play it with real players, but I really enjoy it. It can get really intense though. I suggest you play 1 v 1 duel maps at first. I'm always launching into massive 26 player epics but these tend to drag, to be honest. Any other newbie Dom 3 players? Maybe we should start a PBEM game...

[quote who="otakucore2" reply="19" id="2742683"]I saw it last night, and it was awesome. I'm still concerned that the comic book might propagandize me, though.[/quote] If a comic book manages to propagandize you, you probably didn't hold onto whatever your beliefs are that firmly. Not that gripping onto a belief system is a good thing. I generally think a flexible mind that sees the inherent subjectivity in reality a hallmark of smart people. Also I'm glad you li

I don't care who you are, or what you've played. 99.999% of us can cope with playing games and avoid raping and murdering people. If you do shit like that, you're just vile.
