Shit... I traced this one down and fixed it a while back, but I've forgotten what I did. Will look into it and get back to you. Edit: I uninstalled it so I can't go digging through my settings. :( I did however look into the problem again, three things to do. Disable hardware sound, switch to 16 bit, and lower the detail settings. All or a combination of them are required, it's a fubar game that used a scre

Judging by the list, your preference is somewhere inbetween braindead and less traditional RTS games. DoW is probably the best choice. It's one of the better recent additions. If SC and WC weren't on that list, I'd recommend Kohan, but it may be a little slow for your preferences. It requires far more thinking and little to no reflexes. If it didn't bore you, it would be a big hit. It's almost as slow as Black and White 2, but without the p

Well, quite a lot of unfair dislike for tactical combat... In a game where you are controlling regiments, you are not running through the trenches telling individual soldiers what to do. You're doing exactly what an actual general would, commanding. Auto resolve between armies is just silly. The better led army almost always won in history, being larger or more advanced alone only won with massive disparity. I wouldn't blame shit

Plus side of having borders: Trade boundaries and troop access based on diplomatic relations. Border centric spell options, for instance, curse enemy land spells, boost friendly land spells, heal troops in friendly territory, etcetera. Negative side of having borders: Gay influence mechanics. :( I'm torn.

Since cities will take essence to found, why does this thread exist? More cities, more terrain to protect means a larger army. More improvements to purchase, and newly founded cities aren't going to be making money while they upgrade infrastructure to acceptable levels. In return for your essence, which will weaken you, you're taking a short term hit to productivity, in return for a long term advantage. Why would you want to remove the

Ok, seriously, leave the science out of it. Just because the opposition stoops to reality while arguing fiction doesn't mean we have to join them. Although I guess it is rather hilarious that a nuclear bomb detonated in space does anything but make pretty lights... I'd rather stick to conventional warheads too, it's not as if they run around firing off those big daddies in conventional warfare. That was a one time doomsday device to co

No one has said the leaders wont be customizable. It's a turn based fantasy 4x with tactical combat, city building, lairs around the map, heroes to recruit, and a god-like avatar of death for a leader that gains massive power as the game progresses by capturing sources of magic and learning new powers. Seems pretty similar to MoM from that perspective.

I hate, with vehemently venomous passion, random battle map generators. Anyone that's played HoMM5, that right there is a prime example of what not to do. Ones that follow the terrain would be outstanding.

Sova, 30,000 km/s is slow. Light speed is about 300,000 km/s. Star Trek ships, at impulse, have speeds in the 75,000 km/s range. You can't shoot something with an object that moves less than half as fast as it does when crawling. A longsword covering 16,000 km in a couple seconds is a longsword crawling through space at an extremely slow pace. 16,000 km for a Star Trek ship is to quick to time with a stop watch. You're just

Orodum, if you were anything but wrong, you wouldn't reinforce my viewpoint. Thanks. Phasers and lasers are the same concept. If you knew what a laser was, you'd know it too is a stream of subatomic particles. Going by the later definition, phasers also travel faster than light, but then you don't know squat about Star Trek, so this isn't surprising. The particles, instead of photons, are called rapid nadions, a faster than light subatomic partic

6 is pretty obvious, the green wall and accompanying trees are wrapped around the buildings in a uniform manner. Only a bleeding moron would build such a city, as the walls will be in the way right when he goes to build something else. It's a tiny little place, not at all a finished product. 7 I'm not real sure about, those large structures could be mountains, not hills in general. They do appear to be impassable, based on the hard edging. &nbs

Whilst amusing myself by mentioning this thread to someone else who finds it equally amusing, I realized that I've never mentioned how easy it is for trekkies to blow up stars. It slipped my mind on account of the feat being accomplished and described in detail for Star Trek: Generations. Shoot a bit of trilithium into star, halt fusion reaction. Star go boom. If star big enough, star go super nova boom, otherwise star just go boom and wipe out everyth

This is like talking to a wall. I obviously have a mental defect to be continuing. Capital ships in Star Trek move faster than fighters in Halo, no speed advantage there. Star Trek doesn't use fighters too often because when you can hit a dime from the other side of a planet, you can't really do much with them. Mobility over durability only works when you can avoid being shot. They can't. Covenant fighters would be so many

I can think of three options. You're not all idiots, meaning you're an above average subset of the species as a whole. Possible, but unlikely. More likely than if this were a different genre, but still... You're not all idiots, meaning I'm wrong and people aren't idiots.
