Reply to Dominions 4?? in PC Gaming WinCustomize Forums

Well this is an old thread but the game has been out a good while now. I've got to say, I've had a ton of fun with it. Micromanagement is mostly gone aside from things that actually make a difference in terms of strategic choice – common things like rituals can be set to repeat, and tax rates and gemgen items are gone. It's got several new nations compared to Dom3, and more continuously, so it gets more and more worth the price every update. And it's on sale reasonably o

Reply to What's the Difference between an Exploit and a Strategy? in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

[quote who="KarlBar99" reply="24" id="3570042"] The easiest answer to the sensor boat issues would be to make sensor modules 1 per ship. You could stack multiple tech levels, but not multiples of the same. Thus last game you could still build the sensor systems you need for bigger maps, but only the smallest maps could give unreasonably large reveal. I've only found sensor boats really necessary early game on one specific setup. Abundant pirate

[quote who="slim82pk" reply="20" id="3431812"] Just a question by a consumer who bought Fallen Enchantress and FE:Legendary Heroes only recently: How much of the timeline is available to being retconned/changed and how much is set in stone?

It looks like a great start so far, but I don't know if we're seeing enough to give much more feedback than that.

Seems like there's a lot of negativity in this thread. Sure, some folks have a tough time with things and take it out on other people. Does that make them worse people? Well maybe, but ain't nobody perfect. As for anonymity, it's also the boon of the internet. It allows people to make and do things which will be judged on their own merits, not on a person's reputation, whether that be positive or negative.

Reply to The Xbox One Thread in Console Games Elemental Forums

I have a 360 but it seems like there's not much point in consoles any more. Every game worth playing on consoles is released on PC too. And considering there's already lots of PCs with better hardware than the new consoles are rumored to have, that'll probably continue to be the case.

Reply to Opinion: Bunny Slippers don't Fit. Solution: Please Remove in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

If your bunny slippers don't fit, removing them is a good option - you could even exchange them for another size. Similarly, if you think bunny slippers don't fit the game, well, you seem to have missed a number of silly events, but you can cut them out of the code pretty easily I reckon, I don't think the item format is changing.

[quote who="AgaresOaks" reply="9" id="3394045"]As someone who's put a lot of time into EU4 and enjoyed it, the gameplay can be quite slow, even on the maximum speed.

Some initial conquest, then like 12 hours of mucking about on another screen and occasionally spending mana on tech or ideas as you can, and then suddenly your nation is destroyed by Europeans in like an hour.<

It's still a better UI than Dwarf Fortress after all, and few people contest that that's a good game, at least for its niche.

Reply to Europa Universalis IV - Looks great - does anyone else think its buggy??? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Yeah, Paradox games are usually buggy at release. Unless you're a super-fan you should usually wait for like a year to get them. Naturally I've been playing EU4 since the day it came out. :) As for it progressing slowly, that's a feature, not a bug. The only game aspect which I think is all that bad is the leader mana, which is stretched way too far. Idea groups and tech do the same thing, there's no reason from a game design perspective why you should be choosing betw

Well, I enjoyed Enemy Unknown and will be getting this. It's more stuff and some of it looks real fun, while others are nice options if nothing else. But at that price point I don't think I'll be getting it until it goes on sale.

Reply to Dominions 4 can be preordered at Desura - the joy :) in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Honestly, it seems like a fine new iteration and I would buy it on it's own merits, even if the price point is a bit high. However I've heard too many bad things about their DRM, with people having to buy the game three times because they get locked out of it erroneously detected as pirates, and the company ignoring emails about it. As much as I admire the design goals of the game and how they go about it, I can't justify giving money to a company like that.
