Titanx3

One of the things that does make battles a lot bigger is parties and armies- which increases the number of troops in a unit.

Back in beta I reported a problem with logging into the mp section of the game. I am still unable to log into the shift-tab interface, I get "your impluse account does not have access to this title" which is of course clearly rubbish since I can log into that account in impluse, install, update, and run the game :P

Frogboy, I am using a ATI card and have attempted the windowed mode version you suggested. Its great, apart from a single issue- in windowed mode edge of screen map scrolling doesnt work- nothing happens! :(

[quote who="VonVentrue" reply="19" id="2690428"] But yes, 2kgames is going full Steamworks. They're doing it for Civ 5, so why not Mafia II. You can complain all you want, but until Steam does something stupid like take a 50% cut from the publishers or someone comes up with a better alternative (waiting on you Reactor), games will be using Steamworks. Convincing the publishers - so happily jumping on the Steam bandwagon - to embrace Impulse Reactor will un

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="2" id="2691765"] There. Now to find some frigging Pokemon models and pirate Twilight again, like all good Internet users should I hope that's a joke....we frown on pirating here. We're funny that way![/quote] Its Twlight, if he wants to torture himself to death, he should be allowed to do it for free :P

[quote who="Murteas" reply="4" id="2691779"] So hopefully it will just be the pirates that get the lesser version.[/quote] Yeah, right.

Actually Frogboy, Downloads account for a far far greater number of sales then you might think. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/07/21/whee-downloads-now-48-of-pc-game-sales/ But it seems thats simply because this collection company fails at actually taking downloads into account correctly until now >.

[quote who="StormbringerGT" reply="82" id="2688501"] I would love to play the next Fall From Heaven mod on Elemental. It makes perfect sense! FFH was created as a throwback to Master of Magic. If you haven't tried Fall From Heaven 2 for Civ IV you probably should! Anyway thats would I like to play! [/quote] Fall from Heaven is being turned into a actual game.

[quote who="blix2006" reply="13" id="2682584"] i loved some of the crap the ai would try to trade for your good tech..."we will give you fishing for space travel wadda ya say " and then get mad when you laugh them out of the building (civ 4)[/quote] Its also the feeling that the A.I's are tech trading you out of the game, happily sharing techs with eachother and refusing to share with you!

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="2682532"] Quoting strager, reply 3Speaking of Diplomacy - Can we still trade technologies? What about complex alliances (3 or 4 players forming some kind of group alliance etc.)? Outside of trading stuff what else can you do? Also how is the dynasty system coming along? Been waiting to see the finalized version. For v1.0, no. The tech trading in GalCiv was never satisfactory and we are trying to avoid that here. &

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="10" id="2680976"]Why not just download Visual Studio Express? It's free, and all the screenshots Frogboy posts with the XML files are from VS [/quote] Pretty much that.

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="66" id="2668148"]It would be very nice to play in the world of Robert Jordans: Wheel of Time!! WOT is epic adventure on the grand scale. Its my personal favorite. Book 12 Towers of Midnight is set to come out this fall (whohooo WOT and EWoM will make this a fine winter indeed). With the final book, A Memory of Light coming late next year. Its gonna take time and creativity to port that world into this gam

Dying to try this now :D

Not bothered, Sorry guys but im a big fan of both Steam and Impluse, both offer very good value, and support. Really looking forward to Civ5, and im happy its locked into steam, because I can buy it cheaply on disk from amazon or somewhere, and then download it anytime anywhere from steam. :)

[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="21" id="2655614"]Good tactical needs : Placement of units matters : if you're on higher grounf you should have a bonus on damage but a reduced evasion, attacking from behind should give bonuses to hit %age, pincer attacks, ambushes in special squares Morale : it shoudn't be only bonuses/maluses. It should be about breaking, being pinned, fleeing in terror, being paralyzed by terror, being berzerk, getting less morale maluses when you get hit

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="2" id="2655513"] I definitely would not mind some audio reminders, though. The basic "Building finished!" will remind you to check your event log to see what finished where. Or perhaps a subtle visual, like slight flashing of the events to catch your eye. Would be nice to be able to customize/suppress events you don't want. Like you can go into Options and select "Don't send me finished construction events".[/quote] That would be extremely usef

I was just about to make a new topic on this subject, but ill post here instead since it seems to be a good thread for it. Events in general seem rather...easy to forget about, often I only notice them when ive built up a huge number of them, and then its annoying to flick though so many, usually just to dismiss them. We need a....turn summary page option imo, a screen that pops up giving details of everything thats completed or happened. The even

So, as I understand it the mp account login is the same as your impluse account yes? Ok I can log into impluse and launch the game, but I get "Unable to log in, possibely due to incorrect username/password attempting to log into MP :( And yes, it is the right username/password :D
