You can tell him to leave your territory the same way he tells you to leave his. The AI is just generally pretty vigilant about always threatening you and maintaining border integrity. The mechanic (the ability to violate borders and try to sneak through) is nice, but the implementation is clunky. Really, there should be an option to tell the unit to leave right in the unit window when you select a foreign unit that is in your territory. Having to go into the diplomacy
Had the same issue at first. Are you logged into your SD account on the SD store page? If you're not it'll give you that error. There is no option that I saw to log in as part of the process. Log in first, then try to buy it.

[quote who="Bobchillingworth" reply="10" id="3276833"]Nonsense. The issue with having severely overpowered units & spells is that they limit game options. If I'm playing as Trogs, I can either use Juggernauts, which completely steamroll every AI and quest, or deliberately play sub-optimally to gimp my faction (as in, either avoid building them or deploy them poorly). I could also decline to play as the Trogs altogether. None of these o

[quote who="starkers" reply="18" id="3276190"] Yes, and probably why Sinofsky resigned. Thing is, Win 8 is not a bad OS. However, the changes are too great for some and it's not selling as well as perhaps Ballmer had hoped, meaning somebody has to be the fallguy, though Sinofsky jumped before he was pushed. It's a shame, really, because Win 8 is a solid OS with a lot going for it, and being Sinofsky's brainchild it should really be him who takes Windows forw
[quote who="sjaminei" reply="1" id="3276696"] Volcano one shotting a faction... not good. (or at least I think it did, was a 1vs1 where I hit the sovereign with volcano, and I won instantly, he had 7 cities left) [/quote] Did you report it as a bug? That's certainly a bug. Anytime a Sovereign dies while they have cities left they should be returned to the nearest city.
I think it's possible to admit that it was a great game, classic even, and still wasn't perfect. People sometimes hold MoM up as if it is a shining beacon of game design nirvana whenever they want to bludgeon a modern game. It's something that people do with all classic games. The classics are never perfection personified no matter what nostalgia tells us. MoM was quite fun though.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="20" id="3272412"]Should almost do a poll on this: Would you be willing to give up player designed units to have a greater visual variety in the races?

32 and GC2 crossover. Found WOM one day because I came to the site randomly looking to see if there was any news about GC3.
It's amazing to me that DLC is one of those things that trigger massive uncontrolled internet nerd-rage. If you don't want it, don't buy it. If you want some premade maps and new stamps to enhance your random maps buy it. If you feel like supporting Stardock some more, buy it. It's not like they're charging people for key content. They're f'ing maps and stamps. Otherwise, get over it. Does anyone honestly think tha
[quote who="bbr91" reply="117" id="3271333"]Brad, make a poll. See how many people would pay $5 for a map pack DLC and how many people would pay $5 for a content DLC. Seriously, releasing a map pack DLC is like opening a donations account. Perhaps some people would play the maps out of curiosity, but that's not why they would pay. While I'm generally against this DLC trend, releasing interesting content in them will justify their purchase. But I prefer the approa
