A true sandbox game would be impossible using AI. The randomness you desire can only be accomplished in an mmo environment. But no one has had the courage to truly give us a game like wing commander privateer or X3 in an mmo. Such freedom would give players the ability to do anything, and skill would be based on tactics and skill on a joystick rather than skill points or levels. Also, real consequences for actions, asset, ship, and material loss. This kind of thi

Then I want my sling, bola, and ballista! Talk about knockback power, an enchanted arrow on a ballista, there be nothing scarier!

I just want my babelfish!

Sean, an mmo that requires skill, in a starfighter or on the ground, is a risk that no company wants to take right now. It would involve a system of consequences for your actions, and would require people to learn and improve upon the game, instead of just being stat whores and tapping a few keys on there keyboards. I would play eve online, if I could use my joystick, then I would show some punks how to really fly a starship. The thing is, games are escapism

the multiple mines thing has been a bug with multiplayer since release, interesting it was never fixed. Guess that shows they were die hard about fixing single player/creating a fun experience. Looking forward to FE, and heres hoping (fingers crossed) mutliplayer makes it in. Been sharing this with all my buddies, all Ffh2 players, so FE multiplayer would be something awesome!

But with steam, a connection is necessary the first time you run the game, after that offline mode is perfectly acceptable.

any chance i can get in a game later today?

Derek made a post a few days ago explaining why the delay on the beta is happening. The thread is "Iteration." Go have a read, and you will understand they want a more polished version before letting the community get there hands on it. As we all know, the best advertising is word of mouth, and if we receive something of polish (minus a few bugs, cause we need something to do), it will provide a much better experience for all, and be on the right track for sales.

sounds good, i will be online shortly, just had to reinstall due to running the after war mod. Ondis, are you online?

Banned because what I see "going down tonight" is that Off-topic is accessible from Elemental again. Hopefully that's a decision and not a forum coding mistake.

Hey Brain, your banned for not asking what is going down tonight.

in your game

ji see, well the after war mod changes files, however i did manage to log into the multiplayer lobby, so it may work, i should be online around eighteen hundred hours central time

i would also be down for a game, free tonight and tomorrow night. Would anyone be down for playing the after war and expanded factions mod?

So, are you thinking of a faction type ala the Infernal from Fall from Heaven 2? An entire faction that must be summoned from the nether world would be awesome. The more people that die, the stronger the faction becomes. However, does it fit with the lore of the world? Did one of the Titans possess the power of death magic? Is something like this what brought about the cataclysm?

Is the the biggest map size we will ever see? Or can we go something crazy with the map generator? You know, like a world as big as The Elder Scrolls?

Complain?? Who said anything about complaining? Hail to the Frog king, he can do no wrong! I bet it comes out on friday for those lucky enough to be in the first round.

Dont you know, this is all part of his plan. He said he would let people know after thanksgiving, but that includes up till next thankgiving! ;)

Could it be argued this a beta announcement? All hail the king!

Awesome!! Also, the part about going around killing champions, glad to see its a viable strategy to keep down your opponents, and that the AI is smart enough to pull it off! Darn Empire, be killing my mans. ;)

Having supported Stardock from the get go on EWOM, and the subsequent experiment that followed, we have patiently waited for Fallen Enchantress. Rushing the Beta will not bring it to us any faster. I look at it like this. I bought EWOM on release day, and like many of you, never found it to be a "fun" game. So, let those of us who are not the first in the beta say, Santa shall bring it to us on Xmas day. Until then, make some Egg Nog, revel in the holiday spirit,
