[quote who="LightofAbraxas" reply="12" id="2891519"] Quoting Nabbar, reply 8 Quoting LightofAbraxas, reply 6 Yeah, just poking a little fun. Considering that the actual changelog was at the top of the "Recent Posts" section, and the OP has created a new thread asking for the link for each beta release rather than looking around a little, I felt justified. No need for name-calling. 1st off I did look aro
[quote who="Glowing_Ember" reply="2" id="2894557"]ok lets see, there are a few ways of pulling it off. I am not sure how dominion handles it, but two really good examples are Master of magic and Heroes of might and magic. They do it in different ways,in master of magic you have "units". each unit can have between 1 and 8 individuals in it. when it attacks, each individual in the unit makes an attack roll and each roll is dealt with seperately. <br /
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="67" id="2894723"]Sometimes I read your name as SteveAnus, and then I giggle. So I like you. Looking forward to FE. But I'm backlogged on games and Dragon Age is coming shortly, I haven't even started Fable 3 yet, I have a ton of impulse deal buys that I need to play. Being a gamer is serious business, wish I could just play games at work. [/quote] Thanks for clearing that up Anus. Umm, I me
Some people are happy about the info Frogboy gave here. Some are not. Some think that the "new stuff" is not a "gift" to us early adopters but actually a moral requirement that is deserved. My favorite is the psychic fanboys who know everything SD is doing, and why they are doing it. Like, "SD could have just cut their losses and gave up..." etc. I realise arguing with fanboys is pointless, so I will address it to Stardock and anyone who wants to read it can do so as w
[quote who="psychoak" reply="202" id="2817890"] I don't remember that part in the Lord of the Rings, where the battle of helms deep finished and everyone went out and picked up all the weapons and then used to them to make a well equipped army. LOTR is a book written by someone with zero knowledge of war. [/quote] Not to bring up a dead thread. But you are off in two of your assumptions.
[quote who="Beric01" reply="1" id="2847399"] I haven't crashed since the beta . [/quote] Can't tell if I should laugh at this epic fail attempt at being a fanbois, or feel sorry for someone so in need of an eHug from a game company that they post this garbage. There is absolutely ZERO way that you "haven't crashed since the beta" unless you HAVE NOT PLAYED SINCE THE BETA. Good try though. 1.1 brought m
[quote who="Tridus" reply="103" id="2817762"] I want a game where I understand the result most of the time. Losing units in combat against overwhelming numbers makes sense. Losing against equal odds makes sense. Losing againt stronger units makes sense. Losing against a single vastly inferior unit because you rolled a 0 does not make sense. Losing against an equal unit where you get one shot and the other unit *doesn't get damaged at all* doesn't make sense. Fighti
[quote who="Glowing_Ember" reply="100" id="2817712"]For the record, i did follow this up nicely with fishslayer and we will see what kind of hero suggestions he has. Let us please try to keep it civil, I have to remember myself to be careful when i post at 5 am in the morning. [/quote] you did. I am about to type the strat to you as we speak. please explain your ENCHANT comment though. And also, remember, my arguement was never that Bows are not OP, or Daggers are OP, or The best
[quote who="Glowing_Ember" reply="93" id="2817628"] If you honestly think that heroes, without using magic to cast spells, summon or enchant things (i actually didnt know that enchant was broken until ppl mentioned it because i assumed it would not be so did not try multicasting it) are capabale units then i am very interested in how you pull it off.

[quote who="Sinzer" reply="95" id="2817665"]Fishslayer how old are you? I am no longer even going to reply to your input, Everyone else in the thread is pretty much agreed that heroes are underpowered compared to other units and only have some advantages due to other flaws in the game (AI, range OP). You are the only one who is basically posting like a troll. Glowing, I wouldn't apologise to him, he is just trolling. [/quote]
[quote who="Glowing_Ember" reply="93" id="2817628"]Ok Fish, if you think i have been rude i apologize, i certainly have not been trying to make this into a "my house is bigger than your house" contest.

[quote who="Glowing_Ember" reply="91" id="2817424"]seriously omg rant more - i can beat the game without using heroes. That is really not the issue. frankly its faster to crank out units than it is to level up my hero. spam civ tech to get gold. then warfare for 4 man groups - crank out observers till the cows go home and then go all zerg like. Sit back after killing 2 or 3 ai, then tech up rinse repeat. ther is no real mystery to it, see taht hero over there - my observers will kick the stuf
[quote who="Sinzer" reply="89" id="2817208"]Not being funny Fishslayer, but if you have this uber strat that no one else doesn`t seem to comprehend please share it. Oh yeah, and add a screenshot of your hero taking out a full stack of AI. I would like to see some evidence of how you manage to create a hero that takes down multiple dragons and 12 men units on ridiculous. I can only guess from your post that you have been drinking or something <br /
Wow, Lots of people seem to all be "on the same page" according to them, in how we "all play our heroes". I have basically outlined my strategy a few times in prior posts, so it is easy to deduce how I play (held back a few key secrets). But can you guys please explain how you make "uber heroes"? I only ask, because I have not seen it mentioned ONCE in these forums. Granted I have not scoured the posts until my eyes bleed, looking for the exact strategy I use, but since no one seems t
[quote who="Jharii" reply="173" id="2815682"] Quoting Tridus, reply 172 Only if that's what the game actually IS. This was originally build as the spiritual successor to MoM, and a game aiming to do that needs none of this stuff (but it does need an awful lot more spells and stronger combat mechanics). We definitely need a revisit of the "What is Elemental?" discussion, if only to find out what Stardock intends to build.
and guy above me has it right... make shields effective against ranged, and we will have no more archer uberness... But then why even make archers, and how do you win when the AI has a 20x production bonus on hard levels....
[quote who="Sinzer" reply="38" id="2813618"]Yeah but Fishslayer, that is not an example that heroes are fine it is an example that heroes are weak. Your strat, which is pretty much the strat that everyone uses is : * Give hero range weapon * Give hero spells * Let hero sit at back * Hope enemy doesn't get first turn and hit hero with range That is the only way that heroes are viable and it me
I would assume this is the old "Place Holder" developer trick. They put an item/spell in a game. It isn't completely fleshed out, so they "bug" it. They make it so the description is "item4326v.204red" or some crazy 'shit' ( trying to blend in here ) like that. This is completely a joke to have it cost 12k. It's not worth 250. Then again, nothing is worth over 250 (offensive) if that is price of longbows. I guess, they made EK sword, want to use it in game some
or a spell that removes dead 'roadblock' items (old huts that won't go away come to mind) A wind walker spell, basically you float over terrain (water, forest etc.) Mountain climbing spell, lets you walk over mountains without terraforming the 3x3 lower land would be a dream. I would sell 3 of my 4 offspring for that. Screw the dynasties, LOL a Haste spell for movement (we already have restricted number of enchantments, why not give us some sweet ones)
I had similar problem I think. Can't remember the exact error. Not to state the obvious, but can you install it from Impulse. I had to do that. I think I went into impulse, put in my id number, then downloaded it. Can't remember exact steps. I am sure you can figure it out though, wasn't too hard. good luck
[quote who="GreenReaper" reply="19" id="2734955"]You might, but I don't! Besides, I've written it up already.

Hmmm. I remember colonization and EU series different than most of you I guess. Colonization (great game for it's day) was basically a trading type game, right? One of the fundamental aspects of the game was getting the finished goods right? I played it, and am hoping I am not getting it confused bits and pieces, with others like stronghold, settlers, LoTR, etc... They all get murky until I break out the old game box... EU series, (great potential) was kinda cra
[quote who="Sherekhaan" reply="34" id="2813336"]If you don't reload though, you will periodically lose heroes, including the most powerful ones and there's pretty much nothing you can do since the change to who moves firt in a battle. I agree they are fine offensively, just their defense is lacking with no resist ability or levelled hitpoints. [/quote] I see your point and why you would say that. But trust me, there is virtually no way to lose a hero, if done right
[quote who="Dhraconus" reply="10" id="2813170"] Quoting FishSlayer, reply 9 My problem is this. I have a battle. I got 4 units, They got 12. I kill 6. I took me 9 minutes of real time (lag, strategy etc...) I now have the AI in deep poo-poo. MY Army value is 275, His is 94. My morale is 56, his is 30.... I hit A/R so I don't have to waste another 4 minutes (I am assuming the memory leak/lag is bad as I have been playing 4 hrs...) When I hit A
[quote who="econundrum1" reply="39" id="2812963"] Have to say I didn't know either, I play on large maps and normally have 1 level 5 city and a couple of level 3/4 cities plus lots of level 2 cities by the late game. My food stratergy is to build small villages near additional food resources I find and to research and use food enhancing tech. It's probably slower than your method but it gets there in the end.
