Heavenfall

[quote who="RogueCaptain" reply="7" id="2822014"]Solid work Heavenfall. Why not follow the original Stardock plan and have the "other" race's camps as the reward? Conquering or co-opting the darkling camp nets you the darkling resource, dragons roost begets dragon units ect. It should combine up well with the already existing Diplomacy tech mechanic. It's like seeing a horse resource nearby so naturally you go warfare research and nab the horse riding t

Nice. I love what we see about the city popup (as long as it only shows once per city! not once per city every turn). Nothing more annoying than trying to produce a unit in every town, having to check the city manager every turn. This will be doubly welcome with the added focus to large cities. Is morale gone for good? Or gone until you can do something fun with it. I hope we can link statistics to values in modding. For example, linking charisma

There is a modders' pack (with a bunch of stuff to help us make our own 3d models) in the works, but I don't know if that's the "art package" you're expecting.

Once you are aware, however, you can easily capture the city before you kill the sovereign. Still, it's not a good mechanic - it's extremely bad.

I think it was just a bit poor timing. Right now people are waiting for that "golden" beta to see the development of the game (even if it's buggy!). Obviously this doesn't deal with that at all, so we're left bewildered as to what's going on. Really, Frogboy said that 1.1 would more or less be the point where the responsibility and opportunity was handed over to Pax (heavily paraphrased), but now it seems that Pax is having a significant say in its development. I'm not saying the result will

Warning! PBEM plug above. I've had computer players pursue diplomatic victories.

Perhaps flaws was a poorly chosen word. I should have said "shortcomings". Personally I agree with you, and I also think that a short GOOD singleplayer experience is far better than a long boring one (ie - length is not the only factor). All I'm saying is, people have a right to complain about it. It's a fair assessment that the single player is short. If you're looking for a long (or even medium length), good single player experience, this is not the game for you. Clearly the

I've seen plenty of reviews with critique I agree with. I think http://arstechnica.com/gaming/reviews/2010/11/call-of-duty-black-ops-pc-review-fun-game-with-a-broken-leg.ars gave the best view of the game.

If you mean "can we ask about games here, while also doing other things related to pc gaming?" then yes.

One.

I don't think either analogy has any relevance to black ops having a short singleplayer campaign. I don't see why you have to argue by analogy at all, those kinds of comparisons will always fall short.

Oooh, shinies and contests! And the fame!

People buy computer games for their own reasons. They have every right to complain about flaws in products. And the companies have every right to ignore those complaints and focus the game elsewhere. Not every game is made for every player. Personally I think complaints are just as important to read as reading a feature list of the game. That way, I can find out if the game actually matches something I want to play. Consumers vote with wallets. If you don't like it, do

I find your criticism extremely accurate. In particular, I agree with the part where you list the flaws of the Elemental game. I have to say, that everything else sounds more like a rant, though. You might want to consider reformatting them. I, for one, welcome posts such as this that actually try to discuss issues with the game instead of just screaming an opinion at the top of their lungs.

That's a stupid thing to say. I think you will find yourself very unhappy when steam has a monopoly, because monopolies have a profit maximization that increases prices for consumers.

In fantasy settings, EVERYTHING is a quest area though. Hell, they even put quests for using basic transportation (deeprun tram, anyone?).

Retailers are every bit as much bullies as Steam is, though. So those complaints are very hollow to me. Retailers are probably losing a lot of sales to Steam, and they want to limit their competition. It's just a struggle for power from their end - they want more, so does steam. The question should always be - what is best for the customer? And who is the customer? Anything else is just corporate tug-of-war, and completely uninteresting to me as a consumer. At this point, if y

With a card old like that, you're better off getting a single new one than trying to run SLI.

What do you want to achieve? a ) When an NPC is recruited, he shares his spellbook with you and you can now research the spells in it. b ) An NPC has unique spells available to him that noone else has.

I have had problems with 2 out of 3 lg screens. The last one has worked flawlessly for about 2 years, the others both had problems at delivery.

It is pointless to argue about possibilities. Maybe it's unpolished, maybe it's not. You'll find out soon enough. Just be aware that both extremes are possible.

No, there's no way to change how minor factions work per se. These will not be monster lairs, their actions will be guided by an AI and if there's a dangerous dragon horde defending a tower, they'll probably preemptively invade you. However... it should be possible to have a mini-dragon faction defending a spire. I like it.
