[quote who="Strand" reply="20" id="2386425"] I have a copy of Windows XP, and I imagine that in 5 years I could install it again if I wanted to. [/quote] You would imagine so wouldn't you? Unfortunately if you install it 3 or more times you'll have to call Microsoft because it won't "activate" over the internet anymore. They may tell you you've activated it too many times and you need a buy a new copy. It almost happened to me with a guy on the phone. I got really pissed of

[quote who="Lord Cobol" reply="10" id="2385948"] Otherwise will cheat-load like a maniac, and I may anyway [/quote] hehe Nice. Hey, at least you admit it brother. Same here too until I at least get the basics down on what I'm doing in the full game. I like having the Sovereign on the map. I also don't see a problem having him as powerful as he is. He should be. I don't think anyone has anything to worry about when it comes to "balance" issues at later stages of developme

[quote who="Scorpiana" reply="16" id="2386173"] Whats your problem with Vista x64? Well, for one thing, it's too expensive for what it adds in my opinion. There isn't anything in Vista / 7 that makes me say 'Wow, now THAT's something I want...' So, why should I upgrade if XP64 works perfectly well? [/quote] Sadly, m'lady, that's what Microsploodge does. They make a new version and upgrade and then they tell their old customers they have to "upgrade" too beca

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="3" id="2386302"] It'd be really neat to be a kingdom faction with strong Life magic and try to 'do the Fallen right.' Bet that'd piss some empire folks off but good...

"volcano spell, what we've seen in the in-game movie?" Where? I haven't seen that yet. :)

I like the sound of "Super Enemies". [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

No offense taken, GW Swicord, no worries. It's just a idea brother. I figure if enough people like one of the ideas then Stardock will take a serious look at it. Also to the contrary, if enough people say "Hey, no, I don't like that." I'm cool with that too. In the end the Game itself will benefit from having what the players want in it. It's a Win/Win situation [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] <span sty

[quote who="scottrycroft" reply="1" id="2385754"]I'm surprised you've gotten loading to work at all, as the devs have said it won't be in till next update. Starting a new game is the same issue. I think it has something to do with unloading a previously loaded world. [/quote] I'm not "loading" anything my friend. I mean when the game loads the stage. When it's "building" it. I can finish a game, maybe two, but eventually when creating a new game the map

That would be a cool feature. Floating cities perhaps? I'm still hoping for Flying Citadels.

Haven't seen that one yet. I have to ask the obvious question...Are your graphics drivers for your card up to date? I'm sure you thought about that already, always safe to check though.

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="13" id="2385591"]Whats your problem with Vista x64? [/quote] I didn't like a lot of the changes brought with Vista, just personal preference really. As for being more stable I don't know about that. I play a Lot of new games as they come out and many of them seem to have problems running on Vista. I don't hear good things about it, and when I built this system a year ago even though I could have went with Vista and used Directx10 with my graphics

Yeap I get that sometimes. I called it the "Grey World" Bug in my report.

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="11" id="2385552"] XP64 has little or no support at all. Drivers are sketchy at best. It has serious compatibility problems also. Vista x64 is the way to go, or windows 7 in the future. [/quote] Pro 64 isn't "Quite" that bad my friend [e digicons]:P[/e] For a Windows OS I find it pretty stable and powerful. The Drivers, particularly those NVidia Drivers running my graphics card are far, Far, from sketchy. I've really never h

I load and start a game, get a Victory, and start a new game and on the map load for the beginning of the next game I get a Grey World. The UI is there and visible as normal but the entire world map and everything on it is flat Grey. It happens after a defeat and I start a new game too. It doesn't happen all the time either, only sometimes. DxDiag: http://pastebin.com/m400b9545 DeBug.err : http

Did you know: You can stack units into bigger armies by holding shift and clicking to move a unit into a stack with another unit. Separating them is as easy as clicking a little arrow over the unit picture on the lower left where they are grouped for selecting. And now you know....and knowing is half the battle [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

I'm running XP Pro 64 and all seems pretty well here too. So a game that's going to take so much advantage of multi-core processing and 64 bit operating systems won't come with XP Pro 64 support? I'm rather shocked and dismayed now...

[quote who="arunodayt" reply="12" id="2385463"] Quoting Raven X, reply 11 I was thinking more specifically from MoM where you Wizard doesn't die permanently as long as you have a Wizard Tower in a city. If you're defeated in battle your Wizard retreats to his next Wizard Tower via spell until all his cities with Wizard Towers are destroyed. This is exactly what happens in AoW2 as well - as long as you have a city with a wizard tower left, your "wiz

I see what you're saying Demiansky and it will have it uses that's for sure. It is a good idea, I just don't want to see the minor cities get lost to all PC control. As you state we won't be raising armies from cities that manufacture armor and weapons. They just make the goods then ship them off to the city with the barracks and high population. They initiate the drafting and conscript the units. This is why guarding your caravans in Elemental will be so important. I think implementi

Thanks for the history of the debate, GW Swicord. I speed read most of the thread and though it is similar in some posts, it's still not quite what this thread is in as far as Topic. I was thinking more specifically from MoM where your Wizard doesn't die permanently as long as you have a Wizard Tower in a city. If you're defeated in battle your Wizard retreats to his next Wizard Tower via spell until all his cities with Wizard Towers are destroyed. Maybe it's because I grew up on the
