[quote who="James009D" reply="3" id="3062308"]Excellent work yet again.[/quote] James, man you must be reading my mind. I saw you posting again and was just thinking, "I should message him and see if he wants in on helping with the new version of Undead Rising.".

This is probably a dumb question but for those of us getting FE for free do we get a hard copy for free or just the digital version? If I need to kick in a few bucks to have a hard copy mailed to me just say so. I was under the impression there wasn't going to be a boxed version of FE and it was digital only. Given the choice I'll always take it backed up on disk.

History is also littered with the saying "The Captain goes down with the ship.". A military captain would have been the last one off that ship, not the first. Of course the need for self preservation would kick in and a military person is trained to go against that, while a comercial industry captain doesn't have that example to go by.

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="108" id="3062278"]Filesonic has now stopped all file sharing. Members can only download their own uploads. Just read it on AOL.[/quote] The Collapse of the Internet has started. Will it stay relatively slow with one or two sites at a time? Legislation hasn't even been passed yet and places are either getting shut down or doing it on their own. This could be a bumpy ride a lot sooner than people think.

Happened in one of my games too but at least it was another Fallen empire using my designs and not the Kingdoms. There are only so many "Top" design combinations so it makes sense the AI would come up with the same thing as the players. It should at least name it something faction specific though and use the correct races.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="1" id="3062160"]There are no toes to step on as far as I am concerned. I'd rather work together and use each other's assets instead of marking territory.[/quote] Indeed brother :) I don't know if I'd go as far to call it mine. Your undead had a much better unit selection than mine.

I'm planning on doing some re-skins for FE and finishing off the re-skin of the various races I didn't get to in Elemental. I'm sure those of you who used Mods in Elemental probably remember my skin packs and the Undead Rising series the Dragonlance Team and I did. If you weren't around then, here's some pictures so you get the idea. Zombie Skin for units in the Undead "Ravenloft" faction from Undead Rising. <img src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums

Watched it yesterday and it was good. [quote who="WhiteElk" reply="3" id="3060433"] Is a shame about Andy Whitfield. So far I think the new guy has filled the role well. Is hard to initially make the transition. But I think it won't take more than a couple episodes.[/quote] Indeed. Andy was a gifted actor and if not for him I don't think the series would be as popular as it is. The new guy I thought fit the bill. By the end of the

I rather liked the old mechanic from MoM. A Hero dies and you have to resurrect them, and it should actually have a cost to it that's variant on how powerful the hero is. The more powerful the hero the more it should cost to bring them back. Now the player is forced to play strategically to not loose their heroes and have something to loose if they die.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="3" id="3061711"]Guys, keep in mind, it is my belief that they probably said mods were off for a reason. Please do not submit crash reports or bug reports from any game with any mods in it, even if they appear to be caused by vanilla. Because that's really the only reason I can think that they did what they did.[/quote] Yeap, I was thinking the same thing. That and they probably plan on making more changes, adding more content, etc etc.

[quote who="kryo" reply="101" id="3061881"] No, it isn't. People will always find a way to lie, cheat, and steal if they're so inclined. If this is impacting one's ability to get paid for his work, then he's within his rights to do what he feels necessary to prevent it within existing constraints of the law. But that right starts and ends with your product and those who come in contact with it. The government does not need more power. Nor do content creat

[quote who="Mtrixis" reply="23" id="3061834"]Get rid of it entirely, waste of time. Unless there's a gameplay element to placing city tiles (which I doubt I'd want to deal with, given the number of cities you potentially have to manage), it currently serves no useful purpose. There are also some stupid, exploitish behaviors with city spread right now, as units can travel through an entire lengthy city in one turn (but not if the city is full, and cities can engulf resources

I've always been of the belief that if someone is going to steal something then they never planned on paying for it anyway, especially where games and mp3's and such is concerned. Why? Because I doubt most people steal because they like to. Also, when talking about pirated video games, they never have multiplayer functionality. Yet another point more particular with video games, the people/kids stealing them online are mostly doing it because they don't have the Money to pay for t

This sounds like a great idea honestly. Wizard Towers were a big deal in MoM and I can see that for the inspiration for them here and to definitely help with City Specialization.

Some of us around Stardockia were hot for NotMoM back when there was some hope that whoever bought the name rights from Microprose would cut a clean deal for a sequel. My memory isn't that good for dates, but I think that phase was maybe a year or more before the game even had a street name. Then there was the long phas

I was going to make a post in the FE Mod section of the forums about my upcoming plans for Mods for FE, but there isn't a Mod section for FE....yet. I know modding isn't "officially" in FE yet, but having a forums section to talk about it and our plans would be very cool. *nudgenudgewinkwink*

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="16" id="3061109"]Personally I'd prefer to see it all go away and just have the game place the city.

I think "Janusk" is the only "ranking" score put in for the Beta. I haven't seen any other ranking and last night I finished a game with a massive win total. Great post btw my friend. :)
