[quote who="_Scooter_" reply="8" id="2705753"]I don't think we should allow ranged units to move and shoot in the same turn; that kind of kiting will make it very hard to balance ranged units. The exception would be if we had some short range javelin or slinger skirmisher type units. Peltasts, Velites, that sort of thing. [/quote] I could go with that. If we limit ranged units to not being able to move and shoot in the same turn then them having a decent starting loca

Back in the day I LOVED the original "Syndicate". After X-Com it was my favorite squad based combat game. It seems there's either a reboot or a sequel in the works. Check out this info I found on GameSpot Here . As long as they don't f'k it up we could be in for some old school tactical goodness. Here's hoping.

P.S. Hey Brad, you didn't forget to give Morgan my phone number did you? hehe

[quote who="_Scooter_" reply="6" id="2705733"]I strongly support a deployment phase. It should be possible at least to make a Sov into a Sauron-like mêlée-monster - who you would certainly want in the front row. [/quote] Indeed. Doing that with a Sov is possible now more or less. I too really want a Deployment Phase. I can think of plenty of situations where I might want Archers up front only to move them to the rear after they fire a salvo or two, or reverse s

[quote who="Onklifiziert" reply="15" id="2705675"]My favorite Song at the Moment from my favorite Band "Blind Guardian" (A German Speed / Power Metal Band). The Song is from their new Album "At The Edge Of Time". [/quote] Good stuff. I've heard some good stuff come from Blind Guardian". I don't know who their lead guitar dude is but he f'kin jams. [quote who="vieuxchat" reply="16" id="2705713"]Trivium - into the mouth of hell we march, good to start a modding session ^___

Great Stuff. I still think we're going to see the "Customize Faction" UI come back that we had a few Beta's ago only it will be in the Tools Section. I guess we'll see. If it doesn't come back then I'm sure this will be very useful for some people. :) Good Work.

Sweeeeeet :) Can't freaking wait!!!

Not sure why I didn't notice before, but it looks like the OP's spell checker turned every instance of the word "Faction" into "Fraction". hehe kinda funny. Still helpful post though :)

[quote who="B G P Hughes" reply="3" id="2699729"]As luck would have it, the OP has posted most of what I would have posted, but in the continuing theme of constructive solutions, here's the priority of improvements I'd see for tactical combat: 1. Don't start in striking range. 2. By default put sovereigns in the rear rank and implement line of sight for archers, or even better have some ability to set who goes in which rank, even if it isn't a full setup phase. For examp

[quote who="jeffalford" reply="9" id="2705409"]It is possible, Alice in Chains and Primus were the big draw that year! The show was held in the parking lot of the Charlotte Motor Speedway in July, good times with a 4:00 in the morning hangover! I learned that year to run from the Smart Drinks, ground up B12 in a smoothie is not your friend in that situation. I want to say that was 97 it was the Tales From the Punchbowl tour of Primus! It was the Fox station in Charlotte doing the promos.A Per

Find something that has a nice "Old English" or "Gothic" feel to it. I think that would fit nicely. Then (maybe) find one a bit eviler looking and use it for the Empire factions. Might be cool.

[quote who="GCFL" reply="12" id="2705128"]your wife is a gamer? ...turning green with envy now [/quote] Ahh, yeap. She's a gamer. She plays the Sims and Dragon Age and she likes Borderlands and a couple of other games. She likes console games too. The nicest part is having a wife that understands my need to game. Just don't ever let gaming come in between quality time.

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="13" id="2705176"]I will only endorse this game if it is historically accurate. I demand witch burnings and rape. [/quote] If it has Sim Catholicism you'll be guaranteed both!!! LoL

[quote who="Spitz" reply="77" id="2705158"] Quoting _Scooter_, reply 66 But.... what if ninjas assassinate him before then? And all the backup servers he sets up in his will are destroyed by volcanic eruptions? I would like to officially announce that _Scooter_ has won this thread. There's nothing more to see here; move along. [/quote] I wouldn't speak too fast there, Spitz. I mean come on, Volcanoes destroying the ba

Excellent find Jeff!! That kicked ass!!! I've seen Serj twice now in concert. Once was at the second to last "Earthday Birthday" show I went to. Not the one we just had but the one before that. You know, now that I think about it I want to say either "Tool" or "A Perfect Circle" played with them as well so it might have been the same tour you saw. I know some of the core bands on the tour played all over the country that year and the name of the event changed depending on where they were

My wife already wants it...so, I'll be picking it up either way. If it's any good maybe I'll play it too, still too early to tell at this point.

As far as we know there will be multiple versions of the MP game to play. One version will be a full blown game while another will be a wizards duel while yet another will be an "x-com meets myth" hybrid. Length of the game will depend on what game type is being played and how skilled the players in question are.

[quote who="Jafo" reply="10" id="2704527"] Less usable, I agree, that's true from a technical standpoint. That's also from a opinion on a color standpoint. I thought black with white text was the best way to go and I loved the change before now. I don't like this baby poo looking color, which is also my opinion. I thought it looked much better before. Fotunately [unfortunately for you] there are getting on for 4.2 million Stardock members each with a 'preferred' colour
