[quote who="TCores" reply="1" id="2613525"]I do not know whether there will be support for multiple maps in the same game instance. I do know that Frogboy has confirmed there won't be any in the default game. I had the same idea as you and asked whether "no multiple maps" would mean there'd be no suppot for off-map dungeons, but no response yet. This is one of those things modders can't really do if the support isn't there, unfortunately.[/quote]</

Auto resolves are a perfect way to measure that. Again you're demanding a level of accuracy for a simple system to be way higher than necessary. Except when combat falls on t

books. Apparently you need to read some George R.R. Martin.

I looked into it. Already 1billion copies have been preordered. Although to answer your concern, I think it will be pretty easy to find games to play. Impulse reactor is already in this game, so just Shift+tab or whatever to find people to play with.

If the game is constantly running autoresolves behind the scenes during tactical combat it can easily use that information to determine when it's chances of victory become slim.

autoresolve is a fine measure of troop strength. Your demand that the measuring stick be flawless is a bit extreme vincente

Give me more assets for making custom races, (Do our sovereigns have access to these as well?) This is the kind of thing that could even get my wife interested in playing.

[quote who="Raven X" reply="9" id="2604603"]I Very Much like the idea of making our own Races. I love it in fact. This part though bugs me... quoting post So even if you made a race of those Avatar blue guys, when you capture a city from Pariden, the city would remain populated by Men. You would then be able to created a mixed army where they all have their strengths and weaknesses and visually look different. So you could create a true “Last Alliance&r

A second thought I had, with the AI not even remotely fleshed out and the factions being only marginally different right now this may just be biased by how much fun we have designing factions.

How would this change affect the campaign?

[quote who="Naithin" reply="6" id="2602174"]Indeed, been in a few tech alpha's before (for a few of the now older MMOs) so have a fair idea of what to expect in that regard. Call me a masochist, but I can typically garner some fun from that phase. The problem for me is when it's supposedly in a gameplay testing phase, and we're still experiencing such issues.

What's bad about the voice over? This is what's called a teaser, and I think it was just fine. Actually I liked it. Saying something is "horrendous" isn't evidence that it is so. The idea was like these were paintings or illuminations gives it a sense of history as it is a retelling of history a bit. speaking of voiceovers in game intros I'm pretty sure the guy that did the one in demigod was the easter island head on Legends of the hidden temple.

Religion is too controversial IMO, there's a reason it is rarely in videogames.

Given enough time, initiative, and a free or open-source engine that can be used to make a game that can be sold, anyone can. You can even do the work on your own. It'll just take a long time.

People need to post titles with their links.

OMG LOOM! That's one of the first computer games I was really ever able to play.
