This all would mean something IF the AI could WIN with it. But, with all those perks and handicaps the AI is still piss poor. I have no problem with all the handicaps it gets. I just wish it could WIN with them. I can defeat it's numbers. I can defeat it's strength. There's nothing fun about it. It's just a waste of time game. One of those games with an inevitable end just a matter of "time" when. I haven't seen a game with an ai that tries to win si

Game 1: trash Game 2; Mostly refurbished trash Game 3: reverting back to trash. Sometimes yah just can't get away from the original trash. ;)

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="4" id="3543974"] Fun fact: there is a amazonian female-only faction for Children of Storm that was never released. [/quote] See it wasn't worth the trouble just like most females. ;)

Women belong in the kitchen and the bedroom, no place on the battlefield for a woman they will just break down and cry. ;)

beware of mod sites that require you to register before downloading a mod. They are just trying to build numbers up to get advertisers. More scams to make money.

Modders are freeloaders that use DEVELOPERS design and tools to modify a game.

Graphic modders are another thing and I have no qualm with them. But, those that change number around and core things that are possible to change I will always be leary of and so should everyone else.

Methinks he brags a lot while pressing that "RELOAD" key. :) Highest difficulty "easy" Just uses Heroe hardly any units. lol I find that hard to believe. I smell braggart without the real proof of victory. TALKS a nice STORY of winning though. They got one of those types on the AOW III forum. Tells about how he COULD have beat 7 emperor level AI's but never finished one game because he told a STORY about how he would have defeated them had he kept on playing. lol I love these "you know yo

FE/LH has more of a feeling of an RPG strategy game to me whereas AOWIII and really all the rest in its series feels like I am playing a chessmatch with fantasy figures. For me when I play a fantasy game I want to feel like I'm roleplaying as well. I like adventure in a fantasy game not a checkers or chess match. Besides if I was going to play a chessmatch fantasy game I'd play HOMM II or III or V or VI. I enjoy that much better than AOW series.

It's their game. Leave them the option. It wouldn't be your choice, and it wouldn't be mine, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have the option to play a game balanced in their favor, in any respect. Or against them, as we

[quote who="geniusisme" reply="27" id="3466070"] Ok, then why do i encounter games with fun balanced magic? And, suddenly, these games support multiplayer.[/quote] Because "muliplayer" type players would say that because they want everything frickin balanced. You encounter it because most games since MOM have been balanced for multiplayer. Thus, you got what you wanted but sadly only about 2% of players really play multiplayer so it's important NOT to have mul

Sooner or later you're going to finally see what games like these are for. I'm surprised you haven't by now. But, some of you may be new to computer gaming so you wouldn't see it so early. These games are not made to beat you they are merely made to consume your time and try to get some enjoyment out of your humdrum lives. You sit there thinking the ai is going to challenge you and beat you but it's not programmed that way. It's just programmed to get in

As long as the game is harder and the AI CAN WIN I'm all for it. Make it horribly harder I won't mind. I'm sic n tired of these easy games at highest difficulties. I want a CHALLENGE GOTDAMWIT. I love games where the AI wins. Centurion:Defender of Rome is one of the best AI games I ever played. Above normal it was horrendously hard and I enjoyed every moment of getting stomped. ;) Spartan v 1.013 by Slitherine is another that is horrendously hard above Hard difficulty and Im

[quote quoting="post"]Brad, I've been harsh to you in the past, but I'm "on your side" now. I want the game to deliver and I want Stardock to get merit for it. But it's not there yet, and something you said in another discussion made me decide to post this. You said you wanted a 90+ score for FE. You said there's no release date. Yet you're not ready to dramatically "overhaul" mechanics at this point. Which makes sense, I get it, even from a financial perspectiv

Sooooooooooo glad there is no multiplayer as that means ALL of the resources goto the MAJORITY of US and not the 1-2% that play mp once and then go on to something else. This is WONDERFUL news. I got soooooooooo tired of the MPers helping to ruin the single player game of Age of Wonders:Shadowmagic which is now just a POS game nobody plays. Got soooooooooooo tired of balance balance balance from the MP crowd. Now, this game doesn't have to be balanced and in fact that is what made Master

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="11" id="3058153"] Quoting srw46, reply 10 I sincerely do not understand where the fallacy that MP is not in demand or important has birthed from other than a few empty vessels in the community who declare loudly, selfishly and repeatedly that *they* aren't interested but I assure you Stardock that your demographic is. This is straight up a lie. Stardock's own numbers, and numbers from other games, show that t

It's real simple to thwart this, just don't GRUNT RUSH stupid. Very simple to make one easy house rule. Don't attack anybody for 100 turns or an amount of turns deemed fair to the ai to give it an opportunity to grow.

Yes keep on fooling yourselves that it's not cheating, keep on showing your low IQ's lmao. Implementing anything from AI WARS would be a big mistake....fact and period. ;) But, then again why am I even discussing this with the likes of this bunch? Lmao I know Brad will not introduce anything as stupid as the AI WARS mechanics to THIS game.

[quote] However, a couple of spells, namely arcane arrow and spell blast are still overpowered. Even with the slight nerf in 1.09r I was able to blast through an entire army defending an enemy capital in one turn near the beginning of the game. I had four spell casters, my sov plus three others capable of arcane arrow but not spell blast. Also had four meat sheilds but never needed them. I opened the battle. By the end of my turn enemy sov and half the opposing army was dead t

Well if anything you showed how some things are just too overpowered. That sword needs some serious nerfing. Spells too as they shouldn't inflict such damage until the character is at near max levels. On the other hand the AI's should get these bonuses and gear as the difficulty level is raised. Playing hard they should have them and good hit points and powerful spells earlier than the human player. On extreme difficulty even worse. There should be FEAR if you play higher difficulty levels an
