[quote who="inphobia" reply="14" id="3123717"] Low materials are easier to fix with lots of improvents and your population bonus, low food is very hard to fix. [/quote] I tend to agree with Inphobia here. More food tends to be more important than more materials, especially for your first city or two. I have, on occasion, (for later settlements) settled for a city-site that only added up to 7 total (such
Paraphrasing the Original Poster (OP): Humility -- One, or Two, or Many Cities ?? Here's One View: I have played three complete games on a small map. (I have begun three other games that I either couldn't complete (too many crashes) or was un-inspired to complete.) I have routinely founded three cities early, and usually a couple more (sm

I had been a "fence-sitter" for a long time prior; but fortunately, I finally

[quote who="Tvazpolarvyn" reply="2" id="3117187"] Let me start by saying that I am a big fan of this genre, but ultimately decided not to purchase E:WoM due to the reviews and comments posted by the gaming community at large. Based on what I have read and seen so far, Fallen Enchantress is truly shaping up to be the game that I had hoped E:WoM was going to be. My plan was to wait until development completed, reviews came out, and then reevaluate if this title deserved a purchase. Plan
Of course, it is probably best to preserve the choices. But if memory usage becomes a bigger issue in the months ahead (in other words, total memory required keeps getting bigger, because more features are added or enhanced), then I would suggest that turning outlines off should be the default. Personally, I think it looks just as good with the outlines off.
[quote who="Gandhialf" reply="129" id="3102644"]Question: Quoting Heavenfall, reply 127 If the game was a five-dimensional portal, and one end was the sound of summer, and the other end was the colour of dreams, in what manner of time units would you describe the current state of the beta, mutatis mutandis? Answer: 42. [/quote] [e digicons]:rofl:
[quote who="LNQ" reply="4" id="3115357"] This intro does kind of make me feel like the Sovereigns are somewhat weaker in the game than they are in the intro. In the game they're just a hybrid of a pioneer and a hero, as we've stripped them from all the special stuff they had in WoM. [/quote] Interesting Observation! ... Can't really say that I would argue with it either. However, on balance, I still like the Intro video
[quote who="StevenAus" reply="5" id="3107048"] Have you turned off the particle effects? Apparently there is a bug Frogboy found that causes all of them to run all the time.

[quote who="geosch" reply="7" id="3107518"] Winnihym, I'm with you. I think stability should be the primary focus of the developers, and so do others. A significant portion of the surveyed voted for this, and I would imagine the beta testers are more computer aware and hardware endowed then the general gaming populace. The point being that FE would have major stability complaints in the market
[quote who="James009D" reply="17" id="3112989"] ... Regarding remaking MOOII, there is never a reason not to remake a classic game. Sure, we can always go back and enjoy the original but there is always a market for remakes. ... However, many remakes have been historic classics and the optimum experience of that series. For example, Civilization II was better then I and I think most people would agree the Civ IV (

[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="8" id="3112355"]Some interesting info, but I'd love to see the questions asked in the survey to be an even better swath of questions. It's mostly demographic info and buying trends. I'd love to see stuff about ideas/suggestions, ways to improve the existing survey, other technologies Stardock should be exploring, etc. Stardock has some pretty savvy tech users- crowd-source them and ask them though/difficult/interesting questions.

I wouldn't buy Win 8 in October, 2012, even if I could get it at half price! In fact, I wouldn't buy Win 8 any time in calendar year 2012. Talk about your Nightmare Scenarios ! ... (Okay.

With all due respect, Alstein, I think your observations and reasoning (Reply #37 above) are mostly incorrect.

[/quote] The #1 thing holding us back on having "more" stuff is money. We've been optimizing money a lot in the past month so that we can stuff more but it sure would be nice to have even another 500 bucks to play with. [/quote] I'm with Feelotraveller (Reply #7 above).

[quote who="Anesthesiac" reply="3" id="3107292"] Playing with the grid off is well and good, but when you are trying to plan out future locations of units based on how many moves they have, this isn't really going to be an option...

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="33" id="3106449"] I'm not a fan of adding a hundred little things like custom buildings, equipment, and spells to every faction. It seems unnecessary and a drain on resources. Rather 3-4 large things should be added and they should make a difference in their own right. It just seems to me that all these items will be a huge drain on memory. [/quote] Amen ! <span style="font-size: sm
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="40" id="3101548"] If the goal is to make the tactical battles so basic that they don't affect the outcome vs. automatically resolving, don't include them. I would much rather deal with Civ style auto resolve as the only option, than knowing there is this 'tactical' system tacked on for no other reason than to inc
I voted for the Developers to expend more effort on Performance. As one of the poor folk who is still stuck with XP (and likely to remain so for the foreseeable future) I have a vested interest in hoping that you will make a big effort to program Fallen Enchantress to run smoothly and quickly (or at least as quickly as possible) on the more primitive platform. However, I think the point is pretty valid overall. Once you sell FE to all the p
