Is the map pack DLC the same one that was released several months ago?

Are the character quotes back? It looks like it in those screens. I missed them when they were removed. [quote who="michaeloliva" reply="143" id="3317944"]I just want to make it very clear that while reading these comments makes it seem like every hates Steam and is upset about this move, this is very much NOT the case. I know among a number of my friends will pretty much exclusively buy our games on Steam or get Steamworks games that activate there because

[quote who="crimsongekko" reply="23" id="3289807"]is there a "recommended" number of civs for the Anthys map? the default 6 for large maps is obviously not enough. I guess 10/12 would be better.[/quote] I put 11 opponents in my current game. Two hours in and I haven't met any yet.

Can anyone confirm if the Anthys map has randomly placed factions, monster lairs, heroes, and resources. Or is everything locked in?

[quote who="TheVenge" reply="200" id="3284239"]I'm not convinced that "multiplayers" are in a vast minority when you factor in how long players who play it to share with friends will continue playing the game. [/quote] I completely disagree, in fact I believe the opposite is true. The long time players of TB strategy games aren't the MP players. They'll get bored and be onto the next hot MP game in short order. The people who will be playing FE for y

[quote who="MisterAedan" reply="211" id="3283996"]Hi Rej_Draeger, I'm in a similar position to you in that I'm a GalCiv II fan without much time for playing lots of games; I also came to FE without having played or even really having heard of War of Magic. I pre-ordered during the Beta after being impressed by what I saw on the forums. Firstly, if you enjoyed Twilight of the Arnor then Fallen Enchantress feels more "finished" than TA did on release. I'm thinking mainly

Any ETA on the map pack?

[quote who="Ambermonk" reply="6" id="3282353"]I can live with the '10' options, but I'd like to see more variety in the 10 options - and this wouldn't take up any more memory.[/quote] Agreed. This is kind of what I mean, if you're going to have ten capes, make them look like ten very different capes. Think about all the different ship components in GC2. Each race had their own style, you could make so many different combinations. &n

[/quote] good god. can't we just celebrate the few good times that were had back then. i know there weren't many, but let's look at the good stuff on this day and not focus on the unpleasantness.

You too Brad. And everyone at SD also. Have some quality turkey time with the family. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

I printed all of the materials using a two-page per page printing format in adobe, then had them bound at Staples into one big book...it's pretty cool. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I don't have an iPad or a smartphone or anything like that. I'm in no rush, I like paper for my reading.

Dated visuals? God I hate mainstream reviews. The visual choice is deliberate, and quite beautiful.

If you have slightly more soldiers they'll jump in bed with you, but as soon as they get 1 more soldier than you have, they'll stick a knife in you.[/quote] I'm not sure if that's accurate. There seems to be a lot of fine detail in the relationship between you and other factions. In my games, there's usually ten or twenty different pluses or minuses de

One of the few things that bug me about FE is when designing sovs and units, there aren't many options. You have basically ten pairs of pants that look almost exactly the same, ten capes that are the same, ten robes that are the same. With faces, you get maybe six pre-made ones, and you can change the eyes, but not much depth. This has been the same wince WoM, and I kind of hoped it would be improved in FE. Are there any plans at all to add some depth to the charac

[quote who="Ragnin" reply="14" id="3280657"]Turns out the problem is that there is a bug that causes the game to treat all user made maps as "Tiny" maps, or so I've been told and that appears to be what is going on. So the work around for this is to change the minimum city distance for Tiny maps and that will affect your huge maps, I've tried this out and it works. This of course means editing the ElementalDefs.xml. But that was pretty easy and was only a single

If you bought it within 30 days, it would be nice if they offered a re-reimbursement of the difference. No more or less than you'd get in a retail store on another type of product.

I must just be an old fogey, but I love a good printed manual. *sigh*

I don't have this experience. I actually love the diplomacy in FE.

Hypothetically, if these were offered would you pay? I certainly would. If they were offered in one big nicely printed paperback tome, it would be fantastic. I'd pay ten bucks for that (black and white, maybe $15 in color). Is there interest in this?

Doesn't mean it can't get better as I'm sure it will since Galactic Civilization 2 is my favorite 4x space game of all times .. FE is only average to those who consider it average. I consider it far better than average, and even in it's present s

[quote who="seanw3" reply="32" id="3281231"]Yes For instance, all weapons stay useful throughout the game. The worst thing about tactical battles is that each new weapon is so superior in every way. In my mod, Werewindle and I have made sure each early game weapon stays useful. The result is that early game weapons have special abilities that make them competent for large units in big armies. And then there is the fact that I have about 20 D&D style classes instead of 3. Just r
