[quote who="rlane48" reply="114" id="3275070"] I've been making larger random maps -- I added a "huge" and an "epic" map size and have been playing some games on them to test them out. If you want me to provide the xml I can do so -- not sure if it's cool to cut and paste it or what. I also add a couple gold mines on the map... not enough to go around, but they should be fun to find. [/quote] I'd love to try them out. Do they ba

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="106" id="3274997"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 91People who bought WOM before the end of October 2010 get the upcoming expansion pack to FE for free as well. I'm confused. When E:wom was deemed a failure, you said early adopters would be getting two expansions for free. Fallen enchantress and the next expansion. Are you saying we get the expansion to FE as well, or are you saying that

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="50" id="3274193"] Quoting Cruxador, reply 19When you say this map is gigantic, how big are we talking? Also, are larger sizes for randomly generated maps a thing that can happen? I'm not sure how big it is exactly. But it's bigger than any map I've ever seen in WOM or FE. If you don't have a 64-bit system, it might be tricky. I've been trying to find ways to shave down texture sizes and other tricks t

About the OP map image: Is that the current size of the large maps (tile width and height) when using the random map generator?

Thanks for confirming that. Also, the image in the OP serves to reinforce something I've discovered while playing: the cloth map is absolutely beautiful! Nice job!! I set the zoom level on it pretty low so I can play cloth map most of the time, and o

[quote who="tkobo" reply="88" id="3274845"] Quoting charon2112, reply 75 You got a free game (and should also be getting the second major expansion free too). But you aren't entitled to get everything Stardock makes for free for the rest of your life. I didnt get a free game, i paid for one game and got another.Theres a very big difference there.However i wasnt aware of the second part of what youve said...."and should also be getti

[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="85" id="3274803"] Quoting charon2112, reply 82 ...But it should most definitely not ever detract from the SP experience. Frogboy said it best here: https://forums.galciv2.com/98074 Most, if not all, of us agree the great thypical singleplayer features should stay also in multiplayer. An example is of course the unit designer. Games like FE don't atract those who want 10-30 mi

Please please, kind Froggie. I'll buy two of 'em if don't do any MP! Yes, because the game allowing us to play with our friends would inconvenience you Wizaerd.

[quote who="tkobo" reply="55" id="3274317"]Hmmm, missed the part about how this has a $5 cost....Not sure about that. Theres the well,its only $5 angle,and yes thats almost an inconsequential amount......BUT then theres that i essentially bought this game like 2 years ago under its first incarnation,and it was so broken you told me id get the next incarnation for free if i hung in there (paraphrased)....and now here we are and your asking me for $5 for "official "

[quote who="NanakoAC" reply="7" id="3273903"] omg, haha does anyone actualyl still play strategy games like that? the thought seems abhorrently slow. imo it would be a complete waste of effort these days [/quote] That's the point. A game like FE or any TBS should be played slow.

Thanks again for making the pdf's, Kestral. [e digicons]:blush:[/e]

Well, you've got my five bucks. :)

Thanks again...! One more tiny request, could you make 'lite' versions of these also? Thanks!

[quote who="bbr91" reply="117" id="3271333"] But I prefer the approach you took with GalCiv 2: lots of patches packed with stuff and some huge expansions, which were both very successful. But I guess we'll see...[/quote] I agree with this. I'm all for supporting Stardock, but I'd hate to see SD go down the road that the major developers and publishers have of releasing a few pieces of content every few weeks and charging $5 for it. I'd rather

[quote who="Kantok" reply="114" id="3271231"] Quoting charon2112, reply 110Forgive my ignorance, but what's a stamp? Stamps are pre-designed chunks of a map. Think of the Wildlands. The random map generator uses stamps to build the random map. So more stamps means you have more possible combinations for your random maps. [/quote] THAT I would support! Thanks for clearing that up.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's a stamp?

I'd be open to DLC that expanded factions, etc...but not maps. Part of the fun for me with a TBS 4X is the randomly generated map. Different every time. :)
