But FE is really a whole new game, so improving a problem in FE doesn't fix the problem in WoM. I'd still like to see WoM fixed, not just forgotten for FE. [quote who="Heavenfall" reply="4" id="2939006"]I seem to recall Frogboy saying this blandness was "by design", and that it was a mistake, and that they would have a different approach in FE which is more content-driven.[/quote]
The real question is...is Cari_Elf super cute? :)
This is cool. I wish I had thought of it. [quote quoting="post"] A big congrats goes out to xmorg who has won the Fallen Enchantress “Design a Trait” contest! His trait, Outlaw Connections, took the top spot! “The Hero has spent some time with the lawless and knows a little about how to communicate with bandits.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="46" id="2915681"] Are the maps and terrain randomly generated? Yes. Unlike War of Magic, the continents are generated on the fly.[/quote] cool! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
Are the maps and terrain randomly generated? It sounds like FE is getting even farther away from being a empire building, 4X game; instead focusing more on the RPG aspects. IMO this is a mistake. I have yet to hear grand design decisions that put Elemental on par (strategy game wise) with Galciv2.

My question is: Once FE comes out, what reason is there to ever play WoM again?
There are many aspects to the landscape (including rivers) that could be changed or added to greatly improve the city planning and Civilization building aspects of the game. It's the thing that I think needs to be fixed the most, and it's being discussed by the devs the least...
I didn't bad-mouth your system...in fact I specifically said mine was much worse. When I said something's wrong, I meant with the game.

Something's wrong here for sure. My PC pales in comparison to yours and runs EWoM flawlessly. [quote quoting="post"] Because frankly, it runs pretty poorly. The game slows down so quickly as to become very unplayable in a short period of time. This has become a deal-breaker for me and I finally uninstalled it today. From reading the forums, it seems like performance is pretty dire across many systems. My PC has a Windows experience ratin

Stardock games are never "finished" per se. They are constantly being worked on and improved.

what do harbors do exactly? I've never built one...
It's a shame that you have to focus on warfare so much in the beginning just to keep up. I'd like the choice to concentrate more on magic, or improving my cities. But you really can't do that, or you get walked on.
RANDOM EVENTS! YAY!
I long for the old days, circa Civ II. That game came with a huge, inch and a half thick manual that covered every damn thing in the game. Now, Civ V doesn't even have a real manual.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="25" id="2884714"] Quoting Istari, reply 24Well, how did Gary Coleman handle this situation? Btw, Child-Like Empress wants it bad! A name that is. Did you see the conviction and desperation in her tone, expression, and body language when she was pleading with Bastion? The way the scene was cutting back and forth between them makes you look at it quite differently when you watch it as an adult. But boy did she make him say her name.
