That doesn't mean the drivers you are using were made past 2005. :) Which video card and driver version are you using?

Good read, and I thought the same thing about the good land thing and the mana accumulation. I just started another game and immediately got the worst imaginable scenario: My sov started on a small peninsula; just enough to create a first city if I really want to. Buuuuuut, the choke-point is nearly blocked by a Drake Army and something else with 100+ hp. All surrounding land beyond this peninsula was desert or swamp. Not a good first experienc

I dislike. I think the current configuration accurately displays a society's immediate shock when moving from 0% taxes to being taxed.

It's pretty simple, WinXP users: when MS is dropping most support for your OS, AND your OS is a decade old, it's time to upgrade (or dual boot for the majorly obsessive) if you can't find Win7 for less than $200 (legally), typically you're doing it wrong

[quote who="Gammit10" reply="447" id="3101451"]Just got back into Elemental after discovering the awesomeness that is FE. Will definitely have to try this mod. Thanks, Heavenfall![/quote] Holy crap. I officially love this mod. Left my wife and family for it. Please return my phone calls.

[quote who="Leo in WI" reply="7" id="3108617"]According to this, it is not Bioware, but a former Bioware employee. Whether this is truth, rumor, or a mix, I suppose that is still anyone's guess. http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/63825/New-Baldur-s-Gate-Game-In-Development-Teaser-Site-Live [/quote] That's what I gathered too. My guess is a HD remake.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="97" id="3107108"] Quoting Gammit10, reply 94 Because I am such a visual person, I would most prefer to see the faction differentiation. To alter the cities or surrounding land for each faction would be awesome. While the kingdom versus empire land and building differences are already a start, I would ideally like to see some differentiation in the city's buildings. You're going to

Right now, if you turn on anti-aliasing, it does it to everything and you get a massive FPS hit. But 90% of things don't need to be antialiased (a lot of things have anti-aliasing basked into their texture). As for perf, turn off the particle effects for now.

[quote who="Nathikal" reply="50" id="3106542"]I feel the greatest differentiation comes from the domains. Each sovereign, each faction, has its own views on what the land should look like. Not all of the empires would want to make the world a blackened wasteland, not every kingdom a land of ponies and rainbows. Let some factions spread icy tundras, horizon-spanning deserts, cover the world in trees, create vast swamps, sweeping plains, chaotic nightmares, etc. The domains can be purely cosmet

[quote who="seanw3" reply="5" id="3105327"]This kind of function is better suited to a citylevelup building at level 5. I have the apothecary set up to sell the injury healing potion. A great little reward for larger cities.[/quote] Must steal this idea.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="12" id="3104965"] Quoting Gammit10, reply 11I would love to get that far into a game, but thus far it keeps crashing. I couldn't find any crash reports from you. While we do get a lot of data automatically, it would be helpful if you posted some crash info (OS, video card, etc.).[/quote] I have sent in at least two debugs for FE. What typically happens is that the game hangs and then Win 7 automatically kills it. The o

The main portion with which I agree is the injury feature in FE. There needs to be a better way to heal these injuries.

My Toshiba has been trouble free for nearly 2 years. This one's an option: http://www.mpx.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=645748#extra Similiar specs to the ASUS I linked to earlier.

Are injuries a FE-only feature?

This drove me insane in WoM. If I begin a game and scroll directly up (towards the top of my monitor), expecting to move North in the map. Yet according to the mini map, it looks like I'm moving North West. This confuses me greatly.

The major bugs will probably get ironed out among the programmers, QA, and crash logs. After that, the community will likely find the little ones on their own.

[quote who="Napean" reply="2" id="3103934"]I run Windows 7 Home 64 bit. Runs fine. Occasional crash, but it is a beta.[/quote] Ditto. The extra RAM is great for games that can grow in complexity over time, like FE.

In general, commanding a small group is easy, while organizing 30+ is like herding cats. I think the research is in leadership/management skills.
