[quote who="Manii Names" reply="49" id="3101123"] We also enjoy tabletop strategy games and will play those occasionally for variety, our current favorites are Caylus and Agricola, if you are in the market for a boardgame I can highly recommend both of those.

[quote who="Aerion Istari" reply="47" id="3101094"] ddd888 is not going to concede the point no matter how many, solid rational points we make.

[quote who="ChungasRevenge" reply="36" id="3100478"] I find it suspect when people state, "I was really happy about this game, but no MP so I now no longer care." What is up with that? If it is a great game why wouldn't you play it MP or not?[/quote] because single player is too easy for smart expert players? there is no challenge after a bit, ai can be competitive only cheating, we all know it so single players become borin
[quote who="Aerion Istari" reply="33" id="3100434"] Multi-player is a zero-sum game. That means for every winner, there is a whiner (meaning loser or losers). In single-player, the AI doesn't mind losing. And if some factions are stronger (or weaker) than the others then no one really cares. .[/quote] im sry for you if you are such a bad player i hate winning with ai cause of exploit or unbalanced settings of the game, i
[quote who="seanw3" reply="28" id="3100385"]As a modder, I can't improve MP. That is also a deal breaker. But who knows? Maybe Fb has a plan to allow modding in MP. That would be epic. There was talk of a Dungeon Master element for WoM, had it been a success. I guess success is the key object here.[/quote] yeah but how much a success?
[quote who="C0LDsteel" reply="27" id="3100380"] That's because they don't have to worry about balancing every single faction, spell and item in the game and can instead allow for a more epic experience.[/quote] so your idea of epic single player experience is playing with unbalanced stuff? really? -____- [quote] This will allow them to keep stuff in that would be consider OP in multiplayer.

[quote who="Werewindlefr" reply="23" id="3100309"] The problem isn't people who want MP, it's the people who insult the SP-only side. I don't think anyone here would flame or troll someone for wanting MP,[/quote] ridiculous bs :D ppl insulted the thread opener way before i said anything in fact i only came to defend the guy who was ATTACKED by everyone for no reason, just for wanting mp like half the world does these days &
[quote who="seanw3" reply="21" id="3100257"] I just have trouble finding patient players that are willing to negotiate the finer points of a non-aggression pact or wait for me to do so with another player. You have to have the whole day to play a good role play experience.[/quote] you are right thats why online gaming is not a role playing experience (on average, i had fun with MUDs where i role played, it was very fun and addictive, but was also another

[quote who="Manii Names" reply="14" id="3100085"] Quoting ddd888, reply 7thats totally unacceptable for pro gamers The thing is most of us don't give a rat's hiney about the 'pro gamer' market. There's only a very very small # of those guys in reality, no matter how many people try to market themselves as 'pros'. Who cares if it doesn't appeal to that slice of the user base? Not me.

yeah all the above but i still think pioneers should cost much much more and takes a bit more time the problem is if you lose a pioneer in this game it means nothing at all losing a settler/worker on civ was quite heavy like it should

[quote who="Das123" reply="6" id="3099984"]I enjoy multiplayer games that last a relatively short time like Frozen Synapse or any First Person Shooter. Also enjoy open sandbox games as multiplayer like MineCraft. But personally I would hate to play a long game like FE waiting for a bunch of people to have their turn. Games either should be designed to be fast with multiplayer in mind, or designed to be immersive with singleplayer in mind. FE just isn't suited to multiplayer.[/quote]
[quote who="seanw3" reply="4" id="3099965"]I find these kinds of threads very suspect. I am not saying you are lying, but I would need see proof of these friends.

100 dmg 20% crit 3x crits average 140 with 20 str average 168 with 20 dex average 160 so as you see dmg is very similar, also the assumption of 3x crit is not the max you can get, with max crit dmg (wich i repeat is out of control and should be fixed) dex is nearly as good as str also providing some def
just the usual solution math out how less accuracy it takes to have 2 wielding equal to 1 weapon + 20% dmg or so
someone with 40 dex would have 100% penetration then :D
im ofc talking about crit numbers, i got 200+ crits in some case and often more than 100, thats quite insane and out of control imo point is when you have a good weapon doing lets say 50 dmg and you already have 30 str 1 point more of str is just 2 % or so more dmg i dont know the exact numbers so i cant calculate how much dex does but since the HUGE difference between a normal attack and a crit it could be worth
thumbs up this is a serious problem and i wanted to make the same exact post while i love the ai having a "good" tactic of guerrilla sometimes it gets too boring to deal with my idea to solve the problem is much simpler: just reduce the movement to 1 for everything inside enemy territory so defenders can catch up much more easily and still i agree it would be cool to have some wall or similar to reduce
[quote who="Manii Names" reply="4" id="3096604"]Time consuming.[/quote] i kinda agree, but it could be that placement is possible only after a medium high lvl research also more indicated for when there are actual armies to manage
did you notice crits are out of control right now? crit is not bad at all since you can 1 shot most enemies and do consistent dmg to high armor monsters otherwise very long to kill i agree the scaling is a bit tuned down but SURELY not crit multiplier i was about to make a post about crit being definitely too strong and it need a nerf not a buff no initiative either, we discussed a lot about how initiative is t
[quote who="Tasunke" reply="8" id="3095878"]The thing is ... without guards, all lairs will dissappear very quickly once the AI joins in on the fun. Therefore, Lairs should actually be guarded, at least with monsters with better lair-guarding AI. I'm guessing that all lairs will be destroyed within the first 50 turns of the game once the AI learns to get rid of them too. (without consistent guards)[/quote] thats
[quote who="seanw3" reply="3" id="3095740"]Why not just add an encounter to the lair? Then increase the spawn frequency so that they are a real factor in the game. Act I needs to give the user an impression of being at war with these beasts. [/quote] yes and no i miss the feeling of mom of a dangerous world, i loved some early WOM idea about wolves banding together and stuff like that, in some early beta it was quite cool
guys you are just getting the wrong point frogboy is talking about enemy sovereign killing monsters but not going to get the loot and he is wondering the impact on balance on ai getting tons of better stuff in the next patches... basically their champions sovereigns were playing with basic vendor stuff
