[quote who="ZehDon" reply="74" id="2395229"]Oblivion, for example, introduced Fast Travel for people who didn't want to walk abouts in the amazing virtual world they created. This was an attempt to make the game more accessible - however, this is like removing the driving segments of a driving game, in my opinion.[/quote] If this is your benchmark for being a hardcore gamer, then I am a casual gamer forever. I can't be bothered to run around that big a world when I don't want to. When
[quote who="Demiansky" reply="90" id="2394759"]If sovereign death = game over, it will greatly benefit the player and severely penalize the AI. Essentially what you will have is a moral hazard in which the character will be motivated to use his sovereign more carelessly and level up/ gain rewards faster than the AI's. When faced with throwing away hours of work upon defeat of their sovereign, the player will invariably decide to load their game. With this on their mind,

I preordered a long time ago. Thing is, I can run it on my laptop, but my desktop computer no. I also remembered to register it. Is there only limit 1 copy per account, or did I need to register on both my computers before the

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="26" id="2392445"] Quoting arunodayt, reply 23 I think quality will win over quantity in the end. Depends on the game. Example: Quality >>>> Quantity in Civ4. However, Quality = Quantity in Kohan: AG.[/quote] That may be so, but I thought of the similar games that I have played. I can think of Civ4, AoW series and HOMM and in all of them quality was a much more important factor. Since this game has similar unit design features,
From what I have seen of such games, I think quality will win over quantity in the end. But the time and other resource investment required to create the infrastructure necessary for training the high quality units will be large, which will mean a gradual shift to high quality units as the time goes on. If nothing else, the maintenance costs will be in their favour. But this game could be different. Not sure if that's a good idea or not. Personally, I am a big fan of high quality unit
The weather here is hot and sunny and humd and horrible overall and is getting on my nerves. I wish I had a gaming laptop which I could take to the room which has AC. Banned for not giving me the laptop.
