[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="7" id="2944547"] It was removed a few months ago because: 1. We needed the screen space for creature abilities. I hated to have actual information that was valuable to new players missing or truncated so we could fit flavor text in. 2. Some of the flavor text was to long to fit so we would have had to go back and give it more screen space or truncate the text. 3. Some of the flavor text wasn't very g

[quote who="just_jim" reply="76" id="2944525"]my opinion... Forgotten Realm's: "Baulder's Gate II, Shadows of Amn" I am almost 50 years old, and I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons since the days of 20 sided dice... hehe. I have played literally thousands of hours both on paper and computer, and years past I've won 3 different D&D tourniments at conventions. And easily the best, most heart wrenching adventure I ever played was Baldur's

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="22" id="2944541"] So of my favorites that haven't been mentioned yet: 1. Dungeon Keeper 2 2. Emporer: Rise of the Middle Kingdom 3. Monopoly Tycoon (one of my favorite multiplayer games because you could be so mean to other players in the auctions).[/quote] Oooh..good call! That game is still awesome after all these years. My favourite city builder of a

[quote who="Lantros" reply="1" id="2944535"] I was thinking about posting this game, but i was too lazy, because its everytime hard to post in a foreign language. (i know. Its only english ) Anyway.... i´ve played the demo and it seems that this game will be deep and complex turnbased strategy game. And 20€ for a brand new game!!!!! Sure i will buy it. [/quote] Nice to hear. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Yeah, I am really look

Just thought I'd give a shout out for a game that's coming out soon (June 7th) called Pride of Nations by AGEOD. AGEOD or Paradox France is a company that has released many excellent war games. Also Philippe Thibaut who is a co-developer of the game is the original creator of Europa Universalis. It's a turn based grand strategy game that looks to provide real historical insight into why history unfolded the way it did. This game is going to be deep a

[quote who="MartialDoc" reply="19" id="2944400"]How can you guys mention tycoon games without mentioning the original Railroad Tycoon?? And I'll agree with the Tropico bit... it was a good one.[/quote] Railroad Tycoon was super fun as well. The good old days. ^^

Seems a bit odd. [e digicons]:S[/e] They should definitely bring it back.

Refreshing honesty. It's why I'll stand by Stardock and be patient. Elemental and spinoffs will be great one day. I'm in it for the long haul. Vive la Middle Market! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Tridus" reply="9" id="2944483"]I'm kind of amazed the other thread about the campaign was locked, but this one is still open. It's like opposite day.[/quote] Could be. Anyway, I hope the campaign for E:FE is good. Supposedly, it's Jon Shafer's baby so I'm sure he'll do a great job with it.

An expansion with a lot of water stuff would be excellent. I'd prefer if it just wasn't tacked on.

[quote who="ronved" reply="7" id="2944302"]you two knuckleheads are seriously going to take offense over my criticism about something that you did not produce, criticism that is well deserved. what a couple of mary's, why don't you get upset over something relevant.

[quote who="ronved" reply="4" id="2943725"]thanks i will check it out it worked. thank you very much and charon2112, kiss my ass jerk[/quote] Well, Mr. Allergic to capital letters, perhaps you could learn some manners yourself. i know nobody cares about the campaign, but i am starting out there because it seems like a good place to learn this very unintuitive

I'm sure if you look, you'll find them in the files. ;)

[quote who="alaknebs" reply="11" id="2942542"] Quoting DsRaider, reply 9 Quoting greggbert, reply 8I want a kracken mount. Actually having 2 fully water-based races would be really cool, like they did in Alpha Centauri. Real men ride dolphins to war! then you terraform their water into land (or volcano) and kill them all?[/quote] Which is why, in my opinion, they should either axe terraformin

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="4" id="2942282"]Everything about EFE will be awesome including the manual. So let it be written. So let it be done.[/quote] Maktub.

I'd settle for ill tempered mutated Chilean sea bass myself. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Indeed. It's very encouraging to hear this. I second the motion and agree with the notion.

Sounds good to me. Bring on the beta so we can beat that beat up. I mean beat that beta up. (That is playtest it and work all the kinks out so it isn't so kinky.) Errr...I'll stop now. :P

Yep. Take the time until you are satisfied Frogboy. I do want moar though. :P

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="33" id="2941529"]I just bought this game, and after having played it, I am really, really Glad we have Jon on board at Stardock. Civ V is a very good game.[/quote] I'm happy Jon is working for Stardock as well. I'm sure he's happy working here too. E:FE is going to be great and Jon will be a big reason why. Thankfully, there is no 2K Games forcing it to be released far too early

[quote who="Austinvn" reply="14" id="2940921"] Quoting Heavenfall, reply 13From what I can tell of the AI, it just rolls a random number for buildings deciding what type to build, then builds something with that tag. It appears to be purely random after set numbers and turns, not necessity-driven. For example, the default AI will almost never build a level 5 city because the odds of building population buildings in a level 4 city are extremely low. Interestin

Great stuff. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] The wild lands look bad arsed and the civilized lands look very tranquil. Excellent contrast I think.

Thanks for that. It looks pretty sweet with the chasms, wild lands and elemental lords. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Releasing this on a weekend too. Props for that.

Looking forward to the new development journal and learning more about the improvements to the magic system in EFE. :)
