New York Nutrabaits user, Joel Harber has been putting our gear to particularly good use in recent weeks over in The USA, taking a very impressive seven fish in only nine daylight hours from a water close to his home (Now that's what you call having a nice day!). Joel reports his success on PVA bags stuffed full of mini 3D Pellets and broken up 20mm Shelf life Boilies. We have pictured Joel this month with a very striking look

I have faith that the game is going to be great. Derek Paxton will keep things ship shape and in order. I like everything I've seen so far. :)

I would think a lot of the reviewers would be frustrated with the controls because, let's face it, console controls just aren't as good and as precise as a keyboard and mouse. $15 is a fair price to me and I'm sure I'll get my money's worth anyway. Especially if there is a sandbox mode included. Not excited about the crappy DRM to be honest though.

Sounds like Derek Paxton is well aware of the problem. DIG: How have you approached the range of PC processing power on the market? D. P.: The most significant limitation for turn-based strategy games on the PC is the amount of memory a 32-bit operating system allows to an application. Our players want to play on large worlds, worlds that dwarf even the largest StarCraft II maps. On most

Part 2 was interesting. Thanks for the link.

[quote who="Wilson" reply="197" id="2974328"]What about modability? I'm no expert, but I'm not aware of any particular mod tools for MoM. In my eyes, that's a huge advantage for FE. Correct me if I'm wrong![/quote] Good point. E:FE should certainly be more moddable than MoM.

One is graphics, obviously (2010/11 game vs. a 1995 game); can you name me 2 more? It doesn't require DosBox to run. And... Hm... Err... I rest my case. See, we all knew FE was going to lack MoM's diverse races, flying units

Great news. I'll give it a spin. :)

Arr, I hate the sea and everything in it.

[quote who="Murteas" reply="104" id="2972309"]Really discouraging to me to hear all the complaining, and I am not even on the dev team. I don't necessarily disagree with the desire to have more spells, and in fact I would love to contribute to creating those spells (with Murteas' Grimoire or something simiiar), but the way people are demanding and even predicting a complete failure at this point is ridiculous. Give feedback, and suggest spells, encourage, and g

It looks very intriguing. I've been watching this game for awhile. I think the initial game will allow the company to get their foot in the door so to speak. After that, there are great possibilities for a game like this. I'll wait and see how the game goes at launch and then look at buying this. There certainly looks to be at least $15 in entertainment here. :)

Oh man! That game is still around? Lol. It's been a long time... [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Atari sucks. Maybe they'll make MoM2 as a FPS ala X-COM Abomination by 2K Games. The last good game ATARI put out was M.U.L.E. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Looks pretty good. The variety seems decent and I like the fact that there are quest and unique spells. The artwork also is fantastic. A+ job there. I do miss nature spells though. As mentioned by others, I like summoning bears, wolves, treants etc. I suppose that could be modded in of course. Perhaps a "Druidish" type character could then be made. <

[quote who="LightofAbraxas" reply="11" id="2970105"]I heard that they decided to turn FE into an FPS and they've been spending all their time coming up with a new marketing campaign for it.[/quote] Turn based Strategy games just aren't contemporary. [e digicons]:hrmph:[/e]

Fall from Heaven 2 sort of had trophies when you played the Doviello. They helped add culture and money to the city they were added to if you had the proper building built. I like the idea of using the boss monster you killed for various things as mentioned above. Extra morale is a nice idea. It'd be cool to kill a white dragon and be able to use it's scales to make cold resistant armour if you the proper building or kill a highly poisonous creature and

Well, I am anyway. [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

Lol. I guess I didn't think that out too well. Of course MoM was inspired by MtG! *slaps forehead* [e digicons]x_x[/e] I must be getting old. Ha ha! tanafres, you are right. The magic system in MtG is still one of the best ever. Even after 17 1/2 years of playing, it's still horribly addicting. So, if E:FE is going to closely pattern MoM the

Nice interview and good to hear from Derek and Jon. They really seem to love Stardock it seems. Also, happy to hear that Derek and many people at Stardock are huge Magic the Gathering fans. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I'd love to see a little Magic the Gathering influence in E:FE if possible.
