I remember opening this thread before any replies and trying to guess what percentage would be correcting the obvious mistake in the original post. Or commenting on said corrections.
[quote who="solidsmooky" reply="4" id="2802536"] Quoting mentalinstra, reply 3 Some people seem to have a hard time figuring out these decimals. lol The American school system is awful. I apologize. [/quote]So... it's your fault?
[quote who="trcanberra" reply="16" id="2802840"] Cool and kinda scary at the same time. While looking forward to cool new stuff, there is a little fear that some of the bits I like might be ditched. [/quote]Totally agree. But it's still neat.
[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="74" id="2802808"] The sad truth is I spent way to much time looking for a non-dorky picture of me and that's the best I could come up with. If it helps, Im not wearing any pants in that picture. [/quote][e digicons]:rofl:[/e]
Interesting. I haven't messed around with crystal or shards much. I really need to try new game styles. I've finally decided that I'll give magic a try instead of just having tons of archers. heh Also, I always forget to get married until around turn 150.
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="151" id="2801671"]Wow. I'm Nerdgasming. Great to have Kael aboard. And if you're wondering what comes out when you nerdgasm, its legos. [/quote]Must be painful.
well this thread was either prescient or more productive than expected
The most important is food, then getting a gold and a lost library. After a bit food becomes pointless, and gold less so, and tech becomes the most valuable. I spread out picking up resources as I go, hiring heroes and summoning various summon creatures (whom I send out with the hired heroes) to pick up loot from abandoned wares and to go on quests. Also to fight and level up. I try to level up Civilization first (and most) so that I can get pubs and inns so my cit
If they're pink, I'm leaving.
[quote who="nniles" reply="3" id="2797700"]Just don't make it so that a fast-acting unit has to give up a turn to let a slower acting unit go first. It's nice to have tank-types suck up all of the counter-attacks, or let catapult dump their load before I spend mana. [/quote]Maybe a wait until end of turn button so you can have them stand back until the rest of the team has gone? That said, with initiative, it would make sense to use mana to get rid of any problems on the op
So then what did you mean by saying "Isn't it discrimination ?"?
I understand what he's complaining about, but it seems an awful lot like complaining for the sake of complaining.
[quote who="lackoo1111" reply="53" id="2797512"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 13 Someone who wants to wait for the game to be discounted can certainly do that. But they won't be getting the free expansions. Isn't it discrimination ? [/quote]What?
What's wrong with... you know, installing impulse? I can hardly take you at you word as a gamer if you refuse to try the best version of the game. I don't know any gamer anywhere that REFUSES to play the best version of a game. Seriously. Edit: Upon reading some of these other posts. Nevermind. Clearly, I am in the minority in this thread as someone that just doesn't care. Though I will never buy a game that requires activ
lol
Um, this all sounds great. Wouldn't mind trying the beta 1.1. *shrug*
[quote who="Delmoroth" reply="5" id="2795712"]Right now people are still having memory leak issues. I would suggest something with 6-8 gigs of ram so that you can safely use the crash fix to grant elemental more memory. This changed my game from crashing in a hundred turns are so, to never crashing. Unfortunately on 32 bit systems I think you are just stuck dealing with crashes. [/quote]I haven't had a problem with crashing in a bit, but how do you implement this
The problem, Kalin, is that you don't always get your first gold mine for some time. Edit: Oh, a larger amount of money to start with. That would take care of the problem.
I love this thread. Apparently, WoW Cataclysm comes out 12/7. Anyway, even if Blizzard did naughty things to SC2... I wouldn't know, didn't feel like playing it, I will definitely be getting Diablo 3.
[quote who="joasoze" reply="46" id="2794920"]I have said this before, but since the frog hasnt listened yet, I will repeat. The number of people in the world is limited. All empires are in essence "fighting" for the same people to join them. If there is a pool of people that will be attracted to cities each round then prestige will be very important. Each city will produce prestige, but for each level the prestige raised exponentially: Level 1: 1 prestige, L
[quote who="Nenjin" reply="3" id="2794881"]I don't like the free unit idea. Kids inherit some of their parents traits, which means finding a good spouse is supposed to be important. There just needs to be a way to access a lot of heroes at once rather than being forced to deal with the ones wandering around. Like a tavern that has one random, rotating NPC every few turns. Wait for the right match, hire them, boom. [/quote]That could be a secondary use of the pub... though that takes a wh
Funny, it made me think about how important a REALLY high attack rating was :P
It's been mentioned before. I've never lost a spouse, but remarrying should be an option. I wonder if/when it will be.
[quote who="kapeman" reply="20" id="2794640"]That has not been my experience. The last couple of sandbox games I have played (v1.09) have been a constant struggle for food. Food and horses seem to be the most rare resources now followed closely by ore. [/quote]Use caravans and have all caravans go to (and from) your food cities. The longer the distance the better (as long as the route is relatively safe from monsters).
not sure it matters... I started a game yesterday and now have a surplus of like 30 food. Probably the caravans need to be nerfed before food restrictions really matter.
