yay for fixing the "declare war on you before having met you" bug - that one really bugged me ;-)

Hey there, whenever some unit in combat attacks with the ability maul (attack again with lesser accuracy until you miss) then the game freezes on my machine for some time. Mostly more than 10 seconds, sometimes more than 30. It is really annoying. When a unit lands the first hit the freezing starts again. I observed this when enemy units did this (like those pale lunatics) but also with my own units - as I found a sword with that ability. However this is too bad sinc

Just fyi download is ready as far as I can see and if no one of you steals my bandwidth I'm gonna be done in an hour =)

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="29" id="3058542"] Actually, I'd really like the ability to design our own road systems. WOMs caravan routes take the looooong way around sometimes . [/quote] Oh yeah I definitely agree on this one, often I'm like: Go take the straight line... be a nice caravan.. no.. no...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :'(

[quote who="juryal" reply="33" id="3058511"]Does Stardock still have the bandwidth for this now that Impulse is gone? We're not going to see dial-up speeds due to demand are we?[/quote] I'm also concerned about this, but only time will tell (and it will probably be best for me to leave my laptop on and go to sleep anyway)

Well obviously it won't be in FE since there is no MP as Brad mentioned :-) And there was no real one in WOM so maybe this is a reason why this got canceled (and not AI problems). I like ambitious ideas like this one. Maybe this was instance of "If you are not failing, then you are not trying hard enough" - I still would love to see this in some kind of future Addon/new game - Brad already stated that the AI has gotten a lot better. It would be very interesting. I&#

Sounds awesome, thanks for the writeup! I'm just a bit concerned about the whole Trespassing thing... I don't want them to settle near me but I don't want to kick them out frequently because I want to make friends, not enemies all the time... [e digicons]5*[/e] for outposts, I'll see how they do... I usually had way more cities then I could handle just to expand (I'm an early and a lot expender) and will see how I can adjust the number of ourposts compared

I know that Impulse is now owned by GameStop but I thought/hoped that the integration would still be good so that I don't have to install it from the stardock page but rather from Impulse? Actually Elemental WOM has shown me how cool Impulse is and I'm now more of a digital game purchaser... No, as the other poster said it will o

I'm already repeatedly hitting F5 on the download page :D

I got a little question: Will the Beta also ba available on my Impulse account? I know that Impulse is now owned by GameStop but I thought/hoped that the integration would still be good so that I don't have to install it from the stardock page but rather from Impulse? Actually Elemental WOM has shown me how cool Impulse is and I'm now more of a digital game purchaser... :-)

Phew. At first I was like: "STARDOCK Y U NO SEND ME INVITE" but then I was like "WEB.DE Y U PUT MY BETA INVITE IN SPAM?"

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="136" id="3050540"]Wow, haven't seen Necromancy of this caliber in ages! Dark times are upon us! [/quote] However it helped me discover this little gem and the question posed is very interesting to me as well!

Go Xia go /sign

Thank you for the write up! I'm pretty excited about the BETA (and yes I'll take the disease) and see how the performance will be on my more business minded notebook. Hopefully just some more hours :-D

I got 8GB that want to be played with so going 4GB on my machine is totally cool since the other 4GB are rarely/never used Plus I agree with the UI stuff, still waiting to play FE in the Beta 2GB is all 32-bit Windows can deal with no matter how much RAM you have and half the PC gaming population has 32-bit Windows.[/quote] Hi brad,

Just one more night =) So when is this going to go live? I'm all for using 0:00 UTC time ;-) Or is it the first thing for Brad, when he comes into office, to press the big red button?

The new page caught me by surprise today... pretty awesome though so it was a pleasant surprise and I hope the game really has as darkf of a touch as does the site... speaking of which we've heard few things about this fallen enchantress (person, in game) - or have I missed something?

Wow just wow... I always felt that WoM had way too less variety in factions... I'll happily create my own faction and see what I can come up with - so many interesting choices. Usually I play as a nation with lots of research, strength, influence and gildar - let's see if one can combine all of those. However balancing these seems like a nightmare to me or am I wrong? I hope that someone will start a "share your faction and soveirgns" program. I'm ea

Can't wait to get it in my hands to try it out :-) I believe I preordered WOM... so yeah I hope FE is the game I was hoping WOM would be. Wonder how it runs on my laptop... just internal itnel graphics but those have gotten a lot better (it's 2nd generation core-i 5) and I got 64 bit and 8gigs of RAM :-D edit: How much time have you planned for incorporating feedback/fixing bugs? I found that there was much much much too less time allocate

Thank you for taking the time to write all of this down, I'm excited to try this game hope the beta will begin soon.

However the lack of different resources scares the crap out of me. I'll see how it goes but to me it looks a bit dumped down, I enjoy a wide variety of resources so I can specialize my towns and everything (I always ha

RTS Guru is a relatively new side so it might not be all gentleman but definitely some :-) Personally I agree overall, but I found it sad that the reviewer forgot to mention things like the compensations Stardock is giving us (tahnks again!) Personally I am still hoping that I will soon find the time for some qualtiy time with Elemental (currently my studies suck up all the time...) and I then hope that finally Elemental starts to like my 64 Bit W
