The best unmodded game would be the Master of Orion 2 for me. But there are plenty of mods that make other games even better than vanilla MoO2: Age of Wonders 2 (Shadow Magic) with Brave New World mod Jagged Alliance 2 with any of the big modification based on the 1.13 unofficial patch mods (Urban Chaos, AIMNAS etc.) Civilization IV with Realism Invictus mod Dominions 3 with bunch of different mods
Am I the only one who is getting much higher unit wages with this build? Is this intended?
If you want a strong accent on RPG elements and tactical battles, then AoW SM with mandatory BNW 3.2 Mod is the best Fantasy TBS out there. This mod is as important for AoW as FFH2 is for Civ 4. On the other hand if you are rather looking toward empire-building game in fantasy settings, then FFH2 is top notch.
Also Dominions 3 is a decent fantasy tbs with very strong rpg background.
Just right now IMO: AoW SM + BNWv3.2 > FFH2 > EWom
[quote who="kryo" reply="18" id="2731499"]ATI users, please try the new 10.8 catalyst out today and let us know if it helps any.[/quote] I have just installed new drivers: no changes in performance, ATI's CCC shows GPU activity at zero all the time, sometime it rises during the tactical battles only...still can't say to much about crashing but I had no crashing with older versions of drivers at all (except when alt-tabing)
I very much agree, to every thing OP says. As much as I love the game, I have to admit, that the battles are totally broken: mob eats all. One thing I would add to this list is the possibility to upgrade units and bind them into bigger group and remove them from the group if needed. So I could split my 12 men unit into 2 6-men squads if needed and combine them back whenever I want to.
Your log says you are using drivers from 4 / 3 / 2010 but the newest for your card on nvidia site are from 7/19/2010.
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="124" id="2730000"]If you have an older Quad core processor .....[/quote] I have q6600 @ 3.2 Gh so i guess it qualifies as an older type, but setting cpu's affinity to cores 0 and 1 did not improve the performance whatsoever.
But after it crashes can u guys just load your last save and play on? I downloaded few saves from this board ad try to recreate a crash but with no effect...
I tried your saves on my rig and i get no crash, can play normally, although air shrine tile graphic is missing. I have q6600 @3.2 4GB ram ATI HD4870 latest drivers, Vista x64. DX 10 (you have DX 11 thou).
Could someone pls upload their crashing save game? I have performance issue but had to see a crash yet...
Is there a way to disable bug logging? Just curious how big impact it has on the performance....
Update through your Impulse.
Thx a lot !
I have two champs in the group: one is primarily a mage casting spells, second one is a warrior. Now i find a pice of magic armor...and the game gives it to the mage, for whom it is uselles, as he always stays behind casting spells. My warrior would be very happy wearing this shinig plate... So how do I transfer the armor from the mage to the warrior? Some usable equipment shows on the one of the bars and I can drag it from one unit to another but this is not the case...the arm
We could use like official thread for MUST HAVE FEATURES that are not implemented yet...

Why all the pre-made sovereigns have one of these books and custom-made sovereigns cannot take one?
In one of my games this Janusk guy actually attacked my sovereign...

LOL that is the most hilarious bug ever... BTW you married your daughter for a drake, you have a drake grandson, and still you are worried about a horse... [e digicons]:moo:[/e] I do not get those imperials...
It happens to me after alt+tabing the game. Restarting it brings those effects back.
Dude, what happened to crash 7? [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
[quote who="elerion2" reply="3" id="2727116"]Correct me if I'm wrong, but: Equipment effects are multiplicative with your stats. A broadsword adds many times more damage to your Sovereign than to a base unit.[/quote] It is no multiplier, it simply adds its value to the attack value of the champion. Example: My champion Rilis has 9 attack, i bought her mace for 270 gildars (+12 attac) and she has att 21 The same mace for a units cost 8g, 1 mats and 2
