Crafting is a great idea, but it should be a choice that forces you to forego other options. Meaning that crafting should require resources that severely hamper something else--perhaps a lot of city development--and the return should justify the loss, but be very different in its results. I'm thinking of KotOR, and it's lackluster crafting, which didn't require any sacrifices to speak of, and resulted in weapons that were just as good as the ones you could o

[quote who="OMG_Shiro" reply="65" id="3316923"]They are groups of 500 soldiers that you hire. You can hire them = to the percent of your realms man power that you have in whatever tech tree it is. Different units have different costs, like archer - 1 point, H infantry - 2 point etc. They are always up and each culture has its own special retinue (Scotish Pikemen, Welsh Longbowmen, etc.) Edit: You probably won't be able to get them anywhere near the start of the game unless you

If you're on Firefox, check out the NoSquint Site Settings add-on. Works for me on some sites where the background is bilious green, or bright red enough to make me think I'm stuck in the middle of an Ornette Coleman solo.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="20" id="3316799"]@psychoak Amen. I love Master of Magic more than most. But I don't kid myself about the shape it was in when it shipped. Luckily, it was a very FUN game. But it was, by today's standards, completely broken. If it came out today in the shape it was then, you'd be talking 50 metacritic. Even back at the time, it got panned for being so buggy. There's a reason there was no MOM 2.[/quote] <p

[quote who="Replicators" reply="235" id="3315681"] They stated they wouldn't have it by launch, and would consider adding it afterwards. Unless there is a newer post on the subject that I;m not aware of, if so, please enlighten me.[/quote] This is a case of a previous thread (one of several) on multiplayer. I'm sure I saw Derek or Brad respond directly to this point--I think it was Brad--that there would be no multiplayer in this game.&nbsp

[quote who="Replicators" reply="232" id="3314748"]Devs, if you can read this, please answer our question. Will Fallen enchantress have multiplayer? It has been too long since you last shed the light on the subject when you stated if the game did well, you might consider. /beg[/quote] It's already been answered by them. Some people just don't like that answer.

[quote who="Leo in WI" reply="1056" id="3314729"] Quoting Glazunov1, reply 1055I notice in your latest archive a file named configuration.femm. This isn't mentioned in the installation instructions.

Evolving FE. I still enjoy MoM a lot, but doing a newer version of what's been done before is only the thing to do when you don't feel you can do better. Your team has plenty of skill, the memory capabilities of computers are far greater, and you have different ideas. Go for it. ...But fix diplomacy before you do.

[quote who="telgar" reply="227" id="3311470"] I can argue against that statement. Heroes of might and magic IV did not contain any multi-player options at all when it first came out. The uproar was so loud that they added it to the very first expansion.[/quote] A minor point: Multiplayer was intended for the initial game, but because it was underfunded, this was planned long before release for addition in the first expansion. It wasn't a response to

Are you using the latest game patch? Because I'm not sure of compatibility. And did you follow the installation instructions precisely that Heavenfall provided? Because the mod has to be placed in exactly the locations he required to work. You also have to check the box in the game options to load mods, then quit and restart.

[quote who="pomalley" reply="77" id="3311413"]Want to place bets on when it comes out? I'm going to say September. [/quote] There's not that much to reconfigure in the new game, so I suspect their timeline may be more accurate than the usual developer predictions. But we'll see.

Found this postedup on the Snowbird blog: [quote]The first beta stage of Eador is coming to a close. And while we’re still giving out keys to those who wish to continiue playing the current beta, let’s see where we’re at the moment: 1) First of all, a big thanks to everybody who spent their time writing bug reports.

Can't keep them. They're only for review. :D Software is treated differently. Like CDs, books, DVDs, if you review it, you get to keep it. At least, such has been my experience for a long time. But hardware usually goes back to the manufacturer.

Good info. Thanks, Pomalley. I am considering it. Certainly the price is right for E:G. I've found this link, with tree schematics for both games. No idea if it's been posted here, but it shows some depth: http://koti.welho.com/ehalttun/public_files/eador/eador_buildings.zip

[quote who="pomalley" reply="71" id="3309865"] Quoting Glazunov1, reply 70 My impression is that E:M is pretty much E:G with newer graphics, and maybe an expanded tree. So if the price is under $20 US, I'll give real consideration to buying it. It's not the graphics that make the difference to me, but the strategy involved in having more choices for city development. Don't get me wrong--unless it's $50 I will also get it. Given all the ravings

[quote who="Sanati" reply="3" id="3309514"]The only thing AI's ignore are NAPs and Tribute treaties*, they do actually care about relationships. The problem is the game is heavily weighted so that everyone will eventually declare war on each other. Some of the negative "feelings" AI's have are set to increase drastically in severity as the game goes on, while things that add a positive are set to decrease. Other things are heavily stacked against the player who tends to use intelligen

I would, however, highly recommend picking up Genesis. It's only $6 on GOG, so if you don't mind the quaint style of the graphics and have the time and money, get it! But that's just me.[/quote] My impression is that E:M is pretty much E:G with newer graphics, and maybe an expand

Both were excellent games. Frog City Software was a small companies with some great ideas. My wife still enjoys playing Trade Empires. :) Unfortunately, they spent a lot of time working on a strategic/rpg/sim title set in Greek mythology, and ran afoul of...well, idiots, while attempting to sell the idea to various companies.
