[quote who="Stanley Tarrant" reply="9" id="3256017"]Frogboy wants to exercise your attention to detail, a skill missing from the youth of today.[/quote] :D I just watch for the sleeping cities icon, but I can understand the objections from others. Would be nice if a future version of the game after release adds a checkbox that pops up a message whenever you have a sleeping city. Mind, I think anybody who used this would quickly realize

[quote who="kryo" reply="17" id="3256018"]Fallen Enchantress does not use Steamworks, so if you don't want to use Steam, it's as simple as not buying it from Steam. [/quote] Then I was wrong, and that makes me a *lot* happier, given the smaller partitions on my hard drive.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="9" id="3255973"]There is so much to be done just within the current XML, I am not too concerned with not having advanced scripting. To me, the modding is incredibly robust and user friendly. Be happy with what you have and learn how to wield it.[/quote] I think coldsteel has raised a valid point. What you write has merit in so far as it suits a specific player's modding needs. But it doesn't address his concerns,

[quote who="Murteas" reply="9" id="3255969"] Quoting Glazunov1, reply 7 Stardock doesn't intend at this point to offer downloads of the final FE game code outside Steam. So...if you want updates, you'll need to go with the Steam version. Might as well uninstall the non-Steam, since it isn't going to be updated. I've seen no posts that say this, and in fact I've seen some from Frogboy that contradict this. IF yo

If you check Steam, you'll see it's supposed to release Tuesday. Derek was stating something along the lines of 1 PM Eastern US, but I suspect that's subject to change.

[quote quoting="post"] I initially thought maybe I would be intrested in the beta for fallen enchantress but WoM left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, so I had decided to hold off until the final version was added to my account. I'm looking forward to it. I just wanted to ask a couple questions, I would likely already know the answers If I had been following along with beta development, but I havent so... 1. Will I be able to add it steam? or is this just

Think of it this way: Paradox has Crusader Kings II available in both Steam and non-Steam versions. It has to offer updates both on Steam, and elsewhere, because Steam updates will only increment game versions installed through Steam, and non-Steam updates have to be used for all non-Steam titles. Stardock doesn't intend at this point to offer downloads of the final FE game code outside Steam. So...if you want updates, you'll need to go with the Stea

[quote who="Darksomen" reply="2" id="3255939"]So for steam users we do not need to do an uninstall?[/quote] Yes, you do. Because the updates will only affect games installed through Steam. Unless Stardock chooses to offer updates separately, outside of Steam, and I've seen no mention of this. .

Your non-Steam version won't get updated beyond 0992. So you will want to uninstall it.

[quote who="C0LDsteel" reply="6" id="3255921"] I really thought this would be a doable workaround that could be implemented but it sounds like FE modding mainly consists of setting game constants in the XML and there is little to no condition checking or event spawning based on conditions or game variables. That's really too bad because based on all of Brad's posts over the years, I really thought FE modding was going to be pretty robust.[/quote]

[quote who="seanw3" reply="3" id="3255899"]How would you give the item? How would having an item trigger a quest? You actually have to use the item to get a quest as in Relias' treasure map. Sov and hero deaths don't have alot of modding potential. I don't see a way to give an item.[/quote] As to how an item in an inventory would trigger a quest: you mentioned this being one of the methods in your last post. But if I understand you correctly, you'r

[quote who="Winterbraid" reply="2" id="3255903"]My alliance treaties only pretend to expire as mentioned, but other types of treaties really do expire on the next turn.[/quote] That's interesting. Which specific treaties really do expire? An economic treaty shouldn't, but I could see if a non-aggression treaty would, since the alliance would supersede it.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="1" id="3255881"]With what we call background unit stats, you can indeed tell if a unit has been injured. Stormworld does this and uses it to calculate other functions. But you can't initiate a quest based on that. There are only a few triggers for quests. Population level, turn number, goodiehut and item. So, you could have a building that unlocks an item in the shop. Using that item could start the quest. But you can't have a quest pop up when someone is in

I got it as well with Gildar and Altair. Made a treaty with each one turn, got the expired popup the next. However, the treaty still remained in forced.

[quote who="mfrast" reply="8" id="3255599"]Forgive me here for asking this, but if this game goes well for you guys,.... CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A BUSINESS SIMULATION GAME!? You can make it fun and goofy at the top, but serious underneath. The attention to detail you folks have with numbers and making them relate to the macro world is amazing. If you do make one, I will personally pledge to buy every game you ever make from the

Yes, but it appeared after all the posts, above. Thanks, anyway. ;)

Some of the sillier reviewers will have problems with the idea of a TBS, or confuse strategy games with RPGs. Doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure the game will do very well. Best of luck with it, Brad.

Just look at where it says "Weight: 80" on the item. I always check weight before placing something with one of my champions, since encumbrance is a big factor in initiative. You should consider checking that out all the time, too.

Assuming you have a final list of changes before release, this would be very helpful.

Yes, it's true: my love affair with Procipinee ended after her spellbooks doubled in point cost. Irreconcilable differences, you see. She went back to her mirror, and I moved on to custom sovereigns. These days I typically prefer a mix of the Light spellbook, with different backgrounds and traits, and a race that has Enchanters and Betrayers. If I was asked at wand point to choose a couple of lore-based rulers to play, I'd opt for Kraxis or Gil

Another good tool I recommend to all gamers, but especially those with 32-bit systems, is Iobit's Game Booster 3. It analyzes your computer's ongoing processes, and then makes recommendations for stopping those which won't matter while your full attention is on a game. Once you decide which recommendations to keep, you launch the game--and Game Booster closes those processes, first. It then runs your game, and after you've finished, restarts the processes it

You played on Expert, which I assume was your "world" setting. Were your opponents set to Expert, as well? How many were there, and were they of the opposite faction (kingdom/empire)? That has a lot to do with overall aggression, all other matters being equal. What size map did you use, and was it randomized for topographical features? What were the settings for density of resources and heroes?

[quote who="seanw3" reply="33" id="3255112"]I know what you mean about people liking the same game, but not the same parts of it. I thought CivIII was the best Civ just because it took things past the modern era. I am sorry, but the modern era is so incredibly weak and boring. I look at it with pitiful disdain.[/quote] I weep for you. :) [quote] Why o why must we live in the bowels of time?[/quote] An air purifier helps.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="3" id="3255062"] It says it in the heirganomon[/quote] Agreed--but when you're actually on the research screen, an anomaly like this should be pointed out there. Rather than figuring you might go to the Hiergamenon and run across it.

[quote who="Limboldt" reply="26" id="3255037"] That is true, but Civ worked continous on improvements.[/quote] So does Stardock, judging from its record. Let's not undervalue the company in this respect. Though it is true that Sid Meier's mother made chocolate chip cookies that have yet to be surpassed.
