I need to pay more attention to these threads. I have just purchased battle world s kronos - it looked too good to pass up.

they have had 2 backers at 3500 pounds - yikes! Still 50k short though.
I purchased this over the weekend. They state it is beta 0.9 but I believe 0.4 would have been more appropriate. So far am having fun but there are way too many bugs and missing features. But at $15 I won't complain too much.
I would like to see a new HOMM like qame that captures the fun of HOMM2 and 3. I have pledged but I have a feeling they won't reach their target.
Looks very interesting. A mashup of concepts I like. I have decided to back it.
Agreed - the tone is serious so the idea of a lollypop and bunny slippers put me right off.
What annoys me is when a faction declares war which isn't even close to your borders. Often another faction actually sits between your empire and that of the enemy. So you get this constant, "I declare war!", then 20 turns later "let's make peace!" cycle with no actual contact or even the possibility of contact as the empire in the middle won't let you pass.
hmm, sorry but I think I will give this a miss. It doesn't add to the game at all.
BruntFCA I hadn't see those clips before. You know it is happening but when you see it in action it is very shocking. Incredible how the US government and the military think this is acceptable and try to silence all dissenting voices. People like Assange and other whistle blowers should be hailed as heroes. If the bosses are protecting the actions of these war criminals what does that say about the bosses. Sickening. America is rotten at the core.
trailer is certainly effective. I wanna watch it :)
Metacritic is only showing 4 reviews and averaging at 77% I believe this game is a solid 8.5-9
I would like to be able to see other parts of the world. If not spies how about a scrying spell?
One of the things I believe is lacking from all version of the game has been the insight to what other factions are doing. You can find out who they like etc but but you have no idea to the extent of their empire, number of cities the balance of their forces the boundaries of their empire etc etc. I feel the game would benefit from a mid game unit/building that could provide intelligence on other factions. The closer you are to the faction the cheap it would be and the
Let me be the first to offer my congratulations. I can't wait to fire it up. I haven't had a chance to play since the 0.8+ versions.
Awesome news. I am hoping diplomacy receives a bit of love before you send it out.
In my case it does appear the army was in explore mode. However, I cannot see any indication that it is switched on, or off.I would have thought this would be a 1 hour fix.
I would have to check - I never use explore because scouts tend to just approach the first monster and get eaten. If explore is set then it is not obvious that the unit is in explore mode. Also if a unit is in explore more surely manually setting a destination would untoggle the explore behaviour?
@ Uvah it is Kryten trying to say smeghead but his programming won't let him
Hi all, I have an annoying bug in 0.80 that I haven't read about yet. In my current game using Umber I cannot keep my main hero set to a certain task. I can click on a distant destination and a turn later I will find he is off with his army in a completely random direction. This behaviour began to occur a few hours into the game and now it has made it almost unplayable. Has any one else seen this behaviour? I have never uploaded a saved g
B7 was created by Terry Nation who was also very involved with Doctor Who. Blake's 7 had very good stories and even better characters. Avon and Servalan are the kind of characters that you will never forget. For me I can trace back many ideas and concepts that I have to elements of the show. The Liberator, Zen, Orac and the other characters are iconic in many ways. The more I think about it the more likely the remake is
@jafo [e digicons]#:([/e] Let me hold out in hope just a little bit longer...
I am so hoping that this is going to be good. http://www.denofgeek.com/tv/blakes-7/25155/blakes-7-reboot-goes-to-full-series-order The opening music for this great show is forever etched on my brain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnautWFuEnQ
@ Suntechnique I agree with your suggestion. It would make sense to have the unrest stat displayed alongside the other 4 already there.
What I can't stand is the diplomacy is one way. If I am fed up with a war suing for peace usually costs upwards of a squillion gold pieces. However, enemy AIs never pays any reparations. Also if I try to entice other AIs to declare war on their neighbours the cost is exorbitant. However, enemy AIs will often gang up on me even when I know they don't have much gold in the coffers and their relationships are actually warmers towards me than each other. </p
Do you want a peace treaty? That will cost you 6575 pieces of Gold WTF. Ok fair enough lets grind this war for a bit longer. Sure enough now the enemy leaders comes to me and says "It is time for peace". What no gold to back up your request? The diplomacy in this game is pretty awful. The peace treaty issue is just one example. The PC has to pay huge sums to get anything done and yet the AI players only give you take it or l
