Hi all. First of all I want to say I like FE much more then E:WoM although at one time Brad told me that if I hated E:WoM I will hate FE as well. I am glad he as wrong about that as he was about us getting a disease by playing FE :D (actually he was kind of right about that, as my first game made me go to bed too late and I slept less then 6h that night and next day at work felt like I was sick :D). So lets get down to my experiences with the beta. I played 3 games total.I wil

+1 karma from me for awesome video that I can now use to give free advertisement on different forums for FE :)

Sieging and defending Sieges was a blast in Age of Wonders: SM. I hope FE can give us this fun as well.

They need to see the frustration of the people effected IMO, considering what happened in the past. Yes, absolutely. And in no way do I want to marginalize those who are having problems. As I said, I my

Tnx a lot for this guys. Keep it coming :) BTW, you need at least 1Mbps upload for HD quality stream.

[quote who="Das123" reply="12" id="3061487"] Quoting DsRaider, reply 9 They added it mainly because the AI would be at a huge disadvantage without it, they can't reload if a champion dies. This. I don't believe I'm the only player who makes a lot of use of the quick-save. The way Champions have been structured in FE keeps the AI in the game because unlike us they can't just reload if a battle goes against them. I like they way they are structure

The AI should not have whole map vision and know everything. The best games are when the AI needs to cheat the least. So for AI taking over your empty city AI should need to scout your city first.

Do you know any other similar game where pure magic wins the day? MoM and HoMM games didn't let you. Neither did Disciples or Age of Wonders.

As the title says. Please start streaming for us that are still waiting to get an invite and for everyone else and put you stream links here.

The only difficulty original X-com had was how many times you could be bothered to reload a saved game before you would hit that grey that was standing right in front of you.

Great topic. Awesome game. Hoping HotS makes it even more awesome. Although I am not playing due to not having enough time to devote to it properly I am still watching major tournaments.

[quote who="Satrhan" reply="34" id="3057528"] quoting post However: We absolutely want to reduce the number of city improvements in the game. Fewer, more interesting city improvements is the goal so feel free to suggest how we can consolidate what we have to improve on city differentiation. This I can only applaud. I really hated how cities became huge map covering blobs in EWoM, and I was sad to see it was carried over into FE. Having to keep building certain bui

I wish I knew how to quit you.[/quote] Lol this completely fits how I feel :D Even with crappy WoM I spent years coming back to this board at least once per week and was hoping the next patch will be "The One". And now with FE I got a good feeling but if it is better then WoM but not The One I will be stuck here forever waiting again. And I am going through the same ordeal in Path of

[quote who="Sir_Linque" reply="22" id="3056024"]To be really honest, it feels like a lot of pointless extra work to me if I have to design new units with pre-designed stats that you have already made for faction X just because I am playing faction Y. I would understand if all these special units had traits that only the faction could use (like the Umber Poison Vials example you gave), but if I can make the *exact* same special "unique" unit with Kraxis that Altar gets pre-created,

Why are people using Skyrim as an example of good RPG system? Skyrim is really bad system, the game is only fun because it is as mindless H&S as Diablo games.

I hope Terra Nova and the other "awesome" Spielberg production Falling Skies dies and goes to hollywood hell for crap TV shows.

[quote who="Stant123" reply="10" id="3038355"] Quoting unacomn, reply 9Seriously, why in the nine hells did they rename what was left of EA LA to Victory Games, only to then rename it again to Bioware? Don't forget, it was originally Westwood Studios (The creators of Command & Conquer) before EA bought them out and changed it to EA LA.[/quote] Yes and then most of WS people left EA. For instance Dustin Browder went to Blizzard and became the main designer for S

As a person that played a lot of Birth of the Federation (BOTF) multiplayer matches, I would suggest you cut MP if you cannot do combat for it. In BOTF playing all those turns, researching better ships and weapons, building your perfect armada while trying to get ahead economically or sabotaging the other player would mean nothing if in the end you couldn't have that big fight that would decide the winner. If it was only Click->you win (or you lose) I would have

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="101" id="3022402"]BTW, if you think WOM v1.4 is "worthless" I can tell you right now that you will find FE worthless too. So if that's really your opinion, you should go find a different game. Heroes VI is out and so is Sword of the Stars II, you might want to check them out. [/quote] Well my wording was a bit too strong but I stand by my comment that I would have never bought E:WoM without a promise of a fix through expansi

[quote who="Lantros" reply="95" id="3022219"]@TorinReborn If i were SD, i would let you pay for E: FE, just to show you the only difference between free or not. The truth is that it doesn't matter. Your opinion may be different from mine but we are both getting FE for free and it looks like it's going to rock. Everything else is just your opinion, totally irrelevant and unable to change anything. So just enjoy the game. This![

How many products have you bought in your live that didn´t fill your expectations, how many food have you bought only to find out, that itdon´t fit your taste? What did you do? Do you went in the store: "Hey, this is not what i expected. I will kept it anyway, but i´ll take this *any other related product* for satisfaction." How did t

[quote who="Lantros" reply="83" id="3021756"] Actually in most western countries there are consumer protection laws that let you return defect items and get a full refund. So this is like that, but instead of full refund we were promised 2 free expansion. [/quote] Actually, ALL Stardock products (games and non-games) provide full refunds for users who run into material technical issues with our software. We never want people to feel like they&

About free FE. It is not free, I payed for it when I bought WoM. I knew WoM was crap at the time and Brad already promised FE and another expansion for free. So I payed for a game I knew I would not play much or enjoy for a hope to get a game in the future that I will. By buying WoM I basically preordered FE and the next expansion for years in advance. I credited Stardock without knowing if they are going to deliver. At the time these 2 expansion were real expansions, not new games. So you co

As it is DRM free you can also patch the torrented version without any problems. And let the terrorists win? No way! [/quote] What terrorist? You will need to explain that one :D

[quote who="wbino" reply="54" id="3020600"]I must be getting old...got up to the FIRST big boss a swamp monster and couldn't be bothered to spend hours beating him, so I stopped playing. As I get older I don't seem to have the time or patience to do RPG's. I still have the desire, just not the time.[/quote] Or do as I did, go online and read the easiest way to beat it. You also got videos to show you how to do it. I also hate these console fights where you win by pressing
