[quote who="Beric01" reply="193" id="3089172"]-snip-[/quote] Did you just go on about realism and then at the end suggest that archers can carry an unlimited amount of arrows? [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] Funny how systems are only "gamey" when you don't like them...but infinite arrows seems pretty gamey to me.
[quote who="Stupidity10" reply="191" id="3089099"] Quoting Fistalis, reply 189What wrong with limiting Shots depending on the type of quiver? It's like putting paint over a crack in a support column Champions high initiative growth was the main problem (there are others). It allowed them to kite anything once they reached like lv 10. Fix the stat mechanics that create the problem not just add an artificial limit [/quote] So in y
[quote who="Stupidity10" reply="186" id="3089073"] Thanks for info seanw3, was worried about those quivers[/quote] What wrong with limiting Shots depending on the type of quiver? More shots = more movement penalty
[quote who="seanw3" reply="185" id="3088995"]That is only a cosmetic change. There is no limit on arrows.[/quote] I would have to wonder why it was listed in the features section and not in the cosmetic section if that were the case. Could vary well be that the large near unlimited ammo quivers reduce movement.. and small limited quivers allow kiting.. giving you the choice. This would prevent Built units from kiting indefinately but still allow a well built up hero to do so.<
I'm just surprised there are Bioware fan boys after they were bought by EA and EA renamed half their studios Bioware...[e digicons]:grin:[/e] Seriously though.. the industry has to remember that although yes the demographics of Gamers has changed over the years.. a large chunk.. maybe even a majority of their customer base are that age where raging hormones and a sense of entitlement are quite common. Many companies even go so far as to target this de
[quote who="Murteas" reply="35" id="3089003"]Wow....most of the posts have been complaints. What a depressing thing to see after posting about several weeks of work. Some of you need to take some happy pills and get over your quibbles. You haven't even played the game yet and are already predicting doom because of a few of the changes. I say "Way to go Stardock!". A lot of work, and you have fixed many of the things

[quote who="seanw3" reply="53" id="3087104"]But they are making economic decisions to gain sales and save money. In capitalism, that is the right move. It's a terrible system, but it's the best system we have. They would only fail if they tried to keep up to your unwavering principals. Steam will offer thousands of more users. So following your logic, you want them to fail if they try to survive, but you want them to survive if they allow themselves to fail? It's not like they all
[quote who="seanw3" reply="50" id="3087079"]I guess my principals are based on cost. What am I paying to play a game with Steamworks? I have to pay money and allow some data collection. I have to give up some rights to the software, but I generally get access to a cloud network. I have had Steam since Counterstrike: Source came out. Never had a problem as a customer. As far as Stardock games, in my opinion you are getting some extremely great service and guarantee of quality. Supporting
*Yawn* If you don't like steamworks based games don't buy them. What I hate is people who complain about steamworks but still purchase games that use it. People who lack the courage of their convictions. I personally made the decision not to purchase any game that requires steamworks. At this point there is no point in getting pissed when another dev or publisher decides to use it. Just means I won't buy the game. Sure my one sale doesn't mean much.. bu
We'll the usual response is to limit the number of shots per battle by archers. While that sort if makes sense its also feels slightly forced when its an extremely low number. What archer only carries 10 arrows? Quiver Items could determine the number of shots an archer might get per round. Larger ones decreasing movement more, being heavier. So with a smaller quiver Kiting is viable.. but only for 5 or 10 shots. Alternatively th

First of all, Total Annihilation: Kingdoms has excellent looking 2D backrounds and 3D units with an excellent animation for its time.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="7" id="3084082"]Civ V is a great game. Very excited to hear about this expansion. I have never had problems with it crashing...to compare it to WoM is pretty drastic.

WoM never became good. All my op
Oh look they are adding some of the stuff that should have been in vanilla. Good of them to milk the fans of the series who were loyal enough to buy that POS by adding things like "reworked diplomacy" and combat... which is still broken in vanilla.

[/quote] Doesn't matter it requires me to agree to steams contract in order to play the game. Don't expect your customers to agree to 2 or 3 different TOS contracts in order to play your game. I shouldn't need to hire a lawyer in order to purchase a game.
Paradox sold out to STEAM.. they started gamers gate.. and a few years later they are requiring their games to run through steam. They can Kiss my @##. I have no love for paradox at this point given the fact that they sold out.
