[quote who="seanw3" reply="16" id="2977821"]I trust Yahtzee at the escapist with most of my game buying decisions. He generally has a stick far enough up his ass to get the really bad part of game out in the open. As for EWoM, this game started out for me as a quirky successor to GalCiv2. Now its more like putting my last 1000 dollar chip on black 13 in roulette and hoping for a darkened miracle. I just don't care about money. I want to see how it all ends...[/quote]<

So basically FE is going to be like "Why did you put some strategy into my RPG?" and WOM is like "Why did you put some RPG in my Strategy?"

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="28" id="2975964"] Quoting Tridus, reply 27At the same time, graphics are pretty much a requirement. Ugly games don't sell outside of a certain niche.Brad said, and I tend to agree, that 4x TBS games are a niche. I've read this elsewhere as well (and from industry participants). But then why are games like E:WOM, and Civ4+5 willing to give up gameplay depth over graphic pretties? This niche is all about gameplay depth. The

It was the 1.2f and then again on the 1.3 version, already tried in the irc and they told me to email support and then I posted here because neither helped. There was no profanity in my message just a short message descibing my problem...

But if you look at it, their reputation is already tarnished as you can see clearly by all of the civil unrest here in the forums. If they put out another terrible game they are going to lose many, many fans. I mean I agree with the OP on this, they shouldn't release a game until it is good or playable at least.

I tried to send a mail to them and received a mail back that my email was filtered out because it was spam, when I was asking about a legit problem that I am still having. Since they won't help me, here it is: The game won't play offline, it tells me I need to download a data file in order to play it and I have satellite internet so it cant be a constant connection.

[quote who="tanafres" reply="6" id="2975240"] quoting postFor all I know I may be completely off the mark and WoM and FE may have completely different teams that work in isolation of each other - but I wouldn't be prepared to money on that horse. From what I understand, almost everybody is working on FE; WoM at this point is just a couple of guys plus Brad when he can find the time. So I wouldn't base your concerns for FE on what you feel about

I play on a laptop, and as a college student I don't have the money for a high end desktop because I am paying for an education so I can eventually get one, I play strategy games because they're usually not memory hogs. I mean I am only working with 1 gig of ram (Yeah, I know.. WTF?) and an integrated video card, so when does it become a trade off between high-end eye candy and play-ability on lower end systems? On WoM I get these weird graphical glitches with huge chunks of textures

I hope that: The game is playable The game isn't a memory hog, so that I can play a TURN-BASED STRATEGY game on the graphical map. It is a TBS, it doesn't have to look super pretty...

[quote who="dowdyhoody" reply="9" id="2972358"]Did they say that it "is" coming soon? A once not so famous president of the USA said, "that depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is." Opened up a whole new way to look at words. [/quote] Made me lulz. I think having internal testing is more important than rushing a release, like WoM was.

I am working with what my laptop's got which is a Integrated Intel Graphic Media Accelerator X3100. The drivers are up-to-date.

From a lover of MoM and just from a logical view point, if something worked and a lot of people liked it - why not make a sequel. I mean, I understand that they didn't get the rights to so they can't legally.

But you are paying 10 dollars for a mission that may only be 2 or 3 hours of gameplay, when I can wait a month or two more and get a completely new questline that is going to be 10 times that.

The only DLC I would buy would be a full expansion pack, back in the day I had Starcraft, then the expansion came out so I got it. Added entire campaigns, I mean that is the way it should be. It should add something to the game that wasn't there before. 1 or 2 mission DLCs are a rip-off, but when you get something like Dragon Age: Origins Awakening - that would be worth the 30 dollars you pay for it. It added like another 20+ hours to gameplay. DLC should add 10+ hours of gameplay

Yes, if Stardock's time table is even close to that of Blizzard's then it could be several months at the least.

Yeah, I am sorry. I have been a real dick here, I feel bad now because you guys actually seem pretty cool.

I didn't care about a box, I just wanted a jewel case and a disc. Like the 10 dollar games at walmart, but it doesn't even have to have a paper slip. I can download a pdf manual.

[quote who="joasoze" reply="1" id="2971277"]They didnt buy the code. Its useless today. They will learn more from playing the game. [/quote] No code is ever useless, that is the beauty of programming. You can update code and make something better with it. Look at the Unreal engine, they began with a simple engine and look where it is now. Its not like they started over every time. I had just read an article that said they had bought the code and w

Didn't Stardock buy MoM source code? Why not study it and figure out what you can do with it. Master of Magic was an amazing game, why not study the code and find some of the interesting features in it and bring them up-to-date? Just curious.

When I try to play the game I am still getting these weird graphical errors that I have been getting since 1.1. Like huge black lines and chunks of terrain missing, I am playing on min settings to keep the speed as fast as possible. I am not sure what is wrong because all of my graphical drivers are up to date and everything. Any help?

You are not thinking of both sides in this.

I doubt this will really be addressed, since they're cutting dynasties out of FE completely.

Maybe I am looking for something that is like a good mix of Civilization, Europa Univeralis, and Ceaser all set in a fantasy universe.. Which is why I redownloaded MoM and got all the fan patches and everything. Still a great game all of these years later.

You have a point, but I just want the inclusion of micromanagement features that is the problem with some modern strategy games they're for the ADD generation. How is the memory leaking and everything on the game now? I haven't got the play the new patch yet, I am just curious if I can finally play on the graphical map when my PC met the specs all along. Why can I only download up to patch 1.2a through Impulse?
