posting now so i can edit later and dont get lost in the pages. want to ask a couple questions. thanks ahead of time

Shining Rock Software. Banished This guy did a great job as a one man team. You should check it out in your spare time. Give the guy some pointers or something. He has your same mentality. I only say that because I was not the only one to mention your name in the comment section after his last Dev post. (that and I've spent hundreds of dollars on your games to date, so I thought you might listen to me) :)

This one is just for fun. [e digicons]O:)[/e] (and by the way, I was trying to help Gazing, not defame him) Say you have 2 expert widget makers at your company (This is the real world mind you) toiling away continuously making widgets (not all are perfect). One widget maker has a brain hemorrhage and... suddenly production slows to 50% instantly. What do you do?... The point I was trying to make is that the widget maker is paid by the Widget

[quote who="Rhadagast" reply="21" id="3448800"] Don't get me wrong, you can certainly make a great living being a business/game programmer, make 6 figures and all that, but these kids coming straight out college thinking the're going to get paid like a 10 year veteran crack me up.[/quote] Now I have to reply again! :) I opened my mouth for the Gazing kid. You can do all that you want in life Ga

Gazing, It's been awhile since I felt the need to write a reply. You should have stopped typing after your first line. The first line was great! I've been playing his (brads) games for at least 10 years now. What your seeing is an indi (kinda) developer making games and actually telling you how to budget in simple terms. Your long winded extrapolation of the matters of real life didn't need to happen. As a stude

Dude! You need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. I read the forum more than I play the game. And I love the game. Today when I got off work, and actually for the past couple days, I've been checking the Journal section for some of your knowledge about anything related to anything. You could tell me about your wife and kids and I would read that! I know you cant do a massive PR campaign for your next game, but the one you have now

been fan of you guys for 10 plus years. keep it up. I want your next game to be called "I Need a Vacation".

You know how many laughs i get out of this forum?. What in the hell was the rant about anyway? Primal, I love the blue because I know its you. Keep going. Your only helping the process. People love to hate. If i had more time to play the game I wouldn't have seen this. It's not an LOL. I'm really literally laughing to myself after that thread.

i recommend simply playing as a beast lord. Having direct control of those beasts will let you understand the mechanics of the game faster. Youll have a better understanding of what to attack, and what not to attack. have fun.

"defend his ice hole" [e digicons]X|[/e] I agreeeeeeee. ouch!

It's still early for me so this might sound a little nuts. The idea was, since you can use steam and all the powers of the cloud, cant you make an AI that would be able to be told when it did the wrong thing organically? Im only talking about combat on this one. So the AI shoots a fireball, for example, at a group of your troops, and you like it because it didnt hit the troop(s) that were most vulnerable. Then thinking to yourself you kinda wish they would ha

This isn't an answer for the original poster, but you can make a really cheap army that only builds roads. Give them a wooden club and the road building perk. They're pretty efficient for 3 dudes with wooden clubs.

it looks great. But at 27", (i got one) its kinda a pain to look at all parts of the ui. You got the screen full of so many good lookn' ladies that you forget to check each part of the ui before you hit the turn button. I've requested before, and will again (knowing its not easy) that to ui be able to be moved around the screen to a spot you want it. I know it wont happen, but my neck can only turn 180 degrees. A 27" scre

Just for the sake of argument; the monsters and the ai need a plan before the turn ends. If their turn ends in the same square 'presto'. it's al' dente'

You guys are crazy! [e digicons]:D[/e] Keep going... Im enjoying reading this!

well, hell... I've been playing this game for 3 years. $99 aint bad for 5 years. Might not live that long, but hey. Who cares!

Cant believe no one has mentioned it here. How do we get into the alpha?!!! I would love spending the next couple years playing that game again.

if its a spell you already have, say -fire dart-, it wont level up per-say, but after hero level ups you get a few points each time into your spell mastery i believe. early on it wont be a huge change, but later on that same spell will do quite a bit more damage and it will be less likely that the other guy can resist the spell. on the second, thats kinda something youll have to figure out on your own. There are so many ways to get stats from so many different thi

Oh my, oh my! What unrest?! You could have figured out a way to work around the mechanic by now with all the typing you did. The game is made. Enjoy it for what it is. Please dont take others what-would-be-productive-time to answer these posts. Enjoy a game thats been years in the making. Peace in the middle east.

I just want to commend Stardock. What a loyal fan you've made to have written such a long, well thought-out post. Hope all at Stardock read it because we are all your fans! Keep it up!

I think snaking is wrong, only because the AI cant use it like we can. I do what I can to snake, but I think the current balance is just about right.

For being german, your darn good at english! I wouldnt have been able to tell if not for these two little sentences. "Both make very much spell damage" It should be said something like; Both have a lot of spell damage. and the other one is; "(I hope you agree to my opinion)" You should say "I hope you agree with my opinion." "with" means that we are together in the conversation, or yo

Wholly crap is that UI way more confusing than yours. Cheers! I've played almost every total war game they ever came out with, but this one takes the cake for messing with your head. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell "zeal" means. Just wanted to throw that one out. Good work guys. Give me some more DLC please. Anyone else tried Rome 2?

Thats more of a dice role in the situation your talking about. The game has a lot of options to beat you and a lot of ways for you to win. I'd consider it a chance outcome, and be grateful you can steamroll with your new found wealth. play more and my post will make more sense. Good luck. Its fun!

It would be nice though if they had those traits already so that you didnt have to spend a level to get past them. Would be cool to have armor on a big cat too. Im not asking for that much though. Just an annoyance.
