I'm going to copy & paste comments I made to the sovreign in another post.....generates more conversation. [quote who="Malsqueek" reply="1" id="3171229"]I agree that the Sovereigns need to be better indicated as "more" than their champion counterparts. Otherwise, why don't we have 35 factions? These sovereigns are world-benders for a reason. I agree that a large portion of the solution lies in how they handle magic, but would be very against

First and foremost because of how it would dilute both the ability to gain high

[quote who="marionesi" reply="147" id="3190017"]@GFireflyE Actually you may be right, if things go messy with overlapping ZoC's of each single outpost, it may be better just avoid stacking ZoC's. As for the city types, I am happy that you agree with me, although rock-paper-scisssors may not be the best example for what I had in mind. In rps everything is random and there is no skill required to play. What I meant is that there should be reasons to go with d

[quote who="Kongdej" reply="9" id="3189495"] Quoting GFireflyE, reply 8 Auto turn would be annoying. When do you go do your city maintenance??? Pssts. Before you move your units Sincerely ~ Kongdej [/quote] But that's just not how I do things. [e digicons]#:([/e] XD

Sure, but AI isn't going to suck in the final release, is it? Stardock could design with that in mind.....simply making the 'new leader' stronger if the AI had lost the leader....

@ marionesi Step 1: Starbases: I would sooner like to see a "you get the bonus or you don't" approach. None of this 'stacking' stuff. Stacking stuff can be abused. Step 3: Fantastic idea. Obtaining a special bonus for maximizing a shard is a really cool idea. Step 4: I too

And it's funny cause they're doing a 32-bit win 8 too. It's awesome cause the people are actually having a voice this time around. Most often the mob is ignored. Companies can put out 64-bit only apps....sure, but they cut out a large portion of their sales market to do so. Hense, they've been making it 32-bit compatable to make more money. That's the cycle. Greed. Not user restrictions.

Purple is Power. nuff said.

Auto turn would be annoying. When do you go do your city maintenance??? I tend to move my troops...then do city maintenance....then do strategic anaysis. Autoturn would just get in the way of things not happening when they are suppose to.....phew....good thing there is an option to turn it off. XD

This is definately something that I've raised my eye about in FE. The leaders don't die. Why? They're on the battlefield. They are a unit. They should be able to die. It might really really suck for your leader to die.....but that's life. I propose "succession planning" be implemented. Let me explain. Your leader has just fallen. Woe is your great nation. What ever will you do? Do you give up? Do you concede? Sure, that might

[quote who="BernieTime" reply="65" id="3187900"]Microsoft announced that an upgrade to Windows 8 will be made available for $39.99, which includes upgrading from XP. There may be little excuse to remain on XP if cost was a factor in switching to 7. [/quote] "It's a TRAP!" Windows 8.... [e digicons]:puke:[/e] ....almost lost my lunch. I'll be getting win 7 before win 8 and will ONLY be getting win 7 if I'm satisfied with the way I can change

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="27" id="3189124"]What no one else would like to see a expanded tech tree where you can go from Dark Ages to Steam Punk? I think that would be awesome! The current tech that goes from crude medieval stuff to shiny medieval stuff is boring. [/quote] I've just been given a foul tech-tree taste. [e digicons]:puke:[/e] Have been playing Galciv 2, and I must say, WORST TECHTREE EVER. So much time is spent for +1 bonuses to this little thing or

[quote who="Savyg" reply="43" id="3189413"]The spyware argument is ridiculous. Steam 'spies' on your system more than Origin does. Heh. I can't believe people actually believe that garbage, but whatever floats your boat. [/quote] One of the many reasons why I refuse to use Steam.

[quote who="yuxiaodi" reply="38" id="3187767"] Colonization? Nobody mentioned this? [/quote] I totally would have in my opening post, but the cut line had to be made somewhere...not to mention that it had to go up against MoM. Colonizations IS a really good game though.

I've never used autobuild functions in any 4x game. AI can wreck things so fast. Games like Distant Worlds is especially annoying as it's a management game more than a 4x game, except that instead of managing, all you end up doing is fixing the AI's mistakes. My opinion is that this is an added and unneccessary function that should not be focused on. The point is to play the game...not have the AI play it for you.

[quote who="onomastikon" reply="100" id="3185423"] Quoting Mistwraithe, reply 97 Quoting onomastikon, reply 88 I really, really hope you will succeed in this. I have yet to see a TBS in which any queue has been able to have this power. I disagree. Civ 4 largely achieves this. Most buildings in Civ4 have no or low maintenance costs. The constraint for virtually all of the game is that you only have enough production to b

Seriously, you people are blinkered Yeah, forums sorted by alphabet and by game are really unclear and inaccessible... [/quote] That alphabet can be a real pain. XD Pheace, I see you are a major pr

[quote who="OrionM42" reply="47" id="3183945"] I'd like to add my vote/voice to Heavenfall's question! I think his statement/assumption is central to creating a great new 4X (or at least, 4X-like game); and I'd love to know your thinking on the subject, and/or get an answer to his question. Please, please, please ... This also gives me another opportunity to reiterate my own personal Mantra on this subject: <br /

WOW WOW WOW!!! This game is looking better and better all the time!!! Really like the update!! Really like the city specialization!! Really like the inclusion of Essense.....kinda like Nightshade on MoM...kinda. Really like how cities now upgrade buildings, outposts, and resources. Fantastic move! There is ONE little thing that I'm worried about from your update....you mention in the update that outposts will now be conquered like cities instead of destroye

Good Morning all So, in another recent thread I began thinking about my top 5 games. It's turned into a top 10, but I broke it back into top 5 (Dos) and top 5 (windows). Out of curiosity and fun, I welcome opinions as to what your top 5's are. I'll start: Top 5 Vintage (Dos Age) Tie Fighter Master of Magic Privateer Betrayal at Krondor Torment - Planescape Top 5 Modern (Windows Age) Dragon

Wow. Many are tossing Darmok on their lists. My list is above, but I sure never considered Darmok to be anywhere near the top... personal preferances I guess...

[quote who="Gorde" reply="22" id="3182009"]I'm amazed so many here remember MoM enough to make a comparison! [/quote] Considering that MoM is in my top 5 vintage games catagory, I always make sure it can run on my machine...just in case I get the itch to play again. Top 5 Vintage (Dos Age) Tie Fighter Master of Magic Privateer Betrayal at Krondor Torment - Planescape Top 5 Modern (Windows Age) Dragon Age<br

While not quests, I really like the way fantastic creatures can be added. Being able to summon magical beasts is only half of the experiance, imo, because every wizard can potentially do this. I came across one quest/item that I thought fit PERFECTLY. 'The Knights of Asok' quest thingy. When you conquered the location, you had the option of building those units at that city. WOW! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more of this with other fantastic creatures. <br /
