I'm a little surprised at this type of backlash. We all knew SD's DLC business model already. We've seen the hasty map pack, the shallow quest pack, the small loot pack, and the unfinished Undead pack. The Leaders pack possibly has more code than all of the others put together. I'm not saying it's 'bad' quality. It's just 'expected' quality, and for me, it's just not $5 quality...so I'll wait until it was 5

[quote who="Borg999" reply="177" id="3461162"] Nonetheless, I don't think bug fixes should be included under the umbrella of version releases. Instead I think they should be hot fixed. [/quote] but that would be a business model decision... Personally, I'm fine with packaging fixes in with updates....so long as the updates are timely. I haven't played LH for 4 monthes because of the beastmaster bug and the building rotate bug. If update

If so, tossing this link there will help players find the update. :)
Here's another item that really annoys me. I'm trying to start up a GalcivII game at the moment, but this frustration exists in Legendary Heroes as well: The Map generator has MUCH to be desired for. Imo, the game is not worth playing unless you start in the middle of the map. If there was map-wrap, that would completely fix the problem....but there isn't...so the problem persists. There is nothing more frustrating than knowing you have already won the game b
I am hoping that the the manual rotation of placed buildings has been re-enabled.
I'm going to be approaching the Spouses DLC with some hesitation and patience and not purchase it right away. The Undead DLC still requires a lot of balancing work, especially for the AI to be able to play them. Until that's dealt with, I just think Spouses DLC will simply introduce similar balance problems.
IMO, there is something about the Mid-Late game challenge that is very lacking about LH and increasing the difficulty simply isn't the solution as doing so also increases the early game difficulty, which I think scales quite well. So, it's more involved as you transition through a game from early to mid-late. I think several factors contribute: While minor, the game could use more mid-late game content (quests, events, units, spells, l
[quote who="Xerberus86" reply="20" id="3459828"]i just hope that stardock will find the time to repair their dlc, i am sorry but if i pay for an extra faction then please let also the AI be able to handle the faction. this is a singleplayer only game! [/quote] I would consider this to be a reasonable request. From the 1.6 changelog, we can clearly see that SD is not adverse to updating DLC content. Hopefully this means that they have someone working on the undead. <p
What difficulty are you running at? I run at challenging and never see those sorts of things happen....

Arguably, the best way for people to protest is with their wallets. Don't fly that airline if you are opposed to the airlines policies.

If summons are to be mulit-castable, I think in addition to the increased mana upkeep, you would also require casting delay for the stronger summons. You are correct in that the AI does not know how to play the undead well. I was really hoping SD would take the gaming community serious on this point and introduce some positive changes that mods have brought out to help make the undead more challenging when used by the AI.
I agree. It would seem logical that the stronger summons would have upkeeps greater than 1 man per turn. Also, the upkeep status in the unit's properties should also include mana upkeeps in addition to gildar. (Fame too for the that matter in case future heros exist that require consist Fame upkeep to stick around)

Wild shot in the dark here but this could be your video card overheating. Laptop forcing shutdowns to avoid critical failures? LH is very graphic intensive...took out my card (though in my defense, my card was 6 years old)
[quote who="Mistwraithe" reply="5" id="3458906"] Quoting GFireflyE, reply 2I really miss building upkeep costs. Having to plan out your economy around what buildings you want to build in what cities was always an interesting challenge to overcome. I totally disagree. I much prefer the Civ 4 model to the Civ 3 model where the optimal build for most of your cities if often nothing (or just troops) because the maintenance costs of buildings means that only a few cities sho
[quote who="Alstein" reply="169" id="3458805"] The expanded gameplay change I currently want the most in LH is individualized heroes, which I believe should be backportable from the next game (I think you said that was a feature) Given how that game turns out, I might want more features from that game backported to LH, many of them sound exactly like things I added or changed in LH.
