[quote who="sweatyboatman" reply="18" id="3254114"]They should rename the "Explore" button the "Go And Die" button. And then they should take it out of the game. Does anyone use this feature?

I checked my production for a pioneer for easy screenshotting, so I co

My guess is, if the early-game is easy and manageable, (or its easy to learn how to play), then it will have a rather high rating due to its unique identity among games, and there are actually a lot of cool ideas in the game. If the early-game is too hard or difficult to learn, then it will go waaay down from what the game "should" have earned... Right now I am mostly concerned about the early game for Elemental's release. After release, I will be concerned somewhat equall
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="44" id="3254069"]I'm pretty sure Derek made some changes to this. Specifically, I think in faction creation you now get more total points but that some of the really big faction abilities cost 2 or 3 points or something.[/quote] quick easy fix :) As a player I would of course always want more interesting choices, but this will help even out the choices. Sincerely ~ Kongdej
[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="19" id="3254031"]What's going on over there, anyway? I haven't heard from Brad or Derek on the forums. Things are quiet. Too quiet...[/quote] I bet they are stressed ATM, they probably both have last-minute projects Sincerely ~ Kongdej
Had a game just today where I was running around without building cities, pretty hard on the ridiculous difficulty setting but I found 1 bug. If I try to attack a monster in my turn (pretty quickly after gaining turn) and the AI decided to attack the same monster, the game will move the AI to the monster, have the AI win over the monster (In this case) and the game would then "freeze" up, I was still able to move my mouse, view the unit details, but I could not move either of my units

O_o The early-game is so devoid of useful weapons, >_ While I always hope to loot a shadow-dagger early, I still hope for someday when I wont pick daggers over maces ^^ (nonmagical daggers, 6 attack version) Sincerely ~ Kongdej
[quote who="acare84" reply="13" id="3253984"]Please don't turn this thread to Steam hate thread. And finally I am asking for Steam version only, I don't care Stardock's DRM free version.[/quote] Its fair to ask for the in-game achievement's to be ported as steam achievement's too (If you in game click "Ctrl+Tab" there will be an achievement's tab. Personally I don't know what it takes to activate steam-cloud but usually see it supported by all games

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="6" id="3253885"]Right now, it's mostly about ZoC for Cloud Walking, because I'd rather rush a pioneer for ~100 gold than spend 50 mana.[/quote] When using enchanters, I usually use pioneers too ^_^ Mana have so many uses compared to gold, and if everything fails I probably got the alchemy spell through quests.

Wow... =/[/quote] Shh, I am old and grumpy like that ^_^ Have been pretty distracted of late, but I too have thanked stardock several times for being on the Forum, being nice, but will also add my thanks here too. Not because I have gotten the game freely (I purchased it earlier in the beta), but it gives a vote of confidence to know about a company, t

[quote who="seanw3" reply="10" id="3253545"]Maybe Pariden should get -1Hp per level, but +2Hp per earthshard? That could be a nice balance. It pushes them to really go after shards.[/quote] O_o, I think paridens shardbonus is rubbish, I would never get enough earthshards to even the score even a tiny bit. I get way more levels than I get earthshards, and the tiny boost to resist and mastery is also pretty useless. On average I am at the point where I am not putting new posts u
