[quote who="The_Biz" reply="29" id="3388997"] I think it needs a lot of refinement and balancing strategy game quality = proportional to how frequent, difficult, and interesting the decisions are FE/LH have a setup that allows for this, but it feels like the game can be very formulaic because there's no challenge that requires the player to adapt or think maybe the player can set up his own challe
[quote who="smakemupagus" reply="27" id="3387746"] Wow! Well, I like Stardock and I'm happy that some of you all like the game so much [/quote] I'm a huge fan of Stardock after this, and Sins of a Solar Empire. Now I need to get my hands on some of their classics, like Galactic Civilizations. How long have you been a fan of Stardock?
[quote who="edelfred" reply="22" id="3386932"] I never heard about it coming ,thanks for good news:) They are , approximately, same as FE ,but they have three affiliations for 15 races - Good ,Neutral ,Evil . 2 races are extreme ones- one is Pure Good and another is Pure Evil . You can have different races in army but there is penalty for it according to affiliation. So while Orcs and Goblins or Dark Elves can be in one army with only minor penalty for morale getting a
[quote who="edelfred" reply="19" id="3386834"] It is not the best game ever. Dominion 2 -3 are far more sophisticated on strategy map .( But you can not participate in combat there ,your task is only to provide generals with 8 different type of magic crystals so they can use em for spell casting in combat plus you can assign position of your troops) . Age of Wonder 2 has better combat system - tactical (speaking as nerd yes their strat
[quote who="Fallenchar" reply="13" id="3386331"] Resoln isn't the best per se, I just happen to like magic. Pariden is equally magicky, but winning is too easy with them being a Kingdom.[/quote] So it is easier to win as Kingdom? Is this because Kingdom's are generally easier to play, or because you can make friends more easily? [quote who="merlinme" reply="12" id="3386240"] I like the game a lot. I'd definitely put it in m
[quote who="Fallenchar" reply="9" id="3386179"] 'Best game ever' great topic title to start a heated argument or a thread full of nostalgia Anyway, I love this game and have played hundreds of hours. Lately, I feel like I am done, though, because I have finished the game with my favorite faction (Resoln) and every time I start the game with a 'lesser' faction, it's just not as much fun and I quit after a while. I guess I am ready for a ne
[quote who="Malorey" reply="7" id="3385930"] I think they should ask only the people who have played more than 1,000 hours (doesn't include me) what they would add to the game or change in the game and then wouldn't that make it the best game ever...or as close as a game could possible get to it?[/quote] Probably not a bad idea, but I wonder the actual amount of players who have devoted that many hours into the game. It seems to be the case for almost ever
[quote who="DTOM" reply="1" id="3385629"] I have been playing all the way from War of Magic to Fallen Enchantress and now Legendary Heroes. I have played hundreds of hours in the Elemental world through all these titles and two of the betas and still come back fro more. For me it holds up well to multiple play-throughs. I think my father has spent even more hours than I have but that is one of the perks of being retired for him; more time f
I picked this game up recently during the Steam summer sale, but I've had my eye on it for a while. For this genre, I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I struggled through my first play-through, but for my second attempt I decided to record my progress: [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSo6AifNCAs[/video] And here is the playlist of where I am thus far: http://ww
