[quote who="ChungasRevenge" reply="7" id="3408853"] What I particularly like is that they did not use a cute cartoony look. I cannot stand the cartoon civ 4 characters and most ipad games have opted for the too cute look as ell. blah! I rather miss the old days where units were hadn drawn for 3d isometric games and they looked gritty and real.

Just change the title on Steam to "Elemental: Fallen Enchantress - Legendary Heroes". Any new expansions become "Elemental: Fallen Enchantress - Whatever". As soon as the next patch goes live (with the FE scenario), discontinue the original FE. How did we forget the "hyphen"? Edit, just saw this: [quote who="Frogboy" reply="60" id="3408945"] Well in the near-term we're going to keep with Elemental: Fallen Enchantress -Legendary Hero

[quote who="donovans23" reply="33" id="3408518"] I'd say Elemental 2. Or maybe just Fallen (you can have Fallen: Enchantress, then Fallen: fill in the blank, etc)[/quote] How about "Elemental II: Rise of Magic" ^ Own it like a badge of honor! (and reclaim the google search) Although to me FE + LH feel like Elemental 2, and the next would be "The Third Elemental". This line from the <a

It is - "Elemental: Legendary Heroes". (at least in my mind) You saved the Elemental brand by giving away FE & LH, don't make that a waste. Payed-for marketing goes nowhere near as far as the natural publicity from philanthropy, especially righting admitted wrongs. You've admirably stuck to your guns thus far, don't stop now. While FE's sales may not have been as substantial as LH's, it's your work on Fallen Enchantress that

[quote who="moshi" reply="47" id="3403731"] both of them look like the webOS task switcher. neither solution is good as with all them it takes to long to get to the desired app. something closer to Expose would have been better in my opinion.[/quote] Agreed, especially about the Expose bit. I still can't figure out why Google hired Matias Duarte.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="22" id="3403420"]But I couldn't. Having people coming in whose motivations were strictly about getting money for themselves as fast as they could without any serious concern about the long-term consequences was a new phenomenon and not one I enjoyed having to deal with.[/quote] ^Music to the choir. Thx. You just gave me all the reason I need to support your work for life.

I'm pretty sure WinRT is just intended as a stepping stone attempt at gaining a foothold in the mobile industry while it's still possible, until hardware gets up to par (for 1 OS to rule them all), and agree that anyone would be foolish to develop for it. TBH I would be highly surprised if MS wasn't already throwing a ton of resources into a UNIX based ecosystem. Every hardware manufacturer on the planet is. The current slump in their ingenuity may actually be

If you don't mind my asking, what was the size of the company before Impulse, during Impulse, and now?

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="22" id="3403109"] You "deserve" working software. That is what you paid for.[/quote] I'm going to guess that your pay check relies in no way on your interaction with your customers. I started typing more, but honestly I have much better things to do. Good day.

...displaced paternality, what are you talking about? i obviously got much more out of the article, as i wrote much more, including a very clear statement that i was not attempting to be obtuse. it appears you have difficulty deriving meaning from a string of sentences, because the thought did not end where you originally quoted. did you read anything else, or just get stuck on that 1 sentence? this ease-of-use that youre referring to

Now you have my attention..

@Moshi, good points! Jafo, from a reader's perspective, concluding your posts with that smiley face makes it nigh impossible to determine whether or not you're being serious. If the underlying gist of my posts is still eluding you(?), I will better explain the context behind the line you quoted. [quote who="Heavenfall" reply="10" id="3402921"]I think this is really going to hurt them in the long run. The fact that appl

TBH this looks like a pretty serious rip off of Ubisoft's work; and the graphics look quite dated because of all the platforms they're targeting. "Tribes of the East" was/is actually pretty good IMO, with some amazing mods as well. However, more competition for the genre is never a bad thing. Edit: Disciples 3 REINCARNATION ended up being pretty good too.

I suppose my earlier post could be summarized as a commentary on Nokia's rivalries, relating the "epiphany" revealed near the end of the article to Apple's mastery of marketing and opportunism, not ingenuity, which would denote progression. Personally, I don't see children sleeping with phones under their pillows as a good thing, in any way; other than targeting the economic focal point. We aren't going to get stronger by making things easier, and watching a mass

user experience is EVERYTHING... /begin rant ill give apple this one, they sure know how to design for the lowest common denominator. now EVERYBODY, AND THEIR CHILDREN, have a reason to give apple a small fortune... so they can update their facebook status from anywhere too. i knew nokia, palm (the company), and the entire rest of our species were in trouble, when somebody told me they

I'd toss Advent Children in there too.

I was up all night designing spaceships in the alpha for a pretty amazing indie called Starship Corporation, that I would be highly surprised to find this community not enjoy just as much. [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buCxVj4dVy8[/video] http://www.starshipcorporation.com/
