good post. i just want to point out that now that the game is on steam, any modifications to the core files can easily be repaired by "verifying their integrity" in the properties panel.

Throwing money at the problem is something the UN already does, it accomplishes far less than NASA is likely to on this. I'd defend NASA's budget usage sometime after hell froze over, but pissing away money on social issues without actually understanding the cause is something society already does in far greater volume than th

lol. the way these concepts are being presented to the public in and of themselves lack genuineness. im no astrophysicist, but ive studied A LOT of physics, and after spending just one hour reading through the fine print ive found so many holes in this its not funny. its all bs. the community of folks on the planet that could actually contribute to a serious discussion on these matters is so small, that this is definitely not it (unfortunately). lets all throw mo

[quote who="UnleashedElf" reply="18" id="3471460"] Is this still being updated?[/quote] It works fine with the latest version of LH (I can't play without it), although there is a bug with the Faction Power window (which I don't use).

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="95" id="3472014"]Same composer as WOM/LH/GalCiv II/III actually. He's great![/quote] Gotta admit, although the strategic map tracks in FE/LH are getting a bit old after 1k+ hours, the menu music and battle theme are still amazing. Please pass on some kudos.

good post, ty. made me think of " the 4 agreements ": be impeccable with your word dont take anything personally dont make assumptions always do your best ...extremely powerful words to live by.

1. fewer animation keyframes the most difficult aspect of reality to emulate, and most processor intensive, is not the detail, but the movement. we are constantly in motion, and subsequently so is everything in reality; in the most intricate ways. 2. attempts at detailed realism any simulation of reality will quickly become outdated and overshadowed in the blink of an eye with the progression of technology, especially these days. this is why

While I agree with your general sentiment halmal, I don't believe the two notions are mutually exclusive: both would contribute to making each city feel more unique. More specialized building trees would probably be my first line of attack. However I definitely think we're on to something here with the idea of giving each city type more specialized unit rosters and production capabilities as well. Honestly the nerfing direction discussed thus far doesn't really d

Did the soundtrack in the first video in Hf's post make anyone else reminisce about the original Transformers movie? Anyways.. It's tough to top Star Wars, but Robotech (especially "Blitzkrieg") comes in as a close second for me: [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLi7ULuqDkQ[/video]

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="123" id="3470432"] 1) VERY interesting idea...but not sure how that would work effectively unless you did the following: Towns cannot build units that require Iron or Crystal. Only Conclaves can build units that require Crystal. Only Fortresses can build units that require Iron and Crystal. (Seems odd that Crystal is added here, but does allow for the strongest units). Maybe have an available building that's Fortress onl

[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="103" id="3470255"] Even better would be a system like Fire Emblem. You could move a unit to a location as much as you want, but it wouldn't matter until you took an action with them (including passing or defending).[/quote] +1. I think the old Shining Force games had a similar system. WASD ftw. ..Perhaps in Elemental 2015, now that we're getting a fixed camera?? *Addition
