We need to keep in mind that the game was not intended at first to have MP.. this has led to some of the problems in making it work.. let alone making it work on time for release.. I am sad that it was not able to be done right in the fashion many of us hoped for by release.. Honestly at this time I think it would be smarter to launch the first MP as the MP beta so it can be looked at by many eyes and evil minds.. no matter how hard we want it to work some times making multi-pla

Brad recommended a complete fresh install so yah its a good idea... and yes pre-load not available yet.

[quote]Ultimately, the best players will be able to respond to threats using the least amount of resources[/quote] and in a variety of differing ways... even in beta 4 there are several way to get faster troops.. I usually start making peasants on turn 2 to slow population growth while i build my housing... so as not to have a turn or two, stuck at max population.. these usually suffice as early troops when backed up by Sovereign and/or summoned help.. not to mention if a few heroes w

professions example: adventurer (which adds +1 move currently) trait example: stubborn (Sovereign does not escape combat) those 2 I can post from memory..

As far as hoping for massive changes/tweaks (not that these suggestions are) until day 0 simply because at this point we do not know what is or is not in.. let alone they may not have time to make some changes at this point.. the game they are currently tweaking is a lot different then the bare bone skeleton that is beta 4.. I am not suggestion we stop thinking just that we stop putting the before release type of thoughts into it.. We need to see where we are at an

Good question I can see my currently cast spells under the enchants tab but I do not see a limit used to be x number of boxes I assumed that was the limit but now that I think of it I do not know if that was it or not LOL.... any one else got info in this?

[quote who="DalamarNZ" reply="29" id="2716995"]"Brilliance" has a duration of indefinite - which means without definition, so it could be 1 turn or 100 turns. Is it meant to be Infinite, or a random duration spell?[/quote] as was mentioned it lasts as long as you want it to however it takes one of your Sovereigns enchantment slots.. the number of slots available are the limiting factor on these spells...

IIRC flight is something we may see in an update / expansion ...

I am the first to admit that I do not like Steam over Impulse but that is because I do not like having to run steam (even in offline mode) for the games I do not play online.. However, I do use steam for the games I can't get from the Gamestop I work at or Impulse.. That said the only other thing I do not like about steam is the steam only releases... for that matter I do not like any release that has only one source of distribution.. I like owning the Dis

I am not surprised as my understanding is that there are some issues involving customs that can cause quite a delay when shipping to retail Canada.. Its why I get a lot of Canadian customers at the Gamestop i work at.. BTW Gamestop and EB games are owned by the same company for those that did not know... this is not the first game release that we saw way before Canada..

Odds are that if a store had a copy (and it is possible as the could be in route to stores as of Wednesday / Thursday ) its placement on the shelf was in error... I can tell you for a fact that my Gamestop (as in the store I work in) did not have any in store at all as of yet and probably wont have.. Its all dependent on the planed ship to retail date. In many cases the release day means one of 2 things at the store front level.. for example at Gamestop: game ha

[quote who="RisingLegend" reply="23" id="2716946"] The spider option is cool, but what is the 'human' alternative techwise? It seems you are almost forced to go for summons/creatures early game because you will not have the pop to be able to recruit any kind of decent sized army, nor the tech or material to equip them properly. What is the balance here? I'm beginning to think I won't like the early game. my concern as well[/quote]

Let me toss in my Kudos and thanks to Stardock for daring to be who they are.. I also have played the galciv's and expansions, Demigod, and sins .. as well have bought several other games through impulse.. All because of what they do.. its easy to see they love to play great games by the support they put improving, expanding and fixing what they don't like... Carry on Stardock.. [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

Yup ..well worth the read... now if i can just survive until the Sunday/Monday Gold version treat! [e digicons]:drool:[/e]

Nice catch, thanks for the heads up...

Awesome sauce for the win... [e digicons]:w00t:[/e]

Gamestop and others I am sure list a limited edition... however normally these are only available for a short time... If you are interested I would pre order it or you risk not getting one.. I work at game stop.. when a pc game releases with a limited edition we and no one pre orders it we get 1 or 2 of each regular and limited edition for release... I cant tell you how many time (other then to say more often then not) some one wants one but did not pre order an we cant get them one the very

[quote]AI is a lot more then just implementing features though. It's not what the AI is capable of doing as much as when does it decide to do it, and does it make sense. In fact it's often better not to implement features at all unless you know the AI will be able to use them apropriately. Figuring out how well a feature is being used and what changes should be made often takes a long time as you may need to play through a game many times and at many levels of difficulties and circumstances

Best bet is to contact sales directly either by phone or vie email.. This link will get ya started.. https://www.stardock.com/support/

This is a good idea for a future update / mod / campaign.. If we poke Bard and Company I am sure we can get their creative juices a flowing on a new campaign where we build our castle and the supporting community around it to fend of an evil horde of rabid cave squirrels or other nefarious types... Ala Neverwinter Nights style.. Ya hear that Stardock Gang new idea for the potential "expansions/alternate campaign modes" boards (if a white board with these ideas does not exhist ye

Wooo Hoooo... what a wild ride... now its time for to saddle up for the next ride... Bring on the expansions, content paks, mods and more!... Yeeeee Haaaaawaaa!
