We did write USER reviews and FE got around a 73 why do you want more?
[quote who="Emperor_Nero" reply="192" id="3273534"] Quoting willie sanderson, reply 189 Quoting KingHobbit, reply 151I disagree with all ^ I definitely want fantasy races like Master of Magic. It's a fantasy game afterall so bring in the fantasy races. Especially hobbitssssss I'd rather play an original game than a Tokenesque pastiche. As I said in one thread, it would be a disservice to the game to slap
[quote quoting="post"]roads in river tiles don't seem to do much. i think it would be awesome if we could get bridges across rvers, automatically built whenever a road crosses a river (after discovering a certain tech?) that would allow the road to operate at normal efficiency for units walking along it, and not get slowed down by the water. [/quote] Poor idea we don't need bridges. Fjords maybe....bridges nope. ;)
[quote who="KingHobbit" reply="151" id="3271925"] Quoting Lord Xia, reply 149 I don't want standard fantasy races. Lets add races that are in the lore that haven't previously been playable. Edar? Iru? Maybe Sions as a race of it's own? And the Drath should make a comeback too. Quoting Emperor_Nero, reply 148 I don't want to see fantasy races in FE. I am not sure why people d
GREAT IMPROVEMENT over 1.0 If you have the machine to run this game it's great. If you're trying to play with a rellic then yeah you're gonna have poor performance. Spend some money get a good machine and put granny to bed. ;) Also turning off all unrequired and un-needed programs in task manager helps as well. You really only need explorer and taskeng running in the background. (besides the actual game of course lol)
Please make a random ai that copies every move the player makes sort of a whatchamacallit doppleganger is it? But, with just a pinch more power so when the smarty pants come waltzing over with their power stacks or using their power spells this ai will also. That would be sooooooooo awesome and I would just love the cries on the forums of how the ai is cheating. lol There's two great games I've seen developers do this with so far and one was a recent MMO "Guild Wars" and
You got 50k sales above and beyond all the free editions you handed out? I'd say that's quite impressive considering the first games reviews and the users scores coming in at Metacritic are in the 7.3 range. Yes quite impressive indeed. As far as the map pak I'd be interested if they were a "CLOTH MAP" boxed edition as I always enjoyed the cloth maps of the Ultima series and hung them on my walls with pins in them at points of interest. I still have my giant 48"
[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="5" id="3267865"] Quoting willie sanderson, reply 3 As well it should. The best way to beat a humaaan player for the AI is to raze his/her cities upon capture! WAD Keep up the good work Brad et al. There is a five turn limit until you are able to raze a city. The AI is ignoring it. So, no, this is not WAD. [/quote] The ai shouldn't have to wait 5 turns it's the ai afterall. WAD Keep up the good work
I'd say road bugs and most movement bugs are unimportant compared to everything else. Just learn what's what and deal with it. ;)
[quote]I should note, both of these games bore me after about 30 minutes with their simplistic game play.[/quote] I stopped reading there ^ because that PROVED you aren't a good reviewer.
I recommend to any and all before you buy from Steam look for another source to get your games from like Gamersgate, GoG, Gamefly, and of course independent publishers/distributers like Matrixgames, Shrapnel, Slitherine, HPS simulations and others. Make sure when you buy from them they don't say 3rd party client source required because that usually means STEAM gestapo SS!! Remember EA games and distribution are like STEAM now also and they are even worse than STEAM.
Disagree on Diplomacy and feel that is something that should be almost completely removed except for trade agreements as when a human player gets an alliance with a computer AI he/she is just WEAKENING the computer AI's position. Only trade agreements should be allowed to bargain for and that only until the time of war between the two begins. This was how Master of Magic did it. In the beginning it was pretty easy to get some trades with the AI but as the game progressed in
[quote who="joasoze" reply="10" id="3269046"]Its not the 7 that is the problem, its the fact that the reviewer doesnt get the game and he it holding it against FE. An example of a hopeless statement in my opinion: "the overall problem with Enchantress's early game: you have to go out and explore and gain experience, but you are too often punished for doing so." Is he suggesting that FE should be like a docile zoo where you are in no dange
[quote who="joasoze" reply="8" id="3269031"]If you read the gamespy review, you would wish that the major sites never touched TBS. Its pathetic. [/quote] THey gave it a 7 that was about what was expected by the masses that voted in the Metacritic thread. This about the AI made me laugh [quote] Its suicidal logic seems to be, "Now that you've taken my capital and main fortress, you're in big trouble!"[/quote]
That's ok there's plenty of PLAYER reviews and those are coming in around the LOW 70's. It's going to get average reviews because of the first one as when you leave a bad taste in someones mouth it's hard to convince them the 2nd round is better. ;)
I agree the AI does NOT CHEAT, what happens is that it gets to SOME UNFAIR ADVANTAGES and HANDICAPS. Now I'm not against advantages and handicaps and even to the point of UNFAIR as long as the DIFFICULTY setting is high or highest I don't even see UNFAIR advantages and handicaps. I know the AI can only be programed to do so much in a game. The more stuff there is to do in a game the lesser the AI is going to be. Take a game like Warlords IV vs this game or the Total War game and
I told you all ntino was a troll a long time ago and you're still FEEDING him? lol He played one game (and didn't even finish it mind you) and now he's an EXPERT on what's wrong with the game and how out of balance it is etc. etc. lmao. I guess we need posters like this for a little LAUGH from time to time but basically they are to be IGNORED and NOT FED. ;)
[quote quoting="post"]Verga captured one of my cities and razed it the very same turn, denying me the chance to re-capture or re-build it. [/quote] As well it should. The best way to beat a humaaan player for the AI is to raze his/her cities upon capture! WAD Keep up the good work Brad et al.
[quote]I suppose this could be Brad's cruel punishment for savescumming [/quote] I certainly hope so and this DOESN'T need to be fixed at all. WAD! This will teach those save scummers lol and a perfect balance to keep the AI fairly balanced vs the player. :)
[quote who="Okimosy" reply="390" id="3266713"]I hated steam when it first came out and tried to avoid it for as long as i could. It bugged on my PC pretty often resulting in WIN reinstallation. I hated it when the new games like CivV started to come out only via Steam, but i quickly changed my mind and began an excessive Steam user nowadays. The thing with Steam that pleases me the most is its recent price policy that depends on your region. It allows me to buy games here in Russia
[quote who="kaiapo" reply="31" id="3267001"]So easy to be a troll these days. [/quote] Yes, because MOSTs definition of Trolling is when you don't agree with the person you're calling a troll. lol I've never seen troll so misused. The new definition is: If you don't agree with me then you are a troll. If I don't agree with you then you are a troll. If you say anything against what I think then you are a troll. lol
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="5" id="3266886"]So you can't have your game character eat it? So, can not use magic or play as Resoln and get demons and stuff either? I'm sorry, I'm not religious, so I didn't know that religious rules transferred into what your game characters do. [/quote] Oh yes, you're not suppose to even PLAY demon or ghost or magic oriented games it's in the scriptures. ;) While he/she is complaining about one
[quote] Anyway, the point here being, what are your feelings on Steam these days?[/quote] I don't like my GAME LIBRARY being OWNED by the 3rd party namely Steam. I've read horror stories of Steam banning accounts and thus the buyer/customer loses ALL Of his games he BOUGHT and PAID for. Yeah I know games are merely licensed these days but that crap wouldn't hold up in a real court if it got down to it. There's consumers rights above and beyond EULA&#
Well, I'm not satisfied yet. ;) I want an Ancients game made by Stardock et al. Starting with the birth of ROME into the FALL of ROME. I want colorful pewter looking counters written to the PC of course. :) I want the best AI possible, nooo I DEMAND the BEST AI possible. Slitherine tried but they failed miserably. KOIOS Works started but didn't finish and all we got were a few scenarios with some colorful terrain and units. Rome 2 Total War is coming but somehow I just don't
@DeadlyJulia: If you haven't already played you should find a copy of Warlords IV and get the 1.04 or 1.05 update. It has one of the hardest ai's I've seen in awhile and Prince difficulty and above it will literally massacre you without a heavy retinue of leaders. (You can save and carry over 3 leaders per game max). I eventually had to start out less than Prince to build up my retinue of Leaders that I could eventually deal with the AI of the higher difficulties. It was quite cha
