[quote]Adding unrest penalties with lots of cities is sure to make conquest a negative at some point. This is an inherent result of the mechanic; it cannot be avoided.[/quote] WRONG! Because just like in Civilization you don't have to TAKE POSSESSION to conquer the map. You merely just RAZE the cities that cause you problems. No maint no revolts no unrest. ;) Plus if you take the SLAVE trait all the more
I don't see it being needed as there's always waste in production if you've ever worked in manufacturing. A lot of it is human waste but it's waste just the same. No, not that kind of waste but humans taking extra breaks, going to the restroom before their break then going again after their break. THen their bs session waste of time until a supervisor or management walks near or by. There's a lot of TIME wasted in building somethi
It's very simple get a BEASTLORD champion as soon as possible and then you will rule the world from then on. ;)

Thats not the point, the point is how many people would enjoy multiplayer and for how many its very unimportant and what effort would it take for Stardock to make it multiplayer. From the type of game its rather likely that few peop
[quote who="AM_Shark" reply="1" id="3325053"]i was not able to purchase it because i did not have the Steam version. Steam said sorry you need the game to buy this. [/quote] That is very hellpful information. No map pak for me.
I'm thankful they haven't wasted TIME and RESOURCES on multiplayer yet. Galactic Civilization II proved we don't need a multiplayer aspect to enjoy a great game. It also proved by putting ALL the RESOURCES into a SINGLE SOLO playing game that an AI can FINALLY be produced that is challenging to MOST humaan players. I perfer this method of production and hope it continues out of Stardock et al. ;)

I tried it on my Netbook and it crashed and crashed. Wouldn't work at that resolution. Best bet is to get some laptop that will handle 1024x728 minimum and then it will probably work.
Whatever happened to that statement Brad made about "Gamers Bill of Rights"? I thought he was highly against sites like Steam? When did he turn Benedict Arnold?

[quote who="Darxim" reply="48" id="3324924"]What I don't like about Steam is that it makes my games take much longer to load (especially if I have no or slow Internet connectivity), and it leaves itself running when the game is done. I also don't like the in-game pop-ups it does. What I do like about Steam is it makes purchasing games, and managing installs and save games across two computers, easier. The Workshop is a nice feature, as well. It also
Yeah those shooters and simulators are for epeeners anyways I have no use for shooters or simulators. That's why I always run a mid level video card. I been looking at a 7850 or 7870 though for my next upgrade.
[quote who="Borg999" reply="25" id="3324771"] Quoting Ashnal, reply 24 You're kidding right? We have four different victory conditions, only two of which require the application of brute force (Conquest and Master Quest) All of which rely on the power rating. Ever try a diplo victory when your power is lower than the AI's? Ever try a magic victory when all of the AI's are piling on you? Fire is useles? What about firesto

[quote who="OliverFA_306" reply="2" id="3324776"]I just realized that under the apparent simplicity of this game there are many things I still have to discover. Beastlord? sounds really fun to play! [/quote] Yes it's a choice you have for profession and you can charm some beasts in the game like bears and wolves and spiders and pantherlike creatures. It's better than summons in the early game any ole day specially those cave bears. wow.
I want SPIDER MOUNTS!!
[quote who="ErikCurre" reply="3" id="3324676"]The game does support 64 bit systems. It just doesn't take advantage of the extra memory available. I am running Windows 8 64 bit, 8 gigs RAM, with a Radeon 7850 graphics card, and it runs like a dream. I can play for hours without a crash. Problems like what you're experiencing are typically related to the graphics card. I suggest sending an e-mail to Stardock; they are generally pretty responsive and helpful

I have two of these suckers (playing Beastlord) and a couple of Large Spiders ROck is one forget the other one. But, these Cave Bears are frickin awesome. They have this skilled called MAUL and they get to continuously strike at an opponent until they MISS (opponent dodges). Oh man I've seen these two things take down giants (ogres and elementals) with this skill. I got these puppies early in the game and have been just wiping the map with them. Of co

[quote who="Star Adder" reply="3" id="3324738"]Well, in MoM mages had a single fireball at their disposal, so that request would follow the spirit of MoM. if it's not too hard to implement: why not! Allthough mages are quite powerful as they are atm even without an additional fireball. Maybe they could be transported a bit further up on the tech tree or mad more expensive in terms of ressources and/or laborwork. Just rember how long it took to build a magician guild in MoM...

[quote who="Rhaegor" reply="37" id="3324745"]I wonder if in another 10 years people will still be complaining about Steam. [/quote] Doubt it as Steam probably won't be around by then. Bankruptcy an all that. Surely you guys didn't think the Euro government and the US Supreme court were going to let them get away with taking away consumers rights forever?
The ability to WAIT instead of just pass. Sometimes I want a certain unit to go last but I don't have this choice because I don't get one. Civilization, Alpha Centauri, MOM even AOW I think had this feature. WAIT is very necessary when trying to tame a creature as if it fails then I have all my other units if I could WAIT them to pulverize it afterwards. ;)
