Awesome work on this but im curious about HEAT. After playing Civ 5 and noticing heat issues on my gaming laptop that cost me 3k...Im wondering what you have noticed on your rigs running this. I know there's a difference between laptops and desktops, but after Civ 5, im always trying to be aware of heat now. I still cant entirely figure out why that game runs so hot, but just wondering if you guys have noticed anything with the latest version of FE? Im not trying t

Very awesome to be able to see everyone and put faces with the name. Also, in the last part with Derek...I liked the huge Stardock "Big Gulp" cup...can we get one? :) Very excited to see this released and will be something Im looking forward to playing when I get back from the field!

Like Frogboy said...feel free to make the spell cost as epic as you want...from 5-5000000 or what not. Personally, I found 50 to be alot, but I play games with Low magic, resources and ravaged land, so 50 mana for me is alot.

When you lower lands next to your city from mountains to hills to plains, are they suppose to become usable at hills or plains? Right now it seems only plains are usable. Was also wondering when you build your city and you slowly expand towards either forests or river/water, will it be implemented that you can then build the appropriate buildings for those(like the logging camp or dock types)? Right now im not able to do that unless I start right nex

Thanks so much for doing such a great job! Also, thanks for helping me out with my game personally and getting it to work. LOL Im such a geek, but when my wife came home I was all smiles. She was like: "What has you so happy?" I responded, "I got to talk to Derek Paxton" grinning hugely. Her response quickly nullified some of my grin "Who?" /face palm To defend my wife, I will admit she does g

I like how without metal you had to use magic to survive. Its nice to see that the magic path is just as viable as warfare...that way you have some options. Just wondering if you cast the "Spell of Mastery" how do your allies react? Are you allied in winning or do they turn on you?

I like the idea of "investing" into our champions and I rememeber in early WoM, you actually did this with you Sov. You gave of yourself to them to let them cast spells. They did away with this to what we have now, but I liked the idea. Really made them special and conncected to you in a way. I mean when you only have a limited amount to give out, you certainly dont want to lose them and it even made them a bit different than other champions. Im not saying I want

Going to uninstall and do a clean install of the new update. Not sure if this might mean anything but when I went to control panel to uninstall...I noticed(after i hit uniinstall) that FE was still on the .952 version there and not the updated 980 version. By the time I noticed it, it was too late, but thought i mention that.

Im in the same boat and hoping they will post what the fix was. I made a post myself that turned into 2 posts! Not sure how that happened other than the first post I made never showed so I made another and then boom it appeared...sigh.

Was wondering if anyone really knows how this works. If I make a spearman when I get the tech and then choose for them to upgrade when the next better spear or armor comes out, I do see when I get leather armor the option to upgrade them. However, when I get boar spear it doesnt seem like they will upgrade. Im also wondering will I be able to upgrade Spearman all the way to end game wps and armor if I edit the current spearman that I have and keep selecting the upgrade optio

Hmmm I dont fit into any of the categories above(game designer, programmer, etc) im thinking my title will be "Game playing consumer who enjoys games that make him sweat and swear, both in a good way and bad way!!" Ok...maybe that title is to big, but hey...why not!? I enjoy these articles and like the fact that even someone like me can understand them. These articles show that you guys/gals care about what you do and what we think. Why else would you put them out(unle

LOL love the cylon image haha. NO im not implying anything other then gestation is a strange word and always reminds me of aliens. I re enabled the dynasty, but so far nothing has happened. Do you still marry someone like you did in original game or does it happen randomly?
