They can't worry about other games in Production for crying out loud. Chris Taylor just announced Kings and Castles from GPG. I think GPG really liked working with STARDOCK (publisher of Demigod btw), and they also liked the solid vibe of <span style="fo

The current build allows creation of units with various gear setups that can be saved. They when time comes to add to your army you can select Fabio's (in whatever flavor) you prefer for the battle at hand. I will assume a Max # of builds will be allowed with the Delete feature being enabled so the lowly guy with a stick would be deletable to be replaced with a new Fabio, with a Pike and Leather etc up the Tech Tr

Govenors? I can certainly see a use for them. I would prefer they just be AI controlled units needed to be able to run my cities at full capacity and for, say, every additional 3-5K pop.(pick a #) growth in a city and additional Govenor be required, with a ssalary cost taken from the cities coffers to maintain said cities max. growth potential/output. Outlying camps is brilliant. I would ask, politely, that Farms (

The point about watching other battles seems abit iffy to me. If I am not involved, or have LOS, then I could simply gather inportant Intel on the enemy forces I would not otherwise be privy to. Not good. As to the Auto -Resolve question. Would it be possible to segment a large force and have the AI run the Left/Right Flank portion while the Player runs the Tactical fighting s

[quote]"Do research after the game is done. Tap into the player’s brain."[/quote] In a similiar vein, sort of, I guess, this makes me think of Post-Mortem Reports. This is one thing I feel most Dev's do not do enough of. Nothing provides more insight into the Dev process than a properly

It does seem that with the Shard requirement, grabbing up Shards will be something that "HAS TO BE" done early and often if your game plan is to make maximum effect of the Magic System . So you want to be Diplomatic do you? Go for it! But remember this. I conclude all Diplomatic Meetings with <stro

Wow! Forty tile limit? Currently, as in the Beta, a 40 tile town will not be very big. [quote] "Thus, we created a system where building a smaller number of larger, older cities is rewarded."

Ah ha! Caught read handed and in Print. It was a ruse. A ploy to dupe the Beta testers. A misdirection of the mind. A practicality sheme of immense proportions, almost epic in scope.

As long as the Race/Faction has a sentient component in it, then almost anything should be doable. A race of 7 foot tall slobbering idot beasts, without the sentient hierarchy, would seem a bit far fetched if not totally unbeleivable. Perhaps as a conscripted group for another faction to use as cannon fodder, OK but then they would be neither a Kindom or Empire in and of themselves. <span style="fon

I remember someone saying how the BETA would not be FUN. Perhaps this whole thing is part of the UN-FUN? I must say though, I am starting to get more and more twitchy as every new Thursday comes and goes... [e digicons]o_O[/e] [e digicons];P[/e] [e digicons]o_O[/e] [e digicons]o_O[/e]

That is a fine Box Cover. I don't remember ever buying a game off the shelf as a compulsive buy. Most new ones run around 60+ dollars locally. A nice box cover may send me home to hit the Net Site for said game to find out the real dope, but no, a cover will never be the reason I just drop money on a game without totally researching it first, or Beta'ing it. ;) As for "who buys boxed games anymore?" If there is Box

SupCom had that issue. Due to Sniping, the Supreme Commander was a detrement to your game. He died, game over and iirc he was required to make certain advanced Techs. Hide and Seek with what is supopsed to be your MAIN dude blows chunks all over the place. It was a very sour pill to swallow, especially if you were late getting into the game, a noob, only to get wasted b
