[quote who="Raven X" reply="143" id="2714467"] More often than not building a new system for me means actually Saving Money by putting back a $100 or so a month until I have a couple thousand saved up to build a new machine with.

If they are very unique and memorable, and behave different, just a shining example of how specialized things can be, might be okay. Otherwise, this seems to be a pretty small number to throw together some cliché monsters. Definitely agreed. It's "possible" those 50 different traps and structures might spice things u

They could have cut out 15 missions without any consequences, compressed a few missions with smart writing and added in two seperate campaigns and given a real sequel to Starcraft. A lot of people argued that we were getting 1/3rd of a game. Well, content wise, that's not true - th

Reply to How long will the average MP match last? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

That would be depending on map size, players, number of AI's and how fast you do your turns. I guess anywhere between 1 hour (2 players, tiny map, no AI) and a couple of month (32 players, huge map). I dont know about drop-in, sorry.

Starcraft 2 is €60. The simple fact of the matter is that the UK is enjoying price ranges right now that were set a couple of years ago when the pound was stronger. It's devalued considerably against most western currencies since 2008 so I wouldn't expect those

Also, DoW has always focused on one race at a time? Another big thing is that DoW's expansion packs aren't required and you get all the free content without having to rebuy it to play on MP. No split community. The only difference is you can't play the new race on

Reply to Sigh... you had me in War of Magic Elemental Forums

You will need to log into Impulse to get the patches. That should not be a problem, since you already have an account (the reason you can post here). If you register your game in Impulse you can at any time redownload the game or patch Elemental, after logging into your account (which you already have). AFAIK you wont be able to download patches seperatly, which is the only anti piracy measure Stardock has. No other DRM, you dont even need the disc to play after installation.<

Just click the farm (if it is in your influence) and choose build. It is not a cheat, it is working as intended as of BETA 3C i believe. The farm will then provide its resource to the nearest city. It was made so you dont have to snake your cities across a map to get resources.

It's not so bad (or at least not so obvious) if it's done by another company, but even Squaresoft realised that they couldn't make the same plot over and over again (have a look at Final Fantasy IV, the first game to shake the storyline up). The fact they don't even attempt to explore anyth
