[quote who="Cruxador" reply="59" id="3019519"] Refusing to improve yourself is needlessly self-destructive. Refusing to respect the requests of others is sociopathic. While I suppose either and both are your prerogative, it would likely be better for all concerned if you remain apart from civilized and semi-civilized communities.

Great to know, cause It's really needed that you're crystalclear on this (otherwise some people will be like: "BUT YOU PROMISED SO WHERE IS IT?!?!") Will the intentions that do not make it in time be included in a content update? But then again it's better to put it all in the releaseversion so it gets a higher score.

I actually don't know if my Steamfriends use X-Fire but I'm almost certain they don't. Then some people got Skype so X-Fire wasn't needed.

If someone believes I'm gonna change my behavior then they're very mistaken. If I see a hot chick, I'm going to smile and check her out since girls like attention. Besides, shy guys are lonely (believe me, I was very shy up until I was around 22. Still a bit shy but I'm working on it.... Also, if you tell a woman that you find her attractive then she'll be happy because of it. So WHO loses on I (or anyone

Reply to More AI pain for me in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

Alstein & Grizzlyloins, It's my firm belief that acting (attacking) MUST defeat defense (being passive), otherwise the incentive to attack is lost. In Age of Wonders, you had to bring either air or siege with you to take a walled city. Any unit that could fly over or hurt walls would suffice. This handicapped the A.I though since you would launch strikes against them and take out their siegecapable and flying units making the A.I unable to

Reply to Sword of the stars 2 - are you playing it? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I'm apparently one of the few that has never played Sword of The Stars so I'm wondering if someone can explain how it works. I understand it's turnbased with realtime battles. Is it realtime like Dawn of War & StarCraft or realtime with pause like Knights of the Old Republic? Do you build buildings that generate money, research and production like Master of Magic and GalCiv II ? Are there skill involved in th

Reply to How memory was saved in Fallen Enchantress in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

Good decision. Curious though, what would be needed in the way of graphicscards to max Fallen Enchantress ? Also remember a long time ago when you mentioned that there would be some Pixel Shader 4 and/or 5 stuff in Elemental. That's coming to Fallen Enchantress ?

Iran can't really do a first strike since Israel got planes with nukes in the air at all times. Kinda doubt that Iran would just launch nukes against it's neighbors. Costs too much diplomatically plus the land gets contaminated. Nuclear blackmail..? Haven't heard that one. I know that Iran gives some uranium or something to somebody to make them into rods that can only be used in a reactor.

That said, I do see a bad end for Gamestop by the end of this decade- once they get locked out of the console market, which I suspect will happen next-gen, they're the next Circuit City. That said, this won't be a win for consumers in the long-term . [/quote] <p

Reply to A better magic victory in FE Wishlists Elemental Forums

You're on the right path. Personally I will just disable Magic Victory since it's cheap and doesn't feel like a victory. It's like that mission in StarCraft: BroodWar where Kerrigan are going to recover a crystal. As soon as she touches the crystal, you win. No matter if there's 12 BattleCruisers firing at you and you're down to 14hp and will die in 0.1s.
