[quote who="RisingLegend" reply="69" id="2936061"]I feel like I haven't been on this site in years! and I'm trying to take this all in at once lol However, I have a pretty big question. - I am almost positive I ordered the game before october 31st. i think i bit in either early september or early october. Are these expansions going to be automatically sent to my address (as i requested disc and digital download) and if not, how will i receive them? <br

I got a Western Digital Raptor 150GB and are on my third one now (the fan to the harddrives wasn't working I noticed....) and when the warranty expires and the drive dies I'll get a SSD 160GB+. Sure they're expensive but I'll take that cost. I'm feeling like one of the few computerenthusiasts who DOESN'T have an SSD....

I'll count one US dollar as 6.50SEK (Swedish Kronor) eventhough the US dollar has swung through the years. */* = Downloadspeed in Mbit /Uploadspeed in Mbit . 8 Mbit = 1 Mbyte . So if I would have had 8Mbit then if I hover over uTorrent it would say 1.0MB/second. Do you understand? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Considering Micro$oft buys nearly everything they want I'm not too surprised. Wonder how this will affect price'n'stuff.

I love highscores. One of my main motivations for playing Heroes of Might & Magic II was the highscore list.

Reply to Elemental: WTF? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="NelsMonsterX" reply="27" id="2934354"] 1. I wish it would've been more of a straightforward fantasy world. The various races are just too similar. I liked the variety in GalCiv and it is sorely missed here. [/quote] Most of us do. Master of Magic & Age of Wonders were great with their different races and we all hope the factions in Elemental will eventually be distinct from one another. I personally believe that the 2nd expansion

Reply to Impulse update speed in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="ozo" reply="7" id="2932548"]I'm not the only one with this issue? Great. I mean... Impulse is slow to start and after it has started, it takes ages to connect (dunno where, Impulse servers?) and downloading something takes ages. Calculating download size..., come back five minutes later, still the same issue. I reinstalled EWOM some time ago and that DL size-calculation took 15+ minutes. And Impulse seems to be using a lot of system resources (CPU

Reply to Gaming Nexus Interview with Derek Paxton in Elemental News Elemental Forums

[quote who="Austinvn" reply="6" id="2931797"]Perhaps this has been mentioned before, but in this interview is the first time I've seen it: We also separated movement from combat speed [in Fallen Enchantress]. In the old system if a unit had 6 combat speed he could move 6 spaces, attack 6 times or a combination of the two. That made combat speed a god stat, since allowing more attacks multiplys a units damage. Now we can have high movement units without making them killing

Reply to Gaming Nexus Interview with Derek Paxton in Elemental News Elemental Forums

Pretty good read. Don't feel I got so much out of it but nice to see that some site is interested in fantasy 4x strategygames. I like when he said that they're making the game for hardcore gamers. We still exist! [e digicons]:andrew:[/e] When the interviewer asked that dumb question about facebook I was like: "OMG...."

Reply to Animondays: The Sweet Release of Death in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Why is he falling so extremely fast in the beginning? Did you fastforward things? I like the endresult. Got some suggestions for his other deathanimations. If he's killed by an arrow then have the arrow impale him, spraying some blood and then falling either back or forward slightly slower than in this vid. If killed by a Greatsword than perhaps chopped in half or getting a deep cut from left chest to

Reply to Technology in Fallen Enchantress in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Nearly everything sounds good. It feels like in 2008/2009 when we thought WoM would be THE fantasy 4x TBS I like the random techs but I'd say the techtree should be hidden so people don't restart over and over to get "that" tech.

Considering it IS Stardock one guy might actually say something like: "I like everything but the magicsystem". [quote who="Lord Xia" reply="2" id="2929043"]They fully believed that EoM was fun at launch too. Believed that it would get something like a 85 metacritic.[/quote] But wasn't that only Brad who said that? Can't remember anyone else at Stardock saying anything about that.

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="16" id="2927451"]What about those that fled the battle? Do they get any experience? Best regards, Steven.[/quote] Yes they do, but if other XPgaining actions are done after they've left the battlefield then only the ones left in battle get that XP.

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="13" id="2927229"]Does this mean all participants who have done at least one experience gaining event, or any participant that survived the battle on the winning side? Best regards, Steven.[/quote] If you refer to me, then it is any participant that survived the battle. I think that would be the most fair.

[quote who="Lord Cobol" reply="11" id="2926904"]I think the game handles XP just fine as it is. If it worked for MOM, don't fix it.[/quote] Except, it worked in a bad way. The XP system has become a dealbreaker for me. Age of Wonders have the IEB (Individual Event Based) kill system and MoM the PB (Participating Based) system where you just show up and gain experience. I can't recall exactly how that system worked th

Look, Island....95% of us are disappointed with the top 5 traits you chosed so it's embarrasing to see you try to hype it up like it's a big deal or something....( Congrats again, and we can't wait to see that trait in the game! ) Outlaw Connections is IMO the best trait of the top 5 but it's like an average guy that have fought a little would win the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) because the others tripped and knocked themselves unconscious.

That's sad to hear. Then you add Brads talk about "A.I playing the same game YOU'RE playing!" and it gets even worse.... Another reason I'm glad I didn't buy the game. I hope (can't say believe anymore....) this (as well) gets fixed in Fallen Enchantress.
