[quote who="luketan" reply="15" id="2848021"] Now here's a funny question. For the guys who agree with Recnelis2 , please answer the following questions 1. Have you played Galactic Civilizations 2?.. If so.. please also name expansion packs if any you played 2. Did you find it boring? I have a hunch, people who agree with Recnelis either didn't play Gal civ2.. or found it average to boring....

Reply to The Early Rush: Balance or AI? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

As a competetive player (particulary of RTS), I understand the importance of balance. I also believe you should be able to do early attacks. The reason they are so effective in Elemental is because the game is designflawed. You couldn't rush A.I in Master of Magic on a challenging difficulty lvl. Norr could you in Age of Wonders (any of'em). But in Elemental....[e digicons]:annoyed:[/e] Needing siegetec

You shouldn't walk around with your Sovereign like that. You paid the price for it. Makes me more certain they should have designed the Sovereigns like Master of Magics and Age of Wonders: Shadow Magics Wizards.

[quote who="jereome" reply="34" id="2837981"]I would personally like to see the ability to request reinforcements from allies and the ability to coordinate attacks on a specific target. On a side note it would also be nice to have espionage in the game. I really loved that aspect of games such as Romance of the three kingdoms, Masters of Orion and Galactic Civilizations. Some options could be: 1. False flag - Attack an enemy but disquise yourself as another fa

GameReplays.org is where I used to hang out until August last year when I ran into a complete dick in the StarCraft II section. I just don't want to put up with such arrogant, elitist people so I just quit that place. I'm thinking of returning though but I feel flamewars to be a bit childish.

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="22" id="2837742"] If the definition of rape gets expanded to include "not informing partners about a lack of proper condom", rape will cease to be a meaningful term for brutally forcing yourself on someone in a sexually abusive manner.[/quote] It ceased to mean "brutally enforcing yourself on someone in a sexually abusive manner" several years ago.

The problem is that he admitted to having unprotected sex with several of these women. Which, under Sweden's laws, could very well constitute rape, even if it was consensual.

Reply to Steam: A monopoly in the making? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

The question is: How do you resist buying from them? As long as they have their special sales and achievements I'm buying. I bought Puzzle Quest II from Steam because of the achievements and their big community. I'm gonna buy Defense Grid from them as well because of the achievements. Impulse got Defence Grid Gold but their version don't got any achievements and can't be imported into Steam either. The version at GameStop also can't be imported into Steam so I d

[quote quoting="post"] Got a lot of good stuff going on this week in terms of development. But it’s also a very stressful time as we watch retailer after retailer tell us that they’re eliminating much of their PC gaming space starting 1Q2011. I wish the reason was because everything’s moving to digital. But as much as Steam and Impulse and the others have grown this past year, the real issue is the continuing migration of users to other platforms followed by the

From one quick look at f.e. GameSpots reviews and its users, I cannot trust the users as their "reviews" are 5 sentences long. A review must mention pros'n'cons and tell you what works and what doesn't. About professional reviews....I'm looking for a gamereviewersite to become my "home" for gamereviews but it's hard to decide.

To begin with, what's "ingot(s)"? Maybe Master of Magics transmuting would do? If on a 1 for 4 or 5 cost then sure. Could add a faction trait called "Transmute" that increased the trade ratio. Another option could be like the Market from HoMM. The more of the buildings you had the better exchange rates. Whatever you decide upon, make it work.
