I don't think anyone's being cheated, but aggressive discounting has become the new normal. For example, FE was discounted 66% a month after release. So the lesson learned from this new pricing environment is patience. Soon enough, that game you want, will be discounted. Just learn to wait it out.
Eh, warriors are just cannon fodder anyway. It's all about the magic/wizards, guys. [e digicons]}:)[/e] [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="willie sanderson" reply="284" id="3332814"] Stardocks plan if you haven't noticed will be much like Galactic Civilization II, they will keep improving the BASE game and CHARGING you for it instead of PATCHING in updates like back in the good ole days. It would seem modern day programming and development is all about the $$, if you notice nearly all games have gone to the nickels and dimes DLC for games INSTEAD of just GIVING it to you in an update or PATC
Remember, this is the first beta. They may add more with each release.
I agree. The updates in LH are a great improvement! The change to the leveling up mechanic is worth the $20 alone.

I agree that city militia should be stronger, but IMO, there should be limits. After all, they are supposed to be the defense of last resort, "citizen" militias taking up arms because the professional soldiers are out of town.
Yea with the new unit placement, I think that at least some spells should have their casting time reduced.
[quote who="Xan" reply="85" id="3332420"] I'm a paying customer too. I have lots of opinions. Unlike you, I don't try to insist that my opinions represent some silent majority. My opinions represent only me, myself and I. What makes you seem entitled is that you behave as if your opinions are more important than everyone else's. It's the way you write. Just upthread you implied that Stardock needs to learn to listen to their customers or they&
[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="82" id="3332412"] that's fine, but I don't consider "if you don't like to deal with gamers, you shouldnt be a game company at all" a viable exchange of ideas. [/quote] I can see how someone could read it that way. I could have been more tactful. But it's a valid question. Is the effort put forth worth the reward?

[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="79" id="3332394"] Actually, I think Frogboy has you in mind when he is talking about entitled users and I can see why. You are constantly dressing your arguments and opinions in a way that you supposedly know what is best for the game and what should be done next. [/quote] As a paying customer, I am entitled to my opinion. I think that everyone with an opinion, believes in the validity of their opinion, and will "dress it" in such a way
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="67" id="3332243"] Not really. In Civ IV, modders had to write c++ code to hack the ability to change graphics. In FE, we get complaints that the built-in editors aren't consumer friendly enough. in other games, modders would write that. I used to hang out on a French site called CanardPC. And I honestly thought that if we just worked hard enough and made the game really good they'd like it. But there is no threshold to cross
That's quite an impressive list of changes/improvements!
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="61" id="3332191"]My own *personal* (i.e. not representing Stardock here) gripes have to do with modding and AI. Having modded a lot of games, including Civ IV, I have been somewhat irked at times at the level of hand holding that some people in the modding community expect. [/quote] But modding helps extend the life of the product and generate enthusiasm for free. Isn't that worth the frustration of hand holding? How

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="51" id="3331947"] Even though we have a great community, there's enough "gamer entitlement " to absolutely turn me off for awhile. [/quote] Yea, but it's only 47% of the community.... [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I'm genuinly curious as to what constitutes "gamer entitlement".

[quote who="DigitalIP" reply="280" id="3331668"] Will LH integrate into FE or will the 2 be separate? [/quote] The two will be separate, similar, I believe, to the way GC2 chapters (versions) were set up.
[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="19" id="3331728"] Every single soul claim they represent the customers when they voice their opinion here. What the common customer really wants can't be decided by the people with the highest voices at the forum. A wise developer listens to those things they think can improve the current game design (within the economical limits), and lends a deaf ear to most other things. Better make a great game based on your visi

Personally, I don't care about shadows. IMO, just bake them in and be done with it. Dynamic seems like too much work for something most people won't pay that much attention to. Or maybe I'm in the minority and shadows are more important than AI, UI and depth, engagement and play-ability.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="3" id="3331563"]The only thing about Trinity is that it does not included the latest (and last) expansion, Rebellion, so if you end up really liking the game and what the get everything, you'll end up having to get Rebellion at full price. I don't know what the sale is, but you may want to wait for a Rebellion sale if you think it is a game you can enjoy (there are a few TBS players who have become Sins regulars, and its the only RTS they play).

[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="5" id="3331554"]Summoning will be beefed up in Legendary Heroes, they talked about it when discussing the new champion leveling system. If you click the first screenshot on the LH page you can see the mage progression tree with the ability to summon skeletons in combat and such. [/quote] I talk about dragons, and you mention skeletons?!? Not even in the same ballpark... [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
I'd like to see summon beefed up a bit. I'm thinking as you increase in levels, not only do the summoned creatures get stronger, but also multiple can be summoned at once. And I's also like a greater variety of summoned creatures, up to and including one of the weaker dragons. Yea, I know "That would be OP". Well, I can dream, can't I?
