Nobody sets out to make their core game lame. Whether it is or not will utimately be determed by how all the pieces of their plan fall together.

Supcom: FA anyone? Don't forget about the financial importance of an expansion pack. Yes, x-packs include things that could have been put into the original game, but at the same time, someone has to pay the help to put that content in. The extra money from x-packs let you do this.

But let's go to a deeper, philosophic state of the issue; why should people be denied something that doesn't cost anyone anything to supply them? For the same reason someone shouldn't be allowed to walk into my home and take a nap on the floor when I don't allow him in. It doesn't cost me anything for someone to take a nap on my fl

Reply to Demigod Review @ GameSNAFU in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="chris701" reply="17" id="2147114"]Totally biased review. The core component of the game doesn't work, but maybe it will get fixed in the future, so we will just ignore the issue? The fact is we haven't really been able to scratch the surface for bugs yet because actually playing a game is so difficult. How anyone could right an accurate review when the game has been out less than 3 days is beyond me.[/quote] I think you're being t

Reply to FunkOff's 2 cents on balance and some bugs in Demigod Demigod Forums

Funk was in the beta I believe. I think this is just something that slipped passed us beta testers. Besides, the choice is still there since there's only 20 skills points. But it would still be nice to get stat boosts at levels above 20.

Reply to Gamespot Reviews in Demigod Demigod Forums

Well, to be honest, as much as I don't agree with the review, it does reflect the reviewers OPINION, which is what a review is. As such, I think comparing DG's score with the score of other released games is completely "apples to oranges". With that said, I also believe that gamespot should give the game a second look when (if?) the issues are resolved.

[quote]If I'm remembering the long dev saga for MoO3 correctly, this sounds a lot like their abandoned effort at a command point system. I liked the idea in early, broadly conceptual terms, but have never gotten to play with anything that worked that way.[/quote] There's a game for the PS3 that uses command points called Valkyria Chronicles (very good game btw, if you like squad-based strategy). It still doesn't fix the problem of turn based movement (ie, first player who moves

Reply to Concerns I am starting to have in War of Magic Elemental Forums

The way I see it, it should be less about what races you have, and more about making each faction/race distinct and interesting. Having elves or whatever is really just a skin job in a world of magic anyway. In fact, I'd like to see the devs stear clear of the standard fantasy depictions for something more creative.

Reply to Customization- Clothing and Uniforms in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="NTJedi" reply="5" id="2063777"] Quoting GW Swicord, reply 3 I agree, but I'm surprised to find myself interested in the idea of disguising units if there is still a possibility of identifying them somehow. Of course we want methods of identifying the disguised/blurred units otherwise it'd be too powerful and become frustrating. Even with a few methods of identifying the disguised/blurred units it will still be powerful and useful. B

Reply to "Stargates"; Portals, Teleportation. in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Hmmm, I'd like to mention the Civ method: Instant transport from one city to another city. The recieving city can only recieve one unit per turn. The unit being transported uses it's turn "during transit" so to speak. I like this because it's simple and provides a decent level of balance (unless you have a large grouping of cities near each other). In addition though, it would be nice to have some one teleportation spells for your channeler. And of course,

Reply to Underdogs in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I'd just like to point out, that even if it's fantasy, it still has to make some sort of sense. Why would destroying a wall have a different spell cost than building it? Especially if it's the same spell just being used differently.

Reply to Royal Councils in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I don't see why this can't be an option for more evil rulers. It's no way to make steady income (or else you WILL drive your citizens away), but it's not a bad idea for a quick boost of income now and then. Not to mention it could prove to be a uniting factor in some cases. Think about it: a mysterious crime spree sweeps through a city. The sovereign acts quickly to contain the situation and stomp out crime. Not only did you make some cash ripping o

Reply to Save/Load or Save/Continue ? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

*facepalm* Look, design the game for save/continue gameplay, but give a save/load option, and give the hardcore ppl their "hardcore mode" checkbox that limits the option menu to "save and exit" (ie, "load" and "save" options are greyed out) and be done with it. This topic is utterly ridiculous. I personally agree with the save/load camp, but I don't see the problem of giving the hardcore people their psycological trigger.
