If I had to guess, I would say that I'm in the majority when I say that I buy games from wherever I can get them and don't really care that much if it's Steam or not. I guess I end up buying from steam quite often since it's so accessible now that I have an account there.
Would be best if the owner of the lair always stayed on the lair tile no matter what, and only additional spawns from that lair would wander about. Like barbarians in Civ V.
I think this here is just a case of a minor burnout with regards of Elemental. It's good to have at least a short timeout on both sides. I myself will keep feedback to a minimum before the city management is overhauled.
City management is being overhauled in Beta 4, so it's kind of a moot topic at the moment. EDIT: ...but I do like the city levelup screen idea you have a lot.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="185" id="3136929"]In the post I responded to, I also tried to be clear that I might be misinterpreting what some users are requesting. And before someone else tries to throw the WOM towel at me again (because that never gets old), it's important to realize that (a) I'm not the designer of FE, and ( this is one of 8 active projects that I'm involved in presently. I care about FE a great deal but at the end of the day, it's Kael's
Yep Brad's "not a game for you" comments to people who write constructive criticism with reasonable balancing ideas don't feel too good. Starts to feel a little like it was before WoM was released again. However FE is in a much, much better shape than WoM even though I agree with the balancing issues. Makes me think that the man might be exhausted from such a long and painful development process from pre-WoM to this day. Three years of dealing with the community about the same

Talking about the solar company "scandal" is a joke. Study some entrepreneurship and global economics before you raise that topic up. Talking about Marxism in modern western countries is also a joke. Clueless.
I hope crit chance is change to being simply a chance to score a crit whenever you score a hit instead of the old system.
Without boundaries you don't have anything concrete. Smart thought, good to keep in mind when creating anything, be it games, music or pictures.
By normal I mean the statistical most probable case. Doesn't really get any more normal than that. It has really nothing to do with the associaton with normal as 'ok' or 'all good'. In all honesty, I agree with you. What you do is more important than who you are. I just ended up writing two long posts to point out that on a macro scale there are no individuals, and in that scale you benefit from being closer to the average. On average.

What makes you think Google will be the only one who gets into this market once the technology is out? The glasses will probably evolve into something safer than on the video. I expect to get such glasses that are relatively unintrusive. I consider the potential for these glasses to be like the dashboard of a car. Formula 1 drivers and fighter pilots already have a HUD projected into their helmet. Most of the time I would just expect to see a clock and maybe a small ca
I'm not a native english speaker so I make that sort of "double negative" kind of mistakes unless I'm really careful. I meant that I believe in this view. I mentioned that I'm an atheist because earlier certain stances were tied to atheism. Meant to point out that atheism doesn't really have anything to do with the point. Also, I wanted avoid being classified as a religious person, which I was afraid some would do after reading my post. I agree, the best thing

Even better would be to have separate tile art for looted lairs.
On the second page there was some discussion on children raised by gay adoption being worse off than children with mom+dad. I'm an atheist. I believe the statement above is probably true. It's also true that: Children with just one parent are worse off Children with no siblings are worse off Children with no siblings of the opposite sex are worse off Children who are homeschooled are worse off ... and so on.

Did you guys read the OP at all? "I even found a bug with regards to the AI going after "goodie huts” (which is ironic because the AI is supposed to look at whether there’s danger around it)." That's a comment about the way the AI acts against the drake in the vid.
[quote who="GavinHawk" reply="73" id="3119713"]Would be nice if we could connect a city over a river so that we can have a river through the center of it.[/quote] I'd just like that we were able to build a city on top of a river for some special bonuses and a different look to the city with a river going through it.
I like the art BTW
Also, separate city building screen allows for all sorts of modding opportunities, if you can have a tile placement system within the city screen. A real sim city minigame will be possible (via a mod only, of course).
I support 1-tile-cities. I would like it to be accompanied with a change to Zone of Control. If Zone of Control took into consideration the TYPE of terrain when spreading, it would allow for kingdoms to from in much more interesting ways: ZoC would spread at normal rate on hills and grassland ZoC wouldn't spread over impassable mountains ZoC would spread slower in forests, swamps etc ZoC wouldn't spread across water unless you have
I'm for 1-tile cities. In my opinion, cities look worse when you have to put improvements adjacent to each other without options to arrange them and build roads from one another. It's just a mish mash of random building crammet together. At least with city hubs that possibly grow larger as you level up, you can design the hubs to look interesting.
Just so nobody mistakes my first post, I really liked the intro video. And I wasn't saying the Sovereigns should be a lot more powerful, just they should somehow stand out from the ordinary hero. Heroes are fine just the way they are.
BoogieBac's animondays mana bubble graphic at 0:15. [e digicons]B)[/e] This intro does kind of make me feel like the Sovereigns are somewhat weaker in the game than they are in the intro. In the game they're just a hybrid of a pioneer and a hero, as we've stripped them from all the special stuff they had in WoM. Either they need something extra, or the narrative needs to say that they have been weakened for some reason and need to regain their strength.</p
Some things you haven't considered in the points you made: [quote who="feelotraveller" reply="33" id="3115120"] 1) Ability to create chokepoints (well not entirely, but largely so...). This can be worked around and is not crucial but IMO is worth keeping. [/quote] It would be incredibly difficult to make the AI be able to game the mechanic like a player can. Therefore it's a gamey mechanic that many don't like and gives an unfair edge to the player.
