[quote who="Alstein" reply="32" id="2816844"]Are we sure it's going to be next Thursday, that's Veteran's day, which many places get off in the US. [/quote] Seriously? Government offices and banks. Who else? I would bet a meaningful amount of money that Veteran's Day isn't on the holiday schedule at Stardock.
[quote who="Gwenio1" reply="1" id="2815644"]Your sovereign needs to be holding them. [/quote] Is that true for the dragon one as well? That quest never completes for me.
If the laptop can handle it, there is no reason you cannot install the game on it. I have it on two computers and have no issues running on one or the other.

Has anyone actually seen the bonus content in-game? I have started multiple games since installing the Best Buy content and have yet to see it in-game.
Pretty sure that's why he said " Feel free to copy the following and add or adapt your own scoring system ."
Turn 1: Found city next to Fertile Land. Position so that any nearby resources will get inside border sooner rather than later. Turn 2: Hire Janusk and rename him Bob. Start Workshop build in your city (so that materials are produced ASAP). Turn 3: Buy a staff and then go exploring with Bob. Research Flame Dart as your first spell (build the Arcane Lab or whatever it's called as your third city building - Workshop, Hut, Arcane research thing).&n
Hmmm.....

Wait for the demo. :)
[quote who="John_Hughes" reply="66" id="2803117"]I have said it before but will do so again. Any game with a "5" at the end of its name, should be "vastly" better (just because) than one that is yet to have even see it first Major (1.1) update, let alone a second iteration. [/quote] I've seen Brad apply that logic in a not-so-direct fashion in several of his posts, and I completely disagree. If you set out to create a game, it should stand on its own merits, reg

As much as I like FFH2, it will be great having his abilities applied to an engine actually built for magic use (unlike the Civ 4 engine).

Do the Devs realize many people are just not using mounts at all because of how annoying it is?[/quote] Want to add my voice to this one. The delay in horse combat animations makes me want to cry, esepcially given the number of patches out since release. [/quote] Me too! I don't use mounts because of this.

Seriously though, I moved up a difficulty level (to "Challenging") in conjunction with 1.09E, and I found the wandering monsters more challenging - as in I lost a couple undefended cities to brigands - never saw that before. The other AI sovereigns though... they are still kind of push-overs.
[quote quoting="post"] You can no longer stack multiple of the same item type (i.e. ring), but system would make more sense if you were limited to 2 rings and 1 necklace. Your Sovereign isn't Mr.T after all. [/quote] You forgot the Golden Rule: He who wears the gold, rules. Sucka.
I love this thing - never play a map without it. One question: Is it possible to add some way to save the default settings? I use the same settings almost every time, but they are about 5% below all the current defaults, and one map size larger. It would be nice to be able to save my preferred settings. Thanks again for this tool cephalo !
[quote who="hairrorist" reply="3" id="2795954"]Even -I- would agree that its heading in the right direction, with the caveat of separating attack and defense as well as adding damage types. Fire spells should not harm fire elementals any more than swords against chainmail. I understand that attack and defense will be separated, but have heard nothing on the second. [/quote] This is REALLY important for the success of this game when it comes to magic.&

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="17" id="2792046"] Either/or...GFW requires certain things, and one is that we use Microsoft's documents folder systemfor non-core game stuff (saves, etc). We suggest users put their mods in the my games folder, but it's up to the player I suppose. With the above 'graphics management' system, you could put the data in the my games directory (to keep out of data.zip's way) then the graphics portion in the main game. Up to you (btw, the team
The starting side in a tactical battle is now chosen randomly. The attacker and the defender have an equal chance to go first. Well that's a step in the right direction! Should make tactical combat more interesting in the short-term at least. :)
