Reply to Sorcerer King: Post-Release road map in Sorcerer King Dev Journals SorcererKing Forums

I'd like the ability to be more along the lines of: They get one free attack at beginning of battle. This would not negate any other turns of those units. To balance this, for one thing, it would be random opponents. To help further balance, make that attack either at lowered accuracy or damage, or both. Any way you look at it, losing control of possibly your very strong units at any point due to you own abilities is not fun.*<

[quote who="coyote303" reply="43" id="3641283"] However, would they be firing at all on the first turn? Archers aren't generally known for high initiative. [/quote] That's the thing. Whenever their first turn would come up, it is gone. You have to wait until what would be their second turn to have any control.

Reply to Strange problem with upgrading Outposts in Sorcerer King Discussion Elemental Forums

[quote who="Thecw" reply="1" id="3639812"] You can't do anything about it, but wait and hope the unit will leave of its own accord. In a dev stream Scott himself said that he hates it when allied units blocks roads and outposts, and are hanging around your cities blocking you. So they are aware of the problem, but when a fix will be forthcoming i have no idea. [/quote] I think I may have asked that question during that stream. From what I recall it didn't

Reply to CBS releases teaser for new upcoming Star Trek series in Everything Else Elemental Forums

[quote who="Kazzerigian" reply="2" id="3636142"] Enterprise was a welcome return to some of what you say others lacked while having it's own shortcomings. I'm a huge fan of the original series. I'm afraid this teaser's nothing but fluff. We've not watched anything regularly on CBS in years. I'm keeping my expectations low. LOL [/quote] Don't worry, you won't see much of it on CBS anyway.

Reply to Jon Shafer's At the Gates - a true gem in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="1" id="3630567"] I thought it was in closed alpha? Is it publicly available? [/quote] I've had it playable for over a year now. I kickstarted it, but don't remember at which level, and what kind of access I have though. So maybe try through kickstarter still at this point? That does give you the game on Steam, as that is where my install is located/updated, however I don't think that you can buy it through steam.

Reply to [eMOD] [LH 3.0] XtraDeconstruct: Legacy of Magic (18 January 2022) in LH Modding Elemental Forums

[quote who="Cruithni" reply="1407" id="3628694"] Nice - thanks - if i edit it and then load a saved game will it mess things up? Would i need to start a new game for it to work? [/quote] To expound upon what Primal stated, you basically have to start a new game if you make any changes to the xml that you want to see in game. When starting a new game, a copy of the xml is included with the save, so any changes made after that will never affect already in progress games.

What a great thread! Pretty sad some of the links are no longer good. I've been listening to a lot of the songs in this thread with my Dad recently, most recently quite a bit of Ten Years After. He still has many of the records he purchased from when they first came out, across a pretty good range of rock, blues, and folk. Still sound incredible for being nearly 40-50 years old, playing on a Technics turntable from ~ 1980.

Plus that is 2:30 am on the weekend nights! If they are shutting you down earlier than that during the weekend, it is due to local ordinances, not the state. ;) Wisconsin really ought to change the switchover from 2AM to like 4 AM, so that bar owners and police alike

Reply to Where is map editor for the game? in Sorcerer King Elemental Forums

I don't think there is any manual or tutorial. I think all of the editing tools are mostly a "Plop, here it is" unsupported feature. I believe they said it they actually the same tools they use to make the custom maps and scenarios. One thing you can do is go to the stardock youtube page and look through the last bunch Sorcerer King twitch streams. Scott was in midst of using the map tool in a few of the later episodes. I think it's somewhat hit or miss on that

While things usually do go afield, the religion/politics thing can make some feel uncomfortable...so please, let's end that stuff here, especially since frogboy has stated that stuff should not appear in Forums.

Reply to Where is map editor for the game? in Sorcerer King Elemental Forums

Launch the game, then look immediately in the lower left corner of main title screen. You will see a "workshop" button. Hit that and then you will see a new menu with the map editor. Yeah, way to hard to see easily!
