Finally saw the movie too. The beginning is nice enough, but once the story leaves the Shire with Bilbo, it takes a sharp turn downhill. Erebor was beautiful. The piles of gold did not look real at all. Mr. Jackson shows a disturbing trend of "Tolkien did not know how to write a good story, but don't worry, I will fix it." Almost all his "fixes" are bad. Radagast adaptation is a criminal act alone. Galadriel offering psychoanalysis and "maybe so

Bought the game for 5 quids, and I like the game immensely. There is an old game which was an obvious inspiration - an adventure called Dreamweb. However, this one is pure action - with some LSD induced graphics and music as a bonus. Highly recommended.

Hello, surprisingly, I am reading you loud and clear. I have dared a short exploratory walk outside, and the streets are mostly deserted, only a lone straggling survivor here and there. The shops are all closed, bar a sporadic hot dog stand here and there. Obviously, dog meat is the only foodstuff readily available in these harsh times. I was not able to secure appropriate food supply, and that leaves me stranded on my emergency peanut and chips supply.

Yeah, erhm, okay, I bought it during the sale. Don't look at me like that ;-) It's not a super-sophisticated game, but it's has a sort of soothing, calming, screensaverish quality. Maybe it's the music. I don't know.

The main problem is that when Tolkien wrote hobbit, it was just a plain fairy tale. In a fairy tale, there is no centuries-spanning background for the characters, no uberscheme of eternal good fighting eternal evil. The trolls are not twisted servants of Darkness, attracted by the whispering of the One Ring, but just a bunch of stupid monsters that crave human flesh, and that turn into stone when touched by sunlight - and that's that, end of scene, cheap little thrill, and let&#39

Okay, so once again, it was a dud. It reminds me one spectacular End Of The World party the moonist sect had in Korea, I think in 1998 - thousands of followers gathered on a large stadium, awaiting The End with their Guru, and in the end, he just said: "Sorry, nothing has happened, let's go home." Epic. However, I now know why the world did not end - because I finished Assassin's Creed 3 in time, hehe ;-)

[quote who="Satrhan" reply="55" id="3299045"]Thanks for the tips! One more question though, is it possible to change the difficulty of the campaign once started? I've outgrown beginner, and now the game is more about mopping up rather than fighting a war. I've tried adjusting the difficulty in the main screen, but that doesn't seem to have any effect when I load the campaign...[/quote] I believe you get to choose a difficulty level each time you attack a new

[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="53" id="3299017"]How does the game significantly differ from the HOMM series?[/quote] Hmm... by being a different game? Seriously, the only thing similar is that both use hex-based tactical maps. The similarities end here: 1) Heroes allow you (IMO stupidly) stack units ad infinitum on one hex, creating silly situations. 1 million skeletons swinging at the same time on a single hex? No problem. In eador it's 1 unit per he

Let me tell you, my friend. Dominions 3 is something you cannot live without. I myself tried to play it, but found myself unworthy of its complexity and depth. But it charms me still.

I am really just a beginner yet, but I will try to answer some of your questions since I really like the game: 1) There are two redeeming qualities - first, cost. If you don't have iron, those warriors and crossbowmen will cost you, especially if they keep dying a lot. Some deaths are IMO difficult to prevent, especially against stronger ranged monsters. Second, mobility. The AI is not too bright, but units like horse archers can dance around you and wound your swordsmen, and when

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="10" id="3298592"]The thing you have to watch, with larger-screened TVs, is that your computer has a sufficient enough GPU. It's definitely not a big problem for a rig already designed with gaming in mind, but one of those integrated graphics solutions on a cheap machine just won't cut it. I know because I tried playing GC2 on just such a computer, and I ended up having to go for a lower resolution to avoid black-screening and flickering.[/quo

Since I have been doing a lot of research into monitors in April, I can offer a few pointers. First and foremost, be very careful about backlight PWM-induced flicker, especially on LED LCD monitors. Read more here: https://forums.elementalgame.com/420071 It really depends on how sensitive your eyes/nerves are, but it can induce considerable strain even if you don't realize it. Recently, monitors not using PWM fo
