Reply to Has Microsoft opened the door for Linux in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

I have been using Ubuntu for years for work, I have a Windows partition only for gaming. For a casual user, the GUI experience in Ubuntu is largely identical to that with Windows 7/XP. Plus it's free. There is really no reason why casual users should prefer Windows, other than crowd mentality. Of course, if you use specialized Win only software for work, that's another matter. Going XP is not very smart, because the support wil

Reply to [1.0] AI has -27 Mana in LH Support Elemental Forums

It's a known issue, concerning not only mana, but also iron, gildar, and any other conceivable resources. Just like fiat money economies of today, the AI in LH can just go into negative numbers whenever necessary, getting the goodies now, and paying supposedly sometimes in the future... or never. No official comment on this yet.

Reply to The Star Trek Into Darkness thread in Movies & TV & Books Elemental Forums

The 2009 movie was an incoherent, nonsensial trollop full of brainless action and story that did not make any sense. Gone are the days where Star Trek was about promoting the idea of diplomacy over brute force, clever plot setups and charming characters. Now it's just explosions, more explosions, shaky-cam and retractable katanas. For the sake of my sanity, I am skipping this one.

Reply to [1.0] BUG - Unlimited metal for AI opponents in LH Support Elemental Forums

On top of that, I have found out that the AI keeps buying (rushing) units and buildings - since it does not have to care about gildar, why not. That's what creates the problem of overdeveloped cites surrounded by swarms of units. The actual rules of the game (i.e. earning what you spend first) would never possibly allow an actual player to accumulate such assets in such a short time.

Reply to Future of LH in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Since this is all speculation, I will just make a bet: There won't be another datadisk like LH for FE. There may be a small map/DLC pack, if the reviews and sales are good. I am willing to bet this rusty plate I have just found, together with three stone maces I found in a row.

Hello, I am a long time Silent Hill ... connoisseur, I guess, so I can share some info with you. So far, I have played, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to the end, and parts of the others. If you want to go chronologically, you really have to start with the first one, which may be a bit of a problem, since it's a PSX (that's right, Playstation 1) game, and here you have two options. If you own PS3 like me, you can buy a version that runs on PS3, but looks just like the o

Reply to Legendary Heroes worth it in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Also, to clarify some of my replies - if there is a thread about the AI, and people ask "Does the AI cheat"? And people like you say "No, it does not cheat, absolutely not.", I feel the need to correct the statement, because it's a conscious misinformation (a.k.a. lie). The fact is the AI does not play according to the same rules as the player, which is the very definition of cheating. Similar to other topics: "Is LH clearly better than FE?" your response: "Yes, go ahead, it's

Reply to Legendary Heroes worth it in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I would say this is a controversial topic. While some of the changes are improvements, others feel like quickfixes that broke the overall balance of the game even more. Starting combat two steps apart - not so good sometimes. Hero skill trees are now predetermined, but some choices are clearly inferior (Potential), sometimes you must pick weak skills to get the good ones later, and the five specializations are imbalanced. Encumberance was removed, but som

Reply to AI question in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

AFAIK the AI cheats quite a bit, because it does not have to conform to the same set of rules as the player. For example, if you as a player want to build a unit requiring iron, you must have the iron to do so, or the unit cannot be trained. However, the AI can have a negative amount of iron and still keep on building iron-dependent units. Moreover, the AI can raze your cities instantly, while you have to spend turns doing the same to it. Lastly, the AI does not do quests like the player, it

Once again - I don't mind the existence of discrete settlement spots, I mind the way the game presents them and they disconnection from the actual map features (plains, hills, rivers, etc.).

Arbitrary settleable spots in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Okay, it bugs me, I admit that. Every time I play. The map has many interesting features. Mountains, oceans, grasslands, deserts, forests. Gameplay-wise, none of that means squat. Oh, to be fair, forest are slow to travel through and allow building of lumber camps. But that's it. Historically, cities were founded on places with some convenience or importance. Next to bodies of water to allow trade and agriculture. On lowland fertile planes. Next to ore mines in the m

Blackwell series in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Allow me to recommend a bundle of four adventure games (fifth is allegedly in the making) that are, in my opinion, near perfect as far as adventure games go. They look very humble, especially the first and second game, 90s style hand drawn graphics, low res art. However, the writing is IMO excellent, the characters interesting (I did care about what happens to them), with clever references across the episodes. They are heavily story-centered, which is IMO how adventure games sho
