Ron, been a while since we were involved in MoO3 together... (way back machine?) But I'd be happy to kick your ass in Demigod! I plan on getting in on the Beta, I just need to finalize the pre-order with the "Boss".

Geek Prime, meet Geek Alpha! *giggles*
[quote]Yeah! I don't want any other games then the fantasy TBS.[/quote] Well... Demigod looks sweet O_O. PCG did a preview of it in their February issue (IIRC, it's the one I've got by the Porcelain Throne).
Hey Awesome Stardock guys (and gals!) Can we expect an update on "Not-MoM" soon? Like, shortly after the GCII: ToA release? I'm hankerin' to pre-order and devot many hours a week to the beta...
I like your thinking on this, but what's the balancing factor? Why not have the player's Dwarven/Elven/Oldworld races be off-shoots of the main empires. Have the game take place on a fresh part of the entire world, instead of the whole world. Or have the Dwarven/Elven/Oldworld empires inhabit large portions of the world (and be AI controlled). A good concept, but I think it might be too hard to manage and still remain fun. I thought MoM did a good job
Troll 2/10 A fair try. Swearing and yipping at the developers with lines like, "Did you test this thing at all?" isn't going to get you help. Congratulations. Try going to walmart and saying to customer service, "These underwear I bought have holes! Your company sucks and I hate you personaly. Will you help me?"
I was cheesed about the $30.10 in shipping I had to pay... but I got the complete contents of the box. I find it interesting that you come here to complain about it. You think that anyone cares?
[quote]You know, I often feel like I'm the only person in the world that has had an outstanding experience with Vista. Everyone is always trying to tell me how awful it is, how nothing on it ever works, how it killed their dog and burned down their house, etc. I'm just like, naw...Anyway, I'm using Vista Ultimate with an Nvidia 8800 GTS, no crashes ever. My Nvidia driver version is: 7.15.11.6906. IIRC this was the last driver version that would have been released on Windows Update. Perhaps
I've been doing crystal mine metal mine metal mine scout scout cap factory cobaltx5 Cap ship Colony Ship I typically buy 100 crystal or so, but sometimes not, and not right away. If prices are high, I sell metal and buy crystal. (sometimes sell metal for money). It's nice having a fleet that can handle locals around anything I might wanna colonize. Getting a second or third crystal mine very early makes a big difference, IMO. <br/
Thanks Kryo, I'll watch for an update. I'm having a similar issue where I'll get a random crash from time to time, Vista Home Premium, NVidia 8800GTX, 4GB RAM. I've played through the game without problems, but if I play for like, 6 hrs, it might crash. I had it crash 1 hr into a game once (with only one autosave at least 20 minutes earlier *pouts*).
[quote] I regret cant tribute more yet to this review due to time limits writing this up and actual duration being in the game. [/quote] Please learn how to write before you subject us to another review. I can't even decipher what you're trying to say. "I regret cant tribute more yet"? Say that out loud a few times and see if you can understand it. If not, edit your post so us humans can understand it.
Ya, married w\ Children means that you play sins on a friday night to get away from spending time with a pretty girl! LOL.
There's an option somewhere to "collapse" unit types on the empire tree. (It groups them into stacks of 10). Then you can micro 10 LRM's at once, for example (they show up as one icon on the empire tree) Edit: Sorry, I didn't read all the posts before I replied. Focus fire is good, if all your LRM's attack the same overseer, then it dies faster and the enemy fleet has less fire power.
The Fraiser brothers are big dune fans, so it wouldn't surprise me.
I wonder if it =IS= MoM2 and Stardock somehow garnered the rights.
HoMM IV and V filled my fantasy vacuum a bit, as well as Age of Wonders Shadow Magic. I played a tonne of MoM back in the day. We used to gloat over our high scores. Boy, my HS grades sure suffered due to that title.
Vasari players keep talking about Dark Fleet. I've played several TEC games recently, and want to get back to Vasari, and I'd like to see what all this Dark Fleet fuss is about. What is Dark Fleet? Who can use Dark Fleet? (which ship) When can you get Dark Fleet? Where can you use Dark Fleet? Why is Dark Fleet good? (insta fleet? fleet above supply?) How do you use Dark Fleet? Thanks
Pirates are a tool, like a hammer. Are you going to wield the hammer? Or is someone going to wield it against you? Sins is a game of questions and answers. You want to be the one controlling the game. Your opponents should be saying, "What the heck do I do now?"
Hello, How's 1.03 going? Any news? Any shareable snippets of what's confirmed to be in? *hugs*
Vasari ships outclass Advent ships, generally. Also, as Advent, your better served by having more ships instead of lots of Cap ships. A dozen frigates is very "meh" A dozen of each is very awesome. As Advent, a Cap ship takes just as much supply as a dozen Illuminators (IIRC). More ships, less Cap ships (Either that, or take more of the 'carrier' type cap ships).
Thanks Kryo, I just downloaded that. It's a big help. I'm in the process of switching my favored race from Advent to Vasari, as I find I like smaller fleets of stronger ships better than large fleets of weaker ships. Tech tree poster helps a lot. Edit: Something online with on-hover type events that expand what the tech is would be extremely swanky.
Hey, It'd be nice if we could download the manual, or at least the tech tree's and ship-cheat-sheet from the downloads section. I'd like to be able to plan my galactic conquest while at lunch break @ work.
Yes, Because there will be one or two game altering patches in that time.
It's not like it costs an arm and a leg or anything. As far as I'm aware, it doesn't even take a slot. Just a 'lil bit of time.
Things like Culture and Trade should have a slow upward affect on your relationship with an empire. Kind of like how your culture spreads. I've gotten empires up to 75% and enjoyed some very nice benefits of that relationship, like getting them to help defend my space. However, I was min-maxing toward civilian tech, and the missions to destroy stuff from other empires started straining our relationship, once it dropped to 40% things started to sour. It can be powerful if you
