[quote who="Misaniovent" reply="12" id="3468896"] Almost no one playing Might and Magic Heroes VI. Oh how the Mighty and Magicky have fallen.[/quote] Yeah, after the last good one, and my favorite number 4, it has been a disaster. Also I have become older of course, and the HoMM-series just not isn't enough anymore to satisfy my hunger for grander strategy. :D [quote who="Heavenfall" reply="6" id="3468493"] I've been

Reply to Fantasy strategy games: What are people playing? in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

I bought but didn't like AoW3. Too tactical oriented and too little strategy oriented for my taste. My favorite is by far Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes. I have also pre-ordered 2 other fantasy strategies. I have big hopes for Worlds of Magic and Endless Legend. I don't count the Civilization -and Galactic Civilizations series as fantasy (but understand they arguably are). If I did count them in they

Reply to Alpha Feedback - Building and Research in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

For me this is some of the charm when playing a strategy game for the first time. You can't expect to do all tech choices, or other choices, perfectly compared to your playstyle from day 1. Too many pop-ups and helping screens can clutter up the interface too you know. But in time you learn and suddenly a day the AI isn't so hard to beat anymore. That is the sad day, not your first day when you are a rookie. :) NB! Your taste of games is excellent, my dear Threa

Reply to What do you like LEAST about Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes? in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

My list: - Buildings built on map with no other gameplay purpose then "cheesy" city snaking for ressource grab or fast influence steering in one direction only(I'd prefer 1 tile per city, or a maximum of 4 tiles a city, then building real influence buildings would really mather too, and connecting Your empire could potentially be a long and painfull process). - No penalties for obstacles or range on bows in tactical combat. - No ships, nava

Reply to What Age of Wonders 3 has Taught Us and What LH Can Teach AOW in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="27" id="3456999"]For me, and I'm obviously biased, I really really REALLY don't like lengthy tactical battles. Whereas, I think most gamers prefer in depth tactical battles. If a tactical battle takes more than a couple minutes, I'm unhappy.[/quote] Agree totally indeed! I Guess that is a part of why I got bored by AoW3 after just 30 min. So little strategical depth it seemed, even though battles seemed well

[quote who="Alstein" reply="32" id="3455580"] Ok, on the second topic: One thing I'd like to see is the choices also lead to a chance of random events based on what you pick, in a way very similar to EU4 (A game I know is one of Brad's favorites) GalCiv has always been rife for some EU-style events Example: you pick a policy that makes you militarily aggressive, you might get an event that req

Reply to Age of Wonders 3 release date march 31. Lots of previews in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="kwm1800" reply="78" id="3455373"] So.... after a lot of hours burned on AoW3. Positives against FE/LH 1.) Hero's levelup is almost as bad as original Elemental's. Way too simple. Only thing that makes levelup meaningful is that unlike Elemental series, the game is well-balanced and still can make specialized heroes if you choose traits carefully. The hero's high initial hp also makes him/her not as utterly as useless as FE

[quote who="Tattyhat" reply="57" id="3455042"] Never mind, it was only £30, and I think you can get a refund from GOG, if I wanted one that is. It has done one thing good that is worth mentioning. It has made me appreciate LH much more. [/quote] I have to agree with you Tatty. LH is alot better if you are like the two of us, prefering strategy over tactics. That said, AoW3 is a good game and alot deeper then games like
