Reply to 3B - Load Game Limbo in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

When this happens to me I press escape a few times until the options menu comes up. Then I hit "back to game" and I am able to play. Almost always works for me.

[Suggestion] Allow Raise/Lower Land in Enemy Territory in War of Magic Elemental Forums

In the current build it is impossible to raise or lower land within an opponents area of influence. I think these spells would be a lot more interesting if they could be used any where. With the current settings an opponent could wall themselves off with mountains and only lower land to let their own troops out. As long as the mountains are inside his area of influence there would be no way to counterattack.

Reply to Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries available for free in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I was waiting for this release and I'm glad it's out. I spent a while and struggling through the various stages of the install process with MTX but I'm giving up for now. According to the homepage they are going to release a non-MTX version in a few days, which they probably should have done to start with.

Reply to $300? Best CPU/MB/RAM for the money? in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

This motherboard/RAM/CPU is about $400: http://www.hardware-revolution.com/hardware-revolutions-1000-gaming-build-version-2-0/ This one is just barely under your budget: http://www.hardware-revolution.com/600-gaming-pc/ The more you spend the longer it will last. Personally, I have the i7-920 but I think the i5-750 is probably the best deal for the price.

Reply to Anyone else think its a mistake to let the game end when your wizard dies? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'd rather see something like the banishment system from the RTS Sacrifice. Once destroyed the channeler would return after a number of terms determined by a several factors. In order to completely destroy the channeler some ritual would have to be performed before the channeler reappears in the world (although in a weakened state: low health, low mana). The channeler would have to reappear at the place where the ritual needs to be performed so that if the channeler reappears the enemy would

Reply to Tech trading is ridiculous! in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Before you could ignore researching weapons and pick the techs up through trading. Now things are much different. Though I haven't tried to play with tech trading off I still find it useful. Instead of trading for techs try selling your techs for cash. I sell the AI the defense to their own weapons. This allows me to rush buy more at the start of the game, before my economy kicks in.

Reply to What elements in Galciv2 are useless (or almost useless)? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I have to disagree with you about the invasion tactics. I use all of them. For example tidal is very good to use if you know your first transport won´t succeed. Gas is great if your advantage is really low compared to the enemy, and mass drivers when you need the extra power.
