[quote who="Napean" reply="20" id="3252725"] Quoting TheJaker, reply 15 Sengoku? Really? Well, no Sengoku, no CK2. I saw Sengoku as a test bed (and maybe pre-funding) for CK2. No, I don't play it anymore, but it was well priced for what you got. I put Sengoku in the "Paradox Lite" category that Crown of the North and Two Thrones reside in. Just my two cents. To the OP: I agree Endless Sp

I will say no to this question: Is Fallen Enchantress the best strategy game of modern times? The game is fun now but it still missing aspects that would make it one of the best at lest IMO. First off no sea units of any kind (that is a big negative in my book) I would like to see MP but I know we won't so I won't harp too much this given that I really liked GalCiv2 and it was only SP. (However MP would give the game a few points in my book if done right)

I've used it for playing same game on my home/work/laptop computers. It's pretty nice, but using dropbox isn't to big a hassle to get similar (but not equal) capability. I don't try to setup saves to dropbox, just make a shortcut to the saves folder on my desk

Reply to The Metacritic Prediction Thread in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

Well as is with latest update I would not score it as high as CIV V. The game is better than it every was but still has some issue (weak AI, no sea units, primitive TC) I'm not currently noting bugs at this point. so I'll give it a 70 at this point. With current bugs I'd give a a 68. Now this is just the Vanilla game. I'm afraid that it aint going to get much better than this before launch. However with modding and expansions this game will go fr

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="35" id="3249415"]Just for the record, I like Civilization V. It always pains me when I see people who don't like Civ V focus on Jon. I understand why they do (just like when people put the end design of WOM on me, I wanted a freaking Master of Magic clone with MP and unit design, one doesn't always get what one wants, the tech, budget, etc. affects things more than most people can imagine). Anyway, FE is definitely a 4X game. If it's no

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="3249084"]Excellent preview and very reassuring since we definitely see the same things they see as good (and areas that need to be worked on). Whenever I read a preview, I always worry that there's going to be a set of concerns that are things that don't match what we're trying to do with the game. For instance, imagine a preview that was disappointed because they thought we shouldn't have tech trees (some beta testers made t

[quote who="seanw3" reply="9" id="3248542"]You make some good arguments and if you think about it, Derek Paxton is a great example of someone that turned an epic mod into a resume booster. Now he is doing FE. But monetizing mods would have massive legal liabilities and really limit the content of mods. In much of my quests, I take plots and stories from my favorite shows and books. Quality control and price setting would also be a hassle. And all of this is assuming there would even be a mark

As has been said, there are a few high-level champions that are great, but most of them feel like a waste of money - great, you're level 9 and have 3 traits

I don't like this because there are a lot of bad mods out there for games and to pay for a crappy mod would not be fun. No I don't want to pay for mods. And if I made a mod I would want people to play it and charging for it would reduce that number. Many would not pay for community mods.

Dont get me wrong, its a good game right now in many aspects but it certaintly would not be the best game in this genre.

But this change brings it back with a vengeance. So I’
