Reply to [eMOD] Additional Faction Traits and Races in FE Modding Elemental Forums

There's a link on the very first post. Anyway, here's some ideas for a faction trait,s since you said you're looking for more. How about a trait that removes shields replacing them with specific off-hand weapons. Could be some new ones in addition to off-hand versions of already existing weapons. Not sure what you'd call it. Another idea--Wild Magic, which causes each city to have exactly 1 essence, regardless of a where it's built

[quote who="deathwatch" reply="3" id="3260887"]It's not fixed as of today. Custom faction with both Decalon and Enchanters selected...does not provide access to the spellbooks in game.[/quote] I should point out that when devs to a game say that a bug has been fixed, they do not mean that it is instantly fixed by magic across all copies of the game. That is impossible. They mean they have fixed it on their end and when the next patch is released, that fix will be

Sorry, I thought this post didn't go through, so I didn't even look for it. I know that City of Heroes support team stated it is a known issue and asked me to immediately uninstall all Stardock software and stop using it, in my case Fences and Impulse, but they seem to be suspicious of anything you guys put out, for some reason. It does seem that both were causing the same issue and I simply won't quite Impulse, so guess what game I'm not playing? I would like to re-join t

Conflict with City of Heroes Going Rogue in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Fences Pro is causing an issue with City of Heroes Going Rogue, which kills the framerate in the expansion's new areas, making the game unplayable. Uninstalling the program fixed the problem, but I would really like to be able to use Fences Pro again.

You know, I was actually going to watch this episode to give the show one last time, but now it sounds like I maybe shouldn't bother with it. The first two shows were fun. This one is not. I'd rather watch a fun show with flaws then a technically better show that is just not fun to watch. They seem to have somehow forgotten that with this show.

Reply to Noob, how do I get started in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Also, one huge difference between the civ games and Gal Civ II is the way the economy works. In Civ, research, income and production are three completely separate things. In Gal Civ II, every point of science or industry costs you one point of income, although if it's generated through civ bonuses, it only costs half for every bonus point generated. This means that your income must keep up with your production and science combined, at least once the game gets going.

I have always got to Baptists churches both in the States and in the Philippines, and not only is there no fee, but such a thing would be looked at with horror if any preacher even thought of such a thing. The things of God are free for anyone to partake of, although church member are of course highly encourage and expected to give, but no one checks up on anyone or really even knows who gives and who doesn't.

Okay, you guys are nice, but you are not explaining things well. The OP seems to think that the Pirates are a normal part of gameplay. The rest of you seem to just assume he should know this and don't bother to explain it directly and clearly. The Pirates are NOT a normal part of the game. As a matter of fact, I have never encountered them. They are a part of Mega Event, which is an optional part of the game that you select when you start a new game. Th

Don't know if it's still available anywhere, but the Wizardry series comes to mind. Also the Exile/Avernum series and most other games by that company. Fallout of course is a great one. Jagged Alliance 2 is more tactical but does have a strong RPG element and you can get all the games in that series for very cheap from gog as well, puls the modding community is particularly strong even years after release. (partly because the company released the game's source code

I'm no Obama fan, but that was one of the most senseless rants I have ever heard or read. Obama was NOT named after Sadam. Hussein just happens to be a really common name in Islamic countries. That would be like being upset because someone has the name Smith because some really evil dictator was named Smith. Not the same thing. Same thing with Obama and Osama. Not blame Ed Smith because his first name happens to sound similar to Ted Bundy's first name. Th

Requiring licencing would be taking another liberty away from the people and giving it to the government. The solution to all or problems is not, "lets pass a law against it." Sometimes other solutions work better, and some mistakes it's better to just let people make. Yeah, it's a tough name for a kid to have, but lots of kids get made fun of for their names, and he can change it when he gets older, if he so chooses. Similarly, the government also has no buisiness d

I would caution you that it is only being honest that you only use the campagns from the earlier parts of H5 in ToTE if you own them, since otherwise you are not paying for that work. Just my opinion. Also the Enlish site I linked to has everythign the French site has, in English.

http://www.celestialheavens.com A useful HOMM website. You can find campaigns and such. I'd recommend the unofficial manual and the skill wheel. By the way, many of the campaign scenarios don't feature city building, even though that is still a major part of the game, so that might be where you're confused. I'd still recommend getting all three parts if you can.

V to me is a logical evolution of III, but some prefer III, I guess. It does change the nature of the heroes though, so they are kind of in between III and IV. They take turns like the units, and can even attack creatures like units, but don't move on the maps, and cant's be themselves directly attacked. To me, attack magic is better ballanced in V than in III. It can make a huge difference, but the implosion spell shouldn't be able to wipe out whole stacks of powerf

After you've played 3, you still might want to consider looking at 5. Five has a much more detailed hero advancement system and a TON of new special abilities for the various creatures, plus the second expansion is stand alone, so no need to collect the whole thing if you don't want to play the campaigns. I also like the special abilities each race gets. But it does take after 3 heavily, and 3 is a fantastic game, no doubt.
