[quote who="Frogboy" reply="39" id="3342154"] I'm not in any sort of exile. I was at Disney World. Just got back. We released FE 1.3 in February and 1.4 is expected to come out probably this month. 1.5 after LH comes out. Same as we've done things on all our games going all the way back to GalCiv I.[/quote] Hope the vacation was a blast. Glad to see your back.
[quote who="enoeraew37" reply="36" id="3342141"] I wouldnt have to make any posts if Stardock responded to the community any time within the last MONTH. But keep baahing sheep. I'm sure if we let the farmer shave us nekkid we'll finally get the game we want. The galciv2 mods are great but they are getting no help from stardock and gee wiz wouldnt it be nice if Stardock cleaned up its own mess after how many years? Or at least sent any galciv pro
[quote who="enoeraew37" reply="24" id="3342077"] Frogboy is on self imposed quasi-exile from this project so I'm not sure he's has qualified answer we are looking for. Before stringing up the mission accomplished banner lets hear from Kael. So how does one explain the month of silence? Stardock will withhold answers until the customer appropriately grovels and debases themselves? Do we need to repeat this monthly cycle or can we have weekly-bi-weekly updates? Lack of
[quote who="enoeraew37" reply="21" id="3342018"] Someone has to be the critic. game wont get better just with leg humping alone. Others, including myself have tired asking nicely in other posts. No response. Busy doesnt explain silence. Planning to do it later doesnt explain silence. If there was a future for FE players they say "busy now but something soon" or whatever which would take 3 seconds to type. FE customers are getting dodo'd and they just dont want to say it out lou

Obviously, take any opinion you want. I'm not looking to argue the merits. I think they should give FE player
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="8" id="3341906"] The phrasing of this topic is retarded. I am also curious why 1.4 isn't released yet, given its small size and how long it's been sitting nowhere.[/quote] Possibly because their QA process is busy on LH beta updates? Or because they're waiting for LH Gold to get features/fixes nailed down that they can backport to one big patch? If 1.4 is minor, it should be easy to get out. &n
Software development company puts most of its resources into product nearing delivery deadline. News at 11.
The 30 population for an outpost issue needs some serious though. Makes me always want to have arcane monolith because trying to build a healthy network of outposts is hugely cost prohibitive otherwise.
This bug fix is already in the .51 patch notes, but I thought the screen shot was funny. I think my Sovereign walked into an ambush....
I'll occasionally use Warden and the troop boosting upgrades at outposts that mark the border to my explored or owned land if I'm parking an army nearby. I'll use the city boosting ones on a city once I get to mid game. That's it. I think some of the problem with the upgrades is that most of them are passive and to mean anything require a separately trained army to be in the area. Is it really worth upgrading an outpost when I cou
[quote who="DigitalIP" reply="1" id="3333456"] After some time you can attempt to make peace with them, atleast I was able to. I had actually come across the blood season a bit earlier and was quite surprised with the effect.[/quote] I was more asking how the mechanics that make the event function work than whether or not you can make peace eventually. Is it war immediately, but no lingering modifier? Or the high (+3 I saw) modifier that cau
So Tarth just asked me for peace. I accepted. They then attacked one of my units. Killed it. And then sent me a message about my treachery and redeclared war. This all happened during the same computer turn. At no point in any of this did I take an action except to agree to the peace treaty. Jarring as hell and certainly something not firing right. Can provide the save game from immediately after it happened.
Is Blood Season a one time thing in that it forces all factions to declare war and that's that? Recover and make peace treaties as you will? Or does it apply some sort of +war modifier for a certain number of seasons? I'm ~15 seasons post Blood Season and most factions still have a "I love war -3" relationship with me. Just curious how it works, mechanically.
If Tireless March is active on your sovereign you can't cast it on anyone else. Not sure if it's a mechanic change (then the tooltip for the spell is wrong) or a bug (with no mechanic change).
Not every race has their special combat ability listed in the mouse over text when creating a custom faction. Races without their ability listed: Men & Mancers, Also, it might be beneficial if the ability was given its own space in the mouse over box like other traits so we could see the details of the ability. "the Guard Strike ability" doesn't actually tell me anything unless I'm already familiar with the Guard Strike ability.
I know, but thanks for the tip. The bug isn't that I was unable to center on my units, but that both genre convention and UI behavior from EFE (I fired it up and double checked) will re-center you on a unit when you click on their empire tree icon regardless of whether or not they are currently selected. In LH, it only re-centers you if you click on an unselected unit.
When I have a unit/army selected and scroll the map away from that unit clicking on their picture (they're already selected) doesn't re-center the screen on them. I'm not sure if that's the way it worked in EFE or not, but I thought so. It was jarring enough that I thought it was a bug anyway.
Cool. Just wanted to make sure it was intentional. Out of curiosity, is that something that is still up in the air or is the xp calc remaining this way?
There was a line in the original LH beta change log about XP not being divided among stacked heroes anymore. It is still divided. Not sure which is the way you're going since that line is gone from the change log now, but FYI. Can provide screenshots if necessary.
[quote who="Arrogancy" reply="27" id="3331770"] I've been a programmer for a long time, and one of the things I've noticed about people in this industry is that there's a powerful desire to make things "correct" - except "correct" is usually an ideological thing, like the way a very old English teacher will tell you that you MUST NOT use the word "quote" to refer to a quotation, but only as a verb.

Toss up between Alpha Centauri, MOO2, and Civ4BtS. If forced to pick I'd probably say Civ4BtS most often, but would likely give a different answer depending on when I was asked. Honorable mention to Warlords 2, which my buddy and I fired up on his HTPC a few weeks back and played on a big screen. Good times.

It's also worth pointing out that Frogboy emphasized low hanging fruit. The easier, resource wise, a requested change is the more likely it will be to get implemented. There is no budget/time for large scale overhaul.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="40" id="3325783"] I agree. I answered "I Agree" on that. The government's job isn't to try to control unemployment but rather to provide support for an economy that will create jobs.[/quote] I've always thought stability, more than support. Businesses need stability so they can plan and invest and grow. They need to grow their company in order to create more jobs. Inflation, or an unstable currency, is instabil
