Tried DoW 1? Completely different game to DoW 2 really, don't let it put you off, I hated it also. If you haven't then the gold version of the game can be picked up for silly money and is worth a purchase.
Technically coming up with a line of sight algorithm that can check all units in the game individually on the fly would be one hell of a challenge. I've no idea how they could do that, beyond making it actually an extremely simple algorithm. I guess you could make it so it only updated as units move or come in to range of other units...but then you would get massive performance hits as you move your army. If you were to make it extremely simple then tons of people would be r

[quote who="CenturionJixra" reply="24" id="2252550"]I'm an unappologetic crusader for online multiplayer and I think it's a tragedy that only a small percentage of the people who purchased this game ever contemplated coming online. So, when someone puts up a thread complaining about the AI's lack of strategic decision making, it's an open invitation to encourage people to come try the game online. People have a great many misconceptions about online multiplayer and I want to clear
[quote who="adecoy95" reply="19" id="2252428"]i could be wrong, but company of heroes has an incredible ai in that game, even on normal difficulty it beats me about half the time... it depends on the map tho, the ai can be scary on maps like hill 331 they also use their patch efforts on upgrading their ai, not just balance changes, something every rts should do....[/quote] I'm struggling to believe this one, I played Relic's previous game, Dawn of War, pretty much the same
No, the AI does not suck. Compared to other RTS it uses a lot more clever techniques. After you've been playing some time you will be able to beat the AI no problem because you have worked out some niches in it's armour and how and where it is likely to attack, tell me an RTS AI that isn't like that? You can then just stack the teams a little to make it challenging. You and an AI vs 3 AI for example and ramp it up, as long as you don't require fair sides to have fu

Dude stop making threads. Next time you go to post a thread think and ask yourself these simple questions. 1) Is there a thread on this subject already? 2) Have I actually got anything to say? 3) Do people really give a shit about what I'm going to say? If you did ask yourself these questions on your recent threads you have posted then I can assure you, you were wrong on 1 or more of the above questions.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="2" id="2244162"]Well, if you don't bother with the speed boost then it's more about your playing style than the usefulness of the ability, isn't it? I always have a Marauder for the speed boost, because it easily lets you catch up to a fleet that's trying to jump out so you can nuke it with a Grav Warhead from your egg and rip it to shreds.[/quote] Perhaps, if I'm outvoted on this I'm willing to concede I must just not 'get' the ship or something, but I d

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="12" id="2242398"]They are plenty balanced. The difference is how people play. Fleets don't get maxed out in typical MP games. But try to deal with 100+ bombers/fighters without a few Flak Bursts from Kols, and try keeping your level 10 capitals alive in the end-game without Dunov's shield restore. The vast majority of the existing capital abilities have a good use, just that some don't come into play because people play short games.[/quote] But

Entrenchment 1.02 observations: Seige frigates were overnerfed a LONG time ago and are still today just as useless. A thought to improve them, how about increasing their damage vs planets but make it dependant on anti matter. So just after jumping anywhere they do very little damage for a while but as the AM recharges they become more effective. So hit and run tactics are still bad but they are good at doing the job we are paying so dearly for. The Jasarul Ev

[quote who="si1foo" reply="14" id="2241615"]this game has hardly any infulence nobody over here in the uk even knows about it so i highly doubt it will make a big impact[/quote] Personally I don't think they should release this game in the UK, the connection handling in Demigod is so ropey here.
I can't work out if you are trolling or just stupid.
Well the entire season is only $34.95, that's for 5 episodes. They will be released with roughly a month between each. It just means each one will be it's own little mini story but there will be an overall story going on no doubt concluded with the final episode. Having played the Sam and Max episodes the quality is good, I just hope they capture that SoMI atmosphere and humour just right. Although I can't garauntee it if you play through all 5 episodes you will have

Will we get to play as Jedi in this game or classes like in SW Galaxies?
[quote who="DamienShade" reply="9" id="2237650"]Basically what I take from this is that Valve took all the updates they were going to do for Left 4 Dead (like they do for TF2), put them in a new package, and called it a sequel so they could charge for it.[/quote] Maybe it cost them a lot more than they expected?

I kinda get what you guys are saying but I've got more than my moneys worth out of Left 4 Dead, best money I ever spent I think in terms of hours played and enjoyment to playing time ratio so it's first day purchase for me however They really need to solve rage quiting, can't remember the last time I completed a campaign in versus.
