Reply to Proposal for town siege delays (to address the roaming marauder problem) in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

This would also allow for the implementation of siege weapons. Either as a means of reducing the fortification value such that the units in the city can be attacked (if an actual siege system is implemented, per se), or the construction of siege weapons used to assault the defenders (ie, it takes 3 turns to build siege weapons when attacking a city (once the appropriate research is completed)). On a related note. Another method of making attacking cities mor

I'll second the suggestion for considering putting the dynasty system back into the game. I though this was a really great idea, and was disappointed that it never worked very well in WOM. Cheers, -tid242

Reply to Get WOM now, or wait for FE? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

There is no indication that the WOM tree will be worked on or updated. FE is the new game and further expansions will likely be solely for FE, or standalone. FE is a much more enjoyable game than WOM was to play. You wouldn't know it from the descriptions of the game or screen shots, but WOM's elements never really came together and it leaves the game with a slightly unsatisfying dynamic. FE has been a much tighter build and while WOM did not have the replayabi

Reply to Rebellion: a big step ahead? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Honestly guys, If you recall, the previous two mods started in the $30-40 range each, and came also as a prepackaged deal to get the original game/mods at a discount level to make the entire package in the $40 range. Rebellion is no different. People happily bought Diplomacy, or Entrenchment for $30 (each!, I bought Trinity for $30), so I honestly don't see what the complaint should be for buying Rebellion for $30 as well. The "stand alone" desig

It seems to be true only insofar as I find myself zooming in or out about 60% of the time while playing (the game does involve a lot of panning and zooming). Although, I don't know that I've had a crash while zoomed all the way out - not that I'm zoomed all t

Still an issue. Sorry I haven't had time to put into this game x1 week or so, but it crashed to desktop with a nebulous C++ error message and didn't leave a sins dump. this was after about 2h of play. I did turn down all of my texture/shading options to their lowest level (the ones that are available on the default vid options screen with the resolution settings and all (although my resolution was still 1920x1024).

Interesting. It caught my eye on Steam earlier tonight. I'll have to keep my eyes open for it, especially when it gets to $10 with all extra content thrown in. For now Sins and FE are about all I can handle without putting aside real life for gaming. Haven't even logged into LoL in a couple of weeks. Cheers, -tid242

I think that the pirate raids are a good "random" event. Besides, erratic human/AI behavior can be random enough (you notice the entire tech tree and strategy devoted to mitigating both of these). Cheers, -tid242

[quote who="tid242" reply="2" id="3145540"]Re: Titans. The one thing that I may not like about titans (unsure as of yet) is that if they have to be rushed to keep you from getting crushed, then it limits one's gameplay style. They currently have enough damage and life that they can kind of run over any sort of early-game defense. I say "maybe" because I need to play more games before I come to a decision on this (I never played all that much Sins o

Re: Titans. I actually really like the titans. I used to think that cap ships were kind of lame and I'd rather have a big fleet of ships instead, then I decided that caps were a necessary evil. But I actually really like titans (or at least the TEC rebels one anyway). I think it actually looks pretty awesome and gives me the confidence to steamroll systems early. My first game with 0.90 I neglected to build a titan and then ended up losing because everyone

Hehe, didn't read these forums today and the same thing after about 2.5h of continuous play. It's a MS Visual C++ "quitting in an unexpected way" that leaves no dump. Tomorrow I'll crank down some of my texture settings and see if I run into this again. As I said before, I did turn one of them up a little bit from default, so we'll see. In any event, crashing is always a good incentive to go to bed. :) &nb

Still a pertinent topic for 0.90. I've had 2 crashes to desktop both without coredumps.

Agree about "Firefly" - absolutely compelling. "The Wire" is perhaps the best series ever made (and it's entirely not my genre and still say this).
