Gandhialf, yes it will work, since it can run on my Athlon64, but performance won't be great.

CPU/RAM wise you're better than fine, but I'm not sure about the GPU. It needs to support shader model 3, which I think the i5 does, but it's not clocked that high. You may have slowdowns in full detail. Later edit: I didn't notice the other topic.

Don't mean to dredge this up again, but it was 100% the PSU at fault. I'll be testing FE on a dual core from now on. So if you ever have a PC that has the same problems mine did, change the PSU. And they lived happily ever after. The end. I hope there won't be a sequel.

I have the GamersGate version. All it's patches are available there, on the game's page. If you like something client based, you could get the Desura version. I personally prefer GG, since it doesn't have one. It's also available on Impulse, in spite of the devs saying they wanted to pull it after the Gamespot deal.

Champions are automatically able to cast spells. What makes the sovereign special – as a channeler – is they’re the ones with the ability to derive mana from the shards. That's still not enough. Once you've got a champion, there really isn't any way to differentiate between him and your sovereign since the shard mana is collected trough shrines built by cities or outposts with no involvement from the sovereign,

I wouldn't say it came out of nowhere, this game was released a while ago, about 2 years. It runs on an Athlon 64 3000+, 1GB of RAM and an X1950Pro video card. But how it actually performs depends on how big you want it to be. I'm not kidding in the slightest when I say you can make a galaxy with a million star systems in it, that is it's best feature, you can make incredibly large galaxies. When I reviewed it in 2010, the game had a lot of rough ed

The final version seems to run better than the preview one so far. Also, the GamersGate version of Crusader Kings 2 doesn't require Steam or anything. Actually, I haven't seen a sign of Paradox Connect in it either, maybe I missed it.

I've managed to spend a few hundred turns in Fallen Enchantress, I've come up with a few suggestions regarding the way heroes and sovereigns level up and develop over time. So here goes: Chapter 1: I'm the Sovereign here, not you Since the game is going in the direction that heroes traveling the land will have the ability to cast spells on their own and the dynasty system went bye bye, any hero can contribute to the

Also, make sure you didn't use the auto turn flyby command, it was CTRL Z if I remember right.

Right then. So I spent a few hours running different game setups and timing how long it takes to AI to move between turns. At times it went all the way into the 90 second range. That actually happened with normal resources instead of dense, so there goes that theory. I did manage to get it stuck again 28 turns in on a tiny map, with few monsters and one opponent. I'm sure it was stuck, and not just taking a long time... unless it took more than 2 and a half minutes to think about doing th

Wait, so this series actually fixes the plot? I may give it a try, even if there'll probably be no Kyle "Chuck Norris looks like me not the other way around" Katarn love in it. Any chance it'll extend beyond the Clone Wars and overwrite Revenge of the Sith?

Meh, these days I tend to ignore anything Star Wars related that doesn't have Kyle "Awesome Beard" Katarn in it. I remember seeing a few episodes of the cartoon version of The Clone Wars, thought it was OK. Haven't seen the CGI one, but I did play the game based on it. It was sort of better than The Force Unleashed in regards to how a lightsaber is supposed to work, but the padwan Anakin had grated my cheese whenever she called him "Sky guy". If that happens trought the entire series,

I thought about actually playing the tutorial for once and something funny happened. I got to the "Recruit a champion" bit. The pop-up showed up, with the tutorial message, I clicked on watch the movie, it played it in the small window in the Hiergeminon (70% sure I spelled it wrong) and above it the tutorial message showed up again. I clicked watch the movie again and the game screen (ran in a borderless window) went black. No commands seemed to work, so after fiddling a bit I Alt F4'd o

I'm diving into the beta now and probably won't come up for air until tomorrow morning, so if there's anything Derek wants to tell us about any updates, now would be a good time. I'll wait five minutes and plunge head first into the briney deep.

I found a different one! Friday afternoon and Saturday I'll be playing FE non stop, so a new update would be fun. But regardless, thar be beta testing to be done! Testing I should have done last week, but I learned the hard way that it's not pleasant to play strategy games with a fever induced headache.

I played the preview build a few months ago, and it was surprisingly stable on a machine that was well below specs. I haven't gotten to the demo, but I expect it's not overly different from the other build. It was probably the most fun I've had in a Paradox grand strategy in a while. Looking forward to the final version on the 14th.

I suggest the ability to summon Devil Deer, that stalk the sovereign from a distance. They don't necesseraly do anything, but are creepy.

I remember disabling auto-turn, even auto-save. I'll get to the bottom of this. I'd hate to think I wasted dev time with a non existent issue, caused by some system fluke.
