This all would mean something IF the AI could WIN with it. But, with all those perks and handicaps the AI is still piss poor. I have no problem with all the handicaps it gets. I just wish it could WIN with them. I can defeat it's numbers. I can defeat it's strength. There's nothing fun about it. It's just a waste of time game. One of those games with an inevitable end just a matter of "time" when. I haven't seen a game with an ai that tries to win si

Modders are freeloaders that use DEVELOPERS design and tools to modify a game. They are hardly professionals and most likely do NOT test what they have made many times over or use others to test the BALANCE issues of what they have done. Graphic modders are another thing and I have no qualm with them. But, those that change number around and core things that are possible to change I will always be leary of and so should everyone else.

Methinks he brags a lot while pressing that "RELOAD" key. :) Highest difficulty "easy" Just uses Heroe hardly any units. lol I find that hard to believe. I smell braggart without the real proof of victory. TALKS a nice STORY of winning though. They got one of those types on the AOW III forum. Tells about how he COULD have beat 7 emperor level AI's but never finished one game because he told a STORY about how he would have defeated them had he kept on playing. lol I love these "you know yo

FE/LH has more of a feeling of an RPG strategy game to me whereas AOWIII and really all the rest in its series feels like I am playing a chessmatch with fantasy figures. For me when I play a fantasy game I want to feel like I'm roleplaying as well. I like adventure in a fantasy game not a checkers or chess match. Besides if I was going to play a chessmatch fantasy game I'd play HOMM II or III or V or VI. I enjoy that much better than AOW series.

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="36" id="3466687"] Quoting Glazunov1, reply 32To the second: I'd suggest that if someone wants to make magic very powerful in their game and choose to play the leading magic-using ruler, what's wrong with that? It's their game. Leave them the option. It wouldn't be your choice, and it wouldn't be mine, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have the option to play a game balanced in their favor, in any respect. Or against them, as we

[quote who="geniusisme" reply="27" id="3466070"] Ok, then why do i encounter games with fun balanced magic? And, suddenly, these games support multiplayer.[/quote] Because "muliplayer" type players would say that because they want everything frickin balanced. You encounter it because most games since MOM have been balanced for multiplayer. Thus, you got what you wanted but sadly only about 2% of players really play multiplayer so it's important NOT to have mul

Sooner or later you're going to finally see what games like these are for. I'm surprised you haven't by now. But, some of you may be new to computer gaming so you wouldn't see it so early. These games are not made to beat you they are merely made to consume your time and try to get some enjoyment out of your humdrum lives. You sit there thinking the ai is going to challenge you and beat you but it's not programmed that way. It's just programmed to get in

As long as the game is harder and the AI CAN WIN I'm all for it. Make it horribly harder I won't mind. I'm sic n tired of these easy games at highest difficulties. I want a CHALLENGE GOTDAMWIT. I love games where the AI wins. Centurion:Defender of Rome is one of the best AI games I ever played. Above normal it was horrendously hard and I enjoyed every moment of getting stomped. ;) Spartan v 1.013 by Slitherine is another that is horrendously hard above Hard difficulty and Im

[quote quoting="post"]Brad, I've been harsh to you in the past, but I'm "on your side" now. I want the game to deliver and I want Stardock to get merit for it. But it's not there yet, and something you said in another discussion made me decide to post this. You said you wanted a 90+ score for FE. You said there's no release date. Yet you're not ready to dramatically "overhaul" mechanics at this point. Which makes sense, I get it, even from a financial perspectiv

Sooooooooooo glad there is no multiplayer as that means ALL of the resources goto the MAJORITY of US and not the 1-2% that play mp once and then go on to something else. This is WONDERFUL news. I got soooooooooo tired of the MPers helping to ruin the single player game of Age of Wonders:Shadowmagic which is now just a POS game nobody plays. Got soooooooooooo tired of balance balance balance from the MP crowd. Now, this game doesn't have to be balanced and in fact that is what made Master

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="11" id="3058153"] Quoting srw46, reply 10 I sincerely do not understand where the fallacy that MP is not in demand or important has birthed from other than a few empty vessels in the community who declare loudly, selfishly and repeatedly that *they* aren't interested but I assure you Stardock that your demographic is. This is straight up a lie. Stardock's own numbers, and numbers from other games, show that t

The OP is crazy for asking for such a removal of tactical combat. Please call the men in white suits and tell them to bring the OP a straight jecket for making such a ridiculous suggestion. I swear some people just have no common sense. Turn based tactical is what makes these types of games fun. Only an IGMO would not want them in the game.
