I disagree that sons and daughters shouldn't inherit their parents spell books. That what inheirantacy is. I like some of your other ideas about selling off daughters one should get something out of the deal instead of just a friendship pact. Higher leveled children should bring in more loot agreed. The in line for the throne doesn't always mean the oldest child. In Medieval times there were several ways someone could take the throne instead of just the oldest. I always preferred the st

Nothing wrong with the UI it's fine and great and easy to understand.
Paradox does it and they have oodles of forums as well. :)) But, then again Paradox has Gestapo Moderators to keep the riff raff down an out as well.
[quote who="Answulf" reply="66" id="2733805"]I can tell you this: At first I would have said yes, go ahead and buy it - but the more I play and the more I read positive, constructive feedback in these forums - the more I wish I had waited myself. I have played a lot in the past two days, and I can tell you with 100% certainty that the more you play, the more serious flaws you discover. The bugs I can live with, the major flaws/balance issues and really weak AI make
[quote who="Lord KiRon" reply="245" id="2733863"]The more I play the more I convinced the game is unplayable and more I like it. Paradox? No, Greatest strategy game of the decade, but bugs kill all the fun. So article has a point. StarDock brought it on iteslf by releasing unfinished and untested game. Great game however. [/quote] Hey if you had read Brads comments long before the game release he said "The game will NEVER BE FINISHED". But, your comme
[quote who="shadowtongue" reply="228" id="2732518"] Quoting Rune_74, reply 226 Quoting Birdmon, reply 224I am sick and tired of spending my hard earned money on UNFINSHED games. I will NOT buy this game. We keep accepting unfinshed product as "ok" - because they all do it. Well it stops now for me. Good Luck fools Thanks for sharing now get lost...if you don't have the game, don't plan on buying the game, you got nothing.<br
I know a great solution to stop a lot of this riff raff troll copycat postings. Have everyone register their game serial number like Paradox does it to be able to post here. No register no postie. ;))
[quote]wearing 10 amulets and 20 bands is just silly. [/quote] You obvioulsy never knew or saw MR. T I'd also say after reading the OP's post that he's more into Multiplayer than single player. Everything he talks about lingers toward multiplayer fun and balance. I personally don't care for it. He's trying to REDESIGN the game just like the other trolls that post these things. Really you guys should know Stardock and Brad have their own design agendas and they are go
[quote quoting="post"]I tried playing Galciv 2 with all the patches and expansions a few days ago, and I got bullied and wiped out by the AI in normal difficulty. I remember having the same issue with the first Galciv as well when I tried playing the updated version of it some time ago as well. Brad, or anyone else which reads this: Stardock seems to always listen to the 'Hardcore' war-mongering fans which complain about how easy the game is, how passive the AI is, and how this is
I swear where has all the time gone? I've played 3 days of this now and don't want to stop to sleep now. haha I have 1 more day off wow it seems just a few moments ago I had 4 days off to play this. It's a lot of fun because it's new and it's something I've waited for for a long time. Since Master of Magic actually. It has so many elements of so many other fantasy strategy games also. MOM, AOW, HOMM, and Alpha Centauri and it's 3D too which is the only thing that too
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="50" id="2732579"]My 2 cents on ANY game I'm on the fence for: Wait for a demo. $50 is a lot of money and if you're not sure about something, wait for a demo. [/quote] But this game is already worth $50 even $80 which I paid. You can't let a handful of malcontents ruin your sales when the game clearly works for a lot of us without CTD's or other things some are saying are happening. I can't believe I have the only game that
[quote who="SqueekyRat" reply="30" id="2730930"] Quoting rossanderson48, reply 29 and worth playing? It's worth playing now, please take your trolling ways to another forum thanks. Edit: For the love of goodness Stardock et al why do you let these trolls continue to flood this forum with their obvious trolling posts to just in yer face you now? Ban them or move them please as I'd rather read the posts of those enjo
[quote who="commanderpwg" reply="31" id="2732677"]The game is definitely NOT ready to be played right now. I pre-ordered the game based on the great concepts that were promised, unfortunately they are not delivered as of the latest 1.05 patch. I highly recommend waiting at least a month and checking back here before purchasing this game, it seriously feels like a clunky beta test right now. [/quote] You're wrong...next overreacting player please?
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="4" id="2699283"]Elemental will never be finished. As for when it'll be worth playing, I would say August 24th. [/quote] Lol way to go Brad that'll teach him to mess with you. ;))
[quote who="SnallTrippin" reply="13" id="2732052"]Just remember to POWER LEVEL your spouse (CAREFULLY) before you have children (Or before you marry). [/quote] This isn't a game about powerleveling or gaming the game. One should marry what one can get and then let the child grow up and gain their important stats. :))
[quote] Also, AI sovereigns START OUT MARRIED which is unfair and unbalanced.[/quote] Oh quit whinning it's perfectly fair the ai is never as good as a human player so getting a spouse before you do is perfectly fair. I guess you never played The Guild 2 either as they get spouses and some even start out with children and it's a wonderfully fair and fun game. :))
Hang out at bars. ;)) baw hah hah hah
I say everyone who buys PCgamer UK and is a fan of Stardock should immediately cancel their subscription. We'll show em.
[quote who="ZeratulTheDT" reply="161" id="2731736"]Eh, I could play through the entire single player of ETW on release with little difficulty. Obviously, that is just my experience. Also, ETW is a lot prettier than this game, and had a much more cohesive and useful veterancy system (see my post above regarding sovereign veterancy). Additionally upon release ETW's multiplayer was functional, so IMHO it wasn't "way buggier" than this game. [/quote] lol I remember the for
[quote who="asteroides" reply="159" id="2731730"]Pc gamer gave Spore a 91% score. I rest my case. [/quote] Exactly I had forgotten about that POS game for kids.
[quote who="rpanic" reply="151" id="2731630"]Since when is it ok to release a game in this shape? The article is correct I have told my friends the same. I was shocked when they released this game in this shape, makes it look like they have no respect for their customers, it was all about selling the game and making a buck, I guess they don’t care about the future. I have been a loyal Stardock customer since GC1 first came out and it’s sad to see that they did this. They have no e
I rate it very highly. I'm playing on a small map with 5 computer ai opponents with extreme difficulty and getting nice interaction and challenges from them. Next game I'm going to put maximum on the map. I remember in Master of Magic the best challenging games were on small maps with max ai opponents which was just 4 back then.
[quote]i think my expectations of games running 100% right out the box died way back with Daggerfall.[/quote] Glad you brought that up because just like Age of Wonders, Daggerfall was another game that was horrible upon release (so they said) and it too became a classic. I remember both and I loved and enjoyed them both. So, Elemental is going to be right up there with them (already is for me).
[quote who="VR_IronMana" reply="83" id="2730925"] Quoting rossanderson48, reply 72 I'm playing on pretty much the same with an ATI 5770 card so I should be having issues every 5 minutes but have only had 1 going on 3 days now. I think a lot of gamers blame the game for computer issues they have. Or they buy crappy DELL or HP machines and expect them to be as good as an Alien or Ibuypower one. ) Hey now, I'm playing on a crappy HP machin
Oh I remember Civ IV release who could forget the thousands of "memory leak" posts when it was released and the 10's of thousands of graphic card issues with Nvidia drivers. Yeah don't tell me how wonderful of a release Civ IV had lmao.
