Reply to Will the next update improve the performance of this game? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Something's wrong here for sure. My PC pales in comparison to yours and runs EWoM flawlessly. [quote quoting="post"] Because frankly, it runs pretty poorly. The game slows down so quickly as to become very unplayable in a short period of time. This has become a deal-breaker for me and I finally uninstalled it today. From reading the forums, it seems like performance is pretty dire across many systems. My PC has a Windows experience ratin

[quote who="Aeon221" reply="6" id="2907201"]You can build a transport ship, which is about as useful as tits on a bull. Other than that, nothing.[/quote] Harbors seem to be a serious missed opportunity.

Reply to I do not understand in War of Magic Elemental Forums

It's a shame that you have to focus on warfare so much in the beginning just to keep up. I'd like the choice to concentrate more on magic, or improving my cities. But you really can't do that, or you get walked on.

Reply to Thinking of buying GC2 in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="PiemasterUK" reply="6" id="2897933"]My package from Amazon just arrived in the post. I opened it to find it... didn't contain GC2. Oh no! However, upon closer inspection I found it contained something called "Space Unlimited Compilation" which includes GC2 as well as three other games. No idea why I was sent this, I didn't order it, but I can't complain. So now for less than a quarter of the price of the digital download for GC2 I have GC2

Reply to How do I build a damn farm?! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I long for the old days, circa Civ II. That game came with a huge, inch and a half thick manual that covered every damn thing in the game. Now, Civ V doesn't even have a real manual.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="25" id="2884714"] Quoting Istari, reply 24Well, how did Gary Coleman handle this situation? Btw, Child-Like Empress wants it bad! A name that is. Did you see the conviction and desperation in her tone, expression, and body language when she was pleading with Bastion? The way the scene was cutting back and forth between them makes you look at it quite differently when you watch it as an adult. But boy did she make him say her name.

Reply to GalCiv III tactical battling in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="qrtxian" reply="50" id="2879578"]Thing is, though, right now we have no choice but to let the AI do it.[/quote] It's different now though, because there aren't any tactical battles. So the AI is much better at accurately calculating who would win just based on numbers. The combat we watch in GC2 is just cosmetic (which is fine by me).

Reply to GalCiv III tactical battling in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

another problem I have with implementing tactical battles, is that because they happen on a 2d map/plane, even if the battles are automatically fought, it will be on a 2d plane and we will lose the cool 3D combat viewer battles. It will be like watching a checkers game play itself out.

There isn't too much anyone can do with only 5000 characters. [quote who="Tydorius" reply="50" id="2879067"] Quoting charon2112, reply 48 Quoting Tydorius, reply 47My quest was too big for 5000 characters so I had to cut out a lot of the details and the NPC interaction. I hope they ask the winner for more details so they can use more than 5000 characters. And I'm assuming since it's not been changed this far in (I'm sure there's someone that checks for errors
