I loved the fights to win an elemental node from the guardians in MoM. ^^ That was one of the funnest parts about MoM I think. :)

Looks pretty cool. I am liking the look of E:FE so far. A lot more character it seems. Glad to hear it's easily moddable as well. Win/win.

I must concur. I always thought that the :) smilie was a little disturbing. :P An update on magic would be nice when you get the time. E:FE is looking great. ^^

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Champions in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Looking good! I was just thinking that it had been awhile since we'd gotten some more info on E:FE. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Going out to recruit champions sounds good. High risk, high reward I think as the Fen Queen seems to be situated near the chasm/fissure. Could be dangerous to recruit her. Sounds like fun. I do hope that there are a few wandering champions though. At least the occasional one. Wandering minstrel or masterless ronin type of

Reply to Why so limited? Aim for the stars, you have the potential! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Sounds great. Can't wait for the beta. In life, making mistakes isn't important. What you do after that is important. Stardock has shown integrity in owning up to what happened and is striving to exceed expectations this time around. This thread makes me happy.

Reply to Polish Translate? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Hello Azzazell, Nice to see you from the Civ Fanatics forums. :) I sure hope that the game can eventually be translated into other languages. I know there is a vibrant gaming community in Poland so it would definitely be worth their while. :)

[quote who="Campaigner" reply="25" id="2949921"] Quoting Thormodr, reply 23 However, if a thread pops up on an upcoming FPS or something I have no interest in, I'm certainly not going to go in there and tell people, "Don't like it. It's boring. I'd rather commit suicide than play it." What the heck is the point in that other than to be a dick? I didn't mean to come off like that. I just said what I thought about it.<

Reply to Why not just get rid of tactical combat in WoM? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think they should keep tactical combat. It was super fun in AOW and it still could be in E:FE.

[quote who="Campaigner" reply="22" id="2948919"] Quoting Thormodr, reply 17 Personally, I can't stand vapid FPS's, dull grinding MMOs and the plethora of crappy games that are all style and no substance. I like history, realism and complex games that actually make you *shock* *gasp* think. Pride of Nations is that type of game. Deep, complex and pretty realistic. That I find fun and interesting. In a day and age where so many ga

I'll give it a whirl when it gets released. Shame about the minor factions. Hopefully they can be brought back in the future somehow. All in all, it sounds promising though. + LOTS of code to handle the increasing costs in terms of people to run your improvements. If anyone thinks that getting highly talented people

Double post. Lovely. It appears these forums are too complex for me. Lol.

Reply to Pride of Nations in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="shadowtongue" reply="19" id="2947611"]Well the issue was not 'complexity = bad' it was 'needless complexity = bad'. I can't comment on this game, because it doesn't interest me much for other reasons, but I really don't find many paradox titles to be engaging (yes, I know AGEOD is not Paradox...) because I do find the level of complexity too distracting, and ultimately pointless. Different strokes for different folks.<

[quote who="Sethai" reply="1" id="2947332"]More diaries are always interesting. And they give me stuff to complain about, which is always nice. Personally I'd be surprised if there is much AI work going on though. You've got to settle on how the game wors before you teach someone how to play it. Most of the problems I have with the AI would be more easily fixed by changing the game. Ie, stopping the player us

Reply to Would you rather purchase future Stardock games from Impulse or from a Stardock DD service? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Whichever option gives Stardock more $$$ I will use. If it's the same, then Impulse is fine. Unless Gamestop makes changes to Impulse that make it dramatically worse that is.

[quote who="Campaigner" reply="16" id="2947078"] quoting post Anyway, this game is not for the faint of heart but anyone who loves historical realism and a deep, complex game would be interested. Best of all, it's only $20. It won't appeal to a lot of people I'm sure but it's a game I'm excited about. BTW, I don't work for them and I'm not a beta tester or anything. I just love history and grand strategy. ^^ B
