Reply to EMAIL IS OUT! in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I find myself anxiously awaiting an email that will tell me what I already know: that tomorrow I can play FE. So why am I anxiously looking forward to the email?

Reply to A Reminder: FE will be terrible and give you a disease in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

I'm happy Stardock is dropping multiplayer support for FE in favor of devoting more time and resources to the overall experience. I generally dislike TBS MP; I doubt I would've even tried it. Now, for FPS and RTS games I love human opponents, just not for TBS.

The background looked cool but I definitely prefer the new spacing. Thanks!

I think they made minor changes to the forums. The gap at the top is now smaller.

That's an awesome tactical battle map. I wonder how he ended up in the Colosseum?

[quote who="Cruxador" reply="26" id="3057328"] Looks good overall. However here on the forums, these grey bars where the reply and quote buttons appear don't look pretty. They contrast too hard with the rest of the site. They should be darkened by like #666666 or replaced with something else entirely. Also the bid space at the top may look pretty, but scrolling past it for every thread is just annoying. Get rid of it, or put an anchor point at the beginning of OP&#39

Why the hell are you still using 3.6?

Reply to FE: Latest Screenshots in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

The screenshots look awesome. It does look like the tactical maps take at least some inspiration from the location on the strategic map at which the battle takes place. For example, I would guess the bottom screenshot is of a battle taking place at a city. Is this in fact the case?

Reply to Expansion for War of Magic in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Now that you've introduced unit based turns it is difficult to see why they haven't appeared earlier in games. Like Frogboy has said, unit based turns offer much more depth than player based. I'm really looking forward to playing the beta.

Reply to Who is running 64-bit Windows right now? in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

I run 64-bit versions of Windows and I do play games. I'd be excited to see 64-bit games because I want to see what developers can do. It certainly wouldn't be my only point of consideration; I'm not going to run out and buy a 64-bit game I have zero interest in. But it may push me over the edge.

Reply to Less than 10 days to go… in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I'm very excited. FE looks really good. I sense a long weekend coming in two weeks...

Reply to Finally uninstalled Impulse...you? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I only bought Stardock games on Impulse so I have zero need for it now that you can get all their games directly from them now. I like Gamersgate a lot. There's no client or anything and no limits. I like Steam for the social features.

Reply to Pre-Beta Gameplay Example: The Rise of Kir in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

But if getting married has no effect than why would it be included? It's just a feature that has no purpose. If there were no offspring from or effects of the marriage I don't think it helps immersion at all. A full fledged dynasty system would be cool but I fully agree with their decision to scrap that and focus on other features. Of course, a hybrid monster of FE and CK2 where you can control a dynasty of channelers as you try and expand your rule would be awesome.

Reply to Game Development: The Internal Commercial Game Review Process in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="LORD-ORION" reply="14" id="3051327"]So how much longer until digital distribution cuts out the need for a publisher? Especially for PC only titles.[/quote] I think one of things Frogboy was trying to say was that you can't cut out the publisher entirely. Even if the publisher no longer has to produce physical media they still play an important role in game development.

Reply to Game Development: The Internal Commercial Game Review Process in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I really liked the post. It's interesting that the divide between the publishers and developers is so important even if they're part of the same company. And if the examples given are indicative of the kind of feedback this system is giving you on the game prior to the beta than I think it was an excellent move.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Pre-Beta Ad-hoc video in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Cool. I think having the spells coming from champions is a really cool mechanic. It makes champions more valuable and makes magic have an added air of mystery; you have to depend on the knowledge of other heroes instead of researching them all like technology.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Pre-Beta Ad-hoc video in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

The game looks great. I have a question: you said your champion left. Can champions defect or abandon players or did I mishear and the champion actually died?

The game looks awesome. I'm looking forward to playing it.

Reply to My Distant Worlds: Legends Review in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="onomastikon" reply="10" id="3039499"] Hello there. I also enjoyed reading your review (although at times I found it a tiny bit too verbose -- I mean this merely as constructive criticism! Sometimes less could be more, but that is merely my opinion.) You did a good job, only very few typos. I have a couple of questions, if I may. I am still one of those people who are greatly inhibited by what seems to be a very hefty pricetag for this game. Hence: 1. I h

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="39" id="3038604"]CK2 looks good, but will probably wait a bit for them to patch it before I buy it. Paradox being Paradox and all. Super excited about it though, CK is one of my all time favs.[/quote] I definitely can't fault you for that but the various let's plays all look really good already. I know that doesn't necessarily speak to stability on a wide range of systems but hopefully with two months still to go they'll polish it down to a

Reply to So, with the Beta being pushed back, is there a new Beta timeframe in effect? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

People seem to be getting a little antsy. I think a new beta ETA would calm everyone down.

Reply to My Distant Worlds: Legends Review in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

It seemed to be a thorough review. I enjoyed the first expansion and it sounds like Legends made it a lot better. I don't think DW will ever command a large fan base though. It doesn't have flashy graphics and it has very deep, complex gameplay. I don't mind the graphics and enjoy the complexity but I don't think it's a recipe for mainstream success.

[quote who="Thormodr" reply="37" id="3038356"]I check in everyday to see if there is new info. The only other games I am remotely interested in are Torchlight II, Victoria II: A House Divided and Crusader Kings II. All these games will be out in 2012. [/quote] CK2 looks awesome. That and FE are the two games I'm really looking forward to.
