SK is my favourite game, of this type. I would easily give it a 9/10 and once a few bugs are fixed it could get to 9.5/10. It has that one-more-turn factor, in spades. Every game plays out differently. Each "hero" can alter the game style. Not that it can't be improved. For example, - I have never found any use for changing landscape - placing roads is another redundant spell - I never harvest mountains or forests <p

In my games the summon "dog" statue does not work - no pet dog joins my army Consume potion for 50 XP doesn't add any experience A few of the other potions also do not appear to affect my unit.
I have experienced the following twice - once in the final battle against the SK Into the battle turn 2 or 3 and all of sudden screen comes up saying that I have won. The battle was no where near finished.
I have noticed a number of times that when my units consume 50HP potions (beta 5.4) that they in fact don't restore any HP points. I have also noticed that a few items simply disappear when you assign them to a unit. The one I remember best was a a cloak that came into my possession as loot, I believe it conferred dodge ability (but not shadow cloak), brownish icon. However, when I equipped it simply just disappeared.
@Yarlen - I am so happy!!!! I installed the VC redistributables from the ashes subfolder and then ran setup of directx and it works!!!! I have a feeling as more people buy Ashes you will probably get this issue more often unless the installation deals with this possibility.
OK update, I got all excited when I saw there had been an update via steam. However, excitement was short lived - no change. I decided to pay more attention to the error I was seeing when I ran ashes_dx11 directly which is 0xc00007b which appears to be a mismatch between 64bit and 32bit software. I followed all the suggestions ht
@Yarlen UID-579-56261 Brad A has been working with me on it. All the scans etc have been handed in. No rush, I understand it is a new product, I am just keen to get to see Ashes running.
No, so far I have been asked to send in logs of the software but no updates or suggestions that have made any difference. If I double click the ashes_dx11.exe I get an immediate access violation - i.e., no pause which suggest resources cannot be found or something simple like that. If I run direct from steam by pressing the "play" button I see the blue windows circle for a split second and then nothing. As if I haven't pressed anything.
Yes, no joy so far. I am waiting for support people to get back to work after the weekend. ;)
It downloaded quick for me but the game doesn't work and now the thread i posted is set to "access denied" which is a bit odd https://forums.ashesofthesingularity.com/467508/get;3565711
I activated Ashes in Steam It has finished installing Press Play Ashes in steam client * nothing * Double click icon on my desktop brief whirling of the cursor and then * nothing * No error messages - I restarted the computer. --------- So the app won't start. I went to the common apps folders to start
I have contacted support. It looks like my "accounts" are a bit of a mess.
cheers i will do
The original Bard Tales were awesome, back in the late 80s :) The new Bards Tale will be party based, but I got the impression that it won't be isometric, but POV with your party members around you - however, I could be wrong. The best place to find out more is simply to follow the link above to their kickstarter page.
Just a question about the badges - how do they work? I have purchased the Ashes of the Singularity Founder's Edition but i don't seem to have a a badge like other members.
They are very close to fully funding this party based RPG
Frogboy you are saying all the things I like to hear Like TA - check Company of heroes - check Kohan - check - mostly forgotten classic game
In my opinion there are just two games. The first three and then Sorcerer King The first three in my mind just all run together in a blur. No major significant differences, they all look the same, the game play is fundamentally the same. Just small difference that in the long term just blended together in my recollection. Having said that I have played over 700 hours with the first three. Brad will undoubtably have very different ideas but I believe&nb
I won't put in a blurb, you know if you like party based RPGs. If are then you will be interested in finding out more https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/the-bards-tale-iv
RTM = release to manufacturing I was under the impression that it was available for the public from that date. I am hoping it is going to be worth it. I believe MS knows they can botch yet another release of windows - 8 and 8.1 were pretty horrid experiences for many people. The bits "missing" from Windows 10 don't really amount to m
Quite a few games provide the "been there done that" feeling. It is annoying when you get the latest and greatest and then your excitement quickly disappears. Civ 5 comes to mind and beyond earth.
@Trojasmic odd, I have the opposite feeling. I enjoy SK much more than LH. I also expect SK to become even better before release. But we digress. 90 hours is along time to play a game and then say you don't like it.
I agree - it looks better than i would have expected based on the last few installments
The lts are a bit of a push over later in the game. They need more henchmen to soak up some of your attacks. At the moment I can take out the Lts by simply concentrating on them for a couple of round of combat. I love the idea of the world getting gloomier as the doom counter goes up. It could be that the ground ruptures in places and smoked and ash spew out, the trees could start looking sickly etc I also like the idea that when the last Lt is re
