[quote who="KillzEmAllGod" reply="25" id="2859139"]i think i can say i hate this game, never was and never will be better then beyond divinity, they really failed at the idea of transformation into a dragon only use that for travel and some air combat never get to go air to ground combat . the way you go out to kill stuff and level up feels way to much like an MMO then a single player game. they betrayed my trust kinda like stardock did for elemental but they want to fix it no issue with that

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="7" id="2836336"]I wouldn't mind variable and negotiable time rates. But I wonder if that might be more time consuming to code? With all the work yet to go, I think we may have a better shot at seeing a change here if it is a quick and simple one. For now anyway. A future expansion including expanded diplomacy is another matter. [/quote] Nah, it would just need a popup to select the duration. A

It has been this way since at least 1.07 (That is when I got the game).

Reply to How do you declare war when you've got a non-aggression pact? Declare war is grayed out... in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yes to being able to specify the duration (thus making it cheaper to get a short one). Having a ROP pact without a NA pact reduces the value of being able to pass through their lands (they might declare war and attack) and more dangerous (they may move troops into your land and then declare war... and you lose valuable cities). Therefore NA pact should be a prereq for ROP pact, if separated.

That is why PBEM is good, it is easier to find people that are fun to play with the scedules of the players matter less, as long as they have play time. People that want a short game would not be good for me to play with, as I and the opposite an sometimes intentionally draw games out.

I have not looked at the beta, but prior to it the thing that was great about dragons was the 'Dragon Infernal' ability, which ignored all defense. Does it still have that?

[quote who="abomination5" reply="13" id="2829766"]I know Europeans have to deal with it all the time but was the publisher thinking releasing the game so much later in the US. That can't be good for business! [/quote] I do not know about Two Worlds 2, but in some cases they need a separate publisher for the US release. And some games have trouble getting a publisher in the US to be interested.

Word on the first (full) patch: [quote]The most important things are in there I think, but we still have two side-effects of optimizations we did that need to be fixed. Once that is done, we need to test it, fix whatever new problems we find and then we can release it. So at best end of next week, at worst the week after that.[/quote] That was from last Friday.

[quote who="RavenX" reply="20" id="2829491"] Perhaps it was that. If I ever get out of the house I'll have to swing by his place and try it and see if it helps. I don't really know how to explain my dislike of the graphics to be honest, which is odd to me because usually when I don't like something I at least know why..lol. It just didn't seem "right" somehow. Does the "Re-Mastered" version do anything to fix it? [/quote] It got some changes, but the only thing I

Reply to 1.0.9n Beta - Have not seen a lost library in 3 games in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote who="tjashen" reply="13" id="2829439"] That's easy. If you feel 5 tech points a turn is not effective enough, make it 10 tech points, with the rarity Brad alluded to. Then have something else that produces 5 points. Personally, even if the 'lesser library' produced 2-3 tech points, I'd still build on it, as long at the build cost wasn't extravagant. The Study only does one point now, so 2 or more points is an improvement in my book. [/quote]<

[quote who="tjashen" reply="21" id="2829430"] Maybe after the dust settles (post 1.1 with patches), some modder will figure out how to re-implement the other stats...

[quote who="seanw3" reply="17" id="2829113"]You guys don't get it do you? You can level a character to be more than one thing. If one of those things is charisma he or she will also give you gold in the form of taxes. For expanding it is a good idea to have a hero with 20 char and 12 on most other stats. Then he can work as a defending hero once you have horse and some gildar. No need to change anything. [/quote] Anything except an Archmage that is good

[quote who="tjashen" reply="11" id="2829371"]Making Lost Libraries rarer is fine, but I think we need smaller, less rare versions as well (kind of like the variety of food resources). That way, we still have tech boosting resources to help balance the equation. In my current game I've found A single Lost Library, after exploring about half of the map. It was a ways from home though, and I had to break up a stack of units into blockers to keep Capitar and Tarth from clai

He's got the same graphics card as I do but with less memory so I could get an idea of how it would look on mine. For some reason the graphics just don't look good to me and I can't pla
