Reply to Gamestop, Impulse and Stardock in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

One other thing to consider here. In broad terms companies are acquired for one of two reasons: Company or division is failing (think Myspace) and it can be purchased for cheap. Goal here is to acquire any valuable assets and absolutely gut the entity with layoffs and restructuring. Bean counters are in control - it's all about making a cheap investment and nuking the purchased entity. Profitability and cutting SG&A expenses are the rules of the day. Comp

Reply to [1.20] Tactical Combat Bug - Floating Damage Counters not Showing in WOM Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="SeaDan" reply="1" id="2916501"]I have occasionally seen this with previous versions. With the latest update its occurring at a significantly higher frequency (approx. 50% of attacks). I've even had a few battles where no values appeared for the entire battle. [/quote] Yeah, I've been continuing my game thus far and it's definitely common. The really good news: not a single DX error or OOM yet. On top of that the game performance seems t

Further more.. yes nothing in the general agreement has changed as of yet.. the difference is who will be calling the shots. Before it was stardock who up until now showed a great deal of caring for gamers in general. Now its gamestop.. who doesn't gi

[quote who="nOObonian" reply="2" id="2916430"]Is it an absolute increase of gold or a %. If percentage, I would send every caravan to a gold city. [/quote] % increase but each settlement can only send 1 caravan to each other settlement. What I do is always send 1 caravan to my capital and the other 2 to help build road networks. My capital is my gold farm (always take the gold levelup bonus and build the gildar improvements). I had one game a few patches ago where my capital

I think it's the feeling one gets when he/she can't see light at the end of the tunnel. I feel the same way sometimes.

I think Impulse was bought for the: Brand and respect that goes with it Knowledge and expertise As opposed to reinventing the wheel, why not buy the wheel and then build the car around it? Small or medium size private companies can make gobs of money when they develop something the big boys want. Now that we know what Brad has really been doing the past few months I'm hoping he has both the money and time to work on EWOM/FE AI - o

[quote who="Gwenio1" reply="9" id="2915765"] Quoting AlLanMandragoran, reply 8 Recommend tempering knee-jerk reactions and remain cautiously optimistic. No need to go all Chicken Little yet. But it never hurts to stay on the safe side and archive all your games to disc and make Impulse prompt you before updating incase things go squid shaped. [/quote] I hear ya. On a side note my squid friends are rather sensitive and would prefer use

[1.19i] Pioneer Pathing Issue in WOM Support Elemental Forums

In this example Pariden's pioneer is "stuck" within my zoc. They were pathing to the upper right to settle the area around the open apiary but then my zoc expanded and now the unit is just sitting there instead of moving and subsequently being forced out of my zoc.
