[quote who="FallingStar0280" reply="82" id="3074673"]I was particularly happy to see sound and music mentioned, since not too many people have said much about it. [/quote] I've seen the fist beta being streamed. And I can say two things about music. (1) It's very good. (2) It's too repetitive (too few tracks).
[quote who="Mistwraithe" reply="10" id="3074597"]Of course if they managed to nail both Civ4 level mechanics AND MoM level fun... Mmmm, probably best they don't I might never stop playing the game!!![/quote] Have you played Fall from Heaven II ? That do you think of it in terms of MoM-like-fun and Civ-IV-like-mechanics?
[quote who="Vallu751" reply="5" id="3074511"]jmccrea, there are two X-Com reboots coming up this year. One is an FPS from Take Two Interactive, the other a more traditional tactical combat version: realtime world and turn based tactical combat. Here's an article I googled up quickly: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/01/09/first

I'm using the "quote" button all the time. I tried this time to quote two excerpts: one from the post and the other from a reply, and I got this (I hope this time it will look the same; edit: yeah, it looked like this): [quote]We don’t officially support single core CPU’s because they’re so old [/quote] Oh.

You could consider giving access to FE beta to some popular Youtube bloggers which make gameplay videos. (Couple of FE fans already made gamaplay videos, but they are not popular enough.) Paradox did this. They gave access to beta of Warlock: Master of the Arcane to a few fairly subscribed Youtube bloggers and voilà 10 thousand views in a single day (all FE beta

[quote who="Das123" reply="50" id="3064793"]I'll definitely be getting Warlock as well as playing FE. Looking forward to both. To be honest, Warlock will need to be pretty damned special to compete with Fallen Enchantress. Totally agree that the more games in this genre the better for everyone.[/quote] As it was earlier said, this game are making guys responsible for Fantasy Wars ( 1C: Ino-Co ) -- a very nice, rather simple turn-b

From Warlock's forums: [quote]And quite honestly after putting a significant amount of time into the FE beta, the only things that have changed since WoM are very shallow cosmetic fixes and additions.[/quote] This is so obviously not true. Why those fanboys are doing this? ;( It would be terrific if BOTH GAMES were great. Like you said Frogboy "The more games in the TBS genre the better off we all are."
[quote who="stevty2889" reply="34" id="3064610"]Whats the point of having a big world, if you can't reach half of it?[/quote] Is that the case in FE beta (I don't have access to it)?

Another issue guys: black margins . Some FE gameplay videos when played in full screen mode look like this and other like this (both screenshots are from James009D's videos). Possible explanation (I'm no expert, correct me if I'm wrong): I think you don't always keep the screen aspect ratio of recorded video the
I second this. I've been looking for some decent Let's Play video to show it to ppl (on other forums, etc.). Nothing good enough. There is one with commentary , but it's recorded in low quality (480p). Other one is recorded in HD (1080p), but there is no commentary (the guy seems to narrate with mouse cursor -- have a look!). <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v
[quote who="Zozz" reply="11" id="3060924"] Quoting Kantok, reply 9 quoting post I personally love the strong monster near the starting point. It makes the early goings stressful. I think I'm in the minority there though. This. I love the monsters as well. The world is supposed to be dangerous. Adapt your strategy depending on your situation.

I see. It's good you moders are already testing some new options.
[quote] It will have to start with increasing the experience requirements for each level. This will make heroes less strong and less adventurous. It will force the player to use trained units in conjunction with heroes. [/quote] I still would like to have an option to create uber-heroes which can face whole armies. Balancing -- yes, but not at cost of narrowing playing styles. Just leveling hero to uber-state should be h ard.

Making unique looking races takes time (therefore resources, therefore money) . It's not early 90s when you could create an animated warrior with wings in a few hours [e digicons];P[/e] Flying race would be so awesome ! [e digicons]:w00t:[/e] So I agree with you, of course.

You guys keep comparing FE to WoM. It's natural, but what about MoM, AoW, HoMM, etc.?
