It's why you can't move to a more dependant windows OS. One day you privacy and ability will butt heads. If you can't work offline, you won't be online.

Well I support my own view... [e digicons]O:)[/e] ... I think going the middle of the road will both satisfy the majority as well as continue to make it fun and entertaining to play. It is fair to say that champions need to be immortal in order for the AI to continue to be challenging. It is also fair to say that the death of your champion could easily cause a reload, thus taking enjoyment out of the game. I believe that limiting the penalty and giving excuses as to your

I love the 'chess piece' style units. Gives you the feel that your pushing troops around the map in a war-room. Don'y really like the new cloth map that's on display....it looks way better than the original....I'll grant that....but it takes away from that war-room feeling. The similar map was better, imo. Nevertheless, Stardock put time and effort into upgrading their clothmap. Doubt they'll change back and in the end, I'll get used to it. (T

[quote who="ElementalHam" reply="177" id="3193089"] Quoting Satrhan, reply 172 It's not the same thing at all, resurrection always comes at a cost, either for the one performing the resurrection, or for the resurrectee. A few turns downtime and a slight penalty to some stats doesn't make the consequences of defeat feel really significant. Fighting the same villain over and over again isn't fun, this isn't a comic. And fighting an increasingly more h

Any enchantment in the game should NOT be able to stack. That can just be too abusive.

I always use the exit button. Clicking on the screen in other 4x game has inavertantly moved an unspecified unit too many times for my liking. Exit button means no accidents....only exits.

Not that I have anything specific to add as I have not yet played FE, but these animations and quickcuts (as I like to call them) are what REALLY drove the fantasy appeal in MoM (and that was 8 bit). XD

[quote who="Malsqueek" reply="3" id="3182792"]Yup. It has been my experience that the alternate victory conditions are generally only viable if you turn conquest off or cant be bothered to hunt down your opponents utterly. - Alliances only really happen when everyone is afraid of you. Requires Conquest. - The Magic stuff takes so much production and so much time to get there that you kinda have to wait for it. Happens late enough you pretty m

[quote who="seanw3" reply="170" id="3192663"]This is a mix between RPG and TBS. IMO, the more the game starts to feel like a story, the more fun it is. Heroes and villains are impossible to kill. They always seem to be able to escape somehow. I like that this is recognized in the game. There are certainly some problems with the mechanic, but I see no reason to scrap it entirely. Especially since a resurrection mechanic is essentially the same thing. [/quote] I'

Norton Categorizes FE update as Unsafe and Removes it From My Computer

Norton is unsafe. Try use a program that virus' aren't attracted to. I have done tests: 2 machines....one with Norton and the other without. I then proceed to view questionably safe sites....the same time....on both machines. Sure enough, the Norton machine picked up the virus and has trouble fighting it; the non-norton machine I virus scan afterwards an no virus? Coincidence? I think not.

When it comes to karma, I've actually found the theory of obtaining it very hard to achieve on these threads. The fact that someone has to go out of their way in a click le click world to actually mention your positive accomplishment is quite the expectation.

I would imagine that a champion would understand their worth to you....since he/she is a unit for hire, there should come a time where they expect to renegotiate there wage. Else, they'll go else where and see if someone else wants to pay them. That would be a very interesting dynamic. Make strong champs, and their upkeep will go up. However, the increased upkeep is worth it because of the champs value. edit: and by upkeep, I refer to their hire fee

For me, I don't care one way or the other as I don't use Steam....and never will. However, IF they shut down, I wouldn't have to see the gaming community spiral towards 'steam only' games anymore. Things like Civ V or Skyrim are real burners. They're single player games, yet require online connection to play. Pathetic. And you can't argue the 'offline mode' because you shouldn't need to go online to play offline. Auto updating is a
