Good Morning all So, in another recent thread I began thinking about my top 5 games. It's turned into a top 10, but I broke it back into top 5 (Dos) and top 5 (windows). Out of curiosity and fun, I welcome opinions as to what your top 5's are. I'll start: Top 5 Vintage (Dos Age) Tie Fighter Master of Magic Privateer Betrayal at Krondor Torment - Planescape Top 5 Modern (Windows Age) Dragon

[quote who="Gorde" reply="22" id="3182009"]I'm amazed so many here remember MoM enough to make a comparison!

While not quests, I really like the way fantastic creatures can be added. Being able to summon magical beasts is only half of the experiance, imo, because every wizard can potentially do this. I came across one quest/item that I thought fit PERFECTLY. 'The Knights of Asok' quest thingy. When you conquered the location, you had the option of building those units at that city. WOW! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more of this with other fantastic creatures. <br /

[quote who="UmbralAngel" reply="2" id="3181368"]I think that while it is fun, its not nearly AS fun. So I would vote 1. Reasons why: 1) Races/Heroes/Items are not unique enough 2) Almost everything is unbalanced 3) Not enough variety So once all the bugs are fixed, and the game is more polished, I think the core mechancis are fine. They just really need to take it up a few notches on the design side and

[quote who="C0LDsteel" reply="3" id="3110515"] I have Windows XP installed and I have 3.4GB of physical memory recognized of the total 4GB installed because I have the large address memory configuration flag set in the OS. Why are you asking if they have XP installed vs, Win7 when that really has nothing to do with it? I think you are probably confusing some people. Win7 32-bit also only uses 2GB of memory just as XP 32-bit does. All 32-bit versions of Win

[quote who="jackswift85" reply="30" id="3179607"]A lot of the good ones have been listed, I just have to add "Deja Q" in there. Q discovering what it means to be human was great fun. [/quote] My favorite Q episode. Q: "What must I prove for you to believe that I am mortal??" Warf: "Die" LOLZ!!

EA has frustrated the quality of product in the gaming industry for a long time now, but for me the last straw was when Bioware was bought out. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. For all practical reasons, it would seem genious on the part of EA for this move. They gained a REALLY good gaming company and merged that talent and quality into itself to assist in the development of really good games in the future, right? NOPE. A reality check shows them&nbs

[quote who="UmbralAngel" reply="13" id="3178100"]If he does leave the wilderness in the final version I think he should leave a trail of icy terrain and cast "winters grip" or whatever its called on people's cities.

Hmm...I have no experiance with Civ 5. Read the reviews...was going to buy it...only to find out that it needed steam to run. Pass. Anyways, spamming roads, even though your enemies can use them as much as you, just feels....wrong. It look and feels completely unreaslistic and should be avoided imo. It was the worst aspect out of all the other Civ games to date. As to maintenance costs, it would be very easy to nudge up an aspect of the game to compensate you for a reaso

CIV was amazing! Then I found Colonizations, off of the same gaming engine by MPS. That was awesome! Then I found Master of Magic by MPS. :o I was speechless. MPS kept getting better and Better and BETTER! Then MPS disappeared.... WHAT!!! Sad to say, they went belly-up or was bought out. Thankfully, CIV didn't end there. CIV II was put out. That game was incredible! I thought we were done there. Civ III was released with great expectations, but I real

While tatical battles may not be the focus of the game, choosing not to use them and relying on auto-resolve is a risky venture at best. If landscape mods were included in a battle, I imagine that it would be easy enough to average those mod's into a tile-mod if the combat were to be auto-resolved. This way, those that wish to focus on that tatics, can do so, and those that wish to ignore them can still get a game out of it too.

It's not just outposts. It's with everything. Resources, outposts, cities. There are messages that something has happened, but without telling me what and where and 'Would you like to GO TO?", then telling me that there is a problem is useless.

I think that being able to spawn minions and send them out to cause mayham is a much better way than having the bossman roam free. In addition, this is another reason to enter the wildlands in the first place. IF you don't, you'll have to continue to be attacked by whatever it is that the bossman is sending....though this does present an inherant flaw. If you can handle whatever they are tossing at you, you can leave them there and gain a wack of xp which would imbalance

[quote who="Kongdej" reply="10" id="3176772"] Quoting GFireflyE, reply 9 Roads should cost a maintenance aswell....else they should fall into disarray. This way, while you CAN build roads where ever you want, you won't WANT to build roads everywhere, cause it'll cost too much. Why do you feel the need to prohibit players of building roads by price?
