[quote who="kryo" reply="3" id="2392156"]They're only disabled so people don't complain about them during the beta. Anyone attempting to play them anyway will be beaten, then fried.[/quote]So what you're saying is that we should stop reporting bugs that only exist because of something that won't be in the final game, and in fact exists solely to reduce the amount of 'Fallen iz BROKED' bug posts?

I guess this goes here, as it's the only font related post I could find in the roundup . Specifically, the fonts are not installed in 0.24. The scout is completely missing attribute text, and the advanced selection screen for factions also has alignement issues. I will be reinstalling the game to determine if this will fix the problem. <a href="http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3493/eleme

You are playing as the sovereign. You don't even have to build cities with your essense, that's just one of your tools to defeat other Sovereigns. If you want to it should be a viable play option to never build a city. If your player character dies, you die. Why exactly is this a bad thing? You (as the Sovereign) spent your essence to build your empire. You didn't spend the essence of your 'dynasty'. Finally, as the Sovere

[quote quoting="post"]... we are pretty sure that the odds of the game physically damaging your computer are way down now (probably less than 1 out of 3). Secondly, most of the profanity has been removed except from the technology descriptions and tool tips where we are still working to reduce that to a level where at least the expletives form a grammatically correct sentence. Third, the root kit and spyware that beta 1 had in it has been mostly taken out. While the game loadi

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="2390577"]We actually plan to have a ton of little event movies in this.[/quote]I'm curious how many movies will actually 'make the cut'. Surely there will be some movies which simply aren't up to whatever standards are set out Would it be possible to include movies (and other assets) that don't make the final version of the game so that modders can utilize them?

That's strange, their Support and Drivers link appears on every page of the website for me. Try this one... http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Legacy/Pages/radeonmob_xp.aspx?type=2.4.2&product=2.4.2.3.4&lang=English

The easiest way to implement this would be to make the 'flying' upgrade simply a super version of a moat. Prestige goes up, defense goes up, but other than that nothing changes. The city can't move, even though visually it looks like it's floating.

[quote who="Raven X" reply="7" id="2386696"]Could be a good idea. Perhaps refine it a little. Instead of these places being in the city, have these tiles be scattered throughout the world and if you find one you can build a town there and then get the more tile specific bonuses you speak of. These "magic building sites" could even be guarded by monsters.[/quote]Clearly you're not playing the Beta. World tiles double as city tiles. The game already has 'Fertile Ground' tiles plac

I'd also like to see greater decision in what I'm going to do with a beneficial tile. Let's take our current 'Fertile Ground' tile for example. I should have to choose whether or not I want to build a farm there. Every building should receive some sort of benefit from being built on those types of tiles. Houses for example could receive massive prestige bonuses if you build them there instead of farms. Not only that, but there should be multiple types of buildi

Easily over 200 games myself. Though it hardly counts as I'm not really playing the game, I'm trying to reproduce bugs and break the game most of the time. Most of the time they last less than 10 minutes. I've never won a game, and I've lost quite a few. In all my games I've only ever built 1 unit.

The install issue for Windows XP is simply a techincal limitation. In the end, it's no different than trying to install Windows 98 would be today. Good luck getting that working with today's hardware, and lack of drivers. Sure, it certainly is possible, but you usually have to be fairly skileld to get it done. Some might say you're going to need to be just as skilled to get around Windows XPs activation limits 5 years from now. It certainly is possible to get aro

I can only imagine you must not have had to deal with a lot of those types of products in regards to maintenance before. Companies routinely change how they manufacture certain goods so it's close to impossible to find parts for the older models, for no other reason than you buy the newer model. Most of the time they will change the way they manufacture their products solely for this very reason. If that's not making a product and then dropping support a year later, I don't

Wow indeed. I'm very much in favor of this kind of thing. I'd also like to see tiles that only help one side or the other, or have different bonuses dependant upon what side your playing.

All the other games show up properly, with the red strike through the old price, with the on sale price listed below. The two games I mentioned not only don't do that, but they don't show up on the 'On Sale' list at all. Am I missing something?
