[quote who="PocusFr" reply="3" id="3317608"]why you Sir gets the privilege of writing all your text in bold and large font? This is aggressive behavior, particularly in regard to the unfair disparaging of the fine game which is Age of Wonders. [/quote] mainly because when I open up this text box the font is less than a centimeter high like this and I can't read it. Sooooo I change it to THIS SIZE
[quote who="King_Felix" reply="1" id="3317602"]Well, thanks for the link. Actually, AoW SW is a very dear game to me and some of the maps and scenarios made by the community are great.AI could be better, but that's the fact for FE as well. I like FE alot, especially the modding simplicity. I also believe Legendary Heroes are a step in right direction. However, I'm sorry to say FE hasn't been able to grip me in su
http://www.ageofwonders.com/aow3live/ While Triumph Studios did make some fair graphics they never mastered a challenging AI and thus their games of the Age series were mediocre at best. I played the entire series and seriously the 1st one was their best one except for the fact it had no random map generator thus one had to play the same crappy maps ove
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="3316430"] Quoting Mytheos, reply 6 libcurl.dll Error same as above... Really starting to about loose it, played Elemental and ended up paying for an alpha that was abandoned a month after release,.. And now FE which has half worked at best through 5-6 different patches, and this time I feel like I am paying to play a beta. I have enjoyed several Stardock games in the past and I cant comprehend how this is from the s
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="20" id="3316799"]@psychoak Amen. I love Master of Magic more than most. But I don't kid myself about the shape it was in when it shipped. Luckily, it was a very FUN game. But it was, by today's standards, completely broken. If it came out today in the shape it was then, you'd be talking 50 metacritic. Even back at the time, it got panned for being so buggy. There's a reason there was no MOM 2. Peop
I'd be interested in knowing how many players are getting CTD's with Nvidia cards vs ATI/RAEDON cards? Could be a pattern that something is wrong with Nvidia cards and this game. :)
[quote] 3. Monsters seem to still be too passive. In my current game the AI walked up and planted a town one square away from a dragon lair. The dragon got up and wandered off, instead of demolishing the town. I would like to see displaced monsters become much more aggressive than they are now, after all they are refugees, forced from their homes. Traditionally such entities be
Age of Wonders Shadow Magic having a challenging AI? hahaha When I see someone talk about it having a challenging AI I am not sure we are thinking the same game. That is the most easiest unchallenging fantasy game of them all. At least in MOM the AI won't put up with you invading their territory like you can in AOW:SM. I made an alliance and set 3 full stacks to one of the AI's capitols and even waited a few turns and then declared war and destro
I thought this game wasn't optimized for 64bit? Did you sneak in a fix while I wasn't looking?
[quote who="Bellack" reply="57" id="3311202"] Quoting baddl, reply 15 I will never understand the mindset of people who suggest that serious bugs (and nuisances, for that matter) need not be fixed because there are (obvious but tedious) workarounds. ("Obvious" after you reload the savegame and try again.) Even a game should not waste our time.Fixing bugs probably should attack the problem from two sides: (1) Fix the easy things immediately. (2) Acknowledge harder p
[quote] So IMO you can go all champions if you want[/quote] And you would be CORRECT. But, we have MIN/MAXERS in these games that THINK you have to play OPTIMALLY to gain victory which is WRONG. I see them do this in MMO's as well. Somebody comes along with a COOKIE CUTTER build that CLAIMS there's nothing better and the LEMMINGS flock to it like flies
Question: Did you start a BRAND NEW GAME after the patch or did you try to play an OLD SAVE?
[quote]You can queue up a pioneer and it will subtract the population, and then cancel it later and it will give you the 30 population back, even putting you over your food cap (which lets you cheat).[/quote] So, DON"T CHEAT solves that problem an issue. :) Also in Civilization III & IV they solved the city spamming problem by increasing the amount o

[quote who="Sanati" reply="2" id="3310258"]It makes sense to you that by waiting one more turn for the effect to wear off in battle before dealing killing blow you keep all your movement points? Why if you're poisoned/blinded/withered at the end of battle you aren't still so after battle? This is clearly a bug. Oh, and a game turn is an entire season, 3 months, far more than 24 hours, so ya even waiting 24 hours or several weeks for the spider webs to come off should still
I remember the ai in Rome Total War was like that. They'd come to me to make peace because I was stomping the crap out of them and they'd give me 10000 denari and the very next turn they would declare war on me again. This became repetitive until they were broke and I'd have 100,000 denari in my coffers. Carthage was easily exploited by this as I'd make peace and then blockade their ports the next turn and then they'd give me 10000 de
[quote] 3. Finishing a battle while rooted (web) removes all movement points after battle. So if you have 5 MP and attack a spider on a plain and finish while webbed you'll be at 0 instead of 4. [/quote] Just because the battle is over doesn't mean you became unrooted. So, you lose the whole turn of movement if you become rooted. ;) Makes sense to me h
The ability or option to watch the ai fight itself in battles. The ability or option to set the ai aggression levels an allow them more alliances with one another. A totally impossible difficulty setting so these snot nosed brats can't come running to the forums bragging about how they beat it. ;) The ability to se

Yes, you should get this game NOW! It's the 2nd best turn based fantasy game next to MOM (Master of Magic). It's not quite there yet with Galactic Civilization 2 but, I'm sure Brad will make it so. Join the fun, get in on the forum speak. ;)
AOW:SM was soooooooooooo BAD even the developers and publisher ABANDONED it. Nuff said. :)
[quote who="davrovana" reply="27" id="3308534"]GFireflyE- Oblivion was amazing, easily one of the best video games ever made. Morrowind's story was by the far the best. Overall, though, Skyrim is probably the best overall game of the three in terms of general quality. But how can I fault you for preferring Oblivion when it was so good? [/quote] DAGGERFALL was the best of them all. The music the atmosphere the 150,000 actual square miles of exploration. I once

Don't you guys know by now it's the AV developers who write these viruses forcing you to buy their products. Doesn't it amaze you how FAST they write a virus fix after a socalled virus is detected? Making them look all good and great. lmao. If you BUY a virus protection/removal program you are just throwing your money away. I've been running without a paid one for almost 20 years now and have only gotten one issue that a small FREE program like
