[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="9" id="3325196"]We support 64bit Windows. In fact we prefer it, everyone on the team is running 64bit. We are a 32bit process but 64bit operating systems can run 32bit applications (the opposite isn't true). Most of the applications you and I are running on our 64bit OS's are 32bit applications. [/quote] That's kind of interesting because when War of Magic came out there was NOTHING about 64bit OS in

Reply to [1.3] Blind spell nerf in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Yeah I saw that also and it might just as well be removed from the game because there's better things to use instead of a 25% chance of blind working. In my experience in life a blind person is BLIND there's no 25% 50% 75% if you are TRUELY BLIND then it's 100% bub the rest are just near sighted or far sighted or putting on to get free money in the parks. ;)

[quote who="SCampb29" reply="256" id="3325221"]I don't care for Steam because every damn little thing that HAS to load to run things adds boot overhead, slows things down while it spins in the background, periodically updates itself in a malignantly resource-sucking way, and has the potential to go flooey, sucking up valuable time on trouble-shooting that could be better spent playing. Every background program adds one more annoying step to trouble-shooting. Once u

Reply to [bug?][1291] What happened to pioneer pop cost? in FE Support Elemental Forums

I think they should write into the difficulty code that the ai will have a higher chance of taking the "wealthy" trait the higher the difficulty one selects. Practically automatic on INSANE. Either that or rewrite the wealthy trait because right now it's just too overpowering with pioneers being created from gold.

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="13" id="3325081"]Multiplayer is notoriously buggy unless it's coded by someone who knows what they're doing. You don't want to start getting into a game with some friends and then get the dreaded out of sync error. Forget for the moment the actual market for multiplayer. That's something that can wax and wane depending on the alignment of the planets, never mind how good the multiplayer experience is. But if the multi

You TRIED to SQUAHEEZE a deal out of STEAM for your FE game (you bought from Stardock) now but the deal on STEAM was for the STEAM version of FE sort of a here's a neat little cheap gift to give you for buying FE on STEAM. Now you're SCREWED and you want some kind of restitution for your FAILURE to get a cheap copy of the map pack. ;)

I had discovered this happening actually AFTER I had hit auto-explore for my group. I'd click on a spot I wanted them to go at the start of the next turn and then they'd go 1 more spot where THEY wanted to go due to auto-explore. So, I Realized early it was auto-exlplore that had taken over and once I clicked it again it stopped. So, just an accidental push of explore caused this issue I'm sure. ;)

I don't see it being needed as there's always waste in production if you've ever worked in manufacturing. A lot of it is human waste but it's waste just the same. No, not that kind of waste but humans taking extra breaks, going to the restroom before their break then going again after their break.

Reply to Will this ever have multiplayer? Will the new game have multiplayer? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I'm thankful they haven't wasted TIME and RESOURCES on multiplayer yet. Galactic Civilization II proved we don't need a multiplayer aspect to enjoy a great game. It also proved by putting ALL the RESOURCES into a SINGLE SOLO playing game that an AI can FINALLY be produced that is challenging to MOST humaan players. I perfer this method of production and hope it continues out of Stardock et al. ;)

[quote who="Darxim" reply="48" id="3324924"]What I don't like about Steam is that it makes my games take much longer to load (especially if I have no or slow Internet connectivity), and it leaves itself running when the game is done. I also don't like the in-game pop-ups it does. What I do like about Steam is it makes purchasing games, and managing installs and save games across two computers, easier. The Workshop is a nice feature, as well. It also
