[quote who="ErikCurre" reply="3" id="3324676"]The game does support 64 bit systems. It just doesn't take advantage of the extra memory available. I am running Windows 8 64 bit, 8 gigs RAM, with a Radeon 7850 graphics card, and it runs like a dream. I can play for hours without a crash. Problems like what you're experiencing are typically related to the graphics card. I suggest sending an e-mail to Stardock; they are generally pretty responsive and helpful

I have two of these suckers (playing Beastlord) and a couple of Large Spiders ROck is one forget the other one. But, these Cave Bears are frickin awesome. They have this skilled called MAUL and they get to continuously strike at an opponent until they MISS (opponent dodges). Oh man I've seen these two things take down giants (ogres and elementals) with this skill. I got these puppies early in the game and have been just wiping the map with them. Of co

[quote who="Star Adder" reply="3" id="3324738"]Well, in MoM mages had a single fireball at their disposal, so that request would follow the spirit of MoM. if it's not too hard to implement: why not! Allthough mages are quite powerful as they are atm even without an additional fireball. Maybe they could be transported a bit further up on the tech tree or mad more expensive in terms of ressources and/or laborwork. Just rember how long it took to build a magician guild in MoM...

[quote who="Rhaegor" reply="37" id="3324745"]I wonder if in another 10 years people will still be complaining about Steam. [/quote] Doubt it as Steam probably won't be around by then. Bankruptcy an all that. Surely you guys didn't think the Euro government and the US Supreme court were going to let them get away with taking away consumers rights forever?

The ability to WAIT instead of just pass. Sometimes I want a certain unit to go last but I don't have this choice because I don't get one. Civilization, Alpha Centauri, MOM even AOW I think had this feature. WAIT is very necessary when trying to tame a creature as if it fails then I have all my other units if I could WAIT them to pulverize it afterwards. ;)

They really should separate the pioneer portion of the pioneer from the outpost ability of it. Make an "engineer" unit that does the outpost part and just let pioneers be settlers and scouts. I was surprised there was no ability to create a new pioneer type unit. When they cost population points it was even worse. At least now I can churn them out like candy and get outposts and look for settlements although it would be nice to create one that has the "monsters

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="20" id="3320823"]I just saw the AI go to an area that had a 4/3/2 (grain/materials/essence), a 2/3/4, and a 4/3/0 tile right next to each other. The AI settler chose the 4/3/0 tile to build the city. BOOOOO! FIX IT! [/quote] I would think that the tile the AI settles on would be related to difficulty setting of that AI.

My question is: Are they still going to support FE after LH comes out? Or are we on the last train to Georgia with this 1.3 update/patch? I don't really like the changes in LH myself. I like champions on the map to find and I like random levelup choices. I really wish I had a choice of getting it FREE or waiting for something BETTER down the road. It's like they are forcing something as bad as Element

Let's face it after CIV II nothing was really better as even today CIV II stands out as the BEST CIV evah. Crossfire for Alpha Centauri wasn't even necessary it was an addon at most with a couple of new races that were even pretty much identical but still not even necessary to keep Alpha Centauri alive from now till doomsday. Granted GalCiv DID need an upgrade because it was never really finished and wasn&#

Because that would be changing the most important game core mechanic and hence turning this game into something else it was not supposed to be. This is NOT an AD&D game. End of story.
