OK, sure. When I found a pic on a site that I wanted to use as a background, I right clicked directly on it and selected "set as desktop background" Apparently, following that procedure does something to the file to alter or shrink it, making it look all pixelated when stretched. However, when I downloaded and saved the file first, and then right clicked it and selected "set as desktop background", the picture was normal.

With regard to the minor cities. In version .701, I'm able to set up an outpost right next to their cities. It seems like the minors don't have a zone of control. I imagine that if the player does plop an outpost in the minor's backyard, it will aggravate the minor, making it harder to deal with them.

I'm not sure how you got that from what I wrote. The minors are on the map, they have cities. They have units. You communicate to them via the map. There's no trade screen (ala Civ). Instead, it's conversations where you ask for things. It's more like Star Control in that sense. When you talk to a minor, you are talking to a race just like you would in GalCiv. It's just that you're not trading techs or

OK, so it looks like you have you mind set on the Civ V style of minor interaction. I could have sworn that you stated that the minors could battle the SK, but if they are nothing more than a menu of choices, and don't show up on the map, I'm not sure how that's going to work. All I ask, is that a picture of the minor faction is displayed while the player is going through the menu choices. Also, I really don't want a to be notified every few turns (like in Civ V) that

I don't know if this issue is WB specific, or some setting in Windows &, but almost all of the pictures I set as a desktop background appear pixelated. I'm using the "stretch" setting in Windows, and the "smart mode" setting in WB. Many of the pictures I'm trying to use are from the official Windows desktop background site, and some others from elsewhere. I've made sure that they are large enough 1280x1080 pixels, all .jpg, etc. What's really strange is

I would like to see additional unit types beyond what is currently available. Here are my suggestions: Knight: A unit with a higher combat rating than a soldier, but lower than a Paladin. If unit level ups are implemented, this unit would have combat buffs similar to the LH commander. Wizard: A (mostly) non combat unit that would enhance magic and magical effects on the battlefield. Sort of like a commander for magic users. Crossbowman: A stronger archery unit, w

But isn't that how it works now? Release an infinished or broken game and then fix it with two or expantions that you charge the fans $30 or more each. Its a scam and I'm surprised the majority keep on falling for it. And dont get me started about companies that release content lite games and then charge $5 for a series of anemic DLCs.

Brad, I don't know if you noticed or not, but this thread is within the SK sub folder. I assume you intended to place it in an FE/LH sub folder?

The new business model for the gaming industry is a blessing and a curse. On one hand, with digital distribution, barriers to enyry have been lowered. You no longer have to pay for cd's or boxes, inventory holding cost. Advertsing and promoting the game is much easier with Steam and the Internet in general. Also early release allows a developer to get cash upfront without delivering a complete product, nor any legal obligation to deliver one. Furthermore the long term value

[quote who="abob101" reply="32" id="3502203"] Fairly sure the budget approval process is not the point of the thread. [e digicons]o_O[/e] [/quote] Yea, but it's a point of the thread in as much as the timing of the release is concerned though.

I think there are three possibilities: 1. Someone is telling Brad the bugs are fixed or are not an issue and he takes their word for it. 2. SD just doesn't view the bugs as a big deal 3. Those bugs are "on the list" to be fixed, but keep on being placed at the end of the line in favor of more serious bugs.
