Large please. Or larger. I would play on smaller maps but half the land is taken up with throw-away "cliffs" along the ocean. Those tiles are absolutely pointless and should be removed (see Elementerra).
[quote who="onomastikon" reply="8" id="3202133"] FE is different, but still not in a state that is "fun", certainly not one worth paying money for. But again, I seem to be in the minority here.)

Any individual that ever feels compelled to litigate over a computer game is probably in the wrong hobby.
I got Fallout 3 GOTY for $4.99. I already owned Fallout 3 and all the DLC (from GFWL) but didn't feel like bothering with discs and GFWL anymore, so I bought it again.
[quote who="AragornV" reply="14" id="3196130"]Picked this game up during the Steam sale and haven't regretted it, except for when there is an elite Fire Elemental right next to my capital A few questions for you smart people:[/quote] Well I'll take I shot until the smart people get here. [quote]-I bought the DLC with it, but don't see it in my steam library. Is it automatically integrated into the game? (I haven't bought DLC before)[/quote]
I like Steam. I'll even buy games I already own just to have them on Steam. I can't be bothered with physical media anymore.
[quote who="TorinReborn" reply="6" id="3193993"]DLC's for TBS games? Is that how it is now [/quote] 200MB patch that adds significant new features for free and someone has to bitch about the DLC that was released two months ago (and is not necessary in any way whatsoever for enjoying the game - it's just nice to have). Typical internets.

[quote who="DGB246" reply="65" id="3181899"]@ Stuie Thanks for the suggestion but I was referring to the diplo option in Civ4 where you could trade maps with the AI - it helped you to uncover the world without having to send a unit to every corner of the map [/quote] Ok. I feel stupid. :D
[quote who="DGB246" reply="62" id="3181715"] I'd also like to see 'share world map' back too [/quote] You can save the world map from the save game menu. Not sure if that buys you what you're looking for or not...
[quote quoting="post"]So the expansion for Civ 5 Gods and Kings is out today. Think its worth the 29.99 they're asking? [/quote] Only if you liked Civ 5 going in. If you didn't like Civ 5, this isn't going to change your mind.
I suppose the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms was my gateway drug. Civilization cemented my habit. Thanks Sid.

I think a big problem is illustrated in some of the posts here. Multiplayer is probably used by 10% or less of the player base for a TBS game, and of that less-than-10% there is no consensus on the "best" way to implement it. So for the money involved you'd only be satisfying some fraction of 1/10th of your customers. Not worth it when you could implement something cool for the 90% instead.

[quote who="larienna" reply="10" id="3169100"] When you buy a game on steam, it's only valid for 1 computer right? I'll have to try if the demo works on my netbook, but I really doubt it. Else I'll have to buy it on my girl friend's PC. [/quote] Nope - you can install it where ever you like. You can only play it on one computer at a time. Also, the devs have said they will be adding "lords" (ie. heroes) and items in the fu
The maps in FE are just blah. The maps in EWOM were just as blah. The Elementerra mod for Elemental made some interesting maps that were fun to explore....
Free to play done right: http://riseofflight.com/ The free game is fully functional and receives ongoing support/development; you can add more planes/campaigns/etc. as you see fit, and can get bundles of planes/campaigns/etc. for a reduced price.
64-bit I would pay for.

[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="51" id="3150838"] No, I don't have a different definition, and neither does the individual with whom I'm having a discussion over these matters. Thank you for your friendly and ever so pertinent comments, however. [/quote] Sorry, didn't realize you were having a private discussion in this public forum.

[quote who="alborrelli" reply="119" id="3150098"] Also, I consider the combat tactical even though it doesn't go to a specific screen since you have to think about unit placement, range of weapons, elevation, etc etc.. isn't THAT tactical. It is to me, a former Army Ranger.. but I'll let you desk jockies redefine tactical all you want. [/quote] I'm at a loss as to why people don't understand this. Tactics are tactics, even if they play out on the c

[quote who="King_Felix" reply="46" id="3150710"]I like Warlock -it's not too complicated, looks good, has faction diferentiation, a certain MoM-feel and it's fun! What I really dislike about the game, though, is the lack of mod support and it was specificaly stated that the game will NOT support modding. I guess they will spam DLCs. [/quote] That's not true. The developers have said that modding tools are possible - there was a
