Reply to Will Stardock continue their tradition of advanced AI? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="maniakos" reply="5" id="2576939"]Cauldyth, I have read his post earlier, however, only time will tell if stardock will succeed. Remember, this is a product, and there are deadlines and expectations set not just by people but by financial gains/ resources spent. This is not www.freeciv.org. Also, the AI in galciv2 wasn't good by any means, but it wasn't bad either in fact it was the best in the industry, but still that wasn't enough for that

Not very helpful... which game for a start (you're posting in a shared forum)? I asume it is Sins, which is most definitely not broken. If 'its been fun' your not going to get a refund.

Reply to [0.295]Bug][Graphic] Map corrupted texture on several tiles in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

With this post (and with your others), it helps the devs enourmously if you post the debug file (created every time you close the game or it crashes - i think it is overwritten each time so you may not have it for this one anymore). Don't copy and paste to the forums as it is too long, put it on pastebin.com and link to it.

I suspect he was simply being told exactly what to say by someone in the tower. Don't really see the problem, you can tell from the pilots' responses that they knew roughly what was going on.

Possibly black powder, but not guns. Just doesn't seem to fit the story for me. I wouldn't want any more than Saruman's from LOTR.

Reply to Are you worried about the sudden popularity drop of PC games? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

IMO the fact that consoles are now as graphically powerful means that console ports are selling less. Which means that games that could be on a console generally are. But there are still some games (like a certain fantasy TBS) that cannot be on console. I can't see these struggling.

Reply to City spamming - its easy to avoid in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Possibly this could be united in a sort of 'regional population'. So if you have lots of cities in a region with not much population, cities would be slow to grow. Possibly prestige could be divided into two categories: Local prestige - encouraging people to come from the surrounding ares Global prestige - people from further afield will come to your city These could be scaled by the prestige count (so you woul
