I was expecting this. Frankly, your lucky. I can't even get the game to run. But, I submitted my bug report and am waiting for the issues to be fixed.

[Crash] Crashes when starts up a new game in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I can get as far as seeing my little dude on the cloth map before it crashes. This was with all the graphic settings off, BTW. Here is my system information: http://pastebin.com/m5f7d0e5e Here is the bug report produced by the last time I tried to start the game: http://pastebin.com/m1a7de30

Another issue I feel with camp #3 is with materials which are particularly valuable or rare, or ones which there isn't a guaranteed supply of. What happens with these? If I want to use a Ruby which is only found as loot in dungeons, I don't really want to waste it on the first town which might happen to have some demand for it.

I am Camp #1. I feel like Camp #2 has been done to death by virtually every other game. Camp #3 is alright, but I honestly think that Camp #1 has something very interesting. Camp #1 also fits better into the flavor: one in which a world is reconstructing itself from magical apocalypse, where resources are valuable and limited. There might be a little more complexity in Camp #1, but honestly as long as the governors streamline it for players that don't care, I don't think many will cau

Reply to Petition for some info on magic system plans in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Lesse. An unreplacable magic called "essence". There'll probably be something like mana that comes from crystals. The magic spells of the late game are world-shattering and unbalanced. Spellbooks are unique to civilizations. Yeah, I'd like a little additional info.

Reply to 1 turn = 1 day in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

You know, this has always kinda bothered me. It's kinda like how I was always bothered by how traditionally disparate and infighting cultures like the Greeks and the Chinese are depicted as unified in Civilization. I kinda got over this by imagining that I'm controlling the aggregate culture... that there was in-fighting, but it simply wasn't depicted. More like, I was the Greeks fighting the Persians or some such. One solution with admittedly quite a few problems is to use variable t

Reply to Campaings, experience, and relative balance in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Age of Mythology had a pretty interesting way of doing things. Heroes were really good at fighting monsters, but merely average against other humans. This kind of makes sense from a mythic standpoint because many heroes found their end in some pretty domestic situations (read: Jason). I'm in favor of Heroes being in a support role rather than a Rambo-esque fighting armies role... or at least make them have weaknesses.

[quote quoting="post"] The example we have going is a knight that we've equipped with armor, a sword, a helmet, along with a horse with its own armor. When they move, each item moves as if it were real. That is, the armor on the horse when the horse is running moves like you would expect. The knight riding the horse moves on the horse as you'd expect and even the sword dangling from the side moves as you would expect. Normally, to get such an effect, you

[quote who="erathoniel" reply="7" id="1897434"] I'm conservative, I don't care for party lines. It's just that as a rule, Republicans are more conservative. He could be a registered Democrat, and it wouldn't affect my judgement, if he were conservative and didn't donate to that Obama kid. (Yes, I know EA's CEO donated to Obama, it's not that I boycott on politics, it's that I buy on politics) [/quote] You can use whatever system you want on determining how you'll waste

Reply to Will Wright donates to McCain in Game Developers Stardock Forums

Buying a game because of the developer's politics is aligned with you is not a good way to go about things. If Brad Wardell was a democrat, would you not buy his games? I think he's a Republican, but I'm not sure. Clearly, people of differing political opinions should not interact in any way. In order to support my neo-tribalistic paradigms and whitewash society and to isolate myself from regular human society, I'll not purchase any products from those whom I

Reply to Nintendo & Hardcore Game(r)s in Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

What hardcore gamer are they talking about? The kind which own X-Box 360 and PS3, who play far too much Halo and that wouldn't touch a Wii with a 10 foot pole? Nintendo hasn't abandoned anybody who wasn't a nintendo fan anyway. Maybe it's because the FPS's on the Wii aren't... uh... hyped enough. As far as I'm concerned, the way the Wiimote is designed has made the FPS more fun than it could ever be with a regular game pad. Still can't beat a mouse and keyboard.
