Reply to Civilization V Expansion Pack Announced! in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Oh look they are adding some of the stuff that should have been in vanilla. Good of them to milk the fans of the series who were loyal enough to buy that POS by adding things like "reworked diplomacy" and combat... which is still broken in vanilla.

[quote who="Alstein" reply="13" id="3083007"]They're using Steam as Impulse. You authenticate and patch through Steam, but you don't need Steam running to play. [/quote] Doesn't matter it requires me to agree to steams contract in order to play the game. Don't expect your customers to agree to 2 or 3 different TOS contracts in order to play your game. I shouldn't need to hire a lawyer in order to purchase a game.

Paradox sold out to STEAM.. they started gamers gate.. and a few years later they are requiring their games to run through steam. They can Kiss my @##. I have no love for paradox at this point given the fact that they sold out.

I'll believe it when I see it. I keep telling them to look to FF: tactics for a guide to how tactical combat should be done.. but I meet nothing but silence.

Agreed, one cannot make useful decisions on units if they don't know how combat is handled.. this has been an issue for me going back to E:Wom (feel special I tend to avoid these types of threads in general)

Reply to How can I learn the basics of a turn based game like FE? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Personally, I would suggest an older Civ for learning. Civ III can be found really cheap with all the expansions. Gamers gate has it for like 5$ I'm sure the price is similar if you have a preferred digital distribution service. You can probably find a physical version for the same price or cheaper (not including shipping) if your adverse to DD and don't mind waiting for shipping. Civ 3 i

Glee is a "beautiful message about reality, about what really happens nowaday with kids" in Movies & TV & Books Elemental Forums

Ricky martin said and I quote glee is "a beautiful message about reality, about what really happens nowadays with kids." Now normally this is the type of story I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole but um.. what? really?? Glee has some semblance to reality about the modern experience of youth? Did high school change that much since I graduated? (granted over 10 years ago) I know its ricky martin.. so I don't expect much but omfg is this guy that much out of touch

[quote]Imbuement has been removed from the game. I loved the flavor of it, but players didnt realize they could be casting spells with their champions. And it makes the champions less unique if the thing that distinguishes them most (their access to spells) is missed. It was a bit of complexity that could be dropped without losing any good gameplay. Most notably since all the champions can cast from the start when you find enemy champions in the wilds they start lobbing spells at you. For tho
