Reply to What was Stardock Thinking? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

So many deep complex games you can say are "bland" and "boring" over and over again like you have and to say its shallow and has too many mechanics is contradictory.

Reply to What was Stardock Thinking? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

You should actually learn how to play a real 4X game. Then maybe you'd be able to appreciate this game.

Reply to What was Stardock Thinking? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Starcrap is such a simplistic and stream lined overated RTS for the sake of speed action and quick simple solutions. Jez kid you don't know what you are talking about...just go play your click fest.

Intro music in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I've been meaning to say that your intro music is incredibly good. I often leave the intro screen on my computer just to hear it. Do not remove it under any circumstances! If one of your designers or some one from the forum with a strong enough influence decides it should be taken out for something else, I will track them down and expunge them. I have played many games of differing genres and on different platforms for many years, but this is the best music I've

Reply to No Multiplayer in Fallen Enchantress. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I never liked any kind of mutiplayer video game of any kind whether I was winning or losing. I play video games to have some time alone and to see how amazing the technology of my computer and the program design can be and that includes it's artificial intelligence. No matter what you are still playing with a machine that creates digital images whether with someone else, friend or whatever human player there is always AI physics and digital number crunching

Thanks for letting me know, harpo, and I hope you are right.

Also, I forgot to mention I am using my mainboard's on board sound which is realtek I have tried turning off all sound in the game and this does nothing to stop the same memory problems and crashing.

Reply to OUT OF MEMORY: WE NEED YOUR HELP! in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I am having this out of memory, memory leak. I can usually play for about 30 to 60 minutes before everything on the screen locks up and then I can still move the cursor around and still hear the music playing alright but I can't click on anything or hot key into any menus up interface so I alt delete out several times and when I have finally stopped the game from running I get the little "out of memory" window on my desk top. Yesterday I went to quit the game out of the main men

But yes lets get some ideas here that would render useless the spamming strategy. Maybe something could be worked into the game.

Reply to ship spammers-A Guide to Fighting Back in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Yes, let them spam and ruin our games. They are free to do as they please. But all is cool: How about if I come to visit you and deficate on your rug, sorceresss. No policing right. How else are you going to win but to spam back. Also if you don't know yet that your opponent is going to using this strategy which you won't till its to late you're going to be screwed.

Reply to sins of the solar empire in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I was concidering joining the beta the past few days, but now I think I'll wait to see what they can do to improve the AI and how much more aggressive they can make it. Also, I care more about the single player than the multiplayer. Don't even know if I'll ever want to play a multiplayer game like this. So the AI has to be clever. Thanks Aaron

Reply to sins of the solar empire in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks for the run down Aaron. I was just at the site as I've been visiting it since I was email an offer to try the beta a few months ago. But what I recently read is that the AI is non aggressive and the ships are kind of valueless, that they don't have their own special abilities and unique uses. Is this true? AI is like the most important element in a game to me as well as unite balance, specific role and usefulness.

Reply to sins of the solar empire in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

why would it be taking over? Well it being a 4x space strategy game by stardock. But maybe you're right maybe they are just offering another, an alternative, to consult other taste, for those who want RT and mulitiplayer. I knew it had a different story and engine, but other than that how else is it different does it still have you building ships?

sins of the solar empire in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Will this game, in development, "sins of the solar empire", published by stardock, be taking over the Gallictic civ II series? Yes it is different in some ways but RT is more popular and modern also it has more detail graphics and mulitplayer which a lot of people want. I am not say I want this game to replace GCII, on the contrary but what do you think.

Help needed building ships in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Do, I need to create my own fighter ships in order to effectively win battles. It seems very tedious; maybe someone here could give me some advise. I can't seem to put much on my ships and attaching engines, weapons, pods and shields is very frustrating just trying to get these components to stick to the little red arrows, they don't seem to want to go there-which is why I hesitate making ships even when I have the weapons and engines researched. Any way to make it easier witho

Thanks, everyone, I see a lot of good experienced advise here all of which I will definitely keep in mind and experiment with. And yeah, I just kept all those Galaxy settings on default: habitable worlds is on occasional-jeez why didn't I notice this! But isn't it all relative? The Galaxy being set this way all other colonies are likewise going to find habitable planets scarce as well. Glad to read that its not all that unusual to be listed as one of the bottom three in th

Oh, and did I forget to mention: I always start by building at least 3 factories (usually 4) for production on my starting planets. So no need to tell me this, I've read it enough times.

Thank you for the advice Pitsnipe. I will give your more information about my settings but for now its just normal difficulty and 6 opponent colonies with me as Terran. I know about choosing to research weapons the enemy doesn't have and making sure I have defense shields with points high enough to protect me from the hit points of their weapons. But I'm also concerned with researching as quickly as possible the most powerful weapons I can and planetary invasion. Yeah,

Hello all this is my first post; though I've been coming here for about 6 months now just to read some of the post to get an idea what this game is all about and read about what strategies are being used. I play this game every now and then and usually even just on normal and always abandon each game after a night or two..or sometimes three. It's just that I see how far behind I am and don't want to do much more work micro managing and expanding only to find I'm too far behind and it i
