Reply to Stardrive - Sci-Fi 4X - For Those of You Waiting for Gal Civ 3! in Kickstarter Games Elemental Forums

Watched your let's play and it looks boring. It's realtime which would make me nervous of missing to do something. My main complaint is that (just like in Gal Civ II) nothing happens! Ships go back and forth between planets and you sign agreements but it seems like the game plays itself! Clicking a planet and choosing colonize and it handles itself. You don't even have to select what to build! I'm wary of that. The coolest part was the meet

Reply to Worlds of Magic - New game, selfdeclared successor of MoM in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

The last few years there has gone inflation in "reimagining of Master of Magic", "our TBS will be like Master of Magic" and such announcements but no one have succeded. I don't think highly of'em considering their trackrecord and they also seem too conservative (making things a certain way "because the original did it!" makes me fear for the worst) but I'll keep an eye on'em.

Reply to How good is strategy game AI? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I've only played some missions in the GalCiv II campaign so I can't evaluate its AI but of the TBS games I've played so far: Age of Wonder trilogy Heroes of Might & Magic II, III, IV and V Disciples II The winner I think is Heroes of Might & Magic III. Basically since all the others are worse. Heroes V fails since (I've read) it bullrushes you on week 3. Heroes II is too simple. Heroes IV i

Reply to Sword of the Stars 2: Enchanced in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

The game on paper sounds like my ideal space TBS. These point particularly: Turnbased strategy with Realtime combat sounds great A blind spot in your point-defense coverage, and you could take a volley of torpedoes that would seriously damage your engines. Powerful close-combat weapons are great when you can get close to the enemy, but will not save you against a fleeing hit-and-run force. Fixed-mounts heavy combat lasers are great if you can aim,

Reply to The Past, Present and Future of Elemental in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Voted for Master of Magic II but that was before I saw that Age of Wonders III were announced. But I would demand gameplaychanges from the original like fog of war, Age of Wonders II style retaliation rules and if you kill 4XP worth of enemies then that is what you get and it gets spread to all the units participating. I'm possibly the only one here that have never tried either War of Magic nor Fallen Enchantress ^^ No demo, plus I've read so muc

Reply to Age of Empire 2 Mod Forgotten Empires in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I must have been the only one who never liked Age of Empires II. It was slow, boring, soulless and an oldschool RTS where you have to manage lots of workers.... This mod doesn't seem to change my main complaints.

Should I try Sword of the Stars or Sword of the Stars II ? I'm a competetive RTS gamer who also like the Age of Wonders series (if a short way to describe me is needed). I've never played Total War (Yeah I know, HOW could I have missed that series). I need some way to give input in combats. Is that possible?

Reply to Sword of the stars 2 - are you playing it? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Since I like TBS like Age of Wonders and HoMM I thought I'd like SoTS II but after watching a clip of it in a Steam thread it seems to be about clicking around in menus most of the time like Galactic Civilizations II. In any case, GalCiv II was too much menues, too little action. I want to like the game but I'm not gonna fool myself again like I did with GalCiv II So Hawawaa, what's the best clip or let's play there is SoTS or SoTS II ?

Reply to Curious what you think of D3 in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Diablo III is one of the games I bought at full price and I kinda like it. I'm not gonna play it until some later patch since I much prefer finished games (don't mean that it is unfinished but f.e Torchlight won't get any more patches so I'll play that first). Heavenfall is also spot on with "no character customization. Not being able to put points into your character prevents people from scewing their builds up (like I did with my Barbarian in Diablo II
