Age of Wonders returns! I've played all of'em and I'll play this one as well. I'll wait some time for a sale (seems half the internet does that these days) and then it's of to multiplayer with the old guard :)
[quote who="Jafo" reply="2109" id="3448473"] Quoting Uncrustable, reply 2106I believe north America just had the coldest/harshest winter in 50some years.... Take that global warming And Australia just broke 150+ of its all-time records for hottest/driest summers....[/quote] That's in line with what Global Warming believers say and what I've read in the media. They say that because of global warming there will be more extreme weather.
I believe that the portion of the market that likes 4x games won't change. I really don't know if AI has gotten any better in 4x outside of Stardock. I believe so but it's not by much.
[quote quoting="post"] Without giving too much away about the new game, which we expect to formally announce this Spring, its planned feature set includes: Radically different races (players won’t design units ala WOM/FE but in exchange each unit is custom crafted and visually stunning) Crafting (the player STARTS with the Forge of the Overlord and getting recipes and loot now mean being able to craft
I hear the US has a really cold winter. Also quite cold here in Sweden (though only snow for 2 days and it's gone now) but it's NOTHING compared to the winters of the 60'ies. I think that will make americans laugh at the mention of global warming. GeomanNL (and everybody else), what do you think about Greenpeace report '<a href="http://www.greenpeace.org/australia/Global/international/publications/climate/2013/PointO
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="56" id="3435657"] I agree with the central idea that improved computer resources, especially the jump to 64 bit and more cores, will benefit computer games in a lot of ways. But I just don't see it benefitting "traditional" RTS's that much. At least not by just adding MOAR UNITS. Sure, you have the technical capability to deal with more units. But is that really more fun? I don't know about you, but I generally can&
Watched TotalBiscuits WTF is about it. Looks decent. Would get it for a euro sometime in the future. I think they charge that much simply because they CAN. Their game is unique and the niche who likes that they've probably assumed are ready to pay the price.

Doesn't every new engine calls itself "revolutionary", "nextgen" and stuff like that..? I can't be impressed cause I don't understand how impressive this is. Like, how are you gonna convince a normal gamer that Sins II in Nitrous is SO much better than Sins ? Rotating around the ship didn't do anything for me either. I just don't see or understand what is so impressive whit this. The voice was good though [e digicons]:)[
[quote who="Replicators" reply="28" id="3433511"] Biggest problem with the steambox imo, is the Linux. It prevents the majority of steam games to be played on the box... Kind of self defeats its own purpose.[/quote] You can be certain they're trying to get as many games as possible to work in linux. Otherwise their SteamOS will not become popular.
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="24" id="3432954"] I did! And I was equally surprised to see Webhallen on the list.[/quote] Haha I thought so! :) Me too. I mean, Webhallen is "just" a retailer that also builds computers. Bet everybody on CES that saw them went: "What is Webhallen?"
I tried Icewind Dale like 5 years ago but had a hard time understanding how it worked. Was pretty new to games that were "Realtime with Pause" back then. Only one I played seriously was Knights of The Old Republic. Need to finish that one day. Really, really good! (And I have never played neither Mass Effect nor Dragon Age. Need to get around to those too!) You don't know if there's coming some Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition? I'd try it.
Must try Worlds of Magic Gonna try Age of Wonders III Wasteland II Seriously don't have any other new game that I look forward too. I don't know of that many.
As a PC enthusiast I would only buy one if I could salvage it for parts at better prices than buying retail. I sincerely hope Valve makes this a success. Then consoles would be further weakened and Gamestop can DIE quicker! Heavenfall, Did you like me think "Mamma Scans köttbullar!" when you saw Scan in the companylist? [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
Our newspapers here in Sweden haven't said a word about Fukushima except when the states propaganda channel (SVT) talks crap about nuclear stuff so I didn't know it was still serious over there. I'm guessing the water they use to cool the nuclear stuff can't be cleaned in an easy way either....guess they have to get a really big watertank to store it at.
Userreviews except on (and even then!) hardwareforums is something I would pay no heed to. Wireless you say, is it responsive? Timmaigh, If you got big hands, the Deathadder is for you. I got one and it's great though I haven't tested any other mouse in several years.
First question that pops up in my head is WHY haven't any big developer done this yet?? Only other 64bit/multicore, Dx 11 engine I know of is Frostbite but I don't know its capabilities. I wonder if it works for strategygames since the new C&C was a failure. You make Nitrous sound like a revolution and I hope it is. At first I thought it was all about having thousands of units onscreen at once (which I'm very skeptical against since I don
[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="156" id="3429292"] But the west is already feeling the effects of peak oil in the form of so called "stagflation". The industrial and living inputs are rising in costs, so people spend less, but the prices do not go down, because everything becomes more difficult and more expensive to manufacture. Just look at the prices of basic commodities like grain, rice (especially rice), steel, etc. The leaders prefer to call it "f
Main thing I think about is that superstacks will be encouraged due to units earning XP. I would have preferred if only heroes could. And that the Wizard gains XP when heroes can't get it.
Talk about a delayed answer [e digicons]:P[/e] I didn't know peak oil was the cause of that. But no one talks about peak oil. Climate Change/Global Warming on the other hand is alot more popular. One would think that if peak oil was that important, then the worldleaders would talk about it and try to do something about it. When will the west feel the effects of peak oil ? Cause that seem the only way to get people to unde
I bought Sword of The Stars: The Pit The Binding of Isaac plus DLC Wrath of The Lamb Heard alot about rougelikes but never actually tried them myselves. Gonna be interesting :)
About that "personal level thing". I can believe in AGW if this winter be as nonsnowy as the last one. I said this before that in 2010, there was a picture in the newspaper of a street in my city in November and they took a new picture the very same day in 2011. The difference was GRAND! Lots of snow in 2010. NO snow in 2011. I don't remember 2012 but there were no snow this year (so far). I DO believe (and know) that the seasons have m

Nothing I would buy. Entirely up to you. Is there any reason NOT to use Nitrious for every single strategygame you're gonna do..?
Great initiative! It will be very interesting to see where this will go.
I've read a whole lot in this topic. This last hour I've read since page 49. Interesting subject. It's exciting to see what will happen. I believe that continentshattering catastrophies will have to happen before humanity act. Like lvl 7 hurricanes or a great ballightning storm in a capital city. Here in southern Sweden they had this picture in the newspaper of a street that in 2010 had lots of snow but the same day in 2011, NO
