Do you have anti aliasing off?

This should be repeated often: People loved MOM except when they didn't.
You can't actually lose at MOM. A lot of people seem to forget that. It's easy to have lots of neat game mechanics if the AI isn't required to use it. It is literally impossible to be conquered in MOM. Anyone really think MOM would get that free ride today?
Me thinks some people are too full of themselves. In the poll, https://www.elementalgame.com/journals , nearly everyone has rated the beta good to great. Yet, reading this..thread..you would think the game was in dire straits. What are the developers supposed to think? I would rate the current beta as good. There's a lot to do especially in balance and AI. A lot of the criticisms posted here would apply equally

I'd like to see multiplayer. But I also know from bitter experience that few use it.
OK, I'll bite. You say AI can't use it. Can't use what? What do you mean by unit diversity? There are units that move slow. There are units that move fast. There are units that do cutting damage there are units that have magical equipment there are units that are ranged there are units. What do you mean? What is meaningful terrain? I don't mean to suggest FE is right now the perfect game but I'm not sure I understand you.
I agree. I don't even like most quests because the rewards are just not worthwhile. I don't look forward to them. Getting some really cool unit would be great. I'd love to get a Darkling champion or an Umberdroth steed.
I am enjoying the game a lot.
I agree. The city distance change is making starting locations really a problem.
[quote who="Mortenart" reply="12" id="3067715"] Quoting CariElf, reply 11 Let's let newcomers come here and ask questions without bombarding them with personal dislikes okay? It's just my personal opinion, which as a paying customer for a product that was not as 'advertised', I am quite within my rights to do. FE has not been hyped, which is good - but I was expecting a little more for a game that is 76% complete. For somethin
This is what the team did in 1 week. I can't wait to see what they do in a month.
Can we let the people who are interested in talking multiplayer go to the proper thread? https://forums.elementalgame.com/415252 One thread of endless moaning is enough.
[quote who="wbino" reply="112" id="3053597"] Frogboy you seem like a great guy...but you should not even be doing the AI. You'll have the same problem as Elemental..who going to tell the boss the AI needs improvement?[/quote] That would be tantamount to telling John Carmack not to work on the next Id 3D engine because he's the boss. How many expert AI developers are there in the game industry? Based on the games I play, not many.
Thanks. Good read.
[quote who="athelasloraiel" reply="40" id="3053016"]s,[/quote] The graphics look like a mod to Civ V.
I agree with Mari. But it doesn't answer what FE is. How about simply the next strategy game in the Elemental series?
[quote who="jbrowne21" reply="18" id="3050673"] Maybe make the 'max number of units displayed per tile' an option, to suit folks personal preferences? [/quote] This.
I've read the Walking Dead comic and it's obviously a lot different than the show. Who's watching this and who has read the comic?
Isn't Sins of a Solar Empire the logical evolution of Homeworld? Could someone correct me on why that isn't the case?
I'm really having a blast playing this.
