Lol i dont know what you think is wrong with the cutscene in AC, it certainly had the best ones i have ever seen in a game. Not that the artwork was that great, but i simply loved the humorous to philosophical comments in them and everything fitted so well together.

RAM enables you to have fast access to larger amounts of data so it is more about being able to play on bigger maps/games without fps drop or running multiple programs at the same time (if your cpu allows it).

Reply to Why Ironclad is so successful so quickly in Sins Developer Journals Sins Forums

[quote who="numerarius5988am" reply="31" id="2567947"]I've wanted to make a game, but I get bored too easily when trying to learn programming. However, this is my idea of a game which I've had since the late 90's when I played Red Alert and OO7 GoldenEye: Combine the RTS and FPS genres. Have it where each individual soldier is played by an individual person FPS style but the commands are given by various ranks of commanding officers who view the board in RTS style. If Ironclad or any other ca

Wouldnt that apply to female sovereigns too? So picking a female one would give you a disadvantage which cannot be justified other than for realsim in a fantasy game....alas not at all.

Reply to [0.291][1G][Feedback] Magic Research and Mechanics in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Since the shard system already reminds me of mana in FFH2, we can as well make the player recieve a small number of free shards at the beginning of the game, so he can cast at least some basic spells wihtouth having to search for specific shards. So you could choose, for example, one shard type for your sovereign and he/she get the corresponding spellbook for free, just like you choose the background. But you can still spend points on additional spellbooks.

Reply to New Security Software Ratings in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

You really need to read the text below the table. a lot of firewalls did not pass the tests cause they were supposed to be use in conjunction with antivirus software, which means they did not include some critical funtions of those, which were necessary. But you should do anyway. And they only tested rather specific problems. This is why every report gives different results. None really covers all kinds of problems.

Yes and the "hardy" trait didnt give me any bonus hitpoints i think. neither did constituiton. i still got the basic 40. Also i got spells from the test spellbook and fire spellbook but i only selected fire and ice. (this may be intentional because there are so few spells so we can test them)

Reply to SupCom 2 Demo out now! in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I did not say it was a bad game at the core. But the campaign/story does seem to suck and having to dumb down the game to make it work on older systems is not a good excuse. They could have optimised the engine instead. Just look at Sins of a Solar Empire(ironclad/stardock) or AI War: Fleet Command(indie), which have unit counts of at least a similar scale if not even more than Supcom1. Yet have even lower requiered system specs than supcom2 while being relative low budget titles. Bot
