While I love a great restaurant, with a solid menu, sometimes you just want a buffet. Please don't encourage them to take away our buffet.

Reply to [Suggestion]If Monsters won't attack AI stacks, can we at least get a Pass With No Trace spell? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Yes, quite annoying, I'm dodging drakes like crazy trying to make it to the enemy cities, while they just waltz right past them with impunity.

Reply to [UI Suggestion] Show Movement Path, before moving the unit in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Yeah I was excited about the path showing until I realized it only shows up after you move. It is a small improvement which is nice, but really needs to show up before I have to actually move. Also as I think as is being suggested above, if I could shift-click along my route to set way points that would be the ideal movement scheme (I've never actually tried this but I assume that is not currently an option).

Reply to I murdered our retail plans today in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="16" id="3088058"]On a $40 game we net about $15 these days at retail. There's MDF, which is effectively a slotting fee, as well as the manufacturing, the distributor's cut, the retailer's cut and that's before taking into account the costs of having a retail sales force to go out and negotiate with each retailer, attend their shows, etc. That's just how retail is. They still sell more units than digital (a

Reply to I murdered our retail plans today in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Any way you can share in round numbers what the cost delta is for doing retail vs. digital? Do the best buys etc.. of the world charge slotting fee's for boxed games? Always wondered about that.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="12" id="3085375"] Quoting Heavenfall, reply 7If your champion gets 3 moves for every 1 the monster gets, why shouldn't you be able to outdistance him? Another solution, then: Archer units may not shoot more than 6 times in any tactical combat. Because ultimately what it would mean is that get enough initiative = win.

Reply to Brilliant sci-fi shows i missed somehow in Movies & TV & Books Elemental Forums

Space Above and Beyond was a good one. Did anyone watch the two seasons of War of the Worlds (1988)? I really liked the first season, then they totally changed it for season two, for the worse. I remember it scaring the crap out of me as a kid though.

Reply to [Suggestion] Archer units and range in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I'm for the range penalties. However I think it should be a lot easier to get bows and we need some magic ones (I think they are adding this).

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="3033282"] .... Time is time. Money is money. Everyone has time. Not everyone has money. [/quote] Too true. Though I would say money's only real use is to buy more time. Time is the only finite resource we have, and the great equalizer in this world.

Reply to So how big do you want Stardock to get? in Business Elemental Forums

Brad, I hate accountants more than the next guy, but at "10's of millions" of revenue you need a full time CFO and probably a controller as well for oversight. You know, there's nothing to stop you from hiring a CEO and becoming the CTO "head geek in charge", that way you get to do what you love while some other poor sucker gets stuck with the business crap. That's what lot's of founders in the IT field that I know have done.
