Reply to Notable location level question in War of Magic Elemental Forums

You need to do further adventuring research, some techs only raise Quest level, were as others raise Notable level. The last patch fixed it so it's possible to gain lvl 5, but it's still bugged, I've been stuck at quest lvl 4, and seen world lvl 6 for notable.

Reply to Caravans? What do they do? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote]Hallo If i ´create a caravan and send it from one of my cities to another one of my cities i get a road between them. Do this do anything?

Wasnt sure if you needed to. Can anyone explain how the whole trading aspect works? with pacts and caravans? Thank you.[/quo

Reply to Tabula Rasa - Should SD consider taking it over? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

TR is fundamentally flawed at the base design, so it's hardly worth sinking anymore money in to. It's also closing down because it isn't profitable with the small playerbase that remains. It would be a loss for anyone to pick it up. That's money better spent on designing something that actually works right out the door, rather then picking up yet another MMO abortion.

Reply to Why Starcraft II will not live up to the greatest RTS of the past decade. in Everything Else Sins Forums

The next gen RTS will be Dawn of War 2. It's about the only upcoming RTS that appears to shift the genre in a different direction. However true future will be some form of no base building on combat maps, focus on smaller amounts of units with better independent AI, persistent campaigns where your army and your success has an impact on future battles and territory you fight over, that's where the future is. The whole resource gathering is a legacy component from the days of the

Reply to Frames Per Second issue in Technical Sins Forums

It sounds like a driver issue, with the suspend function possibly? I'd check Dell.com for drivers for your Latitude D820, and see if there's anything that can be updated. Could very well be an issue with the Bios too, it's hard to say as the change log for the most recent bios doesn't list anything and Google comes up empty. Make sure that you have all the security fixes and updates from Windows Update. And lastly check that you got the latest DX files, from www.micros

Reply to Big announcement coming Monday... in Sins News Sins Forums

Twilight of the Arnor, Political Machine, Impulse, the 4x MoMish spiritual successor, and Society were all mentioned in the pod cast, and those are already known products. So it's not likely that the announcement is going to have anything to do with either of those. The most likely scenario, given the info that came out of the ramblings that were the GFW podcast, seems to be the publication of some other developer house's game. From the sounds of the podcast, it didn't sound like an

Reply to Invalid Save Files after 1.03 update in Technical Sins Forums

[quote]It's been mentioned for previous patches that in general you should not expect saved games to work with different game versions.I don't think it needs to be repeated before every patch[/quote] Don't worry, it'll have to be repeated by 1.04 too :P In general though, it's pretty common these days for games to not be save game compatible across different versions. It's unfortunate, but such is life.

Reply to PLEASE stop putting game files (mods, saves, etc.) in windows profile in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

While it may be frustrating to have files stored away in folders under my documents/my games/my whatever it's a prerequisite from Microsoft through the Games for Windows initiative. If you want the Games for Windows stamp you have to conform with Microsoft's guidelines. It'll likely never be anything that changes, unless Microsoft eases up the restrictions on where you, as a developer, can place the various files.
