Install Pendor, which you should anyway, and a mod does just that. F1-F6 menus to tell people to go somewhere with a mobile reticule kind of thing. Also the usual formations are available and you can group your units to give orders to specific groups (like tight turtle infantry and spread out...

Apologies if anyone was hoping for new information about either POP4 or Bannerlord - I do not have that. I looked around a little and POP4 is still in the same state it was months ago. Bannerlord has 1 video of some pre-alpha footage that I would not even link here (but I did) - it shows nothing...

I'm not sure how I ever missed that game. Was it a hit when it came out? I've always been a big fan of the genre. Although in 94 my cash flow was somewhat limited. I actually wondered many times how Civ games could improve the combat for unit stacks. If I read that description right this turns...

You disabled mods mid-game. In my limited experience that should be nuff-said. SkyRE in particular changes tons of shit in perks and stuff. is a quote from the description. If you play a game with SkyRE and turn SkyRE off - the vanilla system does not know how to handle the perk points you had...

In the hardest mode of any game I don't think having any player-triggered invulnerability or AOE-disable-everything is ever a good idea. Too much exploitablity. Most people buying/playing the game for the first time probably don't go this far into min-maxing though. Yet I still felt the...

Is "Lite" going to be the name of the orc looking dude with a cigar or is that just the backers' web-IDs?

Wasn't EA actually doing some damage control that was reducing sales at some point? I can't remember exactly but I thought they issued a statement/order/something asking retailers to stop selling the game... or something like that that would actually hurt sales until they felt the game was ready...

Nice. Anyone knows if there is any magic spell mod similar to this in one of the FTB packs? Or any chance of it being compatible?

That needs people who know what they're doing to step up with a plan though. Not much of that going around. Not sure what Nemesis used -http://www.multiplaygameservers.com/.../mc-minecraft/is roughly $10 + 50c per player slot per month. $20 for 30 players. But the price jumps if you start...

@Tracy Hickman Video So they got Tracy Hickman on the team at some point. I cannot comment on Hickman's capability to write. In general or for a game. I liked his books just fine when I read them - whenever that was. What I don't like is the impression I got from the...

I pulled the trigger and I think it was worth it. It all plays a lot like Orcs Must Die (which is what TB says in that video I think). A trap+fps defense game genre. I've played about 1/3 of it, part of it the tutorial (which plays like the rest of the game really) and I'm happy with the...

Had no idea the server was still up. But 1 month or so for Vanilla is usually when people burn out. And 3 days or so for Tekkit :P

Just finished the game so I have not read all the spoilered posts yet. Here's my shit:

A part of a video somewhere said "do you want to be a part of the most funded Kickstarter ever?". Is that really the case or did I dream it?

http://store.steampowered.com/app/227220/ Looks like a "build defenses at day to defend against waves of monsters at night" kind of game. Not sure what the real genre is. And gotta say I like the music in that video - hope the in-game tracks are good too. This is what I gathered from...

Paypal donations count toward the stretch goals.

300k to 4.5M (stronghold goal) though. That's what the frenetic posting is all about.

Thief was high fantasy? I remember somewhat surreal arrows that would extinguish torches and stuff like that. Or maybe I am not clear on the definition of high fantasy. Magic swords, dragons, Gandalf right? Or is it just the "world that's not our own" definition?

@Elizabeth I've been thinking that Elizabeth's facial expressions/animations were pretty well done. I'm not sure why and they don't even always look very realistic. But that fits with her kinda grotesque (grotesquely hawt) body anyway. Then I was thinking I should probably stop staring and...

Another $100k in 4 hours. People really want their stronghold.

Druid + bind + gate + TP + bot = $$$$ Hell even just a G15, no need for a bot app. Iirc druids TP rings had druid-faction vendors right there sometimes, didn't they?

I have not played since the first month of release but I played a zerker - and I think I remember having a shit of a time pulling more than a few packs. 20 mobs not counting minions sounds like a gross exaggeration of how much you can pull without leashing. I managed sometimes to pull more than...

That's almost exactly 100k on KS over 5 hours. Does the paypal stuff count on top of what they show on the KS page? Nvm - "PayPal Totals are over $89K as of 04/04. PayPal totals are tallied on a weekly basis and factored in for the stretch goals." Maybe 4.25M is not out the question then.

I don't get that either. That comes down to your choices. You can choose to try and mimic the real modern world where the super powers are mostly at peace. But even that century (or so) has seen serious wars - which is right smack in the middle of the Civ games modern period.

LFM BGH NoRush15 I think AOE2 is the only AOE I ever played a lot of. I tried the later ones and never liked any of it. There was a game in the same genre but with magic/gods that I thought was the best of the genre. Cant remember the name. Age of Mythology maybe?

I've been checking the thread once a day or so, skimming it as fast as I could just to get people's impressions without getting spoilers. I'm too old to follow releases' schedules anymore. I actually appreciated the spoilers over the last page or so a lot. Allowed me to dismiss most of it until...

I played Terraria for about 20 hours total. I played it mostly like minecraft, digging down, gathering mats to build a house and getting soem crafting done. And starting over a lot. I never saw a boss or anything. Is there really content I cannot see/beat if I play alone or with my kid? Are...

I played 4 games in the big boy's bracket tonight. And none of it was any fun at all. As a guy with very average, or less, skills in this type of game I was having a fuckton of fun playing the noob bracket. I got kills, I capped points, I healed or buffed teammates. I died more than I killed...

If anyone is playing atm - Azziane on Steam. Not sure if there is any way to join with friends though. Game is brutally fun - definitely getting the early TF2 days vibe. The OTS cam is not my favorite and tough to get used to but it's not that terrible. You sometimes get terrain that fucks up...

I loved nights when you could still somewhat see. Pushing the gamma to the max made it basically daylight though. I wish they'd nerfed it to something in between. And with faster day/night cycles to experience both within one play sessions. Although I think the dev once said they could not...

Did they ever brighten the nigths in DayZ? When they fixed the gamma "Exploit" I always felt they went a little too far. That mod is spot on as far as lighting is concerned.

How buggy is the release?

They look amazing but are expensive as hell. Also the KS link doesn't seem to work? ** http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...nary-miniaturemust be it. Already half way to $500k - surprised it has that much backing. Their tiles do look really cool though.

These are the top 3 issues with the game by a long shot. There needs to be job priority settings on a global scale (make woodcutting #1 for every one with tat task on, for example) and then priority settings for each task within each gnome that overrides the global settings. That would allow you...

Either their description is wrong or it is just that. The description is quite clear. If it makes pistols "more accurate" they must be "less than perfectly accurate" in the first place. Or maybe it's just a reduce spread kind of thing? Not sure if acceptable in any case.

The Vertex 1 was petty good but 2 had a really huge failure rate. Enough that OCZ were deleting/banning threads & people from their board for posting about it for a while. I was quite butthurt. Less so now but still felt the compulsive need to try and sway you away from their product. I have no...

I don't get why they went for this style of UI/resolution. Is it worth it just to give players the full retro experience? I hope they at least don't butcher controls and allow remapping and enough hotkeys. He moves with the mouse in that video, which made me cringe. **Although the video does...

Someone remind me - do you start at level 1 in BG2? I know you can import your BG1 characters but cannot remember how it handles new parties.

But, his arm.. where.. where did his... his arm???? ?
