Reply to T4 Prototypes in Ashes of the Singularity Founders AshesoftheSingularity Forums

While I agree experimental units were fun in the SupCom games, I think Ashes could better spend time on creating interesting behaviors with the meta units (battlegroups? was a name decided?). Two things Ashes has/will have going for it is lots of units and strong AI. I see a lot of potential with these meta units. Think of them as one giant unit that you can switch out different parts. As parts are switched out, it behaves differently. Maybe one step further, crea

Stardock and Oxide, thank you for working hard on a great game idea. I believe Ashes is off to a good start and I look forward to seeing where it goes. First impressions: Performance: I have had 0 crashes! (yet) The game played smooth to me at med to high settings (30 FPS) I have maxed out the graphic settings and it dropped frame rate to 20 to 25 FPS I couldn't see much (at all really) difference b

Reply to Going to become a Founder Friday (Payday) in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I was thinking about it while reading the FAQ and then I saw: Q: What games are most similar to Ashes of the Singularity? A: Ashes takes a lot of inspiration from Sins of a Solar Empire and Total Annihilation. However, the game mechanics for planetary conquest are influenced by Company of Heroes. I was sold right then. As a company, I have always been impressed with Stardock. I have confidence in them that they

Early Early Access Feedback in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

So far, I'm impressed. After only 30min or so of playing, I really cannot comment much on the game designs (good or bad) yet, but I'll mention a few initial bugs and thoughts. 1. Economy Screen (Wheel of Spending screen): A. What exactly does savings mean? Since its in the income section, does this mean interest from savings? Where is the income from my people? Ok, so I moved the thingy on the Wheel of Spending (or whatever its called) into the green are

New #1 looks like it could have come out of the SINS engine, so my guess for one of the games is another SINS expansion or SINS2.

Reply to Map Maker - Rivers? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Thanks, that seems to work. Another problem. After doing a bit of work on my map, I saved it and then reloaded it. It is now a completely randomized map (like if you selected new map, and did not hit the blank map option). The terrain I created was gone. I did a few tests: I created a new blank map called 00 test1 and created a smiley face with the terrain. I saved, got out, reloaded the map: new randomized map. I tried it again without the&

Map Maker - Rivers? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I am trying to create a map using the in-game map maker, but am having trouble creating rivers. When I click, it is random what will happen: a floating waterfall, a river piece on a tile 1 or 2 away from where I clicked, a river piece where I want it to be but it won't be connected to the other existing river piece next to it, or nothing at all. It is rare that it will create a river piece at a location that I want. It will also crash if I try to make it work by clicking a lot.

Reply to Improvement to city shop - sort the items in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I agree that the shop is messy and could due with some way to sort. I also think the character equip and trade UI is just as bad. For example, there is no visual info that says you are limited to 3 accessories. I know its been done in all other RPG's, but the diagram of a person with slots and indicators on what is what (by text or a line pointing to the diagram of the person) really is a good quick way to see what is equipped and how much of each item can

Reply to Make city stats visible when chosing level upgrades in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I agree that the player does not have the information to make an informed decision when choosing city level upgrades. Maybe expand the UI a bit to include your current Grain, Materials, and Essence for starters. Maybe research and unrest too.

I had to build a city for the Blood Curse quest. After that, the quest completed. There is another green area that I can't enter. Its encircled on three sides by mountains and the fourth by a gate that I can't pass. Is the impassible gate a bug or do I need to do something else?

Reply to [crash] Out of Memory (debug.err included) in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Ok, first off. The new 1.05.016 patch is awesome. The game has really come together now and is much much smother. A few very minor details I'll point out later, but for now the only major problem is still the out of memory error. I started a new game with the 1.05.016 version on a med map. Going great until turn 280 and I got the out of memory error. Yes, I updated to the latest ATI vid driver before playing. I'm running 10.7 version of Catalyst. Also

Hello, I am having a problem with the game getting an our of memory error after awhile. I have gotten it twice in the same game, but not at the same time. First was last night at around turn 200.

Reply to The .9999 release - initial impressions. in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I agree that compared to the beta 4, its night and day. I've played for about an hour now (sandbox, not campaign) on a large map. So far I'm really liking the game. There are a few small things I'd thought would have been fixed/looked into, but I'll wait for the 0 day patch before comment on that. One big problem though. I couldn't play much of beta 4 because of the out of memory error (I assume because I'm on win7 x64 with ATI cards). In beta 4 I would only get 30-40 turns before it
