Yes, because random map generation is minor for a 4X game, and open flaming is the best response to those who are rightfully upset about it. Way to go! :salute: At the very least, try to at least be creative, your "internet tough guy" routine fails miserably. [e digicons]:zzz:[/e] Not to worried about this myself, as either SD or the community will take care of this in the end, and my game library is already too large. Still rather sad that it seems l

Hi all, I've been troubleshooting the most frustrating issue these past couple of weeks after a brand new Windows 7 (Pro) x64 install. I had tried running a couple of games that utilized Creative Alchemy as a workaround for the whole dsound/OpenAL issue with Vista and 7. My previous install of 7 had ALchemy working perfectly, however, with the recent install, every single game that had Alchemy enabled would crash on startup with a Stackhash error (which generally doesn't h

Organic City Growth is the Future!!!

[quote who="kevket07" reply="8" id="2500460"]No, seriously, the point is, if the functionality of the game is less than advertised, I want my f#ckin money back. That's the bottom line. If you can't make a game that actaully does what you say it does, then you dont' belong in programin, and you've not only lied to me, you've stolen from me. So, bottome line, I want a f&ckin refund, and you can keep your inferior excuse for a fully functional game. Got it? You want to be all sha

[quote who="TB_MasteR" reply="45" id="2464168"] Quoting zzSleeper, reply 5Agree with the OP, spit and run is currently the most effective (ie: best) UB strat. I agree that a spit centered playstyle is the only viable ones for UB right now, but there's no way to find that out unless we experiment. Experimentation is necessary, but without some changes dev-side I don't think any comparably effective early-game builds are likely to be discovered. <br /

Beyond the fact that the 15% speed can help you *and* your teammates survive (you are playing the TB = support, right?) better than a paltry 300 or so HP + mana, it's pure gold in that the 15% speed boost helps you position yourself that much better, even with tp scrolls on hand. As for BotS, it's absolutely amazing for holding a lane with CoF, as you have essentially unlimited mana. However, I generally feel safer with the extra HP from BotF or the movement speed

There's no point in holding a game where one team holds >50% wins, while the other team is full of Pubstomping is pointless at best, and will turn off new players to the game. And in case anyone hasn't been looking around, DG isn't exactly in the position to turn away new players (re: RoC DOTA

Orcun, part of the reason for lowered traffic could be due to the slew of new games recently released (DA:O, COD6 [don't buy it please], Torchlight, etc.). OT: I love playing against good players--even moreso now with replays. I do NOT like, however: 1.) Pre-mades posing as pug teams--if you're a premade, just come out and say it 2.) Stackage of teams (at least give the pug team a chance :))

[quote who="Toonook" reply="9" id="2266718"] Look at the fallout 3 DLC, major bugs all over the place and what was said to the public? Nothing. For almost a week there was just stony silence. Compare that to Frogboy constantly getting on the forums himself, replying to posts, helping people with problems, keeping us updated. That is the mark of a dedicated company in a time when most companies would just start banning people from their forums and stonewalling the community.[/

As long as DG can consistently tell the difference between d/c's because of callstack CTD's and purposeful d/c's, I'll be very happy with this first round implementation. As to the above, I'm pretty sure that you'd figure it out within the first 3 minutes or so whether you're playing with daddy's little princess. Plus, you know there's always that pre-game lobby thing.
