[quote who="thebigJ_A" reply="134" id="3067470"]So... how is the hotfix applied? I guess I can just uninstall used-to-be-impulse, then, yes? If they're completely separate, patches and such will all be from Stardock.com.[/quote] The patch was a separate download from the same place. That is correct that if you do not need impulse for any other games, you can uninstall it.
Great idea! Maybe make this coincide with difficulty setting. Easiest game has no guards.... progressively more likely and tougher guards as game difficulty setting rises.
[quote who="thebigJ_A" reply="132" id="3067422"]Hang on, I'm a bit confused. The patch is in the "Stardock Store"? You mean used-to-be Impulse? Fallen Enchantress isn't even in my Impulse library. It's in its own folder it made when I downloaded the beta. All that's there is my old WoM install. So even if I download the patch separately, how would I automatically get the hotfix?

[quote who="Cruxador" reply="58" id="3067261"]If snaking goes away we need another way to wall off choke points.[/quote] This is the only real part of snaking I like. It would be good to see some other mechanic replace this somehow. Most other games let you shut off your area to others, so you can use your ZOC to block choke points. Anyone have any ideas on a mechanic to replace that?

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="37" id="3066863"] One of the hot topics on our list is to put more effort into making sure players can have very distinct cities (i.e. THIS is my production city, THIS is my research city, THIS is my money city, THIS is my military city) and so on.[/quote] Glad to hear you say this, both this post and the previous one about building placement. I couldn't agree more!
[quote who="tjashen" reply="28" id="3066754"]I just checked for the beta email, and checked the Impulse/Gamestop site for an update, no joy. I purchased Elemental in August of 2010 from Best Buy. What do I need to do to get on the beta list? Note that I released a couple of mods for Elemental in 2010! I ended up taking a long break after that, though... [/quote] Do not check Impulse/Gamestop. The beta will never be ther

Never thought to try that, duh! Thanks much for the heads up on that!! edit: and I guess good to see that it bugs using that method also. At least that means it wasn't some weird mouse input bug, I'd imagine that should make it easier to track down knowing that.
[quote who="Wintersong" reply="99" id="3064459"] Quoting Vhorthex, reply 79Because they disagree dosen't make it 'right'. Brad himself seemed to be part of the group that would like to have coop MP included in the game. The "right " thing to do is to stick to their design plan for FE, which doesn't include to have MP. This is not Homer Simpson designing his dream car.[/quote] LOL, what an apt analogy!
Great idea. I think I'd prefer to keep it fairly simple. Click the build outpost button, and you are presented with a choice of outpost type. Select from list, and no upgrades from there. Keep it as un-city like as possible. Just my opinion of course, I could probably be persuaded differently though! :)
[quote who="DsRaider" reply="15" id="3064131"]How can you tell when you bought it, I'm pretty sure I bought it on release but would like to double check.[/quote] Go to stardock.com and log in to your account. You should then be able to check order history.
Derek, I've got this bug in FfH2 I need you to... I KID, I KID! Seriously though, have any of you others had your unit(s) go the exact opposite direction from where you clicked on the screen? It doesn't happen often, but every now and then it just takes off the wrong way, don't believe it is anything like trying a different way around mountains or something like that either. I'd really love if NUMPAD movements were allowed, or even highlighting the squar

Rebooting seems to have fixed this for now. Will re-post if it happens again.
This just happened on first run this morning. Had been running fine up til now. Can't select anything from menu. Repeats every time I start game, going to restart computer next and see if that helps. Running .75 regular (don't have Brad's slipstream installed yet)
You know, maybe a compromise would be good to try. Although I lean towards the one square city myself, I could see maybe gaining a square for every level of city. You would place that one square where you wanted it. Still smaller than nine, but bigger than one, so you can influence towards resources. Don't actually place buildings inside literally, go Civ style with that. Also, I guess we would need some type of building rule, so there isn't really just a snake city. i.e. A st
[quote quoting="post"] This is contrary to Stardock's normal practice of allowing installation on multiple computers.

[quote who="Vhorthex" reply="124" id="3060317"]PS: Oh and sorry for the Captain Obvious comment, I forgot how some people are not so bright and would have done as you thought I had. Sorry! [/quote] No worries, I knew you were a bit on the grouchy side with the whole no MP thing. So it's all good man. I do hope MP does make it in some further expansion, there is definitely nothing wrong with having the option!
[quote who="Vhorthex" reply="122" id="3060103"] Quoting Leo in WI, reply 121 Part of the problem may be that last quoted area was from E:WoM and not E:FE Captain Obvious to the rescue! Are you under the impression that FE is an entirely brand new game with no left over code? I mean have you tried the beta? And we all know the MP code is still partially there, since as Brad said, they have it 'internally' but turned it off because o
[quote who="Vhorthex" reply="120" id="3060045"] quoting post There will be NO multiplayer While internally we have multiplayer, we’ve turned it off. The release game won’t have it either. The reason is that tactical battles would have to be rewritten to support it (MP code needs to be message based but the tactical battles all call directly to internal variables which makes it easier to have greater performance but it means no MP). We decided it
[quote who="Kestral2040" reply="16" id="3059725"] Quoting Heavenfall, reply 12If a tile says 4 grain 5 materials, you'll get 4 grain 5 materials in your city. And those are TECHNICALLY gathered from that tile and the 8 around it. yes, this is how it works... I would think of it as two different things, each tile has an individual yield that if based on the terrain (or resource) in that tile. In addition the tile has an aggregate yield that is the sum of the individua

Last Monday Brad came by and we talked about this for a bit (making an 8-bit intro for old time sake), but we decided it'd be better to take a more serious tone this time around...at least at first. Once FE has proven itself then we can lower our guard in that respect [/quote] Great plan, looking forward
