Thanks, I'd wondered about that.

64 in FE Support Elemental Forums

When I download from Steam it puts the game in the program32 library. I understand that FE runs 64 with threading and I'd like to be sure I'm getting that. How do I know if I'm getting the 64 experience and if it should go into a different library how do I do that with a steam download?

Graphic fade in FE Support Elemental Forums

During play the graphics showing boundaries and highlighting active units fade away. So do titles in the ledger. Everything starts out fine and then it simply degrades. Happens all the time. My drivers are up to date. Running windows 10.

Some thoughts on FE in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

Another reasonable but not especially brilliant attempt at recreating Master of Magic, Age of Wonders still does it better. ---- Never interrupt turn processing to force the player to communicate, finish processing the turn. Allow all possible operations in any screen that are germane to that location. For example, if in the city detail screen not only should you be able to cancel a city spell but you should be able to cast one too rather than having to exit and

Etc in Offworld Trading Company Stardock Forums

I was expecting something like Capitalism Plus in space, but it's over in a few minutes. If it's to be a quick tournament game, it needs a lot less detail and setup. If it's to be a persistent online game, it needs a strategic structure that can allow long time and new players to exist reasonably. If it's to be a long play personal game, it needs to last hours and give value. So f

The problem isn't space opera, it's doing things that make no sense. Some other neat science issues: http://io9.com/12-ways-humanity-could-destroy-the-entire-solar-system-1696825692

Reply to General thoughts in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

The physics of the universe are rather well known. And so are the distances. Light only moves so fast. If you (somehow) move faster, then no one can see you coming. Like the bullet that travels faster than sound, it arrives before it is announced. Distances in space are vast beyond comprehension. Looking for a fleet in interstellar space would be near impossible, not only for the problem of detecting emissions the only move at the speed of light,

Reply to Tech trading in this game is a micromanagement nightmare in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

The problem is the micromanagement itself. Tech trade, and in fact all trade, should occur in a natural way and the player simply set policies that his minions strive to conform to. The player could make adjustments but basically let discrete automatons of varying quality do the brute work.

When creating a science fiction game .... in Galactic Civilizations Series Stardock Forums

http://io9.com/yes-it-matters-if-the-science-in-your-science-fiction-1685017746 Whether in a game or a book, a minimum amount of accuracy is called for. Or the subject becomes so implausible it can't be seriously read or played.

Reply to Wormholes should become first class citizens in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

How does influence flow through a vacuum? Worm holes, as naturally occurring objects, are not specifically formed or engineered for travel, safety, or communication. They should therefore be various degrees of hazardous intrinsically. There may also be time dilation effects. Or something more weird, like you could be popped into another universe with different physics. A range of persistence is certainly desirable, but you should be better of m

General thoughts in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

http://foreignpolicy.com/2012/09/28/aircraft-carriers-in-space/ It always bothered me that space stations could have influence beyond a solar system, that any useful information could be had by long distance scans (other than historical), or that space battles could occur at all in deep space (good luck finding a fleet in a cubic light year of space). The problem is distance and time.&
