[BUG] New Game Doesn't Delete Data in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

If there are threads on this already, I apologize. But with 8 pages of threads, I figure it better to post anew and ensure the developers see it, so I can spend more time testing and less time making sure it wasn't already posted. It appears that when starting a new skirmish after having lost the previous one, data isn't properly erased. The following screenshots demonstrate many of the things carried over. <img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/Acratin/folders/Jing/med

[BUG] Kingdom Income Miscalculation/Display in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

One screen says I'm losing money each turn. The results of each turn differ. These screenshots are taken one turn apart. Yes, they are in the correct order. I don't see any way to signify a turn number in-game at this point. Turn X: Turn X+1: <img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/Acr

Reply to Balance to World Changing Spells in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

But the effort required to gather full information makes it different than a pure mana for results scheme. It does put the defender at a huge disadvantage against an opponent they're unaware of, but I don't feel that to be a bad thing. If a channeller gets to the point of being able to cast a devestating spell against your forces, and you're unaware of it, then you probably deserve the results of a sneak attack! They're usually more damaging in D&D for a reason. I do like the conc

Reply to Balance to World Changing Spells in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I'm feeling it more as an 'it will be done when it's done' kinda thing. November's not a bad shot though. Hopefully pre-Black Friday so I can get a chance to fiddle before work consumes my life, my being, and my soul. ;) I like the idea of a full and detailed countermagic system, with a battle of wills and magics sometimes resulting in a null result. I wouldn't want a simple 'spend X essence to counter this spell' setup, however. Although sometimes effective, it's not all that much fu

Because I have no credit card at the moment, nor the info for my checking account! (Where -did- that checkbook go?). Anyway, if you plan to get it on preorder from Gamestop, you'll need to wait until Tuesday to pick it up in almost every case. Just how the shipping works at the company.

Reply to Dawn of Victory - Total Conversion: Use the newer thread idiots. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Pardon if this has already been answered, but I've not the time to read this entire post at this point, and I'm curious: Having read the entire series of source material, is it safe to presume that the events of Homeward Bound never occured during this version, or did something horrible happen to upset the balance after the visit to the seat of the Empire?

Reply to Release date in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

As of right now Stardock is still looking for a European publisher. Your best bet at the moment would be to preorder or order directly from Stardock, which will allow you to make a download of the game on release day and have the boxed copy shipped.

[quote]As a former journalist, that kind of thing always ticked me off, so I've purposely put Sins' minimum requirements higher than what's typical for the industry. You can rest assured that if your PC meets the minimums, the game will play pretty well. [/quote] Good, as I need a processor upgrade. It just barely meets the minimum reqs, and that was my concern. The rest of my PC is stable and good though! (Athlon 64 2800+ - 1.8GHz) Always loved you guys at St

Reply to Racial abilities & Techs in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Related but not, I've had an issue with a custom race, where it would not let me select any racial abilities when starting. Whether I hit reset to set everything to zero, or manually removed the pre-selected ones, it would just flash the x for a moment if I tried to make another choice, then go back to blank.

These days, EB Games is Gamestop too. (Along with Babbages and Funcoland. Yay corporations!) I know that Gamestop is supposed to be getting it in throughout their stores, so...yes, I agree with Yarlen. *shiftyeyes*
