Any save/load bug, or other annoying bug for huge maps left over ? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

hello, I'm considering buying this game since someone is gonna give me a -66% voucher on steam. I know maybe some of you guyz will say it's worth the full price but it's difficult enough to get the wife to agree to me buying (and therefore playing) games.[e digicons]O:)[/e] Back to the subject I remember that galciv2 had this pretty annoying save/reload bug once. Basically if you saved at end of turn, reloading reset the amount of movement spent, therefore giving

Reply to [1.00]An experiement looking into AI behavior on Challenging. [Concluded] in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="30" id="3261539"]Without responding to the particulars...why would new players be increasing the difficulty to challenging? The game defaults to Easy. There's two levels below easy. And above challenging, all bets are off. If I could play scary sounds to distract you to help the AI, I would.

Reply to The game is too easy (challenging) in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="rvgr" reply="8" id="3264157"] Also, most games can be exploited in one way or another: for example, Jagged Alliance 2 (a great game) can be beaten in about 10 minutes using completely legitimate means. If you play it that way every time, then yeah, it's no fun. The question is, WHY play it that way? [/quote] I don't own that game (elemental) yet neither Jagged Alliance 2. But I just wanted to reply to that in general, the reason would be

Reply to Default ship stronger then player designed for no reason? in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

[quote who="TheUltimateEnd" reply="3" id="2064342"]Well I know if you build custom frigates, or small vessels, you don't have enough space to make the ship as good as the pre made ones. Specifically you can't put a gun and a +1 movement engine on them but the pre built ships can move 2 parsecs . Unless I overlooked something obvious.[/quote]which version of the game & expansion you have ?

Reply to NOT COOL in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

May I suggest to use the "Archive" function once you download a game with this platform, this will create local files (that you can burn or store) to reinstall the game without having to redownload the whole damn thing. While I understand your pain, uninstalling a "previous" version is quite often a requirement for applications & games and demos could be understood as "previous" versions. On the other hand, with a little registry knowledge it's probably fixable. But I agre

Reply to Need a debug reader in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

Hum this seems like a normal debug "Destroying Window" is 100% normal. I note that the game seems to post and recieve a "WM_CLOSE". While recieving such a message is normal when you close the game, it seems the game itself triggers that "WM_CLOSE" message/event. (" post ") although maybe not related I would personnaly make sure that no background applications AND screensaver could trigger while playing Also looking a

I find it, strange that you are not able to finish a game due to random events. [e digicons]o_O[/e] because AFAIK loading a savegame should NOT restart the same random event at the same point.

unplayable is a bit far fetched, don't you think ? random events being as random as they are, shouldn't render the game unplayable or did I miss something not written in this post ? though, the only problem I'm aware of with random events is the "dread lords" one
