mmo-ish 4x space game: http://www.nicelycrafted.com/todc/index.html tried it out for a month a couple years ago. originally it was 24/7, which lead to me being stupid and losing sleep by waking up every couple hours to check on the game, i think theyve since made it limited by the number of hours a day you can play. was kind of interesting. games lasted a week to a month, kind of like pantheon in demig
youre not the first, sadly
lol. it's prob more that stardock is est than "the most powerful cities in the world" are in est, which is debatable. and i live in new york. london paris shanghai singapore etc might question that statement ;)
[quote]I think there will be a lot of problems in the future with digital distribution. It can be very convenient and handy, true, but as I just pointed out with the above paragraph it can have it's problems as well. Do I think Digital Distribution will save PC gaming? No, not on it's own, but I do think it will help. I just hope in the future it doesn't turn into the only option.[/quote] how many cd stores do you see compared to before? or blockbusters? or drive in movie theaters?</p
[quote who="jongalt26" reply="4" id="2399744"]I think a lot of other things should take priority though.[/quote] and how complicated can this be? a check box in options, games are already counted as ranked/unranked based on having real players on other team, so that's in there. not like adding new maps/demigods...
this has been asked for many times. definitely yes.
i thought i read elsewhere that the players online # was people on impulse with demigod installed. so people playing demigod and people with demigod installed but not playing and impulse running (and playing another game or nothing at all). it's pretty easy to figure out roughly how many people are actually playing at once by multiplying # of games, it's closer to 150-300 (25-50 games x 6 average players) than then 1500-3000 which shows up in the players online #. numbe
very cool, im with shakenbake that this is exactly what this game needs.
this is why you keep your own lists of 1. who you like to team with, and 2. who you'd never team with again ;)
[quote who="Pod808" reply="2" id="2385013"]I still think they oughta put an unranked option. Do that and i'll happily play with noobs on my team and teach them the ropes.[/quote] please, yes
[quote]why not just play pantheon to buid your record back up a bit?[/quote] pantheon... i keep seeing pantheon games in the open games list as 3:3:6:6 this means 2 humans 1 ai vs 1 human 2 ai, no? i'll pass.

Elemental will be my first real chance to see them come to life. I’m very excited.[/quote] very cool. [quote]One thing I would really like to see with regards to AI is that not all computer players play the same. Have different personalities and add some randomness. [/quote] this.
i've now had this happen 2-3 times. the game seems to end fine (no desync), but it never shows up in my list of games. as far as i can remember one or more people on either team have left before the end, but thats true for most games.

loved Myth. here one link: http://projectmagma.net/ think its a group thats been updating it recently, you might need to have the old disks though.
If you had been able to predict all of this as a college student you wouldnt be making games ;) Pretty much all aspects of being an adult seem to revolve around enormous amounts of paper work, unfortunately.
[quote who="Guderian77" reply="23" id="2369658"]What if a simple supply/demand system were put in place? Track the frequency that items are purchased and adjust the cost up/down by a percentage each week until the purchase price is equal to the usefullness of the item. At first we would have exactly what we have now, but based on actual game play we would get automatic item balancing. Anytime any item was too OP, word would get out, people would buy it in droves and the price would increase u

[quote]Well i don't plan to play one of his "pro vs noobs" games anymore [/quote] there's alot of people who play together constantly, the longer you play the more you see this. i suggest you alt-tab out before you join a room and check the host's stats and have a look at couple of their previous games to see if they play with the same people every time. then check the people on your team and their team before you ready up... it will save you alot of grief. it's hard to get a balanced
[quote who="_Golgoth_" reply="26" id="2364095"]I love this build soo much because the dodge is awesome But I hate it soo much because it needs mist and I cant stand mist [/quote] personally id just get 1 level in mist first to use as a gtfo tool, then start building up charm instead. you lose 10% of of the dodge, but will have more demigod killing power (which i find more useful). if you want you can build up the rest of mist later.

it's definitely a pain in the ass, would be great if the fix is in 1.2... and we hopefully wont have to alt-tab as much in 1.2 anyway ;)
[quote]I'm sure your intentions are good, but this wont really help the noob players. To become better one simply needs experience, and you get that by PLAYING ALOT OF GAMES (and trying to learn from mistakes).
