Reply to [Feedback/Suggestion] Allow player to view enemies/teammates items/(possibly) skills in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

In the older Beta Versions you got CVS-Files with detailed listing of damage, gold, equipment, skills that were used by all participants of a match (even minute-by-minute). The current Beta doesn't store this info anymore (at least not at the same folder and I havn't look very thoroghly lately).

Same here. The audio goes all choppy too - but I'm having that problem when it gets crowded during the normal game anyway. AMD64 X2 5000+ Nvidia 8800 GTS 2GB RAM WinXP SP3

Fences not showing after last update in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

After Updating to the latest version of Fences (0.96.40 from 0.96.39) all Fences turned invisible, the lables have gone missing as well as the scrollbars. I was still able to resize and move the fences windows by placing the mouse on the (now invisible) fence border. After uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling fences I could create a fence with rightclick-dragging but the new fence stayed invisible again, still no lables. I checked if lables were on or the fences colors were

Reply to Primitive alphas and betas in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

While eye-candy is nice it almost always doesn't make or break a game. Bad gameplay mechanics however will. I never liked the style-over-substance approach. So no problem with me if you go the way of the Dwarf Fortress (although the cloth map does admittingly look better than ANSI graphics). ;)

Works for me. LAN games are not supported in the beta (it even says so if you try to play a LAN game). Is your internet connection on at the time you are trying to play? This has to be the case.

Not knowing that there was a new patch I purchased Sins today here in Germany. So after reading the news I just downloaded the whole game in Impulse. Registering the game with the serial was no problem at all, downloading was very fast (under one hour) and I even got the option to install the english version (which I prefer anyway).

The strategic choice in this case would be which field of study to emphasize. I agree with Nathaniel as I feel that a little randomness helps keeping one on the edge and focusing more on the overall strategic choices and not to micromanage everything.

Rarity of spells in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Will there be a touch of randomness in the spells you are able to obtain during one game? One thing that made each game of MoM unique was that you never quite new which Spells you could research (unless you figured out the garbeled characters in your spellbooks which wasn't too hard - but I disgress). Depending on how many picks in each magic realm you had you could chose a number of common, uncommon and rare spells (the parallels to Magic: the Gathering were quite apparent in this re

Reply to Re-thinking 4X economics in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

When implementing such a system (which in itself sounds pretty nifty by the way) you should be careful to change the usual system of production queues. You have to make sure the item on top can't block everything just because one resource is missing. So production should be parallel and not sequential (with the possibility to emphasize perhaps) although then you have to avoid the possibility of a production item on lower priority "stealing" a limited but needed resource from
