Re: OT: Hardware Review Sites?

I build my own PCs -- which I don't recommend unless you intend to make a hobby/business of it. The following places will give you a good idea as to what components are important, which can help when...

Re: The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly: Spells

I didn't play Dom1, so I can't compare. What was most frustrating to me in Dom2 is not knowing why my script was being ignored -- was I doing something wrong, was it a game bug? Some message like...

What nation should I play next?

I just finished a game as Vanheim on the Kingdom of Karan map. I really like the flexibility of Vanheim: mobility, commanders that are mages/priests/scouts, etc., but I want to try a different...

Re: Kingdom of Karan and Targa

I just finished my first game on Karan, and I definitely liked it as a map. And it's very pretty! Even though I started stuck in the lower left corner squashed in by Ulm. ...

Re: Why do my commanders keep dying of disease?

Seems to me it's more a terminology issue than anything else. The common definition of "disease" is not "sickness with 100% mortality rate", so when everyone who gets a disease dies, the player is...

Re: buggy blade wind?

As a newcomer who never played Dom1, I have to say that a lot of these spread spells seem worse than useless -- they waste an action and fatigue for the mage, and rarely if ever hit anything (and if...

Re: Reasons why the computer will not cast the spells you script

Hmph. I'd prefer a "I Mean It!" option or something that casts the spells regardless of opposition. I'd rather burn a few gems than lose a spellcaster because he thought the opposition was weak.

Of course, if the program had the option to change the password, the problem would be the standin changing it and not letting you back in. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Body parts

So if a commander has lost an eye and you give him a magical one, he becomes blind rather than using the empty socket?

Re: Speeding up battles

It would be quite possible if you had to view at normal speed first, but could rewind to anything that you'd already seen (since it would have already been calculated locally). That alone would be a...

Re: Speeding up battles

The only part of battles that is "too slow" is the "arcing" effects: arrows, shard spells, etc., each of which take 5 seconds or so. There's no question in my mind that this is an issue which should...

Re: All the Posts are... backwards?

There are other threads on this (and a poll in the Ask Shrapnel forum). Short answer: it's how the board was set up, all the old-timers are used to it, they plan to look into it (and probably upgrade...

Crusherknack spell?

The magic item PDF lists this as the On Hit effect for the Smasher, but I can't find the spell in the manual (probably just not seeing it). Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: Posts are backwards why?

If fixing the post order is on your work queue, that's all I can ask -- obviously paying the bills is more important than this stuff. I would definite put in a strong request to upgrade when you have...
