Lot are mentioned already but here goes (from someone who literally played moo2, homm and civ2/4 to death: - Braid: Falls into the time filler category, dont let the genre (puzzle-platform) scare you. The games atmosphere, music and creativity makes this something everyone should play. Star Control 2 (Or in your case go for the fan made remake "The Ur Quan Masters".

I think i have a coupon somewhere in my mail, PM to get the code. EDIT: GONE, well that went fast.
Normal speed feels like crawling to me, i cant imagine playing it even slower. I usually go +1 in custom games.
[quote]THERE'S AN ATTACK-MOVE OPTION!?!?!?! Sweet [/quote] Dont start to use it now, its horribly bugged and frustrating :P
Noticed the same, quite annoying as this is a very important move for me aswell.
[quote who="Melric" reply="11" id="2155133"]Multiplayer is completely fubar'd right now. It's a real crap shoot whether you will be able to get into a game. It starts once you get into the lobby. You see all these games, but when you click to join, you immediately get a cannot connect error message. When you do find a game that you can connect to, you spend a good amount of time waiting for a connection to be established between your computer and everyone elses.
Although multiplayer is in a quite bad state atm, my doubts and frustrations would have been way worse if it werent for the involvement of ceos/devs etc, so this post is deserved.
[quote quoting="post"] Menus lag when you cancel out or click them for 5-10 seconds if not more. Auto-refresh the game lobby. Whos great idea was this? You could just login to the lobby and scroll the bottom list of games and all of a sudden here comes a big lag spike because it is already refreshing. Then when you find a game to join it fails to connect, then it auto-refreshes with lag again. What is with the refresh button anyways? Why does the b
I just "lost" a game which we were 3v0 because it was slaugther mode, no one to kill and my npc buddies kept dying [e digicons]XD[/e]
Most of the times it happens to me is when i teleport back to base, and use the shop. The tooltips will not show and selection circles will bug, and when i leave the shop all text will stay. I cant reproduce the bug at will yet tho, so it might not be related :P.
Im sorry if it has been posted before but couldnt find anything on it, in most RTS games (and dota) theres a command to attack the ground (like atk click on the ground and the demigod will walk towards the area and immidiately attack the first hostile on its path). Is there anything like that in the game so far? Would be really great with such a feature.
Not yet
At the very start (level 1) your hero doesnt have any of the skills you see on the hotbar and they are greyed out. Whenever you level you get a skillpoint which you can assign to learn a skill. This is done by clicking on the yellow blinking button with a number corresponding to the number of skillpoints you have. Only after having trained the skill will you be able to use it.
Everything runs smoothly from downloading to playing, so in that respect phase 1 seems to be on track (at least for me). As for actual gameplay, the game seems to be a lot more fast paced than dota, which of course can be a good thing given that theres enough depth. Im having real trouble identifying heroes from creeps (especially regulus but not the rook), and i seriously miss sidescrolling with the mouse. Most of these and other issues i have so far are things i expect will be fixed a
Preordered 30 Aug, dled at 1mb and tried one game. Everything runs smoothly but im having trouble taking off my "dota-glasses". Its late here in europe so ill go to bed and go on again tomorrow
Now do the same for dota :P
Is there a bnet channel you start from in addition to irc?
Will you be able to preorder and join the beta after it has started? Im very curious towards this, but im rather hestitant to invest in a game i literally know nothing about, just to be part of a beta test.
