It has probably been suggested somewhere, but is there a reason why the tax rate should not be managed per city, rather than empire wide?

I haven't had time to actually play since beta 3, so I can't address the big things, but I did want to show up to vote for calling it "Fallen Enchantress" for the reasons already stated. Thanks for all your hard work on this thing!

[.90] Faction Surrender wonky/buggy in FE Beta Elemental Forums

This may not be a bug as much as a design oversight. Either way, it felt wrong. Around turn 100 I met the Tarth. I'm pretty noob, so I had roughly a 25 kingdom rating. The Tarth had about an 11 kingdom rating. Immediately upon meeting them ( without ever actually entering their territory or engaging in a battle with them ) I went into the diplomacy screen and declared war on them. I then noticed that I could offer to accept their surrender.&nbs

Reply to [.86] crossing the line in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I agree. These targetting problems are super-annoying. It is often very difficult to actually click a target and I find myself rotating the map around just so I can try to click from a different angle. Playing with the grid off is well and good, but when you are trying to plan out future locations of units based on how many moves they have, this isn't really going to be an option...

I like www.gamespy.com for reviews (an IGN affiliate). That and message boards, as someone else already said. Gamespot is probably the last place I would ever go for a review, they are clearly in bed with the publishers.

Assuming that you are interested in RPG / Strategy games (based on the forum in which you are posting and the games you purchased already), here are my suggestions: Final Fantasy Tactics - (If you somehow managed to never play this, you have done yourself a disservice.) Please ignore the goofy translation and steep learning curve. Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen (limited edition) - amazing strategy game, originally for SNES was re-released on PS1.

Reply to Game freezes, graphics break, fixed by minimize? in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

Figured it out yesterday when I discovered the same issue happening in another 3d intensive program. Hadn't seen it before, so I apologize. It's a hardware issue. Power supply is 3 years old and on its last leg (apparently). It seems it was periodically dropping the voltages to some of my hardware. I guess DG was just the most intensive thing I run right now, so it managed to hit the issue first.

Upgraded to SP3. Already had latest directX (9.0c). Still happens. I'm open to other ideas. Never had a problem like this with another game.

[quote who="JagerJack" reply="8" id="2290140"] Pantheon is broken, so what should they say?[/quote] I get matched in pantheon games in a few minutes tops, and generally the game begins without a hitch. Once in a while it will hang on "waiting for other players," but I don't see that as being related to pantheon. One time I ended up in a game that was 3 humans versus me and 2 AIs, another was 3 humans vs. 3 AIs, and another was 2 humans vs. 1 human (with no AI)

Game freezes, graphics break, fixed by minimize? in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

So generally about once per game I will freeze up for about 30 seconds -- which freezes not only me, but everyone else in the game. Once things start moving again my graphics are totally broken (see pic). Now, my first thought was that my video card was overheating (although I've never had a temp problem before playing other graphic intensive games i.e. Fallout3 / Obli

Reply to Demigod Pantheon Statistics - Log/Info/Suggestions in Demigod Demigod Forums

How much longer until stat tracking works? I am pleased to say that it appears all of my games are tracking in the pantheon now and counting towards my record (good job!). However, please make the 3 minute concede "no harm done" start from the point the game actually begins, not from the point where you get hung at "waiting for other players" as the game tries to load. That's pretty useless. My last "loss" in pantheon came when the other 3 players disconnecte
