I have had a number of problems with ffh, for the longest time after hitting continue on game start, i would get the age of magic has ended movie screen, but it would apear blank and cause a crash to desktop, i tried to play on another computer and had the exact same result. i found this post...

Give em fire and give em death. No other spheres come close to the power of fire and death. Mobility can sometimes be delayed in single player games, but is vital in MP.

Thanks. I enjoyed the read. I very rarely set out to develop a trade economy, but I work towards them if circumstances permit. I have never understood how trade routes are determined and that takes a lot of the fun out of it for me. Just the same, unless you're in the unfortunate...

First piece of advice: Do not play one vs. one games with your friend. Diplomacy and international intrigue are really the best weapons against an early Khazad rush. Sureshot's advice, combined with Fox's, is probably best, but I'll throw my two cents in anyway: The problem with trying to...

I've heard it said around these parts that immortal level must be played for a challenging single-player game, but that even at deity level it is fairly easy to eek out wins on a consistant basis. I can agree with the first part, assuming that the player is fairly experienced and very...

It's pretty powerful. Maybe it's limited enough by being completely useless in MP games.

Possibly. The potential for attack is definitely higher on Immortal, but the actual frequency of attacks depends on how well you maintain your defense and on how well you can manipulate the AI against itself. I've completed games on Immortal without suffering any attacks. The reason I play an...

Ah. But I've experienced every sort of game while playing with people from this site. I have even been in team games with humans vs AI a few times. I'm always up for a peaceful game, and most FfH players I've gamed with seem willing to go that route too. Two things you might consider: Civ IV...

Thanks. Right after New Year's I plan to return to gaming full time. I should be able to play between the hours of 4AM and 3PM your time on weekdays and at any time on weekends. For scheduling purposes, I suggest you use GMT time since many FfH players hail from outside the States. I find...

brainpan happy funtime game settings: Speed: Normal Size: Standard Difficulty: Emperor (for peaceful games) Immortal (for warmongering) Map: Pangea, sometimes with extra civs (more potential for international intrigue and skullduggery when civs are kept close) Fave Civs: (.25 and...

Mogroth, Faeryl Viconia, and Auric Ulvin usually do quite well. The Clan tends to give the appearance of strength, but almost always proves itself a paper tiger.

I'll (hopefully) be up for gaming tomorrow. In the near future in any case. You might want to join FallFromHeavenTalisman password ffh as well.

I wonder what would happen if the standard Khazad expansion strat was run in reverse. What if Khazad settlements were spammed very early with each new city situated so it could produce a quick warrior and worker for itself? Perhaps having a cottage or two in each settlement would alleviate...

I didn't think of that, probably because I'm still enthralled with the wonders of Great Sage production. But even if it might be preferrable to pop out a Merchant or two as Khazad, I think it's a no-brainer that your first pop should be a Sage. No? Anyway, it has been a while since I've...

Using hawks as cheap fodder for assasins is usually considered an exploit in MP games. Most people don't complain when I throw surplus workers into a stack for the same purposes though.

This has already been hashed through, but I can't resist offering my agreement. Workers are an expensive item to build in the very early game, and it is imperative to use them to their full immediate potential, even if that means building farms on cattle. You pay a lot for a worker, so make...

Shocking!!

Yep. There's a lesson in that.

Yes, but only in cartoon form. Otherwise someone might take offense.
