The future of Fall from Heaven

So much spam in this thread

FFH was nice, but not great since all the civ4 engine limitations... some of the things really bothered me, especially too much micro which was even worse than in civ games (mages, items etc, all done by unit).

I really loved mom, maybe it would be nice to have a similar game with multiplayer and in modern engine similar to civ4 in features (reconect etc.). Anyway ffh has a potential to be a few times better than mom anyway, even as a mod there was a lot more content there. It just has to be put together and made to work

Damn, are you looking for programers?

edit: And damn, I don't like the "more rpg approach" elemental: war of magic is apparently gonna take... strategy with rpg elements is just way better. Its annoying to have yourself killed... I gave up age of wonders after 30 minutes.

you lose, AOW kicks ass, give it one more try.

I certainly like the approach that elemental is going (w/ more RPG elements)

AoW DOES kick ass and, as I recall, someone made a really stunning Lord of the Rings mod for it. I mean, this thing was really excellent. My friends and I killed many, many hours doing co-op hotseat with that mod.

That's not fair. I didn't know I had any nerd credits to begin with.

It's like on Scrubs when Dr.Cox does the whole man card thing with JD. He doesn't tell him the penalties for losing his man cards, he just takes them when he does something to lose them. The real question is, how many nerd cards does each person have?

Hey, guys. 32 pages is a lot to read through, so I'm hoping someone wouldn't mind answering the following question:

Has Kael (or anyone else involved) given more information other than what's in the very first post on this thread concerning the stand alone FFH game?

No more information has been revealed. If it is I'll update the first post (I don't expect people to read through the entire thread).

Excellent. Thanks for the response. I will definitely be anticipating more information!

This is a complete lie: We have also heard that Kael cannot tell us more.

Agreed about pre-purchase.

I'd buy it too. way ahead of time. The ammount of hours i've spent on FFH1/2 is ridiculatory!

Any podcasts and such? demos? betas?
do share

Thanks. I've been wondering if I'd missed something by only checking the first post all this time. Still patiently waiting!

 

[lumpthing]

Yep, that info should be added to the original post. I keep wondering whether I should check through the thread.

Considering I spent the better of three whole days playing a single game of FFH2 mod, if you manage to make a game just as good and not load it with sh*tty DRM (like Civ5), you can count on getting my money.
I hope you'll be able to reawaken the flame of the good ol' MoM that has spent so many years alone :'(

After seeing a lot more about the direction there taking with Civ 5, I very likely will prefer FFH3.

 

[Valkrionn]

Again: Why is everyone so sure FfH3 will be anything like FfH2? I wouldn't be surprised if the only similarity is the setting; Genre, style of game, everything else can be different.

I really do not believe that it will a standalone version of FfH2; What's the point of that? Why stick to the same thing over and over? Why compete with Civ5, when you could instead develop something different and unique?

Bc all its fans loved FFH2 and I for one would be very dissapointed if its a big departure from that.

 

[Valkrionn]

I personally would be disappointed if it is FfH as a standalone game.

There is potential in Erebus for a game of virtually any genre; I think that potential should be explored.

Lets start with a nice turn based strategy. RTS wouldn't be too bad. Maybe a FFH themed game similar to the paradox stuff.
