Paragon_Leon Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 To the designers (I trust you actually read these forums).. no doubt you've nailed all the units and terrain etc., so adding a bunch won't happen until an expansion pack. I actually have a suggestion for recorded games.. (I trust they'll be included ?!?).. Is it possible to incoporate fast flashbacks, like pausing a game and then replaying the last twenty seconds for all to see ? That would make for some nice moments in multiplayer, I presume.. greets, Paragon_Leon:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 No offense, but what would the point of that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBOy Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 so you can laugh hysterically while you watch over and over again how you completly outmanuvered, crushed, defeated, and annialated your opponents infirior armies:bdroid2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 But it'd be cool to auto insert chapters, so you could see only one part of the game, without having to save manually every 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted July 30, 2001 Author Share Posted July 30, 2001 exactly. when i watch a recorded game in AOK, i still have to wait a long time before the action really begins in RM-games, even if i fast-forward. not only can you identify highlights easily, but you can also already enjoy some good moments WHILE you're still playing.

Compa_Mighty Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Yeah, that must be incorporated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 That could really make people mad in MP when you keep watching their mistakes an/or defeats over and over again. Plus, you'd have to stop the game, or else your opponent could do something while you were watching his defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted July 31, 2001 Author Share Posted July 31, 2001 of course it would be an option you can either turn on or off. and you can limit replays easily. so that shouldn't be a problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 i still think it's useless, but..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 It is useless! AoK has a feature where you can record games and watch them after the game ends, Why not just use that feature instead of instant replay'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 yeah, but have a fast forwad feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted July 31, 2001 Author Share Posted July 31, 2001 well, you should be able to determine where you'd want to start watching exactly. like one of those drag-option-things with movie-players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord JayVizIon Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 honestly, i don't see the point. i figure if they incorporate some sort of ladder system, that would be good enough for your ego. i don't know if they will incorporate it, but we'll see...

Guest Igonmondrian Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 I know this is off-topic, but.... I am a newbie to this site. I am not a newbie to Age of Empires, however. In fact, I have been an Age of Empires (I and II) junkie since it came out. One thing i came to absolutely hate about Age of Empires was the 200 unit population limit! (Which is why I eagerly await Cossaks, which has a limit of 8,000). Since the designers must look at these forums sometime, I would like to know how I could edit this low population limit to something more reasonable, like 2000 to 2500. If I cram I could go with 1000. I hate the 200 population limit wiht a passion, I would like to see a droid army with a collection of groups of 100 in 10x10 squares. I know my computer can take this, for I could run Cossaks with no trouble, and that has just as good of graphics as Age of Empires. I have Age of Empires 1 and 2 with expansions. Every single game I have ever played, I find myself killing narly all my villagers mid-game for 200 just isn't enough to waige a massive and convincing war. I will go now and wait for replies, so I will play Dark Forces (still, my favorite 3-d shooter) until the sun comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted August 1, 2001 Author Share Posted August 1, 2001 hey igonmondrian, welcome.. i come from the AOK forums too and hate the limit equally passionate. there was a fanmade scenario where they actually proved that that limit is completely redundant (I think it was called Massacre or something). however, i don't think Lucasarts will throw it wide open and allow for 1000-unit armies. i don't think so, but i'm silently hoping they do.

Guest Master Yoda Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 that would be cool to have 1000 unit armies but theres alot of people out there who dont have computers that can handle that many units and still have good graphics, I know my comp can handle it but they still have to be able to sell the game..

Guest Kvan Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Thats why it would probably be a good idea to be able to change how many units you can have at one time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Yes, it'd sure be great. It would run in my comp, but not in most of my friend's. That's possibly the main reason why they don't increase the pop cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Igonmondrian Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 I know there are alot of computer gameers out there with low-end machines. I have a friend (Allen) who uses an Amstrad. I would like to find some sort of configuration file go in there with a text editor and edit the population limit maually. Or something. If LA would do that, it'd be great. People with lower-end computers can ignore it, and high-end computer users could embrace it. O LA could just have a dropdown menu with population limits like in AOE. Only they could have a menu with numbers-it could go like this... Population Limit: 2000 (faster machines only) 1500 (faster machines only) 500 (faster machines only) 250 (middle of the road machines) 200 (middle of the road machines) 150 (all machines) 100 (all machines) 50 (all machines) Have large, configurable population limit. Warn people with lower-end machines. The solution is so simple, it's brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted August 2, 2001 Author Share Posted August 2, 2001 Igon, nice idea... in MP you'd have to be sure that minimum specs are good enough for everybody though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Igonmondrian Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 i realized that it wasn't fair in Mp when I finished typing it. So I think it should have a 200 population limit only for Multiplayer. That would make it simple, for I have a 56k and it runs fine on mine and pretty much everyones got a 56k or better. So 200 would be fine for MP. Otherwise configurable population limit should be the way to go. I want to see a big huge droid army like in Episode 1. Not much more to say. I just finished my extreamly nutritious breakfast of cookies and coffee, so I will now go to play Dark Forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
