Well I really dont like how fast he shoots but I guess it aint gunna change.

Wuzaa-man:
I think the AI really sucks. Why can't they ever make a game where you're not a god damn superbeing.

_Freek:
Eh. I wouldnt judge the AI at this point, it usually doesnt work right until about a month before release. The Archer should have limited ammo, imho, just like a normal shooter. But you could see that enemy soldiers were all melee in this case, and would fail to actually hit the archer even if standing in front of him.

I think we can judge balance better once the AI has been properly developed to be a challenge.

zach:
I agree limited ammo should be implemented, by limiting ammo, warriors and scouts should lose their ranged weapons, the mage should have a 'stamina' bar that is depleated with each spell(some spells using more).

quinner5:
I wish the archer wasnt so good and the AI can actually help you. It would be so much better looking to see a Gondorian kill an orc as you fight one also. It will be even better if it werent so easy to kill them

_Freek:
I'm sure it will improve. They still have three months.

I hope. Although I won't be playing this for a long time... XD

_Freek:
Why is that?

Wuzaa-man:
Lack of money.

_Freek:
For a single game, coming out in three months? Or don't you have a console/reasonable PC to play it on?

quinner5:
I wont be playing this a lot due to lack of game system. I'll first need to find someone who has it, then pretend to be their friend, then sneak into their house every day to play it

zach:
Lol, well will your pc support it?

Ayodon:
Im 100% sure it wont work on mine
i need to buy a new pc :(

zach:
Darn and thats a BIG investment. If you dont really care about playing on a POC, get a 360 or a PS3 u can have everything you nee dplus Conquest for both for under $500.

If you want a 360:
20 GB Xbox 360 $300
13 Month Xbox Live $50
Conquest $60
Possibly Extra Contrller for a Friend $20-40 (Can get used)

PS3
40 GB PS3 $400
Conquest $60
Possibly Extra Contrller for a Friend $20-40 (Can get used)

quinner5:
My PC is a family one and it wont be able to support it

zach:
Well its kinda late in the summer to get a summer job, buy you could easily make enough $ by mowing 3-4 yards to get a PS3/Xbox 360.

samoht:
Why not ask for a new one for you?

You could maybe get it for your birthday or maybe for christmas. it just depends on how much you really want a new computer and Conquest.:)

_Freek:
I could recommend getting a gaming console. The PS3 and Xbox360 are both much cheaper then a gaming PC, and offer an experience that is far more relaxed then PC gaming. You don't have to worry about system specs or balancing out graphics quality/FPS when you first play your game.

Although the PC has its merits (multiplayer) I think that gaming consoles are a serious alternative also looking at the amount of PC games vs Console games.

And I know American parents give their kids crazy expensive presents, but a $400 console/PC? Seriously!?

Ayodon:
HAHAHA! thats a good one no seriously tho if I wanted somthing like that Id get of my butt and get a job my parents would never
buy me somthing like that

zach:
Well you could always get a part time job, and ask for money instead of presents for your birthday/chirstmas and you should have more than enough by the time Conquest releases.

Durrh:
Hmm, this game doesn't look very difficult to run on an okay computer. I am mistaken . . . ?

_Freek:
At the very least an Nvidia 6800 or higher, and a 2,2ghz+ single-core with 1GB or ram. Depends on how scalable it could be, could turn out a bit higher.

Ayodon:
okay so I watched the video and yes the fire rate is to fast but if you slow the fire rate then you should increase the damage that each arrow does

_Freek:
Good point, and I'd have to agree with you there. It would be interesting to see how the archer handles itself with more tough opposition (eg. human players, heroes, officers and ranged opposition)

thats all i needed to know. im pretty sure my comp has those things.

ssp0929:
Agh. I thought it was going to be a huge-scale battle. The courtyard seen had a lot more than 10 Gondorian soldiers in it... I mean at least 50 soldiers (orcs and gondorians) total.

Cheeky Hobbit:
Don't worry about it - unit count can easily be increased. Pandemic has promised up to 150 units on screen for this game, and I truly believe them.

ssp0929:
Yeah! Now that's a number that I like.

Ayodon:
yeah I LOVE massive battles!

ssp0929:
As long as the Framerate and quality don't drop too much because of those numbers.

_Freek:
That's probably the reason why there aren't so many units yet. The graphics have had quite an increase in quality since the first screenshots, and they probably had to make a few sacrifices in terms of the amount of units. I am sure that engine optimizations will allow for more units to be present on-screen.

Ayodon:
well remember in the movie when the gate was breeched all the orcs flowing in if there was a set number of units 50 for example every time you kill a orc another one comes thru the gate so it gives you the feeling of a much larger battle

ssp0929:
^ That's an excellent idea. A frequently used one too. :P
