So has anyone picked up Eador Masters of a Broken World?? Released today right??

[Tpek]

I've already played it a bit.

So far looks like Eador Genesis with better graphics and requiring some massive patching :P

 Dammit...can't someone release a game that isn't half finished

ghostryder posted his thoughts on the final beta build a couple days ago over at WG, and he strongly recommended waiting until the game was thoroughly patched.  Granted, this is ghostie we're talking about, so one must take his criticisms with a grain of salt; however, unlike some of his previous comments regarding games, his critiques on this one sound pretty valid. 


Between that and comments from our fellow Grogs (such as Tpek), you may want to hold off for now.

No problem; as good as Eador looks, the last thing I need right now is yet another new game.

A buncha other grogs talked about the game at its old thread. Apparently it was going terrible at the beta already.

Yeah. I have dominions and AoW to scratch my nerd itch and Stardrive for my 4x itch

In fairness, some of the problems with the beta have been corrected (turn times, combat sounds, the building interface, inability to exit shops).  However, I've read that there are still people having crash issues or not being able to launch the game on Win7-64 systems.  Since it's on Steam and GOG, and therefore will be going on sale before too long, I'm holding off until it does and has been patched a couple of times,

I pre-ordered and downloaded it this afternoon.  Haven't played with it too much, but did already get one Access violation error when clicking on the 'wheel of quarters".  Haven't noticed any other issue(s) yet. [I am running Windows 7 Pro (64-bit), 4GB RAM, nVidia GTS450 (1GB vRAM)]...

I pre-ordered Eador: Masters of the Broken World from GOG.com but don't know whether to install it now or wait a couple of weeks until it's been patched. I read somewhere that it works fine right now except for the multiplayer. I also read somewhere there was a minor graphics glitch of some kind.

One thing I really, really hate is having to uninstall/reinstall games, so I will probably wait until everyone says it's fixed.

On my phone now so won't say much except that Shadow Magic is one of the greatest games of all time!

CoE3 is great too!

I'm tempted to pick up CoE3 at that price.  I don't know if I have the bandwidth to play it though, Dom3 is ruling my life right now wrt computer games.

You will likely find CoE3 a good little pasttime whiel waiting for Dom3 turns to come in.  It'll keep you immersed in the same world and lore, too. :)

Been doin' some Dom3 singleplayer again lately, too.   8)
