How cold did it get?
Chances are that the cold caused moisture to condense and short the computer...that is just a guess though

Kerbal Space Program and Crusader Kings 2...
Space race with medieval politics?
Colonizing planets ASAP to exert control of the galaxy with a feudal system?
CK2 politics on the local space station orbiting the planet?

« on: February 20, 2015, 10:26:35 am »Where is the quiver located? (I believe it was common for mounted archers to have the quiver around waist height rather than on their backs.
What bow are they using? (Long bows can't be used as they're too big to swap from one side of the horse to the other.)
that's why they use recurve bows...shorter length with similar power making them much easier to use on horeback
Also back quickers were not the norm unless you are talking about American Indians

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mounted_archery
"A horse archer, horsed archer, or mounted archer is a cavalryman armed with a bow, able to shoot while riding from horseback."
"In the tactic of the Parthian shot the rider would retreat from the enemy while turning his upper body and shooting backwards."
Mounted archery was a mobile thing so...I would say that the developers made an odd and unnecessary choice...I suppose its a balance thing

Kingdoms too...that way you can pass out duchies and kingdoms to keep your vassal/demesne limits in check without actually losing the titles from your family line

« on: February 17, 2015, 03:48:34 pm »I love this game. I put down my $50 and I would like to see a demo / early access build. I might even write a preview on my blog.
Please? Need early access ...
If we get early builds we can do previews and stuff.
This is a preview I did of an Alpha build of a Roguelike called Keeper RL (well worth looking at incidentally) -
http://matthewhopkinsnews.com/?p=653
The game has a vaguely similar premise to Dungeon Keeper - not so much an ancient evil re-awakening as your first time round as the big bad - a banished Warlock trying to become the Dark Lord. Good fun though.
Think I found the source of butt hurt...almost no posts by this guy except on this thread...it starts out with him sucking up asking early access...he doesn't get it so apparently he flips a switch and goes from "Love this game and willing to do a review" to "I am going to flail and cry and try and crucify you"
He also "updated the story" a couple days ago to "prove" other people besides him are complaining...by posting a quote from someone else on the forum simply saying "Any news? Anxiousness is Mounting!"
sooo definitely grabbing at straws

I think it was less people not enjoying it and more people being extremely pissed about it being in such a buggy beta like state on release..
That was my opinion...I have always liked it...just irritates me when I drop $60 or whatever on a game and it's released in such a shoddy state
