In terms of the realtime strategy genre, I think Stainless is a little bit guilty, as well as the rest of the industry, of not pushing the envelope enough or not pushing for new, innovative ideas to keep things fresh.
It's hardly a newsflash. The traditional RTS lost its vigour years ago, and has been surviving on goodwill and incremental advances ever since - but it's not the sort of thing you're supposed to admit when you're one of the top RTS designers in the business. We're talking of course to Rick Goodman, boss of Stainless Steel Studios, and the reason he can talk so candidly is that he thinks his new game may be about to break the curse.
What we came up with was a third-person mode that enables you to become a famous historical hero and play the battle from a perspective you haven't seen in a historical RTS.
The game is still an RTS at heart, identical at a glance to any number of similar efforts other than being prettier of course. You've got large land battles with formation fighting and grand castle assaults, realistic naval combat with boarding and ramming, peasants to mine gold and chop trees, bases to build and defend.
But you can also switch to a very action-oriented mode akin to a third-person hack n' slash. What we really wanted to do was reinvigorate the RTS gamer, says Goodman. We didn't want to alienate any of the existing fans, but we did want to give them interludes where they could jump on to the battlefield and take part in the game like an action-shooter.
Apart from causing much merry mayhem, the hero mode is also a hugely potent tool. Whether you're playing as Julius Caesar or Ramses The Great or one of the six other heroes , you can cut a swathe through virtually any enemy formation, felling scores of foes, taking down siege weapons and calling upon some pretty momentous special powers. Needless to say, there's a price for all this. Not only do you leave the fate of your troops in the hands of the Al which is competent but clearly not as smart as you , but you can quickly exhaust your hero's stamina, rendering him or her inoperative for a period.
Heroes also need to be levelled up before they become true super-weapons, a process that's tied fundamentally to your progress within the game. Goodman explains: The hero has five or six levels you can achieve, and each level of your hero unlocks new upgrades and abilities. So, rather than being age-based, your progress in the game is hero-based. Now, rather than having traditional technology nodes, we have advisors that become available for you to hire, in a way not dissimilar to a tech tree.
As we understand it, advisors are a way of putting a face to the various abilities you gain in the course of the game. So, when your hero goes up a level, you get a choice of new advisors, each of which comes with a special ability. Advisors stay with you from scenario to scenario, so you build up a whole bank of them through the campaign, including architects, historians, scribes and rat catchers - less vermin means happier citizens, don't you know. To level up your hero and progress in the game, you need to accumulate glory, a new resource gained by building cities, conquering territories and so forth.
As you accumulate more glory, you can decide how you want to spend it' and as Goodman explains, there's more than a little strategy to this. The first thing you have to decide is whether you want to devote your attention and resources to RTS mode or to your super-weapon - your heroic character. If you're more of a traditional RTS fan, you'll be able to spend your glory on unlocking better advisors and upgrades. If you enjoy the more visceral action, you can spend your excess glory on propelling your hero to higher levels, choosing not to unlock some of the RTS elements that come with it.
That gives you more time in hero command mode and more special abilities for your hero. Special abilities are one of the more interesting aspects of hero command. Unfortunately, the installer you linked doesn't seem to function.
Here is the error message I get: The downloaded copy of Rise and Fall; Civilizations at War is not valid and can not be installed. Please try installing again. Installing again doesn't change anything. I also tried downloading the archive with your provided link, and the installer doesn't recognize that I have it in the same folder.
On top of that, I tried placing the archive into the temp folder that the installer creates it creates the folder before it attempts to download anything , but it just gets deleted before the installer downloads and fails to install again.
Simply extracting the game files and running the. The online installer you posted on SF fails at the download step with the same error I've previously explained. Is it necessary for online use of your game files say I wanted to set this up Hamachi or something , or is it meant to be used with the multiplayer standalone that can be downloaded from moddb?
Once again, thanks for the effort you've put into getting this title up and running on modern pcs. Another problem - unzipping. It tells me, I haven't enough storage. But, I do. I got around 70 GB free space.
The game should need something between 2 and 3 GB. I was just looking for something like that, 'cause of this error. I'll try. Game 1 point. Pipinghot 0 point. Read good things about this game but didn't find a good installer that would work for me until yours.
TAMER 0 point. If you do that, the installer will extract the game's files straight from the archive and won't need to download anything. My installer has the following advantages: - Installer is compatible with Windows XP and up including Windows 10 - Game has been patched to bypass the requirement for a connection to an ad server fixes the "You have no internet access" error when trying to run the game - Packaged to use a PortableApps.
This means that all the game's settings and save games are stored in one place, you can store the game on removable storage with your settings and saves also being stored on it and the game doesn't store anything in the registry or outside the game's folder when it isn't running. Yeah, tells me I can't play because I need to be connected to the internet I am connected.
