If you have any questions about dragon commander, now is the time to post them on our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/dragoncommander. Farhang Namdar, Lead Designer, will try to answer them as best as he can.

If you don't have a facebook profile, I'll try to get your questions in, but we prefer that you use facebook to collect the questions.

I assume after the 'land ahoy' affair the team decided to have one final vision document review session?

We had a big one, yes

Well, I see others have already asked the questions I think are really important so I don't have to join Facebook right now. Huzzah.

So I'll ask a question I won't mind not getting an answer to:

Will Sentinel Island be in the game? And if yes, will controlling it confer some special magical bonuses upon your Dragon Knight or something along those lines?

Will there be a way to see Q&A sessions without having to log in to Face Book ?

If you just click http://www.facebook.com/dragoncommander and click close, you can read them without having a profile ?

Yes, I seem to be able to read it. Thank you.

When (noon,afternoon, evening or night ) will the "Answer" section start ?
And I suppose the Answers we can read on the Facebook page ?µ
Or also here on the forum ?

Thanks

Thank you !

Boo! Hiss!

Well, now that I know, at least I can stop obsessing about it.

Hmmm... if one of your held territories is in rebellion, do you need to keep units of your own army in that territory to keep them from turning hostile?

If it isn't in, I think that might be a neat idea to add consequences for your choices, annoy people too much and your effective army size is reduced because you need to use that to hold on to your own territory.


Also, will we be able to at least find recognizable territory on the world map? I want to know where Sentinel Island, Verdistis, and Aleroth are in relationship to the larger world.

I'm not sure if Verdistis and Aleroth existed back then.

You have a point on Verdistis, but Aleroth certainly did, as Maxos and others put a vault beneath it where they kept Behrlihn.

When Mardaneus founded the village of Aleroth the catacombs already existed. I don't recall the specifics about Behrlihn being locked in the vault, but there could have been several settlements on that spot at various times.

I'm not disappointed, let that be clear.
It's indeed bad we only can play with a male character, but I can understand the story can't make it with both genders and beside it's a nice case the "bad guy" is a female bad witch or something

I'm happy DC ask for making in beforehand strategical steps to survive battles more than 5 turns ... Luckely I still can make use of Rushing in via "Rush Attack!" in DKS

I'm on the moment totally not sure I can play DC because of money and upgrading pc or buying new one that can handle DC smooth enough .... probably I've to wait until Divnity: Original Sin is coming out on the market
I was thinking DC is fun to play on Xbox, but I understand DC will not come on any console ? Sadly, but yeah, what do I know about developing a game ?

Reading the answers after the Q & A round I'm not really "waiting" fro DC to buy it instandly ... Original Sin I can't wait for , but that's because I still love RPG genre more that TBS or RTS, although I play now and then strategy games.

Good luck on developing Dragon Commander !

And if DC contains "TONS of Humour" I'm probably IN for this game only to buy it because of funny humour !!

Is this a Realtime strategy game or a realtime Tactics game .

Yes, BUT with some RPG influences/features ... but I still wonder which one

It has a turnbased strategic map, on which you make your choices to build units, reinforce countries or attack enemy countries.

Then, when going to actual combat, it's real time strategy as you know it from other RTS games (controlling units and your dragon).

I thought something was "mentioned" in the past about "RPG features" in Dragon Commander, not ?

The RPG part is done on the raven (your capital ship), where you interact with your crew. You make decisions there that influence the people in your countries, your army, your princess, generals, etc...

This part of the game goes very deep, as the characters all have story archs that you can complete, depending on the choices that you make.

Thanks
That sounds very good ! And mixing this all with "tons of humour", like the Larians always did so far & do it very well

So I really HOPE "Humour" is insight dialogs, situations, etc etc ... included ... because that make it so fun to play !

Without the aspect "humour" I do NOT buy & play DC !! Is that clear ?!?

How many different generals and advisers are there? one per race or more?

... What I don't quite understand : Have I understood this right that floating enemy bases are no more within the game ? Where are their commanders, then ?

I think they meant there will be no more aerial base-building. I'm assuming the enemy commander will have their own Raven-like airbase.

Okay, I do hope so, at least.

And horray for that, because building floating rocks in the sky, EXPANDING the area of the floating rocks, then using that to mine for gold makes no sense.

Will Dragon Commander contain a copy of Larian's very first RTS game?

IIRC years ago Lar said they considered releasing L.E.D. Wars as freeware, but recompiling the game (ie without the copy protection) gave too many errors, due to differences between the compilers used. Maybe as a bonus with D:DC Larian might be able to justify more time getting it working than if it were just a promotional freebie, but I don't know how many people would still play it given the chance. The game has been mention in the forum, but actual gameplay has only come up a couple times: The LED Wars.

Then perhaps they should consider to give the source code to the community? Plus a reward for the first hacker that can get it working DRM free of course

So in combat it's more base building to create unite for defense or attack?

Or do you start with a fixed set of units (with the occasional reinforcements from a base or card) and you have to manage with that?

or a mix

The units on the map translate to the (starting) units in combat. Then you have several options in combat to gain units/structures. But we can't go into too much detail about that yet.

When will we start to see some new vidoes about Dragon Commander?

WoW Octaaf Fieremans in the interview with gamescope.ru
on (IgroMir Game Expo 2012) (4-7 October) said MAXOS will make his apperance!

What do you think?

QA-Man spilled the beans! Bad QA-Man!

Maxos ?
Maxos.
MAXOS ?!
Maxos Maxos Maxos Maxooos!

If you say it like that in front of a mirror, Amdusias appears and slits your throat ...

You lie. I tried it. Nothing happened.

You’ve got balls, ForkTong, I’ll give you that!

Pfft. Amdusias. Isn't that the guy who wasn't cool enough to become a Dragon Knight?

Wasn't that fixed in patch :

Fix: the game no longer freezes during the Sassan summoning scene
Fix: NPC characters can no longer disappear
Fix: various cut-scene/dialog issues have been addressed
Fix: various story and gameplay/balancing issues have been addressed
Fix: no longer able to start a new game before the character model is loaded in
<b>Fix: Amdusias is no longer able to appear to slits your throat when you say it 3 times in front of a mirror</b>
Feature: by popular demand, a Nightmare difficulty mode has been added to provide players with the ultimate challenge!

IF your a real man your say Suge Knight three times in front of a mirror.

If you say that three times before a mirror,
Bellegar arrives and tries to cloud your mind wth his rhymes !

1. Will you be able to customize Raven? (I'll rephrase that) WHAT can we customize?
2. Will you be able to gather ambassadors in the bar and drink them under the table? (ALL OF THEM TOGETHER! LIKE A SIDE QUEST OR SOMETHING) I can see it! Lizard ambassador siting next to elf and insulting each other dwarf and undead arguing about what's more important RELIGION OR MONEY! e.t.c.
3. Will you meet other dragon's? (And i'm not asking about AURORA)
4. What colour is DC underwear?

Any info on specs, guys?
