The update published on December 8 claims that another game (I assume) has been announced for 2020. I added a citation request since I could not find anywhere else this was mentioned. Unsure of motive but this feels like a false claim, especially since no citation was originally provided.
You have to go through some odd steps to get this game to work on a 64-bit Windows system, but I've done it, and I can document it. Unfortunately, there's nowhere I can find, except my own head, where this information exists, or could exist, in any persistent manner. This leads me to Wikipedia, but I'm torn over whether such material is encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a tech support site, but there is nowhere to link the information that is more appropriate and can be retained indefinitely. Thoughts? -- 208.41.98.142 12:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
A link to a site that has the solution would be best. Because its a DOS game though, all you need to get it to work is DOSBox or another decent DOS emulator though. I run it with DOSBox on Vista with no problem. Finfyd 07:59, 12 January 2007 (UTC)Finfyd
Regarding the style police comments, I agree that the format could use some tweaking. I might take a stab at it when I get some time. Finfyd 08:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)Finfyd
I've started to break the article into more manageable parts and will continue tomorrow.-- Wilson 14:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC) ♦More progress,will need to rewrite some.-- Wilson 16:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
It has been broken up but beyond that I don't know how to fix.-- Wilson 14:38, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
One of the links led to a warez side. I'm not a registered user so I imagine it'll revert, but hopefully someone else will catch it. It was the free-games-net link. 129.1.208.161 Alex 7:04, 11 April 2007.
Tried to change the tone to be more in line with wikipedia policy. Minor edits, word changes, etc. Removed the banner. Should we add a section on "critical reception"? I also recall the game had a terrible marketing campaign, will try to find a link. -- Wilson ( talk) 14:49, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
"At any time when you are Regent you can declare yourself Emperor; however, once you do, you have to survive 10 turns while all the other houses try to eliminate you." After declaring emperor, there wasn't any special intervention though I was at war with all the houses. Also, although I played a single game so far, seemingly diplomacy (which seemed kinda flawed) couldn't assure the Regent position, while stealing the sceptors of Hazat was very easy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.118.183.1 ( talk) 16:00, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
I just want to point out that although the Reality mod sounds like a major improvement fluff-wise, the source used ( Fading Suns RPG material) is set in post-Emperor War times. As such, the Known Worlds doesn't look like it used to at the start of the Emperor Wars (which in FS RPG is set to the year 4964), and many of the upgrades (like Agoras on every world, House Li Halan owning Rampart, House Decados owning Malignatius, etc.) reflects a post-Emperor Wars situation rather than a pre-EW one. Again, I believe the update sounds really cool, but it is (IMHO) worth noting that from a FS RPG perspective, the EFS:Reality game starts with the outcome of the war. Perhaps this is a new interstellar conflict exploding accross the Known Worlds? Like, EWII or something? :) Vithar Alderland ( talk) 12:14, 29 May 2014 (UTC) (game developer for Fading Suns RPG).
