What is that over there look!

Its a *BUMP*~!

*bump* *wave* *kick*

Please sticky this, or if a Moderator could make the thread itself that would be great. I'll be adding some stuff over the week but we could use more people adding info for this Wiki and being stickied would greatly help draw people over.

The last thread was in the Elemental Beta sub forums which doesn't exist anymore, so people don't even know about this URL. Thank you.

I've linked this wiki from the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental:_War_of_Magic

If you see a way to improve that article as well, please do - just remember to provide references!

I recall another wiki existing before.   I (or somebody) should likely check on that and get them all roped together.

You might want to hold off on the "Details", I.E. how much Ap something uses to do, how much damage something has, monster stats, until after the patches slow down a bit. They're still going to be making some "balance passes" and probably will be for another week or two.

It's definitely a great idea and should be done. I just think it would be a shame for you to do all that now and then have to go back and re-edit everything to make it correct when things get re-balanced. It's up to you how you do it, just don't want to see it be wrong later is all. Perhaps you could list everything and just leave out the Dmg and Def stats or list the monsters but leave off their def and Atk ratings for a week or two and go back and put them in when we know the numbers are more "final". It's up to you though, my friend. Great work either way .

Ah good job on doing those pages my friend, I gotta say I also think working on the Wiki is sort of fun! As for your question regading Wikidot or Wikia, I'm not the correct person to ask since I'm just helping out with the site Sycraft created some time ago.

As for the talk pages, do you mean comment boxs? I'm no master of working with a Wiki (this is first time I've used) but I believe I saw that adding comment boxes for users is possible. If you go to Help and look for Wiki Syntax you can find all the things you can add into pages, its very detailed and I've used it a bunch of times.

Once again gj man, couple more people that can contribute information and this Wiki will be full of information in no time

I could tell you a long, long story about Wikia. I was involved with them before most of their staff.

Things have changed a lot since I started my first wiki there, and I can no longer recommend them for most people.

You might, but I don't! Besides, I've written it up already. Read these:

Basically, the cost of "free" can be high. Sometimes it's too high.

I chose Wikidot because I liked their layout better and I am not a fan of Wikia's advertising. Wikidot does do ads on a free site, but I decided to pay, at least for now. It isn't that much. In the future I'll see what happens. The upgrade expires next month and I'll go ahead and renew it for another year (it is $50). Depending on if it is seeing use I may continue, or I may not. Also if Stardock wants to own it directly I'l probalby hand it over to them.

As for a talk page do you think it would be useful? I didn't want to bother with the configuration if people were mostly just going to discuss on the official forums.

You don't know what you don't know! That's why it's called "research."

I posted a draft of the Empire tech trees today.
