I like the idea of a "gaurdian". This reminds me of Master of Orion 2 where most of the Largest/best planets were gaurded by huge space creatures that you had to kill before you could colonize said planet. This would make it very difficult to get those planets until around mid game when you had the technology to defeat them. --For Elemental they could also add in an additional angle. You can either kill the guardian...or convince him to join your army!!!

This sounds awsome, but, not to be a negative nancy....I really can't imagine how were each part of each soldier is effected individually is going to run on anything but top end machines...I imagine that is soooo much processing power.

*Warning* very long post, thanks for reading if you have the patience. Ok, this is something that has always bothered me. In every 4X or empire building strategy I've played to date, they have had one terrible flaw. None of them have modeled rebellion or revolution in a close to acurate way. I have yet to play a game where civil war was something you actually have to worry about. It seems so strange to me that such a large part of human history has been largely ignored by such a game

I like the idea, but snake mounts sound particularly impracticle. -If there are flying units in the game they probly will be limited as to prevent abuse.

You guys are fogetting one important factor...Is the battle IN SPACE!!!!!

yes, that is something I would like to know. Are the mounts aesthetic only (other than a speed and charge bonus) or do they have different stats. I really hope they have different stats that make different mounts better at doing certain things (for example normal horses would be faster than bears, but bears pack a much more damaging attack and have a larger effect on morale). I presume you could set/effect these stats when creating custom mount trypes as well.

LoL, that "Drow" looks more like black jesus or something

In the latest journal entry (Are you Human? Are you sure?) it said this I expect the first version of this to be included with Beta 1 of Elemental (i.e. this isn't some "future" thing) which we expect will be out this Spring. Ok, I was wondering if this mean the beta has been moved up. Originally it was slated for June 09, but that is in the summer and not the spring. I was thinking that they might have moved it up because of the large int

I was considering trying this game out. Is there a digital distributer that sells it?

I asked a similar question here I've been having alot of fun with Fall from Heaven 2, so if you have Civ 4 I would go for it!

Indeed. The game migh have some sort of "Wall" tool were you use your Channeler and just sort of "paint" walls were ever(assuming you have the stone required to do so). I also hope they add in techs for stronger walls.

I'm also curious about whether walls are going to take up a building space. I would guess yes, as this would force you to choose between sacrificing some of a tiles utility or leaving it defenseless. This would also encourage the player to take the terrain into consideration much more when expand their city, as a properly placed tile facing a river for example would not need to have a wall (since the terrain is providing protection). But this would also open up that tile to amphibious assault

Based on the screenshots I would have to quess the actual name of "the kingdom" is The Kingdom of Fairview, but that could just be a coincidence, or the name of a diffefernt faction.

LoL, if you had spread you essence out enough you might be ok, but then again that might be why you died in the first place!

I think someone in Stardock should sticky this for real, or Make their own sticky post with the link to the search engine.

Hmm, this is a good point, but I imagine the will have full random maps, I think It will radomly generate the layout of the map, and then use some sort of algorithm that generates the "zoomed out view". This is completely a guess though. What I want to know about the maps is this. In one of the inteviews it was said that you would be able to select a lake or mountain range and name it whatever you want. I want to know if you will have to name everything, or if the map will randomly na

Well I'm not %100 sure, but I think Stardock plans to make the game as moddable as possile. Besides that the game will have alot of user created connent that can be semlessly or selectivly shared/downloaded (a la Spore). I think this is what you mean by "uploadable content", but I figured I would clarify anyway.--but yes Stardock has stated the game will have extensive mod support.

I hope they put in super events like GalCiv2 has..though Im not a huge fan of instability with events.

Awsome, good work [e digicons]k1[/e] . Stardock should sticky this, as it will become very useful around the time when beta starts!

Indeed, I hope they add in more factions, though I'm not sure how they would fit into the story line. QAI might create his own "All Robotic" faction or something like that. The would be pretty cool, and it would make since because QAI would have alot of room to expand and everything since man kind is scattered and shell shocked after forged alliance!

[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="8" id="1941114"]Fall from heaven 1 is in the mods of beyond the sword. It's a really interesting mod because it has a story. In fact it's more a tutorial to fall from heaven 2. But no replay value I think. Fall from heaven 2 is really really close to master of magic (minus the items, which can't be forged)[/quote] Oh ok, cool. Ya I've been playing FH2 for about 2 hours now and it's pretty cool! It's taking awhile to get used to but so far i

Do you mean I should play fall from heaven 1 first? What do mean by second version? Also while were on the topic, does anyone know of a good Warhammer mod of Civ4?

Awesome. I wonder how powerful you can make these "enchanted armories". I'm feeling some +10 plate mail!! -also I was wondering if you can enchant an armory of other building in a different way...as in, could you enchant it and make it produce faster or something like that?

I am curious If the game was going to have a specific campain like GalCiv? I would assume it would since the game is planed to be a franchise. If so I was hoping stardock might give up some details about it [e digicons]O:)[/e] . Will the campaign follow the story of a specific channeler/factions? What are some of the goals of the campain. It's also possible that since each channeler has his own specifc quest that hes on (acording to gamespot interview) that the normal random maps are going t
