The buildings you build on the resources sound good. Governors....Don't like this. Sounds like something boring I as a min-maxer would feel forced to micromanage to get best results of and that's just NO! Add in that they can die so the dynastysystem kicks in....no....don't like it....and don't forget that I WILL game the system so better implement something that isn't exploitable [e digicons];)[/e] assassinate gov
[quote who="Skvader" reply="21" id="2545410"] Exactly - I've been playing Age of Wonders Shadow Magic lately, and this is the exact problem it has. In AoW SW, one can beat an army even three to four times larger than yours with proper spell/abilitiy usage and clever fighting and tactics, especially if you're defending a well-fortified city (it's still possible to beat overwhelming odds outside of a city, it's just a lot more work). This is never possible with autoresolve (rightly).
Sounds great.
....I need to stop reading all comments because those I don't like just work me up.... Some things need to be stated right away: If a university produces 2 research points/turn then I DON'T want to keep track of having enough population to "make use" (lol....) of those universities. They're just some friggin buildings that give researchpoints! Realism is a nice thing but absolutely non-essential. [quote] by BoogieBac: Perhaps that's just me t
[quote who="Demiansky" reply="21" id="2541587"] The story, though, is unfortunately, not very moving. Sure, it's enough to keep me interested and make a worthwhile setting but not exactly earth shattering in the grand scale of fantasy narratives. 1) It's about on par with Warcraft's backstory. Could be better. Someday, I hope to see someone step forward and posit a story and setting as original as 2) The Logic
Looks great.
Nice pics! I like them! :) Like one guy on the 1st page said: Wizard Warrior Paladin (Though they look feminine and weak) Dwarves Rangers/Elves (treehugging pansies.... [e digicons]
Dethadder I'm pretty certain they had to build a completely new engine and like Brad says, that takes alot of time. Then they messed around with alot of unitdesigns. They scrapped some, changed some and completely overhauled some (I've followed it since the announcement in May 2007) and some they messed around with for a long time before scrapping. And they're still not done! The Zerg Lurker isn'
The second coming is upon us! The PCgaming world will never be the same again! [e digicons]:(O[/e] Music is good. Nice and relaxed. Sound effects are good (voices are really good!) Gameplay is fast and furios and combatmicromanagement is rewarded so nothing for slowheads. Every race have a unique macromanagement mechanic that gives benefits if used (and is necessary for keeping up with a good player.) Here's a stream: http://www.livestrea
About the past being to the left and the future to the right, seems I missed that memo. I prefer the original design where he looks to the left.

[quote who="Fenrus Starwind" reply="12" id="2536644"]Please tell me that you guys realize that he's talking about the LORE (aka World) of Elemental, and not some vague, obscure reference to an MMO...

Never heard about that site. Indepth article though.

[quote who="Myles" reply="14" id="2536665"] Faction is whether they pratice life magic or death magic, while race is what actual species they are. There are only 2 factions, but 10 races.[/quote] No, a faction is another name for "playable side". Like Human in WarCraft III or Norse in Age of Mythology. [quote who="Frogboy"] Elemental has 10 default factions There are 5 races of “Men” and 5 races of “Fallen&rd
I like it, but something cooler would maybe be better. Are there really people who buy games based on boxart..? I have NEVER done that! Not even when I were a kid with NES & SNES! I ALWAYS looked up all the games before buying (I'd be an idiot not to since they were helluva expensive!)
Broken links: Umberdroth, Daemon and Dire Wolf. Just mouseover the pics and you'll understand. I really like'em. Great stuff! How do you pronounce Daemon btw? I pronounce it as Theymon. Demon on the other hand I've alwyas pronounced as Deemon.
The lore seems really interesting. A female sovereign! I hoped for a few :)
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="20" id="2533254"] Thoumsin, if I understand you both correctly, normal desktops don't have any use at the moment of more than 2gb of free ram available? What about getting the latest graphic cards? Does a new model by Radeon or Nvdia really improves the performance of Sins compared to a model that is let's say 2 years old? Your video card has nothing to do with how much memory the game can address. A 32-bit Windows program can only address 2GB. [/quo
Ironman mode in Diablo II LoD f.e. is a good thing since otherwise me and many other would wuss out and just save all the time. And restraining myself from saving is not an acceptable solution since we play by the rules but stretch them as far as we can.

Your idea has merit, but it depends on the spellcasting design Stardock intends. Wizard towers of Age of Wonders Shadow Magic or increasing cost a la Master of Magic.

[quote who="Cerevox" reply="38" id="2532650"]Even for a powerful artificer, churning out lots of cursed items strong enough to harm a hero and evade detection would be too hard. I was thinking that perhaps it could be more targeted. Make a single powerful cursed item and spell it to seek out a single powerful hero, kind of like the One Ring. It can manipulate any stupid neutral creature it encounters like trolls or goblins or whatever into moving it closer to its target. Kind of like a magica
