[quote who="Frogboy" reply="34" id="2645726"]We're staging a candidate now to test this evening. The pacing, imho, is the most significant issue I am having with it and I think it will require some additional game mechanics/features. I also think the map needs more strategic elements and that we need to get the HUD in. But I would like to see what others have to say before proposing specific solutions. [/quote] Out of curiosity what are the "pacing" is

[quote who="Strumpetplaya" reply="12" id="2642407"]Most games also show you where your unit will go and the path they will take before you actually give the command to move. I have seen games with at least a partial undo feature. One that comes to mind is Battle for Wesnoth. With Fog of War off you can undo pretty much any movement command(though not combat). With Fog of War on, you can only undo movement commands that did not reveal any of the f

What is your (practical) target for Elemental? 7? Going to hit an 8 before you're happy to release it to the wild? A 10 is probably unreasonable for any game of course, but I'm curious with your "scores" being so low (and thus you being probably overly hard on yourself) what you wanted to achieve here.

AI development sounds crazy hard, kudos for not taking the easy route - hopefully we'll end up with a satisfying single player experience, and a challenge when playing with friends and AI "bots" are present! I do wonder, though, can I design a custom race and have the AI use that race? If so, will the AI be able to use the custom settings I've set up intelligently, or will AI players always use only the stock factions/races?

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="9" id="2640168"] Quoting StarCruzr, reply 8 Hmm. I was looking forward to Elemental, but I have to say, these two videos left me thoroughly unimpressed. I know it's not the end product and that not everything that's going to be in the game has been shown, but still - what I saw I didn't particularly like. Maybe it is time to re-evaluate my purchase decision. Well, what didn't you like? [/quote]</p

Yeah, I don't know what the deal is with this - did Shack drop the ball and put the wrong video up? No one seems to have this fabled "part 2" but I believe Brad even mentions some of what happens during this video in the interview? Baffling.

Confused - on the ShackNews videos they say there is a two part video, but part one seems to end with Brad saying he'll resume the video in a bit after he's further in the game, and then part two is another video he put up a few days ago detailing the same map in the opening part of the game again - did Shack put up the wrong video, or is the actual video where Brad shows off some more of the "mid game" still coming?
