We will see a Lilarcor sword.

Mainstream games are being made for reviewers to get high scores more than actual gamers today.

Having roads from the start make the world interesting????? I do not understand this at all.Very strange statement.

I got two orders of the collectors edition games in the expensive UK post.Are Stardock doing a fiddle?

Some say it's the LOTR for this generation.

It is not the unit count that makes it look not epic but the lack of numbers in each unit.It is like you are controlling the Frodo instead of Gondor.

You can not beat a good box.

AOW a 4x empire builder like CIV,MOM,Elemental? I think not sir.

[quote who="Raven X" reply="67" id="2715661"] Those kinds of numbers on screen are still "feasible" according to Frogboy but only on the largest/biggest maps. At least that's what was said a while back. Whether or not that's Still accurate I'm not completely sure. [/quote] I call them bullshit mock up screenshots.

The tactical battles from a visual standpoint look like a DragonAge skirmish and not a war between Empires,very weak stuff. What happened to this?

I liked it but I think the Prestige and Dark Knight are better Nolan films.

My initial impression of tactical battles is not good at all,and not only from a visual standpoint.

I sure hope tactical combat looks much more epic than that screenshot suggests.

Bioware are the best in the RPG genre by a mile.

Great.Reminds me a bit like Birth of the Federation minors.

A living world +1

Scale units looks much better in my view.

How does one know it is like crack unless.....

In RPG tradition you should be a nuker end game.

Kumquat is one uncool sounding engine name.

One has to be concerned about the tactical combat.The issues are Stardock have no experience in making games with tactical battles and they are going to be added in just a few months before the game is shipped. I expect a very simple tactical battle system in Elemental.Do not expect MOM,MOO2 depth.

I vote for fleshing out the game lore and factions.The greatest strategy games all have this immersion and it is part of why they are great.

Honestly if this game ships with no lore or developed factions I sence a huge fail.I have already paid but in hindsight I would not have if this is the case.

I think this is a terrible idea.I want fully fleshed out lore and factions.

I would rather live in uranus.[e digicons]:grin:[/e]
