I'll be happy to do whatever I can to help! EDIT: Have you heard back from Cari

Awesome! Spartan , you're my hero. [e digicons]:inlove:[/e]

What Ron said. While I'm sure Stardock is shooting for that release date, it's entirely possible -- if not probable -- that it could be pushed back a few days/weeks.

Actually, Brad Wardell ( Frogboy ) says what happend right here in the recent Gamasutra preview : "Some years ago, Atari approached us because we had talked about doing a fantasy strategy [game]," Wardell recalled. "We made an agreement, then their legal people killed the deal in terms of everything that was required." "They wanted to own everything w

I actually already caught this one yesterday. Some very good stuff. I've yet hear a single thing about this game that doesn't make me salivate with anticipation. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] (Yay, the smilies are working again!)

This just sounds better and better all the time. I'm very happy to hear it confirmed that we can in fact found new cities. My inner SimCity geek chortles with glee! :D

Cool. :) One question I have, though: Will we actually be able to build *new* towns, or can we only improve existing ones?

How on earth did you manage to figure out the translation? Is might as well be Greek to me. (Actually, it looks rather Dwarven, but you know what I mean.)

So exactly what kind of diplomatic options will we have, anyway? Are they going to be anything like what's in GalCiv 2?

While I'm not fond of the game overall, one feature from Rome Total War that I've always liked was that lowly Captains (who had no special abilities or attributes) could -- after winning a few battles -- sometimes be promoted to General and join your faction's family. I would love to see something like this in Elemental. For example, perhaps a basic infantry unit leading a small army might accru enough battle experience that eventually he "transforms" into a

I just had to say I love the runes around the edges of (what I'm guessing is) the box cover art. Very cool; nice touch. :) (Who did them, by the way?)

[quote who="GeneralEtrius" reply="23" id="1925921"]This game looks like crap. Fantasy is really been-there-done-that. [/quote] Thank you for your constructive comments. Truly, it is an in-depth and well thought-out critique. [quote who="GeneralEtrius" reply="23" id="1925921"]What a way to mess with success, Stardock. Why no Galciv III? Why?[/quote] Because a lot of people want an open-world 4x game set in a fantasy setting, of which there are

I'm a lot less concerned with how a game looks than how it *plays*. So long as the graphics are at least functional and I can make out everything reasonably well, anything else (visual-wise) is just gravy. Also, I'm loving the size of the game world. That map looks freakin' huge! Can't wait to play this game. Everything about it sounds totally sweet. :)
