To add to my own idea. It could be cool to deciede that my army will stick to chain mail and techs that improves chain mail, instead of reequipping new stuff like plate mail and later mithrill. This should have an advantage and a cost to it (or the choice would be obvious). Advantage: All units are always equipped with good, but not great armor. Saves cost on reequipping. Disadvantage: Down the line your opponents will have armies, or part of armies with better

I just thought of an idea (that you ppl will kill, but thats the idea). How about having some techs that influences your army directly/immediately, and some techs that will only help future builds. Examples: Somewhere up in the tech tree you will have: 1. Improved defensive Plate Armor fighting. Gives -1 movement to unit with Plate Armor instead of -2. This will help all your units with Plate Armor 2. Mithrill Armor. New defensive equipment that

I guess that this means that we might not have a patch next thursday either. No worries, as long as we believe that you are working full speed :)

This track idea is very compelling, but my guess is that if you present this to the programmers of Elemental they will have your hide. Can you imagine all the computing power and programming needed to compute and save data on all movements on all tiles during a full game? And then based on this draw tracks and give upgrade to speed. If a large army makes tracks on one pass, then most of the map would be tracked pretty fast. Your other ideas are interesting :)

No no no - you are on the wrong path people :) Dont join the dark side... These odds cannot be calculated. They can in CIV IV cause its all based on known values, but not in Elemental. If we are going to control our army in any way during the battle (think Heroes of Might and Magic or even as a little RTS game) then its not possible to calculate. A good player will always have better odds than som calculation based on AI settings. A scout skill that reveal the n

If not I would like to know how you are allowed to do this (I am not as you might guess :( )

Might and Magic VI - just pulled me in

Total Annihilation - noone else gets close 3D environment in 1997 - build ques, order ques +++ the game was ages before anyone, and its yet to be surpassed

I guess this is to be expected at this stage. They are working hard on eliminating crashes, the economic system, the 3D engine+++ We just have to be patient, discuss concepts with the frog and report errors repeatedly. This wasnt supposed to be fun yet :)

On impulse the game is about 300 NOK (norwegian kroner), in the shops here its 400 NOK. Since impulse Dragon Age is North America only, i cannot get it on impulse. But I sure aint paying 33% extra for it either. I might buy it when I buy a new rig in the spring.

[quote who="Jack Trowell" reply="54" id="2434153"]Try Dominions 3[/quote] Overly complex for a man in my position (2 children - one of them an infant) :) To be more serious, I did have a look at Dominions 2 and found it rather overwhelming. I like complex games, but I want them to guide me into the complexity (CIV IV does this rather well).

I like this if it comes at a cost. In addition to normal essense cost (or whatever the city cost is today) you could pay a certain amount of gold/resources to make a city with some prebuilt infrastructure. It would also be nice if such a city got a head start by moving 2% of your total population to it. Other cities would contribute with some of their people to give the new city a booming start.

[quote quoting="post"] you can still pick up Dragon Age on Impulse. [/quote] As long as you are american...

Thanks for the review - I will get this when I buy a new rig sometime in the spring or late winter

I'm being told that my serial number isn't valid even though its showing up in my games list. It won't download. I saw on the DA:O forums a lot of people who bought it through a third party download service are having issues. That's gotta suck. It could be sever server stress too though. I had a problem getting my Stone Prisoner Add-on to work. It kept telling me

May I add Battle Isle :)

Just have it by release of Elemental!

[quote who="VicenteC" reply="11" id="2429441"] Quoting joasoze, reply 6 I live in Norway and the shops will mostly have 100 copies of Wow and 3 other games on the shelves. Not expecting this game here anytime soon. Not a big fan of steam. If I buy a boxed version of Empire Total War (its actually in the shop), then I still need a steam account before playing the game. Go figure. My firend had his Half Life experience ruined by forced install of a patch that broke his game

[quote who="inerz" reply="45" id="2429189"]fair enough i guess why i went all rabid over it, is when i first read about supcom, everything in it screamed max remake, which made me very happy. i then played the game and was very disappointed. my main prob was total lack of ingame feedback/info. which units do how much damage vs what other units etc. nothing like that. just your uberxyz1 vs uberxyz2 and theyre both pretty damn uber vs xyz3. btw. max is qu

Some of us "old timers" even go to these things called Stores where we put down *gasp* physical money for a pre=order of a game we wanted.

The devs have stated this many times. If we start to discuss which of the two games (TA and m.a.x.) that are the best then we will just end up agreeing to disagree I guess.

I found that it is on Steam. No buy for me then :(

Doesnt seem to be on the coming soon list of either Impulse, Gamersgate or Gamesplanet :(
