What do you mean, you talk about these parking site (that register tons of domain names to re-sell them after) ? What's funny is to see that if you try to search for a domain availability several times, a week later domain name isn't available anymore...what a surprise.. NOT ! :-/
Nope they didn't so far but thanks to their highres poster you can still get nice elements, like Luckmann and Spartan used on the avatars, or details I put of the .info website.
Yeah domain name I picked isn't the most appropriate, "War of Magic" looks way better but only the .info is available so far hmm... Anyway the domain name isn't maybe the most important stuff, once community will be used to it, it will be in everyone's bookmarks. However asking authorization to Stardock for using official pictures and design for a fansite is a need (not only legally but also about being polite) , even if I don't think that any game dev refused it in the past. And I di
[quote who="Feet" reply="19" id="1943004"]Ah well, I apologise for sticking my nose in and creating any tension. My bad. It wasn't my place to make a comment like that when I don't know either of you. I'll leave it to you guys to sort out the fansites, but I'm sure the enthusiasm we all share for Elemental can be common ground. [/quote] Don't worry Feet, in fact it allowed us Spartan and me to write our feelings about it ! :) @Spartan: BTW buddy you prefe
[quote]Set yours up anyway. I'm sure his looks great (I haven't seen it tbh), but the difference is you came to the official forum community to help set it up and get people involved where as he's done it solo. So long as the site you create is equally as easy to use, and presented atleast as well, then a community is more likely to form around yours. He may have already completed his fansite (in just three days) but you have the commitment of people in the official community who a
Awesome Spartan ! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="2" id="1941837"] An option to also try to add a very powerful effect but with a random drawback would be nice too... Such as your mage tower exploding and taking a good chunk of the city with it? What you get for playing with powerful magical artifacts eh? [/quote] Naahh lol I was thinking about a malus, like hmm -1 movement point, or -1 defence bind to the item... etc ;)
Hmm I'd prefer not to pick relics else we'd always choose the most powerful ones... and it's cool sometimes to find something not as good as you expected ! :) I agree with you on the relic creation, forging items is something very exciting ! An option to also try to add a very powerful effect but with a random drawback would be nice too... Like trying to play with elements over our skills...
Yeah these games were awesome, I loved Dragonstrike, Eyes of the Beholder and Ravenloft... Damn it was looking better in my memories...
I'll preorder it when it will be possible directly by paypal and I won't mind to be charged before the beta since it would help the team...
Which Wiki do you think would be the more suitable Vandenburg ? I am creating a Elemental:WoM fansite and I could add a wiki to it. I am waiting for Frogboy answer about using original website design and once it is ok I will show you guys !
Nice one Spartan ! Congrats!
That's a nice idea Spartan, but maybe we should wait that the game gets more screenshots of teasers, else people might click then be disapointed that there's not a lot of stuff to see, I've read very harsh comments on various sites about the first elemental trailer for example. Just my two cents!
Hey Spartan, I am working on an Elemental fansite too, i'm still working on the code and design and i hope we will cooperate! :)
StoweMobile, will all due respect that I have for total war games (and i spent hundreds of hours on them and still love them) they should be renamed IA:Total Crap... on mini map and in combat AI is so lame, diplomacy and auto combat results... so I doubt that Stardock could do worse than them don't worry!
Thanks Annatar for the answer and the explanations. Too bad because i won't mind buying it right now with paypal :)
Hey I wanted to preorder the game but it seems it is not possible to pay by paypal... why not ? Also will we get coupons for people preordering the game years ago and belonging all the other stardock games (galciv, galciv 2, sins of a solar empire...)? [e digicons]:blush:[/e]
I'd prefer that, like in galciv, your civilization leans toward good or evil just because of your actions within the game, that which allow different bonuses and abilities at the end... Sure it could look weird to see "good orcs", and evil elves (well they aren't so nice anyway in most fantasy books but that's another story), but why not ? :)
You have a point there vieuxchat, with a pause it would be nice...
McFungos , sure it could be with mods but I prefer to play Vanilla games, since it is the way they were created and balanced, sometimes mods kill the game atmosphere [quote who="keithLamothe" reply="22" id="1939055"]Cervomix, there are 6 factions of each of the 2 races, so it's not that there's a lack of variety. A
I diskike the fact that there is only two races in the game... Even if the dev team doesn't want to make a clone of Master of Magic or other classic fantasy games, I suppose i'll not be the only one disapointed by this, I want to see Orcish cities, Elven, etc and units too... :/
Yep i'm for the strategic battles like Master of Magic or Age of wonders. Real time is more for casual gamers and we have enough casual games out there. :)
