I think that there should be a banner creation tool so we can create them in game included in the create a faction workshop. Having a bunch of pre made symbols, shapes, etc..., would really help those of us that want a custom banner in a easy to use toolset. Im sure for many it would be just as easy to load an image, but the people who don't want to mess with XML are the same ones that might not want to find/draw one and add it to the game files. Perhaps even giving minor bonuses

I looks so unnatural in an otherwise natural feeling map. The way every peasant in their hut moves exactly the same and in perfect sync, or the way spiders march in perfect square formation. Not sure if theres a way to de synchronize but i think it would add to the charm and make the visuals more believable.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick response.

So as far as custom factions go, in order to create them we need to use xml? I searched the forums but couldn't find anything official. Perhaps Frogboy can shed some light on the subject?

I just updated and I can't find the create a faction button. I tried search, but nothing came up that gives a hint as to where it is. Has it been removed for beta3b?

Will Beta 2 include tactical battles? I know that betas 2 and 3 were melded together and I believe beta 3 was going to introduce tactical battles...does this mean its found its way to beta 2 which we will be receiving soon?

Im in the randomly generated maps camp. Adds to the complexity of the game.

Giovionni!

I'm in favor of a more generic term for currency. Gold,piece, or gold pieces are fine IMO.

I think a cool idea for a victory condition would be to complete a luxurious palace. Pieces and artifacts can be spread throughout the map that can be used to complete the palace. Just a thought.

Same problem for me. :(

My wife likes Tropico...give that one a try.

Does it offer anything more than Dyson? Aside from more levels, of course...

Good discussion. Thanks, guys! Also, thanks for the update Boogie!

Ok, long time lurker, first time poster... I know that Elemental will be incredibly moddable, but I think it would be cool if the game had a feature where you customize your own coat of arms using premade emblems (similar to the troop designer) that actually have a small impact on the gameplay. For instance, maybe you create a coat of arms (using premade emblems and logos) with an eagle. Putting an eagle on your coat of arms gives your troops +1 attack power. Or ma
