[quote who="Twohawks" reply="7" id="2693151"] This concerns me greatly because I get immense slowdown when outside the cloth map as well, especially with larger cities on the map. for systems with lower end configurations I am not surprised that you may get issues wjem in 3d mode.. however i imagine when all the debugging code is removed it will smooth out some as well..

If these would be better signalized, it would be perfect. And to whom belongs a unit should be more obvious too. Agreed. There should be a banner or something similar to tell at a glance whose units are whose. TW is good at this, but I have to click things to even

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="47" id="2692778"] for a budget of 5 million dollars you really are effective thats why i love stardock. $5 million? I would love to have that kind of money to do a game. Elemental's budget is about half that and that includes the cost of developing its custom 3D engine.

[/quote] Resistance to elements/dmg types > magical resistance. ;) All damage types should have the corresponding resistance type. -> This would be the perfect system.

Enya? I am listening to this instead. :P

[quote who="Rincewind57" reply="30" id="2692217"]Will it be an awesome game? I think so. Does it have the marketing budget Or the mainstream appeal to be one of the best-sellers? No, i'm pretty confident it doesn't. Unfortunate but then one of the reasons i love SD is that they'll happily crank out awesome games despite them not being dumbed-down to suit absolutely everybody. [/quote] It has nothing to do with the budget at all. It's the genre of the game. -> T

[quote who="Dale_" reply="26" id="2692198"]I really do wish Stardock well with Elemental, but the game won't be a "hit" at the level of a top-selling game for some very important reasons. Take the Elemental trailer someone linked to up above. It's been on YouTube for almost two years and only had nine and a half thousand views. Popular game trailers get that in a day. Do a search on Google first for Elemental war of magic, and then Starcraft II. Note th

I noticed that Russian devs are making very good looking & well designed game UIs in most of the cases. [PS. Fantasy Wars is a very good tactical game. It's like the 2010 version of Fantasy General.]

[quote quoting="post"]Sorry we’ve not been posting as much. Things are moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up. Some highlights of work this week: Performance is MASSIVELY better. Been doing a lot of focusing on stability. Been tightening up the game mechanics considerably and taking into account the many discussions here.
