Still blind as baseball bats and your IQ's are dipping even futher. But, you'll just have to wait and see and when you start crying but, but, but, Brad you said. I'll be around to tell you "I told you so" ;)
Oh well it's a stupid move on their part if they implement that stupid rule like AOW did. If you notice there's no AOW III.
[quote]Take for example GalCiv 2's trio of offensive and defensive stats. [/quote] oh whew some big game changing feature lol and if you had read this line in my post: [quote]Oh sure you might hit on one or two things they will change based on beta feedback, but, not the core engine itself more than likely only a few lines of code and some stats for particular units or buildings.[/quote] If it's so
You're reading too many books again AIAndy. I said THE MOVIE didn't say anything about any books. Things change from books to movies in case you didn't know. ;)
If anything I would expect more of a rock, paper, scissors type of combat as a core feature.
The thing is the game will never be the game WE ALL WANT. There's too much diversity in opinions and wants here. I want this, another person wants that then the arguements ensue over why each others wants are stupid and redicuous and insane and blah blah blah just like every other game development forum out there. I will give most of you a little clue. The game core has already been built. The game DESIGN is already in place and when you start beta-ing all you are going to be abl
Lol they hate me on this board, so be careful who you call friend or they will turn on YOU and tell you that you are crazy, insane, delusional les see what else did I forget? Oh lots of really bad names. lol
Very good Boogiebac. ;) Just what I wanted to read. ;)
Remember in LotR the wizard MADE creatures from trees and mud and other magical ingredients. This could well be used for creating offspring for non-human types just like in the movie. So, it would be very easy for the eye to have offspring as it could make them from molten lava and pumice rocks in the mountain of doom. Throw in some spark from it's eye and wallah an offspring.
Yes that's the way I see it also CoffeeMonkey because the artical didn't say Immortal it said ETERNAL thus meaning forever an ever. So, as long as there is a part of his essence in some or one of his offspring then yes he continues on an on an on until his entire kingdom is destroyed or the game reaches that critical mass % ownage of the map that's going to be part of the game or the one most powerful spell being cast like Master of Magic. To me the soveriegn can only be displaced he cannot b
[quote who="KellenDunk" reply="28" id="2352686"]I don't expect this one aspect of diplomacy to become the entire game. This discussion leads me to believe others think it will. [/quote] That's because most others on this forum think one diminsional in every catagory of thought. Just overlook it it of course won't be the entire game of course.
Keep it simple stupid is the motto for great games. MOM had this same feature along with a magic resistance stat and it worked perfectly and nobody complained and the majority of gamers still hold it in highest esteem as the fantasy game all other fantasy designers should look to when making a fantasy wargame.
[quote]That is indeed me, my friend.[/quote] You see boys & girls I have a FRIEND.....choke on it! hahahah
Oh Yarlen will you please curb these children afterall you did tell THEM to stop with the PERSONAL INSULTS now didn't you? ;)
Yeah ok Yarlen I'm sorry. But, some of these F.... grrrrrr just don't have a clue. I hate one diminsional thinking in people. I'm sure you know a great developer thinks in more than one diminsion so I'm not too worried really about how the game is going to turn out in the challenge department. Just had to cool off from reading these Ch..... posts. ;)
The point being Scorp it has nothing to do with the damn book. Just like developers of a game the producers of the movie CHANGED and SURPRISED the people with these out of nowhere changes to excite and entensify the part of the movie where these events happen. It's was a DESIGNED DECISION to put those in the MOVIE just like in a GAME. If you can even comprehend the concept and that there are 1000's of ideas how to make a movie just as there are to make a game. As I said it's been done a lot i
[quote]That would make for an incredibly stupid and boring game imo.[/quote] That's because you and the others have incredibly stupid and boring minds and only think one diminsional. I think in 5th diminsions ;) I should have known better to even discuss the issue with morons. As you can see from earlier posts of mine and what Brad has told us I'm pretty much in sync with him now and you'll be SURPRISED at some of the SURPRISES in the game. Some of you ain't gonna like them but oh wel
Guess you guys didn't see Lord of the Rings when the undead come in to save the day vs the then WINNING side. The humans had no chance of victory, but, all of a sudden and how about that JUST LUCKY IN THE NICK OF TIME they appear on these black boats and kill everything in sight. lmao. I bet yall loved that part didn't you? Then at helms deep or was it Minas Tirith when it is about to fall and they ride out to glorious death oh my how about that JUST LUCKY IN THE NICK
Sorry I don't go for play on words pal and this is the biggest play on words I've ever seen. I've NEVER paid to play a BETA in 27 years. I've been a BETA tester for games since SSI days and I never had to paid a dime or put up a dime or any amount of monty to play a GD BETA edition. This is just a CHEAP ASS way to scam money out of kids who don't understand the policy or rules about BETA vs PRE-ORDERS.
[quote]Why bother explaining anything when you can just baselessly claim authority? [/quote] Exactly so why don't you just stfu and move on like a good lil boy. ;) [quote]Hell, CA games do that already with magical materialising rebel armies (that would take the player many turns to recruit) teleporting down from the Freedom Star. How FUN that is![/quote] And if you had read my post you would have seen I metioned that little fact about Medieval Total War. Obvious
Wow that Pnakotus is a real puss worse than me. ;)
Hah Hah way to go Stardock let em eat cake. ;)
You act like you can't ever play it again? http://www.abandonia.com/en/search_abandonia/Master+of+Magic Surely you have DOSBOX or know about it right? http://www.brothersoft.com/dosbox-(0.65)-config-editor-60516.html Now you can play to your hearts content again. ;)
No I will just point out once again that you are an idiot with now a below 80IQ. I've played them all since 1982 I know what is good I know what sells and I know what is a great game. You don't you're living in a delusional world that AI programming should be Expert level and every game should have Big Blue programmed into it. lmao what a moron you are.
[quote who="Myles" reply="1" id="2351890"]If you have a bad connection you won't be able to play online. The only difference is that unlike most games which let you figure this out once the game has started, Elemental won't give you the chance to ruin a multiplayer game. [/quote] Excellent I can't count all the times I got disconnected from MP games because some idiot just had to log in on dial-up. grrrrrr [quote] Let me be on record right now as saying I think th
