The steady march of time continues and Elemental's development along with it.

No, not for me anyway.

I have to admit that trailer looked freaking sweet. Perhaps Mechwarrior can be the come back kid.

umm, if you don't want to save during combat what exactly would stop you from not saving? I disagree that a save option during tactical combat would reduce tension in the game. If tactical battles can take an hour or more a save option would be a great idea.

Actually, this screenshot has proven to be rather informative:Reduced 44%Original 1282 x 769 The "hourglass" button is wierd: my first impression was "reset button", but that is so fraught with probelems that it pretty much HAS to be something else..... maybe the pause. There is also a "scroll" button: I am assuming this is for scripting (yay, scripting is in

I'm reserving judgment for my prototype of the ultimate thread but if I had to pick from the ones currently in existence I would pick victory condition s, super weapons / units , The avatar thread or Channeler duels .

[quote who="Ron Lugge" reply="8" id="2294883"] Really? Wow, where do they live, in Africa? Asia? [/quote] mythical doesn't equate to magical if you ask me. I would also guess that they live in Europe if trolls were real.

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="5" id="2294664"] "Goodie hut," as far as I know is just a term taken from the Civilization (or maybe colonization?) series - where there were literally lone huts on the map that would do something - either give you a bonus of some sort, vanish your explorer, spawn barbarians, etc. The term has grown to mean anything of the sort, regardless of its graphical content. Considering the rarity of magical creatures in Elemental, I wouldn't expect a troll encampm

I took interaction to mean there are situations where there is no fighting to get a reward (You find some lost crates) and there are situations where fighting is necessary to get a reward (fighting trolls / bandits). I suppose you could expand the "goodie hut" system to include something like your troll example but that would feel kind of lame to me. I would expect trolls in your situation to have a dungeon / encampment base of operations not a lonely hut on the map. Although, I am assuming t

The distinction might be so obvious people are overlooking it. I would suspect the difference between a quote "goodie hut" and a dungeon would be that a goodie hut is a single building that requires no exploration and only has the potential for one battle. A dungeon on the other hand I suspect would be larger (several tiles in size) with multiple rooms or levels. The dungeon would also have the potential for multiple battles with a boss or mini-boss in the final level / room / whatever. That

Sometimes I don't know about you guys....

I hope this studio in Vancouver can do Mechwarrior justice. I'm a bit skeptical even if it is true.

I'm primarily concerned with how the game will look on an upper class system. The design has shown steady signs of improvement just based on the newer screenshots.

I don't particularly care either way but if a blind research system was used I would at least want to control the general direction research takes.

The spell of making makes " WIN " obviously.

I didn't even notice the spider in the second shot GW. Good eyes, he looks like my avatar.

That wolf looking down on the city seems very ominous or is it just me? Regardless, this is an awesome update and I'm really getting pumped about the tactical combat.

Yea I'm using Safari 4 as well Pigeonpigeon. i've just given up on quoting for the time being.

I already pre-ordered my Windows 7 Professional at Newegg. I still have XP Professional and figured it was a good time to upgrade.

I believe the core of this disagreement stems from the fact that you believe equations are meant to explain while I believe they are meant to predict. Either way if you wish to continue this discussion we should probably do it someplace else. Edit: In other words send me a PM if you want.

Allow me to explain this quickly. You can break physics and almost any science up into application and theory. I did not have problems with application. However, the numbers provided using application did not help me understand why something happened . Any one can mindlessly follow an equation and arrive at the right answer. Theory is where the real heart of physics is in my opinion. If the logical theory behind the math doesn't make sense t

Suffice to say I disagree with just about everything you have said thus far piegeonpigeon in terms of both the game and physics. For the time being we will just have to leave it at that. I would also point out assuming I needed someone to explain the equations to me is a faulty assumption.
