Reply to Bungie Signs 10-Year Exclusivity Deal With Activision in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="5" id="2607740"]This is the kind of publishing deal you'd wished you'd entered into with James Cameron before he dropped Avatar on the world. If the product in question sells a metric 'fucking shitload' then the Publisher, in this case Activision, sees a great return on their investment while having to do very little besides sell the product, which isn't hard when you're dealing with top tier and well known talent who's name is as well know

YES YES YES! That should be the way to do it. Don't worry about fleshing out the races too much. You can even try to do mixed races within a city, although that would be very complicated....

Reply to Elemental: A preview of the modding in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

At least release DTDs for each type of XML file. It will save us a lot of work to validate our mods. Also a question: Considering that AI is a big focus of the game, will the core AI source code that ships with the game, be accessible in python code?

Saying no is sometimes more important than saying yes. Also, you do know that this forum supports polls.

[0.30][crash bug] stuck end turn button and crash when exiting to the desktop in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I loaded my previously manually saved game that I got a CTD, and played for like 10 turns. I got my sovereign to zero hp so he was regaining hp in my city. I wasn't doing anything other than building huts. not even using ui subscreens. I was just mashing the end of turn button waiting for huts, and hp, and it got stuck. I saved the game. I went to the main menu and clicked new game. The new game panel did come up. I went back to the main menu

[quote who="Jafo" reply="11" id="2594292"] Alot of folks have died, and continue to, for the freedoms we now enjoy. No-one died so that people could continue to steal other's property.

[quote who="John_Hughes" reply="2" id="2591804"]I have tested to confirm this and YES. 3 Companies were built and them placed on 3 squares in a row. I then moved 1 Company up 2 squares, to avoid any possible adjanency related component and fought with a NPC and won with 1 unit Lost. I then checked the other 2 Companies which indeed showed they had both also suffered a single loss. Edited Image linked below. http://img714.imageshack.us/im

The Internet will be locked down in 10 or 20 years or even sooner. Why? 1. The ACTA Trade agreement, 2. New ISP liability legislation, 3. Security Features in IPv6 4. And Trusted Computing Modules coming soon in all motherboards. Just because it is not locked now doesn't mean it will stay the same in the future. The giants move very slowly, but they do move.

[Suggestion 1Z] Population Taxes and unrest. in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Population that doesn't generate taxes doesn't feel good at all. It feels very artificial with the merchants. I worked to build housing, spending a lot of gold and reaching 7k pop ... and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt. What about a tax rate that would also cause unrest or something else? I would even live with a fixed gold rate per pop.
