[quote who="Thecw" reply="15" id="3500707"] "Clearly that rune of containment is wrong." The Sorcerer King turns around and carefully inspects the rune for any problems. "There is nothing wrong with the rune. He is perf.....". Looking down he notices the point of a sword sticking out of his chest just before collapsing. "It is time for you to be transformed into 'magical energy'. Boys, throw him on the pyre and let him burn to ashes." [/quote]

Maybe we should ask him for a gift receipt? You know, in case we don't like the gift and want a full refund.

[quote who="thimon2k" reply="56" id="3495932"] Brad, you are aware that there are desktop.ini, .dropbox and .dropbox.attr files, too ?? Not sure they should be there. [/quote] I was about to make the same comment. Looks like Brad's Dropbox replicated into the e2015 web server's file listing.

If you get some time, I'd be interested in hearing more about the Doomsday counter. Seems kinda self-explanatory, but in one of the examples you get +2 to it (which I take as a good thing). Sounds like this is a countdown that is changeable based on what you do. Cool to hear about NPCs in there. Will diplomacy work the same way as LH or some other way?

Continues to look good. On the Questing screen, I'm a bit concerned the Results may not be as obvious as they should be. For instance, according to the text a Soldier joins you. And there's a soldier listed below. But it should indicate the Solider's addition down below under Results, too. Something like +1 Soldier would make sense. Or maybe have a a section for additions and another for removals? Simply listing Soldier isn't as informative, unless the ONLY Results wil

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="12" id="3486949"]And yes, we actually had the same system in E:wom, FE and FE:LH because you could only equip one item to one slot anyway. But it just feels better with an item display where you can actually see it. [/quote] Amen to that. While the current layout in FE/LH works, it's nice to see a visual showing where these items are. I've always been a fan of the paperdoll layout, just to keep things more organized.

I see the latest screenshot mentions a name for e2015. Not a bad name, just kinda generic. Seems like the Elemental name should be in there somewhere. I continue to be in awe of the great facelift. Wish it could come to Fallen Enchantress!

The other Founder's Vault updates have happened on the 10th of each month, so I'm hoping for an update next week. Like you, I'm interested in hearing more.

Well, the place didn't burn down while you were out. Though there was this Beta update of 1.7 for Legendary Heroes. Had you heard about that? You may have known the developer on that project... ;) Hope time off was enjoyable, Brad. Get a chance to work on E2015?

What's the wiki URL?

I just got the email that said this has been release. The thread info can probably be changed up above now.

[quote who="The_Gear" reply="93" id="3481704"] Lord Reliant - If we're in beta you can right click your game in your Steam library, select properties, then the Betas tab and from the drop down select/view the current beta. [/quote] Awesome. I don't have Steam in front of me, but is there a build or version number we should reference to know it really is on the latest version?

[quote who="The_Gear" reply="90" id="3481689"] mqpiffle - Do you have the release patch? I know mine only came through at 1:40ish PM EST. [/quote] How do you tell which Beta version you're on again?

Hey, at least at SD you got to try out being a Producer. Sometimes you don't know your abilities (and limits) until you give it a shot. I will continue to affirm that your Mad Scientist role is a great one for you to play. The world needs those types, and you're a core Stardockian. In a company that thrives on innovation, you need innovative people. On a side note, have you heard of StrengthsFinder? We use that to determine the natural talents of our staff and find it

*Gasp!* [e digicons]8C[/e] Next you're going to tell us it's set in a fictional fantasy world, too. Are you sure you don't need to run this info by PR/Marketing? Imagine the impact once this gets out to the public! Things just get wild when the CEO is out. [e digicons]XD[/e]

Somehow I'm envisioning a "Home Alone"-esque tale where the forum get hijacked and all messed up, flame wars everywhere. It's up to Island Dog and Kyro to not only fend off the trolls, but clean it up at the last minute right before Brad returns. Brad: Hi, guys. How did it go while I was gone? Island Dog and Kyro: [furtive glances and suspicious smiles] Great. No problems. No problems at all. None. Nope. Zero. Brad:</st

Feedback on the latest City prototype- I'd rather see both my city's improvements, enchantments and units AND my production queue at the expense of having a much smaller city picture at the top. Maybe more is planned here, but having to click one more time just to get that info seems like extra clicking. I also suggest adding a number behind each Resource. So in the most recent example: Food (33) Production (41) Essence (1) Logistics (4) <p

Well, sounds like 1.7 will be out next week so if you can't solve it before then, give that a shot. Also, if you haven't worked with SD support I'd encourage you to do so. They're really great.

Thanks! You should really patent "The Shafer Button". Sounds cool. Will you be able to found other cities than your starting one? Curious how this will scale over time.

I noticed today there was a City Screen Prototype up on the Founder's Vault today. I'd like to say my jaw dropped at the artistic polish already. If any of this could be back ported to Legendary Heroes, that would be amazing. Cool to see some of the art assets being reused in a good way. I like the overall flow. I'm not trilled about having large and small icons for production. What quantity do the large ones represent? 5? 10? It's hard to tell when there isn't a l

Will be interesting to see if 1.7 provides any help here. Should be coming out later this month: https://forums.elementalgame.com/455808 Do you run any other Stardock programs that use their software (DesktopX/ObjectDock)? How about widgets/gadgets or anti-virus software? Curious if there's a potential conflict there. What OS? 32 vs. 64 bit?
