[quote who="TheProgress" reply="16" id="2875690"]I'm sorry, but roads and rivers are the last thing Elemental needs in order to be interesting. Wide ranges of unique monsters, distinct races, clashing magics and terrain types, secret relics locked away in forgotten tombs. This is the stuff that will make Elemental interesting.

[quote who="IBNobody" reply="165" id="2875679"] Quoting Derek Paxton, reply 157 We considered a higher casting cost, obviously thats what we did with Teleport. But Blink wasn't just a case of balance. It introduced significant AI, balance (in that even with a higher casting cost it was still abusable) and fun issues (bouncing back and forth on a battlefield while the ai runs back and forth isn't enjoyable and its strategic)

I'd rather have 5 interesting champions than 50 generic ones. We should have less, they should not die, they should be captured. They should be more unique and interesting.

[quote who="Uvah" reply="290" id="2875112"]What surprises me is the fact that some posters can't stick to the facts. Always blowing it out of proportion. Fact ...... a young mother is being unjustly penalized for downloading 24 songs. Fact ..... the media is the one behind the governments pursuing this line. Fact ... all the rants, complaining and everything else is not going to change what is. Why? Simple. The ones responsible will never see this thread. Maybe sending all this to where it wi

[quote who="Beakie" reply="19" id="2875107"] Quoting Lord Xia, reply 17 I know what the OP is getting at. Now that we seem to have a lot of the foundation finally in place, when are we going to get the icing on the cake, the things that make the game interesting.

[quote who="abeaudoin" reply="283" id="2875020"] If you are American, you can't possibly complain with a straight face about this. I mean, the RIAA is just doing what your laws allow. If you disagree strongly with their behaviour then emigrate, stage a revolution, or go back to sleep while you're waiting for the next travesty. PS I'm not American. For those who lack reading comprehension this is not an accusation of lack of patriotism. It's an accusation of apathy

[quote who="Yamhee" reply="9" id="2874974"] Quoting Lord Xia, reply 1 Bruce Wardell is Brad's brother, Toadboy. Should you buy it now? No, I would wait and get Fallen Enchantress, the expansion pack that will be a stand alone game. Have they said the expansion will be a stand alone? When? [/quote] Yes, several times including multiple threads by Frog and Kael.

This isn't Crusader Kings, were making family members marry causes inbred kids. They will be fine, and I necro'd that thread we had, I had some crazy rants in there, pretty funny.

People find my remarks funny. I'm not all that helpful, but I do make some laugh at times.

Yes, he can marry his sister or cousin if they belong to another faction. I'm not sure why everyone hates Altar, but that does seem to be true, its the only thing that sets any one faction apart from the others, is that they all seem to hate Altar.

They should really do a round of polishing the little things before creating a demo.
