[quote who="Ryss2032" reply="1" id="1962793"]You want it, you got it.[/quote] Sweet! Please tell at least 10 other friends and get them to submit nominations. The nomination can be as little as a few sentences. Something on the order of: "I think Brad "Frogboy" Wardell, President of StarDock Entertainment deserves to be the Game Industry Hero (GIH) because his business practices and development policies since founding his company, have been very customer friendl

OK. All you StarDock revolutionaries, it is time to act! Edge has announced this year's Game Industry Hero nominations for the top 25 people in the industry. Consequently Brad "Frogboy" Wardell, President of StarDock needs YOU! The Edge editorial staff will select the

[quote who="NelsMonsterX" reply="13" id="1962598"]I think adding crazy creatures like giant chickens would turn a lot of people off. Stardock would be wise to stick to classic fantasy rather than Final Fantasy. [/quote] No doubt... [e digicons]:banhammer:[/e]

[quote who="Ironhandx" reply="11" id="1943313"] Quoting BoogieBac, reply 7 Personally, I'm really hoping for 'rpg-like' hero-controls -- leveling, equipment, etc etc -- to go right next to my large-scale TBS fun. Yes and yes. You sir have just become my favorite person of ever. [/quote] Considering his position, I think it is a safe bet the game will go in that direction. Now about that fan club you are going to start for him...&

[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="14" id="1962564"] Quoting Luckmann, reply 13 Quoting NorsemanViking, reply 12 This is really interesting! This will also make it possible to optimize the AI for different kind of maps etc. One AI could for instance have 12 player games, and large maps as his favorite gamestyle, and always wanting to join those game as his 1st priority!12-player games? 12-player games?! If we're going to have x64 gargantu

Hmmm... for purely efficiency based reasons as well as productions ones, then priority for AI testing and development slots should be given to people with single and multi quadcore systems with four or more GBs of highend RAMM. Coincidentally I have to fall into that category - Imagine that! [e digicons]:w00t:[/e] I can hear the frog hopping this way now methinks... [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e]

[quote who="Eplekongen" reply="6" id="1962062"] Quoting Spartan, reply 3 @Eplekongen - it is a png file and it can have a transparent color. PS can easily make them. Ok, I see it now, even if you use a png file as avatar it still shows up as "icon.jpg". The funny part is that if you dewnload the icon.jpg to your computer it is still a jpg, with transparacy! Hiiii! Just, tested it, if you rename a .png to .jpg it still keeps

It just makes him feel special [/quote] Truth be told Annatar and I are at war! [e digicons]:cylon:[/e] He has me pummeled in karma in Sins since I had to miss the multiplayer testing.

[quote who="Cervomix" reply="1" id="1962005"]Why Karma is so important Spartan? It gives you special access or something ?[/quote] Nothing at all but bragin' rights. [e digicons]:wulf:[/e] What else is there in the digital domain? It is also something we can use to create community spirit and camaraderie which serves us all well collectively - nothing more, nothing less. It is a point. It is not very big nor very sharp but it is a point nonetheless. [e digico

[quote who="Polistes" reply="11" id="1962013"]I want to be a good guy with my army of scorpions and spiders LOL[/quote] Good and evil are relative perceptions. Most "evil doers" don’t look at what they are doing as wrong/evil. Hell just look at human history, it is full of "do-gooders" killing, raping and maiming people and destroying everything around them. Additionally the victors write the history books and they are always skewed to the party line. So dont worry about being g

[quote who="Eplekongen" reply="24" id="1961932"]Can you have animated Gifs as avatars on the forum? *edit: What!? Someone has given me karma! I am loved! [/quote] Sadly no. This is so since gif files are not allowed. Regarding karma - show some love and get some in return and it works the other way as well. [e digicons]O:)[/e]

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="22" id="1961921"]All pre-orders will get access during the beta phase. But we are likely to have some qualifiers for beta 1 which we're still trying to decide. [/quote] (hint, hint) All hail the Frog! [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e]

I can see it now, someone arguing "but I am human - honest!". Please let me play again! I promise I wont zerg your ass this time.

Very cool. This system sounds righteous and given it is pretty much open to the community base, makes it wicked if it works as intended. I hope we will be able to create video avatars and logos for the AI bots as well. I can see the day when we could download or even purchase, insidiously well developed custom AI opponents. Hell toss in some unique units and we could have wholesale faction add-ons. A mini cottage industry if you will. All hail the frog!

[PSA] When one wants to put an image in their post they should click on the "tree" icon, which is next to the "chain" icons (they are for links) then paste in the link. If they did it correctly the image should show immediately. [/PSA] [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e]

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="20" id="1961177"] Quoting Spartan, reply 19Cool. I got them. I'll try to get them online soon and update all the images shortly after. For the Frog... We really need signatures on these forums. [/quote] We have asked many times over the years. Anyway, if you really want one, the best thing to do is to make one and keep it in a txt file on your desktop and always paste it into your posts.

Cool. I got them. I'll try to get them online soon and update all the images shortly after. For the Frog... [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e]

[quote who="Martok" reply="19" id="1961100"]Damn, Spartan. I'm impressed! How did you find my thread over at the Org, though (along with all the other threads)? Did you just randomly peruse all those forums? [/quote] I may not be active in the community anymore but I still keep and eye on things in it and help quietly on projects still.

Cool. I'll wait to hear from you.

Sadly it looks like I'll have to transfer them to my server since your host is failing big time. Can you put them all in a zip for me and PM me the URL?

ROFL! Drew has it going on! [e digicons]8O[/e]
