[quote who="Norhg" reply="25" id="1939092"]How about morally ambigious vs morally ambigious? As a sandbox game, there is no reason to restrict any faction to "good actions" or "evil actions" only. If it is a matter of appearance, then why should that be the sole judge for if a people is evil or good?[/quote] This is the system I think Frogboy has envisioned and I for one fully support. With a strong avatar development system and a solid story things should work out wel

[quote who="psychoak" reply="3" id="1939268"]Maybe... I'm hoping the new total war game pulls it off, but naval battles have been utter shit in every rts and tbs I played outside of actual naval combat games. I loathe having halfassed attempts at it, if it's beyond them, they need to just skip it. If they can pull off an entertaining and realistic system for it, I'll add that to my drool pile, but christ I hate having to deal with ships in so many games...[/quote]

[quote who="psychoak" reply="13" id="1939370"]Auto is bad unless it follows some sort of optional and customizable governor setup. You don't necessarily want all your spearmen to upgrade to pikes later. Depending on how detailed the system is, having light archer units for kiting enemy heavy infantry would get them massecred when they upgraded to plate mail.[/quote] I agree auto is bad. If it is an option for users then OK but othewise I dont like it.

I cant wait for a follow up interview. [e digicons]:andrew:[/e]

It will happen and within the next 20 years to be sure. The keyboard generation will be coming into power around 2025.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="8" id="1938976"] @Annatar - Please try again I changed the permission set. The guys did change things on me. Yupyup, that worked. Posted some bits, I imagine it takes a bit to reflect on clansofsin, since it's not showing up yet [/quote] Yep the modcraft db sends the new info to the other server every 15 minutes (I think). It is Mysql magic.

@McFungos - Again dont shoot the messenger. The system itself is righteous the implementation of it leave much to be desired. Game making is an art forum you know. Anyway, I made a quick list of some general core systems we have been discussing in various threads. They are: Government system Doctrine system National Idea system Vice & virtue system Trait system Heraldry system <br

Annatar has the right general idea for now. What I would like to do is once the domain name is decided to set up subs for each race. For example like: TheFallen.ElementalGame.net. That sub would have a unique frontend and special content for it. All would of course be lined at the top domain level which would naturally reflect any new content or news updates for all as well as the game in general. We could then make fully interactive unit databases and spells -etc... @Vieuxchat - No w

Delete me - something not right with the page change thing....

[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="24" id="1938857"]What do you mean when you want people that would add "content"?[/quote] Content is a very open ended thing... It can range from making desktop images to doing reviews on the game to coding interactive stuff for the website like we did for the clansofsin database or the database we developed and for another site we set up: twoworldscraft.com. It gets some major traffic to this day and I have not

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="23" id="1938853"] Sweet - please have at it. There is an x-pack out soon and some pimps would be great. We get a lot of traffic on the site. I do my best to promote SD and its titles. So I got proper access and everything now? I got my lunch break at work coming up soon and I'll throw together some updates for the site then, some previews/vids, and yadda yadda.. [/quote] I hope so. I added you to the webdev group so you should be able to post to

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="15" id="1938708"]As far as content, I usually have a good chunk of free time during the day when I can scour the net a bit to dig up the new previews, interviews, etc.. if you need someone to do that.[/quote] @Annatar11 - I really need someone who knows their shit with Sins to pick up the slack on the clansofsin.com site. All you would need to do is post thread in a news forums on modcraft.net and it auto updates the we

[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="9" id="1938568"]I'm not worried. Just some stuff to think through. Quoting Spartan, reply 8Well Frogboy is a pretty froggy about these things and Boogiebac seems like a smart cookie and this is his first project as lead so I think there is no need to worry at the moment.

[quote who="Feet" reply="10" id="1938557"]What sort of thing do you expect the volunteer to get involved in? Content? Moderation? What about using these guys as a base http://www.heavengames.com/ ? I only suggest it cause I quite like the aow2 fansite they run, it;s pretty active and well laid out. I dunno how one goes about getting a new fan page up there though.

@Tamren - Well if you are worried about scaring off readers due to length then I would question your target audience. If the material is solid, the writing well done and the topic relevant to the community I think people will deal with it.

It appears that squatters have taken all the obvious names already sadly enough. There really should a law against that shit. Use it or lose it and dont resell it for more then you paid.

Shoot you should try to put them all into the first post and if not start a new thread and reserve the first couple posts in it.

I want to set up an Elemental fan site and I'm looking for serious and committed community members to get involved. I'll cover all the setup costs and whatnot. So I wanted to know if anyone interested and what domain name do you guys would work best?

Well Frogboy is a pretty froggy about these things and Boogiebac seems like a smart cookie and this is his first project as lead so I think there is no need to worry at the moment.
