For the moment I'm looking at them as drow. [e digicons]}:)[/e]

[quote who="McFungos" reply="14" id="1937775"]@Spartan Your are right the beast master should be Yarlen who is trying to tame editors & game devellopers to sign with Impulse. NB : Wow closing speedly to the 2000 replies on the elemental forum in one mere week.[/quote] Yeah methinks that would work well for him.

[quote who="Torgamous" reply="15" id="1938114"]Huh... I seem to remember hearing a lot of good stuff about Bethesda; were those lies, exaggerations, or did you just forget?[/quote] Wow! Talk about something coming out of left field... Beth is a good company but some of its policies are not as gamer friendly as I would prefer to say the least. It has a master that looks at it as a money machine and consequently that culture works its way into the company to some degree. Furthermor

[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="2" id="1937900"]Spartan- You might as well just work for SD. Seriously, your attention to this stuff is amazing![/quote] Thanks. It is the least I can do in the wee hours of the morning when I cant sleep. Sadly I'm not sure I could promise to do such things seven days a week. Sometime I simply fall into a coma for a day or two every couple months. I guess I simply burnout. I want to start a fan site for the game but I'm concerned I won't

[quote who="Torgamous" reply="5" id="1938075"]Will we be able to upgrade preexisting units if the materials are available? For example, if I have a city garrisoned by broze-wearing pikemen and it receives a shipment of iron armor for some reason, can I give the pikemen the armor to save on training time?[/quote] I hope a full upgrade system will be implemented. Frankly speaking it is something else I simply assumed would be in the title.

[quote who="CondarF" reply="15" id="1937883"]Hehe, thank you Spartan! And the others that were kind enough witht he karma.[/quote] Glad to assist even in such a token way. Recognition for initiative on things like this is often overlooked by the throngs of gamers on the forums. [e digicons]:dog:[/e]

[quote who="lwarmonger" reply="18" id="1937879"]But not at the cost of morale. Morale is an absolute must in a game like this, and not having it would be a real game breaker. To be quite honest, lack of confirmation on unit morale being represented in the game is the only reason why I am holding off on the pre-order.[/quote] I firmly agree on the morale point. I dont agree on the holding off point. SD is a solid company that really supports and listens to its customers and

[quote who="the Gorgon" reply="8" id="1937855"] A touch of such an epic dimension would make the game feel more like a saga and build a really good fantasy atmosphere and environment if properly handled.[/quote] I believe that is just what SD is going for with the title. The eye is on the long term franchise aspects methinks.

[quote who="McFungos" reply="6" id="1937789"]The trouble is the range of national ideas. It must neither be limited in the number of picks, like in the Paradox interactive "Rome" nor by the number & categories of choices like in "Civilizations". I want to play a civilization like a RPG hero gaining traits while playing. I want my civilization to espouse my way of playing not to have the feeling that i plugin a serie swithes to tune my civilization like a guitar.[/quote] <p

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="16" id="1937786"] You know, going all the way to Obama sounds a bit too extreme...Lame joke is lame. But on the other hand, think of how much pull Stardock would be able to have with other publishers on things like DRM, Impulse, etc if the President got addicted to their games and became a lifelong supporter? .... not so lame now, is it? Grand conspiracy material, I tell ye.[/quote] No doubt. Frogboy for Secretary of Gaming

If you want to implement a doctrine system then doing so on the back of national idea and government system would make the most sense to me at least. Both of which I want in the title already as per discussions in other threads.

[quote who="Nights Edge" reply="3" id="1937759"]I find that Stars! is really enjoyable when you are customizing your race and deciding on a strategy, or researching up to a new hull. But once you actually get to playing the game it's kind of a letdown.[/quote] Yep. That is why I stated it is a "spreadsheet gamer" title.

[quote who="McFungos" reply="21" id="1937723"]@Spartan If you can spare me the aging part + the pokemon/sims part of CK and Total War and add some moddable/fixed part in heroes. I will support you.[/quote] Sadly I have never played Pokemon or the sins so I'm not 100% clear on what elements you dislike with regards to those title. The aging thing can also be an option during setup or at the very least a spell based thing. On the modding aspect I would assume SD would make th

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="12" id="1937708"] it would be nice to see sub-forums for the races with subs for the factions (as they are reveled of course) and maybe one for mods set up.Forwarding to the powers that can execute change.[/quote] Cool and sorry for the typo.

[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="2" id="1937675"]I'd love to see a Post-Mortem on GalCiv 2 and see how those lessons learned might improve Elemental.[/quote] Well with 2.0 out now and it being the last major update to the franchise until GC3 let's hope we get on soon.

[quote who="McFungos" reply="19" id="1937684"]@Spartan Most obvious triggers can be easily uncovered. Winning 1 VS 2 => either good defender or good attacker... Killing a lot of XXX => XXXSlayer trait... Heroes spending X turn in a city with a church => Devot trait... I spend some time playing Trading Card Game and mastering a Metagame can be done. Not be me for sure but it can be done. Yes, mods for sure can save the

[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="4" id="1937634"]Dragon's probably aren't too tame and might have their own agendas to pursue. I could see being a pawn in a dragon rivalry, kind of like how the Emperor in Star Wars used Count Doku to flesh out all the available armies that could oppose his and crushed them by turning on them.[/quote] That is exactly what I'm hoping for myself. I can see two great armies meeting on the field-of-battle each with a dragon, then when they clash the

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="5" id="1937643"] Being a moderator can be very limiting to what you might WANT to say in a situation. That whole "being moderate" thing can suck. Ahh, I remember once I was talking to Blair (Fraser) and we were joking about him living vicariously through my less-than-diplomatic posts since he couldn't do that Yeah, being a moderator isn't always what's it's cracked up to be. Being a regular poster you can can go quite far without

Its about time! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] I have some more news stories for you in case you missed them here . [e digicons]:blush:[/e]

Sure that is possible but how would that be any different then following the same strategy every game? I for one like to try different things and variety and if there are enough traits and triggers it would be a very long time before someone just playing the game (not looking at the code triggers) would learn a sufficient amount to plan accordingly. Additionally when such a thing would become common that is what mods are for. See everyone is happy and Frogboy is very rich. Regarding t

[quote who="McFungos" reply="7" id="1937568"]Hi, I would like to have an event related victory condition. A victory condition that won't appear every game so players won't plan on it but can change the whole gameplay when it happen. Like this one : The world is invaded by armies of demons, the player who manage to destroy 60% of their force is declared Savior of the World and win the game. As the others victory conditions still apply, players have t
