Yea cloth map looks great. The coastlines look a little "square-ish" though.

I think there's already an official post, but thanks anyway [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Man, that war2 screen still looks great.

^^^^^^^^ Is that a joke?

AWESOME NEWS

I don't think they're going to lock the beta for the rest of the year, are they?

Morslok, you'd probably have to split up your empire right before you win in order for that to work.

This is incredibly amazing. I was actually writing up a post suggesting the very idea of being able to turn your cities into independent vassals. Frogboy, from the bottom of my gamer's heart, THANK YOU FOR MAKING ELEMENTAL SO FREAKING AWESOME.

I would totally buy an Elemental towel.

Is the 32 player limit going to be moddable? I know official support for games of 50-100 countries would be impossible, but for those with beastly computers could we theoretically try something like that?

Nothing really I'm just being a jerk. Just sounds awkward to me [e digicons];P[/e]

YOUR SOVEREIGN HAS GONE UP A LEVEL hahahahaha seriously? maybe "gained a level" or "advanced a level"...

Glad to see you agree that Blizzard is the world's greatest game developer [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

If Beta 1 doesn't have the magic system, how will we be able to create fertile land or whatever other basic functions are needed to play the game? By "magic system" do you mean just the sleek interface will be cut out, or that there simply won't be magic in the game?

CapnWinky, you shouldn't have to send an army to scout. Sending a specialized recon unit or a squad of grunts (hoping one of them will make it back) should be an option too.

Elemental will be a great success, but top 10? No freaking way. 2010 is looking to be full of some of the biggest heavy-hitting blockbusters of all time. Elemental could (and probably will) be top 10 quality, but not top 10 sales.

I find this post amusing.

BFME battles were terrible and arcade-y. However, something like total war or the infinity engine games' combat systems is pretty good. Pause and issue orders, or just twitch through the whole thing for a truly intense experience.

I am really liking those icons and the wood interface.

TAGES is turning me off to dawn of discovery as well...

The screenshots are great, but those soldiers look aliased to hell. But I'm sure those models will be updates eventually.

Huh? Those pictures look great. The art style is very unique and pleasing.

SoaSE or Anno 1404....hmmmm....

I really, really hope it's within the next two weeks...

Indeed, god bless. I'd happily look forward to seeing a steampunk mod of Elemental, but I really feel the canon game could do without that stuff.
