Let's review what Vieuxchat said. [e digicons]:typo:[/e] [quote who="vieuxchat" reply="6" id="2508889"] [...] Sure you can fight in Elemental, but you have to build an empire, send heroes on quests, trade with other people, marry your daughters (and/or sons I hope), try a domination/magic/quest victory.

Almost completely unrelated, can't you give an example of what you call "Populus"-like powers? I remember the suggestion of "burning a hole in the map" from way back, like someone pressed a cigar against it, resulting in a big hole in the game world, with possible hilarity as the ocean pours into it in massive waterfalls. I still think that's a good idea.
I have no idea what it is about, but when I watched the trailer I couldn't help but giggle like a happy little child.

The difference between Futurama and Firefly is obviously that the cast of Futurama doesn't have to deal with real life. They can just pick up where they left of (more or less) and continue like nothing happened. Firefly is another deal entirely. But yes. I would definately watch. Firefly was absolutely splendid.
From what I've seen, it appears like much any other 'popular propaganda' movie. Just with superior technology.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="4" id="2504229"]Users will likely be able to monkey around with the servers right away. But they'll probably get broken regularly. :)[/quote]Give the end user access to -anything- and you can be sure that the first thing they'll try is to throw a big ol' monkey wrench into the machinery. Just to see if it breaks or not.
[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="40" id="2506965"] If I remember correctly, in the base GC2, the various races/factions weren't really different. But that was no longer the case in Twilight of the Arnor where each race have specific technologies and buildings greatly altering the way to play them. I was very impresssed with the changes to the way the GC2 factions play. Each civ feels quite distinctive now, especially if you turn off tech trading or disable tech brokering.[/quote]Hopef

[quote who="blackbirrd" reply="27" id="2504387"] [...] I will eagerly await to see how Stardock plans to handle the factions. I really want to love this game. Humans = boring.[/quote]We already know their plans for the factions. Two major factions, Fallen & Humans, each divided into smaller nations. All racial diversity is handled between them. And I love it.

[quote who="_Golgoth_" reply="24" id="2501692"]Well so far the input has been great. Im unsure if I should start playing Soulstorm yet or not? I really like the Tau, Eldar and the Necrons (only cause there are no Tyranids) but have a problem starting with the Eldar and the Necrons. I seem to get beaten by damn Grey Knights every time. And my Necron warriors take soo long to build I get beaten :/ Im also having a problem with the Tau beating anybody before I get one of the comm
Is that package with or without Soulstorm? Because if it's with, learn to love the Dark Eldar. Learn to cherish the Dark Eldar.

[quote who="Denryu" reply="7" id="2484527"]I agree GW - as I said, i don't think EWOM is a game where different government types is a plus. Different governing STYLES, certainly.

[quote who="TheRezonator" reply="393" id="2500454"]yeah, but all the distances in SGU are screwed up... like i said a few pages back: any Stargate in both the Milky Way and Pegasus can reach any other stargate in their respective galaxies... so why only in SGU do they have to "get in range" of gates? by extension, the other side of the universe could just be a few galaxies over...[/quote]There isn't actually anything saying that they can't use all the available stargates.

Who cares? It's console fare - the port to PC was quite possibly the most horrible mess I've ever had the misfortune to install on my harddrive. I am so glad I'm one of those filthy pirates, or I would've had to kill myself over the complete waste of money it would've been.
Colorblinds are clearly inferior people, cursed by gods, forgotten by evolution - just like left-handed people. That said, sure, go ahead. :p

[quote who="Aeon221" reply="14" id="2477899"]You folks all realize that un-utilized assets cannot be stored indefinitely, right? On a timescale consisting of years, everything other than stone or metals will decompose in a relatively short number of turns.[/quote]In reality, yes. In gaming, such mechanics suck ass. That said, you can store most things beside food virtually indefinately, if you preserve it properly. Including wood.
