[quote who="landisaurus" reply="4" id="2237659"]I want a boyish-looking woman child of a bear :p but seriously, I remember in MoM how the wizards were all human except for 2, which include a dragon and a mystery hooded figure. In that game there were many races, but you can only play two. I would like to see this game be the opposite. Though since that may be unreasonable, my back-up hope is at least one 'theme' of channeler outfit, body st

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="5" id="2254361"]This is where we disagree. Building more and better is no challenge. Half of it depends on how lucky you get with the RNG on map generation and how the resources fall. No, winning a battle against a superior opponent, *that's* the challenge, and it's just not possible with a simple auto-resolve.[/quote]So you think that any given game of Galactic Civilizations or Civilizations, or Alpha Centauri, or virtually any 4x game to date is predetermined t

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="2" id="2254326"]And if you don't have tactical combat, you're at the mercy of a simplistic stats and auto-resolve system where there's absolutely no challenge and it all boils down to "more and better wins".[/quote]As it should be. I wouldn't agree with there being no challenge, though. The challenge is having more and being better. And it still is with tactical combat, with the added hassle of having to go into the trenches and tell the soldiers to put

[quote who="Ashain" reply="6" id="2254295"]Yeah but if we didn't speculate what would we have to talk about?[/quote]I think we're getting to the point where we've speculated on almost everything. That's why our threads keep degenerating. That and Kitkun. And Annatar.

My personal favourit is the Blendtec 'Total Blender' . I can do almost anything with it, it just tears through it and blends it evenly. It's an all-in-one appliance that makes smoothies, fresh juice, ice cream, milkshakes, cappuccinos, margaritas, soups, sauces, bread dough, dressings, salsas and more! It probably replaces up to 9 other appliances with one fast easy-to-use

[quote who="NTJedi" reply="6" id="2253680"]Find a career like mine which allows you to work from home. Cuts down on the cost of gas, eating out, speeding tickets, vehicle maintenance and just calculate how much time is spent every year driving to and from work.:)[/quote]Because as we all know, such careers are widely available for the common schmo. Quit your gloating. :p

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="15" id="2253969"]February - June ≠ a whole year.[/quote]I don't know what I was thinking. I meant half a year, of course. [e digicons]:X[/e] [quote who="KellenDunk" reply="16" id="2254030"]is != instead it's better.[/quote]I'm not sure what you meant with that sentence, but I'm going to assume that it's missing a questionmark, to which I answer; No, it's not. ≠ is the correct symbol.

Is it just me, or have threads been decaying more and more rapidly lately?

[quote who="Wahngrok" reply="23" id="2254186"] Quoting Luckmann, reply 18I'm still disappointed it made it into Elemental. I'm looking very much forward to tactical combat. If you don't like that you can always use auto-resolve [/quote]Not an option and I'm tired of people talking about it like it is.

They're not remotely similar, except that they both list 3 points and are on the topic of doing a generalist mod. Except that yours is.. you know. Coherent. Well spoken.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="17" id="2253538"]I never got into Civ 4. As I said, I always go with the military route, and it's the one thing that's sorely lacking in Civ4 and GalCiv - no tactical combat.[/quote]Bah. Screw that. I'm still disappointed it made it into Elemental.

Man, this was from all the way back in February? I haven't done shit, and it's been a whole year? Anyway, bumped for good measure.

Old thread, old post, but still relevant. https://forums.elementalgame.com/328989/page/4/#1939498

[quote who="Kitkun" reply="2" id="2253425"]Oi, this would go better in the Modding section, not the off-topic board. The OT board is shared among a number of Stardock sites. [e digicons]:fox:[/e] [/quote]Beat me to it. Kitkun said it a lot nicer than I was going to, though.

[quote who="Denryu" reply="15" id="2253372"]What was wrong with The GalCiv2 spheres of influence? They were just there. Anyone could fly thru them without it being a "declaration of war". You don't want me wandering around in your territory? Do something about it! I also liked how you could have islands of influence if a new settlement was too far outside your current area of influence.[/quote]I couldn't tell them to sod off. "Doing something about it" involved going into a potentially unwant

[quote who="psychoak" reply="15" id="2253254"]Yes, it is. Why haven't you already played FFH if you're waiting for this game? It's the best thing out there, although hopefully not for long.[/quote]Fall from Heaven 2 is at least eight kinds of awesome. Calabim are one of my favourite civilizations, much due to the aformentioned tactic of Sun 2 Vampires. If upgraded to Vampire Lords instead of Paladins (which are in no way mutually exclusive) you can also take Sun 3.</p

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="3" id="2252693"]I hate borders. They made my life miserable in civ4, and I do not want to see them in elemental. I would like the red line to be the indicator of your essence-powered land.[/quote]I love borders. They are just hard to do right. I'd like three different borders. One border that determines my channeler influence. Another one that determines my cultural influence, and one that determines my political influence (or claim thereof). Most

[quote who="psychoak" reply="12" id="2253183"]More specifically, they want you to be able to make a "Horrors of Watoomb" faction that can be played good or evil, but they've decided not to trying doing the standard faction set as optional allignment factions. Preferable really, I'd rather have factions with a definite flavor to them. Having a race of goody two shoes paladins that can be good or evil just doesn't make sense. Certain twisted individuals will want one, but then

[quote who="strikesback5" reply="3" id="2252640"]You could buy it.[/quote]Oh Strikeback5, you so crazy ! [e digicons]^_^[/e]

Depending on creation interaction, I wouldn't mind it at all. After all, those with less mana would get something else. As long as it's not random.

Welcome to the Stardock forums! Watch out for some guy called Annatar. I heard he leeches Karma from your soul. :p

[quote who="Paradoxnt" reply="16" id="2252378"]I was under the impression that we'll be starting the game without a city. Our channeler will then get to find and choose a good spot....so that means it isn't game over without a city.[/quote]It's the same in Civilization. You start with a settler, but you still loose the game if you loose all your cities.
