I believe that if I don't wear this here tinfoil hat, they will murder me in my sleep. The satellites everyone have in their heads is used to track us. It's a know co-conspiracy between the Soviet KGB and the Parallaxians. The Men in Red (MIR) don't want the truth to get out. I am taking a chance even writing this.

Know the difference. It could save your life. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reboot_%28fiction%29 For some reason they have a major hardon on doing reboots, keeping nothing but a name.

[quote who="celicakydd" reply="12" id="2706004"]What gets me is.... Don't they realize that when they pick up a title to do a reboot....we want to see a REBOOT! The reason fans of a series 10+ years old are still fans is because of the gameplay![/quote]Actually, no. What I want to see are remakes - re-making the same thing with modern technology. A reboot is when you scrap everything and start over. They call them remakes, but they are actually reboots. And they'

I've come to the conclusion that I no longer want remakes. Just a couple of years ago, I constantly thought that "I want a remake of Deus Ex " and "I want a remake of Baldur's Gate " - things like that. But the industry is so different now and everyone that owns those names are apparently blatantly incompetent, with no understanding of what made those games awesome, or how to recreate them. It seems like the developers haven't even pla

OH GOD WHY OH WHY CAN'T THEY STOP RUINING MY FAVOURITE SERIES!? WHY?! ;__;

I will only endorse this game if it is historically accurate. I demand witch burnings and rape.

[quote who="markieness" reply="29" id="2703953"]Is there a chance the ingame Faction/Race editor will return at somepoint? in an expansion or patch or somthing? :( Its not that i cant be bothered to use xml, its just that people i play with are more likely to accept my race as balanced if it's made in game using a points system.[/quote]Oh god I can just imagine the amount of bitching over the supposedly "overpowered" homemade factions in multiplayer games. Get used to <stro

Overall I like the change, but I'm not a fan of the yellowish text on the brown/greenish-yellowish-darkish background. I'd prefer plain white text (like in the quote boxes).

While I don't really have much of a problem editing .xml-files, not having a proper in-game/workshop faction builder would suck ass . Poking at the .xml's is something I do to tune or edit my factions beyond the basics, I'd truly hate to create factions from scratch. There's a reason I'm not a programmer or part of mod teams. It's not because I can't learn to muck about in various codes, but because I'm consistently bored out of my skull doing so. Edit:

By the gods, all this black is making me depressed! It also looks awesome ! I'm not sure why, though, but it feels blurred somehow and I'm getting a slight headache after less than 5 minutes. Could be psychosomatic, though. Or possibly the grey-on-black text. Perhaps whiten it a bit? Edit: Oh godammit, I just realized that all my bordered avatars are ruined. Goddamn.

[quote who="Aesir Rising" reply="402" id="2699542"]I've already been browsing my ..\Elemental\Gfx\Logos folder for appropriate fodder. I'm trying to decide atm if I want to sneak in an animated PNG under the radar and make the Crest_07 one have bubbles that bubble. Edit: nvm. that phial has a cork in it. It has been hermetically sealed. Those bubbles shouldn't even be there since the pressure inside would be equally distributed. Realis

All kinds of auras. Auras affect the character with the aura and every adjacent ally. Multiple auras that overlap stack in range and have an overlapping stack of effect. I realize this is a "convoluted" mechanic, but since it can be applied to a wide array of skills once coded, it may be worth it. Let me paint a picture of what I mean with "stack in range" and "overlapping stack of effect". Single aura: Red is a character, blue is range of aura(s), yellow are areas in which th

I can vouch for the 'Crest'-avatars looking 100% awesome in-game and on Impulse::Reactor :p Edit: Failed making a '%'. That's what I get for writing whilst drinking.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="21" id="2699154"]So how did you install Windows XP? Isn't it possible Microsoft will be bankrupt in 20 years time, or simply do not permit activations of the OS? The OS will be 30 years old by then! I would expect that in the highly unlikely event that Stardock went bankrupt that a patch would be released to remove the activation from the final patch. Plus the original copy on your DVD would function - until 2038 when I expec

[quote who="joasoze" reply="5" id="2699102"] [...] 2. There are two available timeslots at the stores that Stardock has ordered. August 2010 or Feb 2011. Thats why there is a rush. If they miss August, we have to wait until feb. A frog has told us this several times now [...] [/quote]This was true, but it's not true anymore. They're hitting the August 2010 release now. There's no other choice anymore. Wheels are rolling, de

OP, I feel for you. I used to work this crazy job with crazy hours that sometimes didn't let me do "basic" stuff such as visiting the bank for days at a time. I got away from that, but now I don't have a debit card that I can use to order the collector's edition. Bah. Wish I could share my beta with you. I can't even get mine to work properly. :p [quote who="LightStar" reply="1" id="2698337"]If you hate your job because it interferes with your computer gaming needs, you need t

Wow. I love Worms. But it uses Steamworks, so pass.

I can't get things to work at all. Only the Map Editor and the Tile Editor shows up and when I try to run them, I get a black screen that hangs. I'm going to try to reinstall everything before I start crying, though. :'( Props on how amazingly awesome Impulse:Reactor and the Mod upload/download looks, though. I was taken aback by how delightfully Elementalesque it all looked when I opened it up. It helps that I have an awesome avatar fit for the job. :p

Monsters should be split up into several different factions, with different behaviours. At the very least, I can think of Animals, Monsters, Intelligent Monsters, Humanoid. Out of them, only Humanoids should attack and conquer cities, for example. Animals would usually avoid combat unless provoked and stay away from cities. Stuff like that.

[quote who="Sushikawa" reply="37" id="2697849"]Wintersong releases a bunch of new buildings, but does so slowly over the course of a few months. Luckmann has downloaded all of them, and decides he doesn't like the names. He takes it upon himself to change the names of buildings, adds some cheesy particle effects and repacks them into "Luckmann's Uber Construction Pack", doesn't give any credit to Wintersong, then wins one of these contest. Winter takes a look at

Nyyaaarrgh..! Give me the faction editor already!

Bear mounts. Naturally.

[quote who="Peace Phoenix" reply="7" id="2694220"]Could you elaborate about what is exactly a canonical relation?[/quote]The game obviously relates to eachother in more ways than one. Themes, names; Kona, Draginol, Altar, Elemental, etc. But story-wise, there is no apparent relation. Compare it to how Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000 relates - compare Orks to Orcs. Basically identical creatures with identical names and identical characteristics. They relate. But they don't canon
