[quote who="Annatar11" reply="16" id="1958743"]Youngling refers to age, Padawan refers to Jedi rank. The two are not mutually exclusive [/quote]Yes and no. Youngling is a species-neutral word for child, but it's also used within the Jedi Order as an unofficial title, referring to a Force-sensitive child undergoing the early stages of Jedi training. When a Jedi becomes a Padawan, they are no longer a youngling. Note that this doesn't apply to the New Jedi Order, as there's no age

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="14" id="1958717"]I'm sure since she's a "youngling" that would be illegal even in the SW universe. Plus there's the whole Jedi oath thing [/quote]Yeah, but imagine all the untapped potential in falling to the dark side! And she's not a youngling anymore, she's a PADAWAN! Didn't you watch the movie?! [e digicons]^_^[/e]

Of course, this wouldn't be actual "Stargates", it's just a work name so people know what we're talking about. We never did get Stargates for GalCiv2, for a variety of reasons, and it wasn't something that you could mod in either. What I'm talking about it long-range instant teleportation between two set points, two "wormholes" or "teleportation gates", for entire armies. Their use is simple - to cut down on transports. The bigger a game is, the greater the odds that by the ti

I hope I wont have to take the time to put them all on one of my servers and redo the links...[/quote]Imageshack. Looks like it's starting to fail a lot faster than usual, probably because the forums have a lot more traffic than it initially appears to have (I've had images persist for literally years on other sites). Unfortunatly, I don't really

[quote who="Moosetek13" reply="20" id="1958407"]Actually, Lucas didn't write all of it. He's hired several writers over the years. Here's a trivia question. In which episode, and which scene, did Solo cop a feel of Leah's breast?[/quote]You loose by default for spelling Leia wrong. You're not qualified to ask trivia questions! :p

Also, remember that you need population to make units. If you make an army of 1000 men (supposedly, that's a very real possibility), you'll loose 1000 men from that city. Also, big cities will take a huge amount of space, seeing how every time your city goes up one step, you'll physically expand to an additional square.

[quote who="Rhishisikk" reply="23" id="1958313"]I like the idea of a stables where your domesticated animals are grown (not just horses); I CAN, however, easily see the problem if your worgen riders are stabled at the same place as your Chickens of Doom. Naturally, plains aren't where you want to raise bears; caves and forests are better. And yes, you're probably talking some form of charm spell to help domesticate them. But it shouldn't be that much harder than domesti

[quote who="Vandenburg" reply="15" id="1957726"]Well, imho he's correct that suggesting things before the beta comes out is a bit pointless, since most likely StarDock has allready decided on its concept for the beta and will really listen only to ideas which will work with other preexisting concepts which we'll experience in the beta. Since we currently know almost nothing about the game, our speculation isn't really useful since we can't know how it would work with the other parts of the ga

We're gamers. Developers are counting on us to come with suggestions. They're counting on us drawing conclusions. They're counting on us to whine, bitch and moan. So I say, I say; Stardock wants YOU, to brainstorm! Bitch and moan, NOW! It's your CIVIC DUTY ! [e digicons];P[/e]

[quote who="FlyGuy7" reply="11" id="1957584"]Did Stardock at least pronounced about mounts? Like how they envision it? I like that players can give suggestions and all, but I also would like to know their suggestion first. You guys know that esay like: Do not bother the artist, or something? (I'm making it) I know this is a suggestion section, but I mean about hearing what they have to say first and how they envision before anything. I have a suggestion about players and they prefered mounts,

[quote who="psychoak" reply="25" id="1956330"]Camels are smarter, tougher and meaner. If they weren't flatfooted they'd be the mount of choice instead of horses, smelly or not. That massive advantage in the desert is bloody worthless everywhere else.[/quote]It really depends. In all warm/arid areas, the camels are by far superior. The reason we so clearly favour the horse is that they are clearly superior in these temperate zones. [quote who="psychoak" reply="25" id="

[quote]Galciv2 suffers from the same problem where one turn is one week. This basically means you can go from an early spacefaring civilization to the ultimate technology and Ascension in only a few years; but since this is Sci-fi it's somewhat more acceptable (who really knows how future technology progresses). Population growth is also quite an issue in Galciv2 for the same reason (billions of people popping up in mere months). Galciv1 was better in this aspect with one turn being one

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="22" id="1956257"] [...] I really dislike the idea of being able to convert one type of mount resource into another. Why should I be able to raise horses in bear caves, or bears in open pastures? Just because I want bear cavalry doesn't mean I should always be able to get them easily as soon as I want them. If I can't find copper, I'm not going to be able to make copper or bronze products; if I can't find bears then no bear

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="3" id="1956304"] [...] Also, I seem to recall one of the devs mentioning that player-created content would have to be approved by them before it becomes available. 1) I can't remember where I read this so I might be making it up, and 2) given the number of people I'm hoping will buy this game, I don't see how the devs will be able to get through all of the submitted content without making it their full-time job... so we'll see how
