It's abandonware. It's a seriously "grey" area that no-one care about. It's not "exactly" legal, but it's not "exactly" illegal either, since no-one en

The first thing that comes to my mind is the coats of arms in King's Bounty: The Legend. At the start of the game, you choose a coat of arm. Anyway, this has very little to do with the discussion; All I'm saying is that I like the style of those arms. <img src="http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/2780/emblem3cv1.gif" alt=""

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="3" id="1941391"]I'm a member of the Gerontocracy over at GC2, born at the tail end of 1964. This thread frightens and confuses me because when I see the word "Dragonlance," I feel a great flare of frustration because I got partway through the real thing with a D&D crew before the problem of being grownups made us have to ditch the attempt at finishing the story. I was not one of the players who suffered from spouses and children, and the gametime schedule di

Spartan, you have mail. It can be hard to see on these forums, since there doesn't appear to be a big pop-up in your face, saying "You've got a PM! READ IT! ACHTUNG! NOW!" , which I prefer. Edit: And I don't at all mind having this thread, as long as you keep updating the original post. :p Edit: Aaaand here's a bunch of Fallen, as per request. Not entirely sure how they turned out, since I used a techni

[quote who="RisingLegend" reply="14" id="1941447"]I have to say all this talk about different mounts is getting exciting: boars, pegassi, and bears, Oh My! But I do have to say that we seem to have strayed from the orignal topic. And I only bring this up because I have some questions about the magic in the game. I have tried to keep up on all the Q&A's and the previews but idk if i've caught them all. So can anyone tell me if different magic schools have been confirmed? I mean w

[quote who="RisingLegend" reply="3" id="1941475"] "Ice Age" spell that slowly turns all terrain to snow and ice. But what would be the point of this spell unless you yourself see benefit from it? I mean I could see maybe convering an enemy nation in ice but you would just have to counteract your own spell to make use of it once you conquered the frozen wasteland. But as for the countering of spells I totally and completely agree![/quote]Well ideally, the natural seasons will take o

I'm not entirely sure that this belongs in the "Elemental Ideas" forum, but yes, I completely agree. Even though mine does fit. On the other hand, I always consider avatars to be one of those "easy to identify x" wherever I go. So I'm a bit split. Arrgh, ignore me. I wasn't much help now, was I? [e digicons]:hugme:[/e]

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="7" id="1941264"]Because I have no self-control about digressions, I have to keep going about the bears. I wasn't talking about their domestication, but about their body mechanics. In evolutionary terms, bears are on a path with an option to become bipedal--horses aren't. Bears run on all fours, but they do a lot of their work, and I think their strongest fighting, while standing upright (or at least not bearing weight on their forequarters). They way

I remember a great many of them, but I've never played most of them, partly due to my age ('86, here) and partly due to the fact that I'm not a native english speaker (Sweden) and even though there's nothing wrong with my linguistics, it means I couldn't play these when I was 7 or 8, since I had yet to learn to read -any- language properly. I don't think I ever played Dragonlance, but I remember Eye of the Beholder fondly, as one of the greatest games ever. I didn't have any idea

Out of the AoW games, Shadow Magic, hands down.

Just to not completely de-rail this thread, I just want to add that I completely agree with GW Swicord 's original post, and dividing magic in particular into sub-schools at a certain point. Of course, the magic would still be based around Life Magic, but I'd be inclined to suggest the schools of Necrolytism (Good), Naturalis

I think that wheter you're Fallen or Human, it doesn't ENFORCE you to be "good" or "evil". They are just the two prime opposing parties, and even that can most likely be changed through diplomacy. I'm not sure if trying to play neutral will have any specific in-game effect (it's never been mentioned), but presumably you'd be able to utilize "half of this" and "half of that". Not that it'd concern me, since if I'm doing a druidic faction, we're talking the shadow druids on crack, emposing

[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="3" id="1940769"]What I would really like to see is some kind of random campaign generator, with events. It wouldn't be as profound as a real campaign but that would be really exciting to live a new story each time, even if that's stories tolmd 324345 times.[/quote] I'm not sure how elaborate it'll be, but they have said that sandbox games also will have a whole bunch of "quests", goals, and a ton of events. So it really depends on what you call a campaign

[quote] I am curious If the game was going to have a specific campaign like GalCiv?[/quote]Yes. Confirmed numerous times. It's even been mentioned in such ways that some people apparently got the idea that there's not going to be a sandbox mode. Which is, of course, hearsay and heresy! [quote] I would assume it would since the game is planed to be a franchise. If so I was hoping stardock might give up some details about it . Will the campaign follow the story of a specific cha

We're talking massive, global mayhem? Starfire As the sky catches fire, meteor burning flames comes crashing down through the atmosphere towards a huge game area, covering an enormous amount of land (or sea). All cities are basicly Alpha-Centauri-nuked, forests catches fires and are burnt to crisps, roads are destroyed, and thousands upon thousands, possibly millions, of people are incinerated. Entire armies are potentially destroyed; possibly even heroes if they
