For you guys that say you like the new UI, I don't think we see enough of it in these screenshots to be able to tell do we? Maybe we need a Dev journal with lots of UI detail.

Will any of these methods work if you drop your cellphone in a cup of Pepsi?

I'm still hoping for a turn-based game that is snowing during some turns. Any chance of that? I thought maybe I saw a few falling snow particles high up in the atmosphere in one of the shots...

Will a champion that produces a bonus (i.e. +1 gildar) need to be in a city to produce that bonus or will they be able to run around killing stuff while still providing that bonus to the faction? Or will there be both? Some champions must be in a city to produce the bonus ... others can run around and still produce their bonus?

i don't like it when i take over a city and then find myself 150 population in the red. can we fix that?

heavenfall, it sounds like you're turning into EWOM into EFE before EFE even comes out... funny.

you can never have enough salted pork

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="107" id="2952674"]Have a new one I need help with: ?- Sovereign weakness that reduces Constitution by 3 and only allows the unit to heal 1hp/turn (normally a unit heals level/turn and double that when they re in a city). I thought about "Scarred" or "Frail" but I'm not a huge fan of either.[/quote] stricken, vulnerable, deficient

[quote who="jecjackal" reply="24" id="2952687"]There are three issues with combat. You are completely overlooking one of them. 1. Equipment Tiers- This is the issue we are all aware of. Each time you increase a level of weapons or armor (or other equipment) you gain a HUGE amount of power. For example, going from the spear (9 attack) to the warstaff (15 attack) is a big difference especially when armor only increases by 1 per location. Dsraider is completely correctly when he asser

i liked the demos for Star Wars Old Republic and Elder Scrolls V (the dragons attacking was pretty cool). I still think SD should have been there with EFE tho.

heavenfall, when are you going to start cranking out "unofficial" beta patches? with your elite modding skillz, you should be able to fix a few beta bugs for us right?

i trimmed a couple of ferns back and found some wiffle balls in my backyard.

Just want to say "hi" before they lock this thread... have you considered Windows 7 or XP instead of Vista? Vista sux.

If they put Jon Shafer in charge of UI, there will be... otherwise, I think you're SOL.

thx!

I played a little during my lunch break. I really like finding weapons / armor in goodie huts ( this could probably be toned down a little bit cuz I'm finding way too many weapons / armor ) but this was a refreshing change nonetheless. Then my game crashed and I had to go back to work... will play more later.

I know that's bogus cuz I've downloaded the game previously. How do I get some help?

duplicate... freakin forum.

Release the hounds!

Brad mentioned in one of his posts that there would probably not be an EWOM 1.4 beta because the timing would interfere with the EFE beta. Given the 1.3 beta is a three part beta with Phase I due this Thursday ... do a little math ... carry the 1 ... and I get the EFE beta starting about 2 months from now. Am I close? Let me guess... you want to make sure the EFE beta has at least 50-100 quests, 30-50 random events, 100+ weapons, 100+ armor, 100+ items, 6 spell books (fire

[quote quoting="post"] + Minor factions removed. Sorry guys, they're just too lame to live for now. [/quote] I'm still really struggling with this one. What makes these little guys so difficult? We all loved the minor factions in Gal Civ and loved them in the pre-release beta of EWOM. Give these little guys a giant protector monster and a cool shop or trade resource you can't find anywhere else and call it a day.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="11" id="2947989"] Not everyone (not even most people) care about AI. They'll argue that we should just crank up the AI bonuses and call it a day. [/quote] Hope you don't mind me being one of those guys who does care about AI. ;-) I know a lot of people play these games for fun...not me. I'm hoping for a mental challenge of my brain vs. all of the mathematical computing power and strategery the computer can muster.</p

[quote who="charon2112" reply="9" id="2947665"] Quoting Jon Shafer, reply 4Derek is steering Elemental, so with this game my main work is in helping him with what he needs. I'm also spending a fair amount of time preparing for the next project. Unfortunately it means there's not really a lot for me to talk about here on the forums yet. Jon It's GalCiv3, I know it. Take good care of it, it's a special franchis

Jon[/quote] Hi Jon, Have some of your Firaxis buddies teach Stardock how to make rivers.

Since Brad is the best AI guy and he's working on EWOM, who's working on the AI in EFE? Should we be worried? I like the idea of an AI dev diary too because the AI is something that needs to be solid in EFE since it wasn't in EWOM. Actually, I forgot to ask. Do we even have AI in EFE or did Derek pull it out? :-)
