The world needs exactly 0 feminists. Exactly the same amount than needed chauvinistics (I think thats the proper word, sorry if it isn't, just think the opposite of feminism). Where is e qualitarism when you need it?
Maybe the next FAQ is scheduled to ship at the same time than the alpha (hopefully some time before it). As some kind of intro.
[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="1" id="2312231"]Barely played Diablo 2. Haven't played Sacred 2. However, you asked for opinions, so I have to side with Diablo 2. Sacred 2 comes with SecuROM which I consider (and many others) to be more trouble than its worth. In fact, I'll side with nearly any non-SecuROM game, even games from a different genere. If I could get a copy of the game without the SecuROM (legally, not hacked), I would pick up a copy and try it out to see whi
[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="16" id="2312384"]Additionally, scientist cannot be objective. It's just impossible. Their findings will be colored by their worldview.[/quote]Read Max Weber about that topic. Zyxpsilon link would work too, obviously. Also, study other religions/beliefs from a non crhistian point of view. Put yourself in their situation and try to find flaws to their beliefs but also to your real ones. If you can go back to your real beliefs and still find them to be the
If someone wants to insult you or something similar, he will try it in any way he can find, using against you your gender, age, beliefs... If they really want to hurt you in any way, any excuse will be good enough. Then we could talk about faulty socialization processes, the power of the mass over the individual, fanatics... Bananas desgined by God, teenager movements that are based on being a brainless beings in which guys are supposed to be "cool" and very macho while their girls mu
[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="7" id="2311810"]creationist scientists are reputable.[/quote]Scientists whose only purpose is to make everything fit into their idelogy can be reputable? Reminds me of that creationist explaining in TV why the banana was evidence of God and how he had designed it for us (humans) to use.[e digicons]:rofl:[/e]
[quote who="NelsMonsterX" reply="15" id="2311598"] If someone has an avatar of some cutesy squirrel or girly anime character or something, I expect them to be a female, but it isn't always the case. Where's the shame in wanting to know how to address a person? I don't see what the fuss is about over sharing your gender with people you hope to be friends with online. [/quote] To have my avatar selection reduced by artificial limits like "These are for men, these o
[quote who="ZehDon" reply="25" id="2311476"]"I don't know what weapons World War III will be fought with, but if there's a World War IV it'll be fought with sticks and stones". [/quote]That's being optimistic. Edit: ok, it could be all the opposite. Depends of the point of view used.
Everyday is the end of the world for many people. It's called death and happens everyday. I don't know why people worries so much about the end of the world by some " wrath of god effect" but they couldn't care less about trying to respect the enviroment, try to get along with each other... If they were so truly worried about the extinction of the human race they should care also about those details and... wait, they are only worried about their extinction![e digicons]8O[/e]
I relate pregnancy to population growth (ergo in the cities where civilians are and such worries matter) but as Scoutdog had to relate it to the army...[e digicons]:P[/e] I doubt very much there will be any impact of gender/sex in the game. Surely it will be just men or if women are posssible, it'll be just a cosmetic thing. Still, considering that citizens are resources too, in theory I could draft the whole population of a town and discover that all were men!!! [e digicons]
[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="4" id="2310898"] I had? Are you not a native English speaker? I'm not entirely sure if that ideom carries over into all other languages...... either that or you're just sarcasm-impaired. [/quote]Er... nope. Third language for me. I wouldn't discard the sarcasm-impaired part tough. Just in case. [e digicons]:moo:[/e] About modding pregnancy... haven't you tought of that epic unit
If we see pregnancy (not in a mod) I would be really surprised. Conditions that affect population growth (be whatever they are) would be normal. I had ?
The one who died was the spaniard one (already when I found it). What will happen with elementalgame.net? Waiting for alpha/beta?
[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="12" id="2310408"] Quoting Wintersong, reply 11 Why would any general allow his soldier women get pregnant while on duty? (duty as let's say they serve for some years and then they go to the reserve if the squad is disbanded) Because he or she lacked a means of suppressing fertility among the troops? Surely you're not suggesting that any officer corps has had serious success in regulating the sexual behavior of their t

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="4" id="2309611"] -Will we get dwarves, elves and orcs? For the first two, I think that the answer is a resounding "no". Orcs might appear in some dungeons, but they would probably be more like trolls than Tolkein orcs. -Will units be only of one gender? Can be there mixed genders in the same unit and/or units of a different gender than the standard (supposed male)? Would playing with gender in the military units affect population growth?
Lack of FAQ so... -Altough Elemental is based on the idea of Channelers influencing land (from desert to plains, for example), will it be actually easy to just ignore that feature and have just one type of terrain without too much effort (or maybe include a tutorial about it XD )? -A secondary plane will be included and/or planned and/or easy to add (random map generation problems apart)? And more than one secondary plane? Iknow this wouldn't be easy but the potential... And i
It surely won't be final design but I really like the job done with that menu. So neat.[e digicons]:drool:[/e]
The checks are about which of those free magazines you want to download too (PSP, PS3,...). Seems quite innocent and free. I'll never get used to read magazines in digital format tough. XD Good news? Finally got a fraking key for the game. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
The truth is that they already have a playable alpha but instead of releasing it, they are too busy playing the game (as buggy as alpha as it is). Right, huh?[e digicons]:P[/e]
I don't have any Green Card or similar so I'm going to suppose that I should rule myself by the rules of my country (which happen to ban me from certain types of contests done by some game developers...) if I were interested in holding rights over Stardock's (and other people not from the USA) material that I used for avatars. @Darkodinplus: I know, I know, the same as my eyes always try to read any subtitles there happen to be in videos. Even if I have no idea of the language of thos
[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="4" id="2303773"] Oh, Swicord, do like me and read the user names even if the avatar seems familiar. No offense meant, Winter. It might have been better to say something like your regular avatar changes are an exception to prove my 'rule.' But in general, I'm lazy, and the human eye seems to seek pictures over text even if the particular human depends on mucking with the latter for a living. [/quote]I force myself to check the user name
[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="25" id="2302713"]Actually, second f\to last in the Wintersong avatar block is something that LOOKS like an Elemental/MoM hybrid.... oh, btw, Winter: can I use the element-symbol border off of one of your avatars to make my own? (I always ask before using ANYBODY's stuff.....) [/quote]I hold no rights over any of the images I use so feel free to do so.

The contest is unfair to all those who don't have internet access. It's unfair to all those who has internet access but don't know about the game (and contest). It's unfair to all those who have internet access, know about the game but don't know baout the contest. It's unfair to all those who have internet access, know about the game, know about the contest but are too shy to post. Or really don't know what to post. Or the forum ate his post.
