[quote who="NTJedi" reply="4" id="2287897"] I guess you're just interested in a topic with lots of responses instead of providing a fair contest. [/quote]Then I should inmediately ask a moderator to delete this topic. Because I don't care if people post here. And this thread has of serious contest the same as me of native american (hint: nothing). In any case, surely it's an unfair contest for those who discover this game next year.[e digicons]8O[/e]

Would I seem to be cruel and utterly evil if I asked to have the year added to all those dates?[e digicons]}:)[/e] Joking, joking!

Your lack of 1 and one disturbs me.

And still wondering why the main page isn't updated. I know Stardock people are busy but come on... It's not like Frogboy himself updates it... right?[e digicons]8O[/e]

[/quote]The Drath were rescued and moved from "Altaria" when the "altarians", non native species, were busy with high potency wars. And in Gal Civ, Humans took alien technology and developed the Hyper Drive... not bad for some newbies and a shame for all those alien species that had been millenia out there using stargates.[e digicons]o_O[/e]

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="3" id="2286824"]...unless Brad becomes uncharacteristically talkative... Sorry? I'm quite sure than he has a team in Stardock just making sure that he doesn't say too much!! There are large numbers of horses and other terrestrial life in the screenshots. The odds of a coincidence like that are pretty slim. If you read one of my previous posts about it, you already know a possibility/explanation. If you want

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="1" id="2286731"] There is no complaining about the horses, because this is not Altaria. [/quote]By that simple logic, there is no complaining about cactus because it's not... you know. Elemental is tied to Gal Civ. And until they make clear the ties (or the lack of), I think it's safe to say that I can speculate quite a lot about it. Specially after reading some threads in this same forums (Elemental Insipirations anyone?). Just that. An

Considering that the "Big Guy Who Lives Forever" is a human from Earth and that his creations are somehow images of himself, I could understand that they arrived to a non-human world and using Dark Energy, they recreated life that was familiar to them even if it didn't still exist in Earth and it was not native to Altaria. That could make sense (The Dread Lords knew lots of things). And has room for variations that resemble earthlings but that aren't exactly the same if Stardock says so.

The one in the video and the ones where the Dragon is having fun in a battle don't seem very pinkish, spaceish or poneish.[e digicons]:P[/e] Maybe they still need to be "tainted" by essence, then follow the route of the Drath (aka leave the planet) and end in some far away system with some kind of freaks that can only talk about The Unity.

When I knew about this game and its frontstory (Gal Civ's), I was thinking that appart from the presence of air, water and all those "common" details, humans would be the only classical thing and just because of story. Ecosystem? I was expecting an alien one to reflect that it was not Earth in a universe where Earth actually exists (still needing evolution and all that). So I didn't expect horses. Yet we have horses. And I see no one complaining about it. It would be a worthy debate a

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="23" id="2286227"]The team is crying about the screenshots because they think they look bad. "The lighting and shadows aren't even in yet!!! Don't show these!" But I think it's worth showing these because people will want to see how the engine progresses through development. [/quote]No one is trying to see Gold screens so why so scared? Informed people knows they are pre-alpha screens so no worries. And uninformed people... no matter

I didn't forbid second guessing if you (or me) failed your first try.[e digicons];P[/e] Nothing but forum rules and common sense prevents you from posting every five minutes saying "getdate(); (gettime();+5)" [e digicons]:P[/e]

Those cactus looks like earthling ones but are not the same. There. Mystery solved. Next week: "Space Cows. Why and where?" (in any case, educative/informative post, landisaurus... )

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="1" id="2284860"] Scoutdog, you don't know the meaning of the word forced. Your OCD is not my problem. If it gives you a bonus, sure you can ignore it.... but at your own peril. Remember, people: players want to WIN. [/quote]If I don't have fun, why should I bother to win? Do I get money or something? A free house? A girlfriend? Demigod status? I try to leave the boring things for my job or when a friend needs help with something unpleasa

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="12" id="2283046"]/troll, the problem with Winter's "contest" is that tyhe bear nuts would all just put in "bear", while we would all go for different creatures. I think we need to do a "primary", possibly using the PABC thread.... [/quote]Contest like: "Create your own unit (that fits the Elemental background story)". People interested submit one (or more depending of rules) unit of their choice with a complete description (no numbers, just the idea of how th

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="7" id="2282703"] scoutdog, thats not a question... Allow me to rephrase: Do I not care about the bear cavalry, or what? [/quote]Allow me to rephrase: could we care about more interesting things than bear cavalry like tiger cavalry? Altough I would prefer something about a "contest" about custom units and have the best one of them in-game from launch. Whatever.
