Maybe off topic but I would like a fantasy setting not from medieval stuff but more of spartan/athens nature. And form that point, upwards. And we won't get a tech tree. It'll be called "Development lines".[e digicons]:troll:[/e]
Damn, so I did take it too late? :( Well, good job anyways. Altough the former student of sociology here must complain about the first one: that kind of question is bad bad to force a single answer. I do many things while I wait!!! XD (and always add a N/A option)
[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="2" id="2244582"]I would love weather patterns vs. global weather [/quote] I wonder how would it be tough. We know that channelers change the enviroment around them (green pastures the good guy and rock&lava the bad guy) and I wonder if it's just a cosmetic change or if it could affect weather too.
[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="21" id="2244628"]The scenario you pointed to, Wintersong, is appealing but it is only one scenario of many that would result. And in every game I've ever played with limited resources, I have always at some point experienced the "well, there are no more resources and no one is strong enough to do anything" problem. Age of Empires (while RTS, not TBS) is a perfect example. Resource depletion often leads to boring stalemates. And often even if it doesn't result
Damn, I forgot to post the last part. XD Magic. Always magic. This is Elemental: War of Magic . Spells that change normal terrain into mines of different kinds. That is one of the counters to natural end of resources. We could talk about types of spells that can create mines, which some would have an essence cost asociated,... But magic would be an alternative. I know someone could say: Why have the mines to be depleted if you can have spells to create
Stardock is going to make a campaign for this game. The most important efforts will go to the rules for that campaign that will, surely, make the core (if not all) of the rules for skirmish/multiplayer. 1. Armed City States: Good idea. That the world is devastated doesn't mean that a few city states could have survived due to location, for example. Without a Channeler to expand good land magically, the only ways to expand would be by force conquering other city states or villages. But
It wouldn't be the first game where resources run out and the only remaining one if wood. In this game it would be: "Time to go back to stones and sticks." Consider it an incentive to go to war.[e digicons]:bebi:[/e] You have an ecosystem with some mines already discovered of various types plus some still undiscovered. For now lets forget about the Channeler and friends. In this scenario, my dear Winty faces Toadboy in a game. Soon in it, Winty takes control of an iron mine ne

Wasn't all that implied in the thread? It's not like this a popularity contest to tell Stardock who they should pick up.[e digicons]:P[/e]
It better contain female units. How I'm suppose to create an amazon civilization/tribe if not??? "Hello, I'm Line Trap and..."[e digicons]XD[/e]
I don't mind a NDA as long as there are pics shown by Stardock. Yes, I know they would be cloth map pics but that's fine as I' interested in it too.

I'd vote for a query selecting the names of all users taking part in the Elemental forum (no Off Topic) and then add to the table lottery values according to the games. After all, preordering the game is a bonus for the lottery. Nothing was said about Karma. Not that I care, mind you.
The big question for me is: stimate date for beta? Or if you prefer: how long will alpha be? Some of us are destined to wait to the beta so... hmmm... at least we will get lots of screenshots and all that, right?[e digicons]:pout:[/e] [e digicons]:drool:[/e]
About control, I don't mean to take it from the enemy. But obviously knowledge is power. How you use that power (if you can) is a different whole story. "Rogue/Spy" Champions would be sweet. As well as merchants, warriors... I don't want them to be just "generals". In any case, I forgot to add the layer 0 to it. To be complete, it needs to have a system like Gal Civ II's TotA in which you have some sliders to decide how much to spend in general spying on your enemies. So
