[quote who="mastroego" reply="19" id="2779945"]Well, empirical data tend to disappear together with locked threads and deleted posts (polite ones included). I understand even the developers' reasons and I've not given up all hopes in the game, but I'm not sure I agree with the current moderation policy. [/quote]What kind of empirical data are you talking about? Empirical data about "the majority of Elemental owners"? Or empirical data about "X people from Forum

[quote who="hairrorist" reply="16" id="2779891"] Currently, and I think I speak for the majority of Elemental owners, the game is rubbish with a slight chance of redemption.[/quote]You think too much. Offer empirical data before making such claims. But then, this wouldn't be the internet.

Just letting you know that I keep working on it. It has been a playable faction for a while, despite some bugs, and hoping to slowly create all the needed buildings so I can consider it a "releasable" mod. Plus I may even have some "decent" skins for it by then. XD

There is always hope for Impulse getting some of the titles. MoM, Lords of the Realm, Gabriel Knight... We already got MoO 1 and 2, right?

[quote who="solidsmooky" reply="11" id="2778438"]i think its a little of both really. I mean because of these forums i'm kind of glad that the people over at civfanatics are so crazy and full of aspergers which makes them hate everything but at least the developers get actual feedback instead of gushing and zealotry.[/quote]Yep, your zealotry already proven in many threads of this forums are evidence that you are not needed. Yet, here you are. Lets thank people at Civfanatics for their exista

So... you come to insult people, put yourself above that same people and feel good about yourself. Nothing new in the internets.

No need to worry. End of the world by 2012. [e digicons]\o/[/e]

[quote who="mastroego" reply="3" id="2775945"]Exactly. Yet another reason why the adventuring "tech" tree should be axed. I'm actually surprised there even needs to be a debate about this...[/quote]We don't need one. Adventure stays. :P Instead of axing, lets talk tweaking.

[quote who="ClaytonHollowell" reply="9" id="2775140"]Really? More Food? Where? I have explored EVERY bit of my medium sized map that I can get to without going through enemy territory (1000's of tiles, hundreds of turns into the game), and THERE IS NOT ONE %#&!*$! FOOD RESOURCE THAT WASN'T SEEDED. Other than the seeded/revealed-by-research: NOT ONE SINGLE FOOD RESOURCE NO

[quote who="kryo" reply="8" id="2774211"]Most likely an oversight between the faction affiliation and parentage values determining who's a viable spouse.[/quote]So it's a bug? I thought it was kept feature from the Beta. O_o

Stardock promotes violence because there is a Conquest victory condition![e digicons]8O[/e] XD :P On topic: It has been like that since Beta. *shrug*

[quote who="eHandel" reply="14" id="2773098"] Can't wait for patch # 17.264 which will come in fall 2012. [/quote]Cause of the end of the world. But that's another story...

First people asking for Diplomacy getting axed. Now Adventure. One day we will only have Warfare and a battle simulator. :P

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="84" id="2772804"]There were/are two expansions planned for Elemental that include Books 2 and 3. Originally these expansions would be $19.95 apiece but now the the first one will be free to everyone and the second will be free to those who owned Elemental when v1.1 comes out. [/quote]Wow. Good and bad news there. I hope that in the end it works fine for you.

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="14" id="2772730"] Quoting wayninja, reply 13Well, it's a large bag of popcorn... from reading this thread I can't tell if that qualifies. The butter, however, is epic. There can be no debate. It's bacon flavored. ..and that is what matters! [/quote]*nod**nod*

I don't get why "Imbue" is supposed to be related only Life magic. Isn't it just "take a part of yourself and put it in someone else"? O_o

[quote who="wayninja" reply="11" id="2772704"]*gets popcorn out* [/quote]Is that popcorn supposed to be epic?

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="70" id="2772618"]Beyond v1.1, the first free expansion pack will have a new combat system, new tactical battle system, book 2, and a host of other things but that won't happen until Thanksigiving time frame. The second expansion pack, next year, is also planned to be free for users who own the game before v1.1 is released (first expansion free for all, second free to those who were with us from before v1.1). [/quote]Er... I'm lost. Are those two exp

[quote who="Istari" reply="5" id="2772545"] When factoring in the manner in which it was stated, the technicality becomes irrelevant. [/quote]Not a few people in these forums would say that Age of Wonders (whichever version they like more) IS the best game ever. People at the Starcraft II forums may disagree though. And lets not forget Battle Chess players!!! :P

[quote who="Gravedancer" reply="27" id="2771687"] Now let's talk about when it will go on sale. [/quote]Not that the game is precisely expensive, you know... :P

[quote quoting="post"]Master of Magic is the best game ever. The above statement is fact, not opinion. [/quote]It's an opinion.

[quote quoting="post"]First, what's 'Epic'? Lord of the Rings is Epic, right? Civ4 or MoM games aren't, at least not compared to the Epicness of LOTR. I think Elemental is supposed to be Epic. Civ4 and MoM didn't have lore as Elemental does.[/quote]LoTR isn't a TBS. So its "epicness" isn't the same as Civ IV's "epicness". Is LoTR epic? Epic as "Travel to the East with a Ring". Is Civ IV epic? Epic as "Start your civilization and survive till the end of times (by c

[quote quoting="post"]What suggestions or preferences do you have AND how would you communicate (visually) to the player how such a system would work?[/quote] Each unit has a base Initiative score. At the beginning of the battle the unit gets a Battle Initiative of their Initiative score plus a random number (ties go by Dexterity and further ties go by random). Each turn starts with the unit of higher Battle Initiative and ends with the unit of lowest. Recalculing Battle INitiative ea

[quote who="Raven X" reply="4" id="2771281"] One of the Devs did state a while ago they were counting "Individual Posts" on here and on other forums to gauge what kinds of things, be they bug fixes or new ideas, that the Elemental Community wants the most. [/quote]I already said that that was encouragin spam... Also, counting posts also include those of the existing threads. Stop giving excuses for laziness. :P Patch 1.08! Now with more Phosphorus!
