As per request by RavenX here: https://forums.elementalgame.com/396516 Against those "Epic" Battles. Epic isn't in numbers but actions.

I have been with the tile editor and altough fun, I suck at aligning walls an d I fell bad about it. :P

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="2768364"]I think we should come up with an XML list of names for each faction and have the name generator pull from that. [/quote]T.H.I.S.

[quote who="Raven X" reply="19" id="2770243"]Modifying this is something a Lot of modders would want to do when creating custom races and factions.[/quote]Not the casual modders that won't go beyond the Workshop. I cannot wait to bypass the Kingdom/Empire filter in the Faction selection menu... between other things.

[quote who="Raven X" reply="29" id="2769324"]Could you expand a little on "we're just going to have to bite the bullet on this" ? What do you mean by having to bite the bullet? Having to bite it and spend the money to make more different races? Or having to bite the bullet and just not make them? [/quote]I understood it as refering to the magic system, not to "We are going to please the loud people of 'OMG! WHERE ARE MY ELVES??!!!'".

Thanks for your words. :) To have a... lets say interesting background (YMMV and all that) is one thing but giving it flesh in the game another. Hoping for some good job in that with the items, quests, places or Champions. About langauges, as I plan to add factions in batches of one, I'll be asking for help for the proper people when the moment arrives (be it French, German, Swedish or any other). The first faction is Greyfang (and its clone) which shouldn't be a problem (Engli

[quote who="ChorgeNegro" reply="91" id="2769030"]Great Post Wintersong! I have one question about the "Beyond Elemental: Modding" section. There is a picture of "cat race" mod, but i couldnt find this mod in the mod libary and also not in the forums. Did i miss this or is this just a dummy picture ?[/quote]That's a skin I created for females during the Beta (quite basic but functional). I used it as example of something that can be done but there is not such m

+1000 to Miko outfits.

Elemental is only for Windows. Not supported now for Mac/Linux or Emulations of any kind. And the probabilities of Elemental ending in Mac/Linux is even lower than seeing Elemental in Steam (different reasons though). Maybe one day Stardock will grow to the point of considering multiplatform but right now... nope.

Blood Magic. :P Let my Champions fuel their magics by blood instead of mumbo jumbo mana. :P Or magic that does something to the caster and something different to other target (through XML and different to that Drain Life). Or do my dirty work and create text adventures a la Space Rangers 2. Come on, it must be easy... I suppose? Requires Python to create the setup? I must say that I don't know what to ask for seriously. I wanted that RPG mod that you were to create... but I su

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="2768296"]Our original plan, for what it's worth, was for the expanded E team to go do a sequel to one of our existing titles and have the other half create a new RPG title using the underlying engine elements (the quest system in Elemental is very VERY powerful, just woefully underutilized right now). However, since Elemental launched in such a deplorable state, that has all changed. Now the plan is for the E team to stay on Elemental for the next

With Python not in the horizon, me not finding the animations for my Amazon Sovereigns, a week of poor health and an epic headache, wanting (and achieving) my first Master Quest victory... blah blah blah... I have been doing some "art" stuff for the mod. I only needed the Greyfang and its clone for when I start working in the XMLs but hey, why not do some of the others too? :P I had been doing some crests before the release of the game but in hindsight... they suck. Royally. Mos

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="17" id="2767855"]+1 as well, but perhaps this should be optional.[/quote]I don't want "Tech trading opposers" to force their gameplay tastes on me (like right now) but neither I do want to impose mine so optional all the way (SP and MP). If it was possible in Gal Civ II, should be possible here. And tech trading is not going to be done well ever if developers don't keep trying to create a good system. Much like the game mechanism of espionage... oh, wait, we

I have finished one by Master Quest after conquering two AIs (Kraxis, Capitar) and owning the other two AIs (which means that I allowed them to live for many turns so I could get the Master Quest for first time). Got 98 in the end. I suppose it's a score based on army might, economy thingy... and that right now it's not so useful as there is no high score list.

[quote who="Jharii" reply="12" id="2767332"]Wintersong's mod, while entitled "Dying Sun," does not appear at all to be a Dark Sun mod. Rather, it appears to be his own unique D&D world. I certainly don't want to step on his toes, but everything I read within his post does not reference Dark Sun directly, but only as an inspiration as an ingredient of his unique creation. [/quote]Don't worry, you got it right. :) Zothique, Dark Sun and The Eternal Champion are t

I had to actually delete temp files manually to finally have Chrome show the correct images.

Whoever is in charge of the website, fix the menu. It's has weird MouseOver issues. :P

Daring to play huge maps while OOM errors aren't fixed is like to be masochist: you are asking for it. :P I play normal maps and have no OOM as long as I don't play more than two hours straight. XD

Yay! My country is 0.76% of Elemental population. XD Now to check all those sweet URLs in the OP! In before the lock?

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="3" id="2766341"]There's one problem though. The player plays a channeler, not a mind of the titan. See, there's a split purpose there. The channeler wants what's best for his society. But the PLAYER knows they've been corrupted and if they take over the world, it will be hell forever. [/quote]Depending of the complexity, you may want to consider different options for that. The player can decide which path to follow: a "good" one or the "Titan" one.

Does it include chainmail bikini for the females? XD
