[quote who="StarReaper" reply="1" id="2761785"]If you do not have enough money alot of times they wont speak to you. Probably should switch this to a screen that simply informs you ya cant make it worth for them to join up yet. [/quote]? The Recruit button tooltips tells you how much you need to recruit him if you actually lack the needed funds.
Test... of will failed.
[quote who="Suunman" reply="4" id="2760845"]I like the idea of lairs getting bigger and then splintering into smaller satellite lairs if they are not dealt with. but only in the wilderness not in the kingdoms... [/quote]Bandits totally disagree, especially when dealing with rich kingdoms/empires.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="11" id="2761323"]I think it was meant to trick us into expanding but fell short due to our superior Intelignce ability. I recommend they change the tech to still give us more resources but in a global fashion that reveals actual hidden resources across the map regardless of player position as the description led many if us to believe.

[quote who="Phazon88" reply="5" id="2761408"]I would be surprised if this did not happen in Elemental eventually. It would fit in so naturally with the Adventure side of the game. It would require a fair bit of work creating dungeons for specific quests so it sounds like it'd be an expansion feature rather than something in a free update. [/quote]As Frogboy mentioned it, free update material.
"Monster Economy" ruins game - this is an Adventure game not a strategy/wargame What? O_o I thought it was a turn based strategy game with RPG elements. O_o
[quote who="BoydofZINJ" reply="100" id="2761328"]Some of us are just shocked at the poor quality of a recent purchase. Pretend you got a fancy new Italian sports car...[/quote]A videogame cannot compare to a car. Neither to an apple. Neither to a shoe. I understand what you are trying to do but with examples like that that ignore the nature of software, it won't work. Can you patch/fix an apple that got released faulty? Can you wait some weeks, months or even years to buy that ONE apple
You would like to create a new UnitModelType in the raceconfig and similars where you define the models and characteristics for your elven race, and make all your elves UnitModelType as HighElfMale and HighElfFemale, for example. And all the items that you want them to use (like clothes or armours... same for faces, eyes, hair...) must have something like: KingdomFemale Obviously, instead of KingdomFema
[quote who="Nick-Danger" reply="36" id="2760565"] we're in shock and we're mourning. Let's not over-react [/quote]But you are. O_o Not that you are the only ones, but you are. It's not just the problem of one side, be it "Frogcult says Frogboy is God and therefore he is always right", "We are the good guys because we criticise" or "I paid $50 for the game and therefore I own Stardock". <img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/a
Because Frogboy asked to move on, I'll pass the excellent opportunity to flame and... move on. (so you cannot say that I don't try :P ) Anyway, when the dust settles, Stardock will be still here. Some of us too. (keeping posting privileges XD )
[quote who="wayninja" reply="7" id="2759048"]Seriously, I really, really, really want to like this game, but after playing 3 sandbox games now, I just have 0 interest to start another as I know exactly how it will go... [/quote]You take gaming from the wrong angle. You never force yourself to life or dislike a game. You play it and feel whatever it makes you feel. [quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="2758877"] 1.

Most people likes mods about copyrighted things. No way you would ever see those in Impulse. Original projects and such, I think that it would be nice as long as they are worthy of it (be it in content and/or cost).
[quote who="Raven X" reply="11" id="2759809"] Oh no, no no no. You can't get away with saying "true orcs are GREEN" and then say you have black and reddish orcs in your Mod. Which is it? Because in my book, which corresponds with old school D&D, says that all orcs Don't have to be green . Tolkien's orcs aren't all green either [/quote]Warhammer Orcs and Orks are green. D&D cartoon orcs are green. D&D orc pictures have greenish tones. Think green ! (Tolki
[quote who="revjwh" reply="4" id="2759774"]Cannibalism: +1 food resource (for the baby-eaters so they can feel good - c'mon throw them a bone... heh.) [/quote]As tender as the baby flesh may be, it would be stupid for them to cut their population growth in such way (unless they go the Spartan way... but eating the "unfit" kids). +1 food resource for eating the old people sounds better (Soylent Green!!!!)
[quote quoting="post"]At it's Core, Elemental is a pretty kick ass and fun game. Of course right now you have to get past the technical issues and balance issues and fact that a lot of it isn't fleshed out or balanced well and there's not a lot of help in the UI, But, once you get past that and get into the game-play there IS a Very FUN Game there even if some aspects are bland currently. [/quote] If you take away technical issues, Elemental isn't the best game out there but it's
As far as my memory goes, Civ IV had a rough release with serious issues. No one remembers that user that made a patch to solve some serious memory issues? No one remember the huge version number that the patch that made the game playable had? (still unplayable in biggers maps though, that was corrected in the next patch) Maybe I come from an alternate universe where Civ IV was unplayable out of the box. Game mechanics wise, it was solid though.
XD I'm mostly joking because considering how many people were crying that there were no elves (high elves, dark elves, sylvan elves, pink elves, magical elves, protoelves...) and more exotic races, I find surprising that we still haven't got a thread with a release of an elven race (I'm not even saying faction, just race). Or Orc. Which are the two easiest races to add right now (elves won't be sylvan and orcs not savage enough but it's a start).
No one is forced under any circumstance to preorder/prepurchase/buy a game. No one is forced to buy a game on release. No one is forbidden from waiting for the game to be relased, reading some reviews and then decide if their hard earned money should be spent in the game or not. If you consider important to make informed decisions when purchasing food, a house or a new car, the same goes for videogames. And unlike food or a house (or even a damn car) which can be considered a must hav
Changes to the Core files in the English directory would require to... recompile? the data.zip file, which is used instead of the XML files as a way to load faster the game. I'm not sure how it does work as I don't mod core files but some threads here talk about it (something about a command line to do it). Maybe one of the resident experts will post here about it.
[quote who="Raven X" reply="118" id="2759204"]Seriously though, I DO think there should be "some" some-what scantily clad females, And males with their shirts off with bulging biceps. Did you guys see the Urxen skin I did? Did you notice that I posted a pic of him with no armor up top and I skinned his entire chest and back? Notice the rippling muscles and hair? Even though they are a monster race I wanted them to look cool and powerful, and to a female, maybe even attractive. Is that "realis
So many people complaining about not having enough races, that where were the MoM races... And I'm still waiting for someone releasing an elven mod. It has been more than a couple of weeks!! Really! I'm quite sure that Raven is on it for Dragonlance but his bias to undead has taken the best of him. :P It's not like it was the most difficult thing to do. Create some new race, call it elven (High Elves type as we lack "sylvan" thingies), use some Wraith faces (remember: pointy e
Texts for menus and similars are in the installation folder of the game, more precisely: Elemental/data/English/elemental.str Plus all the .xml files there that inlude the names of objects, descriptions... Notepad++ is enough to work with the .str and the .xml files.
