As long as Channelers are gimped to death... I mean, they are powerful (I make all my Champions as Channelers and make them level up together along some meat shields) but I have yet to really test them well... need more enemy armies with archers/cavalry. Huge monsters can be a problem and enemy channelers surely are too if they get area spells (11 HP channelers seem to suffer some kind of alergy to damage...).

[quote who="spider1110" reply="2" id="2729678"]can you change the allegiance to empire? i can't! the option is greayed out for me. [/quote]I haven't been able to try it yet but it sounds like it's the Beta version of the faction creator. In those times there was no Empire option in the game so they may have forgotten to remove that limit when including it (due to popular demand, don't forget that bit). You should be able to change it through the XML if you cannot wait for Stardoc

[quote who="puffpuff" reply="15" id="2729641"]I found a zip file named: Elemental1_01-2010-08-24T02-06-25-686 in the directory specified but it was 0 k in size so there is no point in posting it. [/quote]You should check if there is a .dmp file with the same name too in the same directory. Sometimes the game fails to create the .zip file (which includes that .dmp file and the debug.err in My Documents/Elemental) but generates successfully the .dmp file.

[quote quoting="post"]Might not want to allow heroes to equip more than two rings [/quote]Please, not silly D&D limits... XD Four would seem fine. Maybe six and I don't think that more than 8 would be wise. And in addition to the limitation of number of rings by Champion/Sovereign, (some) rings could be limited to 1 of each type.

[quote who="Raven X" reply="5" id="2726096"] Indeed your work here Has been invaluable to the community. This place wouldn't be the same without you, Wintersong. [/quote]Invaluable work? Me? Where? XD And obviously this place wouldn't be the same without me! The wings of a butterfly can create a hurricane in... well, somewhere far away from the buttefly. :P But thank you for being so kind. :) A bit off-topic but I would have loved some credits in the same style as the

Being release day and all that... https://forums.elementalgame.com/328955 - Boogiebac (Scott Tykoski/Me): Executive Producer - With Brad being continuously sucked into CEO tasks, this will be the first NEW project I get to head-up from conception. Will Scott see Elemental to success, or will the weight of the project crush the upstart Producer's soul, sending him into a self-destructive

[quote who="James009D" reply="1" id="2724952"]LOL, nice work. The Amazon's must be popular because that was one of the first civilizations I made too. I used the Tarth as a base, are you creating an entirely new Amazonian race? I look forward to seeing that! Also, just a note for you, you can include more then one thing in an .xml file. For example, you could include your race, the leader, and any special items in one single .xml file for distribution if you want. Makes things a little more s

[quote who="Profligate" reply="5" id="2728105"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 2Or another way to look at this story is that perhaps the developer should have made their game available through additional channels. They were unwilling to put their titles onto Impulse. Q: How many channels is Elemental going to be available from in addition to retail and Impulse?[/quote]Elemental is exclusive of Impulse (retail aside) so Steam for sure never ever. It's not l

[quote quoting="post"]I got a PM on the forums tonight from PsycoCaptain telling me I should watch the credits and that to do so I should click on the Stardock Icon in the lower right hand corner of the main menu. Boogiebac had told me a little over a month ago I would get a mention. [/quote] Wait, are you telling me that you hadn't noticed (used) the Stardock logo/button yet? O_o Even knowing that you were to get a mention??? (Hmm So you have connect

[quote who="Raven X" reply="13" id="2724843"]I agree Wintersong, they don't matter. I only brought it up because I know Jafo and a few others like to actually track these guys down if they can.[/quote]Oh, don't get me wrong, I think it's fine to mention it.

This is mod about "Amazons". I'm making it primarily for learning purposes: knowing the XMLs, messing with the tile builder, textures... Once fully finished, it shouldn't play very different from a Kingdom faction (as they are right now, if we ever reach a Twilight of the Arnor level, then this mod would require more "meat"). I wanted to add some "touches" to it but after the release and some plans by Stardock to change magic system, I may have to wait before I follow those ideas I had.

Pirates don't matter (even if some companies get paranoid about them). We, paying customers, do. They trust us to uphold the EULA, of being our own "DRM" (single player wise... I'm supposed not to talk about multiplayer), instead of forcing some kind of anti-costumer method on our game (license).

I have played most of the afternoon/evening without problems. Well, at certain point it didn't allow me to open the train units window (after some hours) and corrected itself after restarting. Hasn't happened again. But so far so good and fun. :)

[quote who="Todd Hawks" reply="18" id="2722859"]Currently, only the resources are random. Everything else is fixed (shape of the continent, position of landscape (woods, mountains), starting locations (you don't always start at the same location but the locations themselves seem fixed)). Note that there are a couple of maps, so you won't get the same map *always*. But as I said, it only took me four tries to get a repetition. Also, not only the mountain ranges or forests

[quote who="rossanderson48" reply="20" id="2722869"] And all you did was come here to whine about the whiners and complainers. Threads like these never go anywhere they just start flame wars and you the one who began it. Maybe you should practice what you try to preach eh? [/quote]Ok, just because I find it funny: did you notice that your type of answer is also totally cliché and expected in these type of situations? XD (I don't deny your argument though)

[quote who="Jarenko" reply="11" id="2722808"]It is okay for people to not like the game 100%.[/quote]Ok and natural. It's not like Stardock creating a single game for each different customer.

The limited number of seeds in the maps would be a valid concern. As I haven't played it yet and/or read about it with more detail, up to which points it's really a serious issue is something that I don't know.

Why does the people get the feeling that it was taking out for good and not just "until we have something better"? I have always supposed that latests changes to the game made the faction editor we had non optimal for our use and that's why it was moved out temporarily. I wouldn't mind the back the old faction-o-matic though. PD cheaters could open the XML created with the faction-o-matic and mod it their way anyway.
