[quote who="Tridus" reply="8" id="2717166"] Quoting Raven X, reply 7 Of course we all know graphics should come secondary to Gameplay, but those character models....horrendous, simply horrendous. I can draw and animate and steaming pile of cat shit and make it look better then those characters... I'm going to hold you to that when the Dragonlance mod comes out. [/quote][e digicons]}:)[/e]

[quote who="Raven X" reply="53" id="2717158"] I appreciate the vote of confidence, my friend. My "live performance" days are loooong behind me though. [/quote]That's a very bad excuse! "My LE copy has to cross the ocean (hopefully well protected and above water) so it's more probable that someone from the USA makes it first. If that was not the case, I doubt that a webcam or the mobile cam are good enough for such task. Plus I'm awful opening packag

[quote who="Raven X" reply="9" id="2717110"]Ok, Hey Frogboy, if I go to my local Wal-Mart and take a pic of them selling it early can I have mine now? [/quote]If you do that for sure prove that the information is correct. Please, no Photoshops like Steam's... :P I'd not mind my LE copy arriving today or tomorrow. A pity that living in the "Old Continent" makes that not very possible.

[quote who="Lorthirk" reply="9" id="2717091"]For sure it's been answered before, but I got to go in minutes and don't have time to search it [/quote]Then we will sit down and wait for you to have the time to search for it and let us know the answer. Really. :P

Once you get your LE, you will be able to touch/lick/eat/swallow it, ergo real. :P

[quote who="Zoatibix" reply="36" id="2716675"]I've got a boxed copy for Sins of a Solar Empire sitting next to my PC but I won't be able to buy E:WoM in my local high street? That kinda sucks. If the game was £25 to download then I'd be happy to pay up but £32 just for a download seems a little steep given that the middleman is being cut out of the deal [/quote]The thing is, did Galc Civ II's expansions or SoaSE's expansions see retail presence or were they just d

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="21" id="2716623"]IMHO, you could almost have counted the v2.0 build as a free expansion. If I remember correctly, there was a pretty nice list of features in that one...I remember being really proud of what we had crammed into it [/quote]Well, yeah. But if I were a new costumer and were checking Impulse, I'd only see two (even if one "counts" as two). I'm quite sure that Elemental is bound to follow a similar path of awesomeness too. :) Already saving for

[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="14" id="2716636"]Only reason I wanted a boxed copy was for a physical manual[/quote]Waste of money in any case? I think that Frogboy mentioned in another thread that it was already outdated.

[quote who="Raven X" reply="10" id="2716615"]It will take a billion million years!!![/quote]As long as it arrives safely to my hands, I don't mind. XD Would hate to lose my copy due to Epic Fail Package Delivery. :/

[quote who="brass1983" reply="8" id="2716356"]Galciv2 had 3 xpacs! three![/quote]Two. Dark Avatar and then Twilight of the Arnor. Both so game changing that make the idea of playing vanilla Gal Civ II unthinkable (for those of us who liked them).

Quickly! Who did took note of the Serial??? :P Sweet LE. Sweet. :) (Don't forget to put by mistake a real copy of your book in my LE instead of the flyer. ;) )

So now that Beta is over, we only have to wait for the usual: Game Stop breaking the street relase date.:P

There be booty here ready to be plundered by the likes of you!:P Time to get some (real) interest in the European market and stablish a foothold somewhere. There is some space for rent just under where I live so you could stablish yourselves there. Just saying.[e digicons]:-"[/e]

[quote who="joasoze" reply="35" id="2716204"]Remember Starforce? Heroes V was supposed to come with that horrible thing. It got ditched pretty close to release. [/quote]I got some ranks in "Knowledge: Starforce" in those days just by reading the forums. Even UbiDRM seems nice in comparison to that "thing". If HoMM VI finally uses GOO/Impulse::Reactor, I'll gift some digital copies for some users here* just to celebrate. :P * where here = <a href="https://forums.elementalg

[quote who="Tiberonmagnus" reply="4" id="2716047"]Even after I get the game I'll spend probably a lot of time playing it to get the general understanding of the mechanics, and while doing so playing around with the mod tools. [/quote]Totally agree. [quote who="Civfreak" reply="5" id="2716063"]According to the devs, mostly anything should be possible if you have the required coding knowledge, which is in Python.[/quote]And that the devs have exposed the proper things to Python.</p

[quote who="otakucore2" reply="4" id="2716052"]UI modding is supposed to be possible. I think I read a post from a dev mentioning they used Stardock's own commercial (and freeware?) UI tool to make it all. (Even if it's commercial version only, I think it was pretty inexpensive.) Looking forward to see what's possible with that. You could definitely change the fonts and quest interface to make it look like a DOS command prompt. (Not sure that's what you're g

About the 2D, never played IV, hated to death III's style, nothing special about I's and II's... wow, best art ever! I wouldn't mind new games using a similar style.

Very entertaining and interesting. :) Need new logo pic of Elemental for this forum. That one is... semiinvisible.

[quote who="MagicwillNZ" reply="2" id="2715571"]I'd rather have "decisions" ala Europa Universalis, honestly. I don't really want to lose because of a text adventure.[/quote]Hahaha XD I'm not actually so fond of the "Victory or death!" adventures, and if I were to make any, much like in Tactical Battles (generated by quests or normal ones), the Sovereign would manage to "make a strategic retreat".

First screenshots: http://www.gamershell.com/pc/heroes_of_might_and_magic_vi/screenshots.html[/quote]Graphics/art similar to V, some nice improvements on them though (Haven looks sweet), bigger battlefield?
