What comes next is totally silly and therefore I post it here instead of the Ideas section. I simply wish that, even knowing that I'll be able to tweak screens as I want, the default character creation screen was more like that of Titan Quest. Altough in that game the character creation was more simple that the brain activity of a dead rat, the screen was certainly cool and epic (imho). Instead of having our character framed inside of a parchment (as pretty as it may be), I'd pref

Bah! Still waiting for a real (non carebear) company to force real name, middle name (if any), first surname, second surname (if any), sex, age, main adress, secondary adress (if any), phone number (if any), mobile phone number (if any), main e-mail account, secondary e-mail account (if any), tertiary e-mail account (if any), personal website(s) (if any), a whole selection of personal preferences (so Google can spam offer you more prec

[quote quoting="post"]The Portal 2 trailer is awesome. @ the Steam haters: Don't even start. I'll buy this even if I have to run Outlook, BitTorrent and Notepad all at once in the background while simultaneously being logged into facebook and hulu to play it. [/quote]Totally stupid. Being a Valve game, it makes no sense to complain about Steamworks and/or Steam Store. :P

Being this a constantly evolving and changing Beta, I suggest Cheese.

[quote who="KWAiRT" reply="18" id="2672624"] Figures as much. Thanks for info. Nothing stopping Stardock from dropping one in my email box though. I guess owners of Galciv2 and Sins get the short end of the stick? Where is the coupon for the people that support this company and BUY their products? Sad really. Sign up on a forum and get a coupon. Support the developers and get nothing I see how it works [/quote] [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]

You find anything in this forum by reading every subforum, one thread at a time. (has anyone hear of a forum search function that is actually worth the database space?)

This is excellent news. I'd not forbid minors from expanding but to make them more distinct from big ones, that expansion should be a low priority for them (they may have a champion and stuff, but they should lack Revive Land spell plus just be barely surviving in their patch of land... which makes them minor).

Races of Men seems fine considering that to get some egalitarism, you need to pick up the corresponding trait (which would indicate that by default, only exceptional women has some important roles: channeler, adventurer). Hey, history is written by the victorious with the blood of the defeated. :P But if we must go for "politcally correct" naming: Human Races. And yet, races isn't very.... correct, so maybe: "Human Phenotypes". BUt it's not very fantasy-like so maybe "Human Lineages".

[quote quoting="post"]Paul and I decided that we really wanted players to be able to get a dog somehow during the course of the game.[/quote] Dogs? nah. Cats. Big cats. Really big cats. Orange with black stripes. Or white with black stripes. Tigers if possible. My druids would love to have some wolf companions too. Good thing that we have modding.

[quote who="Raven X" reply="11" id="2671715"]Just as Ubisoft's DRM trend is catching on. Soon EVERY GAME that's made will need to be "Online" to be played and people will have to sign up and pay for expensive services that violate our privacy and bank accounts just so we can continue to play games with our PC's.[/quote]The end of the world (as in Human World) isn't near enough, imho.

Clone #43897345834673 of famous game/book/movie/comic/anime/manga/cartoon/pictogram unless it's well done and the theme interests me. I'll be always more openminded about new IPs than to mods about something that already exists. (

I had one CTD with a game and in the next game start decided to load the autosave (I don't save the game, just use the autosave feature). The game froze when I selected the autosave file and clicked the Load button. No .zip was create, neihter a .dmp so I can only include the debug.err --> Debug

Would the City Skills on level up lock/unlock new city building options for that city? And/or new possible skills for next level ups?

I don't like the idea. The only magical "presence" is in the Shards from which the channelers get their stuff. Plus it going totally contrary to "make a sacrifice to revive the land". Ahout Essence being broken, I haven't been able to test too much lately so I can only agree that something seems missing but cannot go beyond that comment.

Once I have really started working on the mod (not that all these walls of text and planning don't count), I'd consider about asking for collaborators. But first I must have started messing with code because it'd mean that I have something solid to show (posts are very nice but mean nothing unless there is stuff to back it up) and what exactly the mod is about would be already and truly defined (so people can really be sure if the mod actually interests them*). As for the little basta

[quote who="bilskis" reply="18" id="2669372"]Haha, all the swedish are evil. Makes me happy. You might want to revise the name "Små Jävlarna", it would translate to "little buggers" rather than the direct translation of small devils which you might have intended. "Little buggers clan" is what I would translate it to, this might be what you want but it sounds odd to me. I suggest something like "Små Vättars Klan" since "en vätte" is a mix of goblin and fa

[quote who="Autarkhos" reply="11" id="2669349"]I'd much rather have "just an engineer" over the new Peter Molyneux. Fame went straight to that guy's head. [/quote]I wish Stardock were to do their own version of "The Movies". Even with all its (maaany) limitations, that has been one of my favourite games ever.

If I'm allowed to say it, it makes sense. Not them or orcs or other similar factions should use Gold. In fact and if possible, all the factions at the very beginning shouldn't use it. With time, some research and some cities, some factions could go beyond and start using structures and units that need Gold. But I somehow see strange that a newly reborn society will jump directly to use Gold. Time and testing will say more about this topic. Meanwhile, and why not, I may as w

[quote who="Sylenall" reply="75" id="2669291"] I assume if I ever upgrade to 64 or a new operating system I would be able to re-install the game and automatically have it upgraded to 64bit right? [/quote]Once the 64bit is out, Impulse will take care of (re)installing what is best for your computer so no need to worry.

[quote who="Sylenall" reply="73" id="2669207"]So can anybody confirm if the pewter dragon is an actual physical object I can decorate my room with? Also I live in Canada, is there anyway I could order the special edition from impulse and still get into the beta without getting screwed on shipping costs from the us? Another question about this 64bit version... Does that mean my 32bit vista wont run it? Or that computers that can have to choos

(Probably) Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3? Plus Elemental expansion pack. Maybe some of the mods for Elemental (depending on how they develop)
