[quote who="Infantes" reply="10" id="2641549"]I just have to comment on this topic. Because I think that it´s not that easy. "If you can´t afford it, don´t buy it!", for example. It´s quite simple - if one can´t afford a game, the company producing it will not get money from this guy. [/quote] Videogames are not in the base of Maslow's Pyramid.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="120" id="2641237"]Regarding moddability, people should be careful in setting their expectations too high on what you can mod on release. While Python is the scripting language we're using, it only can do things that we expose to it and that will be a long long process that will only begin during the last beta and continue over the next couple of years. For instance, I don't see how someone could add an espionage system into the game using even Python bec

And surely the OP expects some sympathy...

Just for the record, I'm totally against anything that involves forcing no techtrading, no espionage and/or no diplomacy. Evolution, not censorship.

[quote who="kryo" reply="3" id="2639297"]We currently have no plans for any European localizations, as most users tend to prefer English over translations in games anyway.[/quote] Due to things like long delays in getting a version translated (i.e. developers waiting to the last moment to send text files to foreign publishers or taking long time to develop translated version or now with digital releases getting in the middle), bad translations/voice overs, waiting for patche

Tactical Combat will be about 0s and 1s. It cannot get more simple than that![e digicons]8O[/e]

I'd vote game in english and manual in spanish. But it'd depend on the publisher in Spain and how much effort (and money) they want to put into translating the game. If it ever gets released in Spain (or when it finally does). Buying the game anywhere will give you a digital copy in Impulse. Not sure how patching would work if the game is translated though. Maybe translated patches for retail copies while only patches in english for digital copies?[e digicons]o_O[/e]

I'm thinking of "Dungeons as cities" or something like that. But in a more practical topic, I'm doing my tests in HTML/JavaScript (doesn't depend on IIS or Server2Go, only Windows, Notepad and JavaScript enabled! But once in serious business, Python all the way) and creating the map and dungeon on a table (each cell being a in game tile, actually). The idea is to generate the map size. Then choose the starting point to dig the first room (the entrance) with a determined size (I use 4x

Haha Yeah, I had noticed about the random map generator (and the Grid, which I like to activate) but as I didn't know about how random generators work or if Elemental will have a specific one for dungeons (walls, doors...), I decided it was good for me to actually investigate about how they work (and work with some code, and not styles, for a change) and try to do one myself. So if I have to implement one of my own for whatever the reason, to be able to do so. And if later I only ha

[quote who="Thiryn" reply="28" id="2637563"] Frogboy just stated that there are flying units in the game; by which I would assume he means Dragons.

In RPGs flying is an uber skill (unless in dungeons and similar, obviously) for a reason.

Flying creatures: It's sad that the big dragon doesn't fly. Why bother with wings? Ok, maybe he hovers but... really? Just that? I understand time constrains and the need of offering a solid released and not a million of half baked idea. I understand and respect that. But unless I can get true flying dragons decimating enemy armies with ranged breath weapon and flyby attacks... If the player didn't bother with ranged weapons/spells and/or traps to lure the drgon to attack on "foot", he d

How long does it usually take for the delivery from USA to Europe? May need to reconsider the delivery adress, for which I'd need to e-mail support about it and it'd not be a good idea to wait for the last moment (to e-mail them and for Stardock confirm that date early in August?).

[quote who="cynicalP" reply="1" id="2636733"]I was waiting for this game, but the game is getting hammered by reviewers and most gamers. It's a shame too cause a espionage game ala Mass effect definately sounded cool. Looks like Obsidian once again has created a game with great potential only to fail miserably short of the mark. Here's hoping they can patch the game to an enjoyable level. I still want to buy the game if they can salvage it. [/quote] [e digicons]o_O[/e]

But it's just one time activation which for computers with some internet access isn't so bad. It's like Mass Effect (the original) in that sense. And compared to Steamworks? It's good. Compared to Ubisoft's 24/7? It IS good. Compared to Starforce? <st
