[quote who="borba671" reply="5" id="2625677"] Now now, let's read the thread.[/quote]Now now, let's know the game we are talking about. Elemental only has one type of "Champion" (unlike Heroes and Champions from MoM).

Three Headed Pirate Ninja Monkey-Dragons?

[quote who="Denryu" reply="53" id="2636375"] Damn dude. It's early beta still! [/quote]Even if it wasn't, gameplay first.

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="78" id="2632112"]And one more time; can we please get this stickied now?[/quote]

[quote who="CapnWinky" reply="5" id="2636242"]Same old stuff.. [/quote]For the locals, yeah. For noo newcomers out there, not. We need "Special Usual Suspects Edition" articles for those of us who spend too much time here (lurking or not).

Hadn't it be confirmed like weeks ago by BoogieBac? That said, nice pic.[e digicons]:drool:[/e]

What's wrong with having the engine with the name of a fruit? If we were talking about naming the engine after female personal hygiene products, then maybe. But fruits? *waits for the Banana engine*

Awesome![e digicons]\o/[/e]

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="8" id="2635275"]Ok, some trivial and unimportant stuff: Am I the only one, who dislikes the appearance/style of the borders? [/quote]You mean the city's?

I'd worry more for this (in IE at least): https://www.elementalgame.com/lore/kingdoms Mentioned long time ago and still broken.

[quote who="TCores" reply="7" id="2632655"]To be fair it would be more accurate to say "pre-purchase" [/quote]Until you get into the Beta, when it has become a purchase.

I haven't played Indigo Prophecy so I cannot compare to it. The parts where you have to choose a conversation option are timed (i.e. try to hit on the female handler or treat her with respect, arrest someone or extort him,...). E-mail reply options aren't. I didn't comment on it but the game uses Check Points to save your progress. If will save automatically when you reach one and you can create your own save games. When you load a game, you start in the corresponding Ch

[quote who="Raven X" reply="11" id="2633796"]The only thing I'm not liking about the game is the limited time it gives to answer conversations or to take action. They say they do this to add a more "cinematic" effect to the dialog in the game, and it works quite well, I guess I'm just complaining because I'd like a few more seconds longer to make my choice. My other complain is with the one mini game where you have to line up the two sets of numbers and the numbers are all moving b

[quote who="Raven X" reply="7" id="2633363"] at Wintersong. That's more or less "Spot On" I'd say. You've actually gotten farther then me so far. I stayed up till about 6 this morning (last night). It took me until 3:30 or so to get it downloaded, might have been a bit later then that. Then I played through the Starting Training missions, Twice, up to the point where you first get to "Saudi Arabia" and get your first Safe-House. I'm going to start over again one-more-tim

I'll let Raven for the professional reviews. :) I'll stick to comment some things of the game. I'm a slow player (in every sense of those words). I just finished the first Story Arc, also known as Saudi Arabia, and my opinion of the game is mostly positive. Price 50€: Bad. But if I paid it's because: Obsidian (I like them, sue me), Spy (action) RPG, no Steamworks (being distributed by SEGA, there was that chance...), I could afford the price. Still, quite the price.

[quote quoting="post"] There will be plenty of expansion packs for Elemental in the years ahead. [/quote][e digicons]:drool:[/e] [e digicons]:drool:[/e] [e digicons]:drool:[/e] [e digicons]:drool:[/e] Hmm Beta 4 around July... that's quite near in time.

[quote who="OsirisDawn" reply="43" id="2630031"]My suggestion: Make it an option at game start. Include something like Cost to build city : 1) Essence (5) (on dead land after the first) 2) Essence (2) &n

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="12" id="2630409"]I can't wait to see this stuff in action. [/quote]A pity we have to wait for Elemental release.

Man, how could I miss this pic from the internets? Is it supposed to look similar to this? Me wants.

For games published by Stardock, the Facebook thing is quite useless if you are trying to minimize accounts. Stick to Impulse account as that will be the one needed for updates. For the rest, options are good. I wonder if it'll evolve to allow developers to include their own systems (Paradox using their own instead of Impulse or Facebook, for example). Of course, w hen The Big Google owns us all, these kind of debates will be useless.

[quote who="Unknown924" reply="3" id="2630147"]Given what Gamestop pulled with Demigod, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have Elemental on release day(or at all). [/quote]I doubt very very much that they won't be selling Elemental (and try to screw Sardock releasing it days before the Digital Release). But if that were to happen, I swear to buy an extra digital copy to celebrate (that someone punishes them for the repeated and TOTALLY intentional early releases). imho<

WINNER. TAKE. ALL. Yes and no. N is fine. Defender should get a slight bonus to morale the longer the battle goes on tough? N should be influenced by the size of the armies (and/or type of units and/or level) of both sides. Retreat should be possible. Just add a check in the options menu to disable it. :P I know it can drag a bit the game but harassers need to be able to retreat!!! So Retreat must be possible or at least some units could have a training option that allo
