With all due respect: [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]

Why the apology?

I don't remember Regal description right now but maybe they don't need to be exclusive. What I really mean is that there could be cases where it would make sense that you can have at the sae time some mertis and flaws that form a "value/effect" point of view contradict each other. If you picked Totally Blind, you shouldn't be able to pick Eagle Eyes. But picking Hated shoudn't prevent you from picking Royal Blood. About costs... not sure. Weaknesses shouldn't just be a "Point Source".

Would be cool if between this week (that is being gentle with me) and next one I could have here all the details of the most important systems/problems/ideas. Once done, I'd go back to lurking and keep working in silence while knowing that people can come here and get an idea of what I want, would like, and things that I have to consider to be ready for Beta 5. That said, something I wrote two months ago (with a little update) plus a temp list of monsters that could be in Dying Sun (f

How are you going to determine if 70% of beta testers support moving to beta 2? d100 + Forum Modifier + Stardock Modifier

I do see formations in the newests screens.[e digicons]o_O[/e]

The .zip already includes the debug.err in it. Just saying as reference for anyone who didn't know.

Ok, I didn't get it. Explain for the dummy.

Who say they didn't kill her in the end? Or thatafter the failure the old man somehow was able to pay for the rescue to the bandits? (maybe he had the money all along but didn't want to pay if someone could do it for free or cheaper) Some quests could be repeatable if failed. This one? I don't know. Depends on Stardock.

I'm not expert in Dragonlance lore/story/characters/... Just read the original trilogy, the one about Takishis Knight's and another one about the twins going nuts. Companions as Sovereigns or as Champions... Uff. Which is your definition of Sovereign? It'd seem more logical to have them as Champions? That of heavily scripted to follow the storyline... Europa Universalis 2? XD I'd go with the broader scale. And I like the idea of having my own faction with the proper c

[e digicons]:P[/e] Unless it's purely a question of visuals which is unkown (Tormy's pics don't let us see menus or anything about the combat itself, unlike the first but very old screen with the sqaured

Hey! My description is "just" four lines. Is that some kind of reference to my usual walls of text? [e digicons];P[/e]

[quote who="larienna" reply="20" id="2593631"]it is really hard to give a goof thematic reason why you would get asian people in a fantasy game. [/quote]Make the game based on asian fantasy and not western one. There, done. Now let's go to as why it's really hard to give a goof thematic reason why you would get african people in a fantasy game... Sorry but I didn't really get the point. Are we talking of physiologial features developed during adaptation to the envirome

Yay for double post but here I go! [e digicons]:P[/e] Big questions of the day: What is a Sovereign While Heroes are the distant stars in the night sky, Sovereigns are suns. But who are they? What do they do? The definition of what a Sovereign is and what he can do has a quite serious ripple effect in many of the other systems of the game. Sovereign creation Purely D&D rules or more in Elemental style? Pure

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="60" id="2593255"] However, I hope that we can start to work on mods before the retail version gets released. [I suppose the answer is yes, since we gonna have a modding beta as well.] [/quote]As soon as Beta 5 starts, there will be mods. But I expect some rollbacks here and there while adjustments are done, so I'd not expect to start seriously but to start digging into its potential and start testing things.

[quote who="Raven X" reply="5" id="2593238"] That and do everything we can to talk Stardock into doing a X-Com clone re-make next after Elemental. [/quote] Next is an RPG (unless they have a second group ready for game development). I'll frown upon those who oppose the development of the RPG as the next game after Elemental.

[quote who="Supreme Shogun" reply="132" id="2592407"] I agee. I like that there is a minimum distance, but its not enough. [/quote] It's a tiny test map with four opponents. We need some room for extra cities to test things. Expect minimum distance to increase once things are more stable/defined.

[quote who="XeronX" reply="151" id="2592819"]Quest: Hole in Reality A set of ruins has a hole to the elemental plane of water. Once the quest becomes active every 20 turns that it is not completed a square around the ruins turns to swamp. Longer it goes the more swamp you end up with. [/quote] Haha. Reminds me of an old article I read of an old Dungeon Magazine (I think). The author explained how his players had found some kind of waterskin/bott

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="6" id="2592775"]Can I add you to the list yet? Considering the amount of planning you've done, I'd say this is past the "hypothetical" point, but that might just be me [/quote] Well, it's not like I ever had the power to actually prevent you from adding it, right? :P We could always justify it saying that the top image of the thread is the actual splash screen of the mod (which is true). XD I'll keep considering it hypothetical until Beta 5 though. :P

[quote who="Aractain" reply="26" id="2592769"]Are you sure it isn't just one person emailing you a lot. Could be Wintersong, or maybe Raven X (that avatar makes me suspicious for some reason). [/quote] What can I say? I didn't have enough with making Stardock close Fogbuz for the public. :P [quote who="Frogboy" reply="37" id="2592952"] Beta 2 could last 2 weeks. Beta 3 is the key date. [/quote] Beta 2... 2 weeks? Wow.

[quote who="Solam" reply="4" id="2592346"]wow that's pretty impressive.... [/quote]Thanks.[e digicons]:blush:[/e] I hope you can say the same once I can start doing real stuff about it.[e digicons]:grin:[/e] (And minor updates to some of the previous posts with info.)

[quote quoting="post"]If I discover something fun in Beta 1 and 2 I will endeavor to make sure it’s removed so that people aren’t spending too much time playing the game. [/quote] Bugs ARE fun!!!!
