Try researching some Recruitment tech. Won't help with groups if you don't increase lots of charisma but for lonely vagrants helps.

[quote quoting="post"]Just got done playing a game and one thing that struck me as really odd is how quickly you can wipe out the computer.[/quote] Currently there is no real AI in the game. Armies start with a few people and late game with some thousands (how many exactly yet to see).

Elemental is a Turn Based Strategy game. The plan is that using Elemental modding capabilities, you could create an RPG (like Frogboy plans to do), an RTS... The link you are interested in is: https://forums.elementalgame.com/376437

Marriage is in. Males with the Damsel in distress (if you make the quest work) and females with the Knight (same as damsel...). Children are too.

If the equipment remains as it is now with only some items having cost/bonuses (I don't think so but just in case), it would be interesting. If all the equipment must have a cost (except simple clothes, obviously) then you'd be right, Outlaw. But then we also have the debate of "If I spend points for equipment of my Sovereign and later I can give him better equipment in game, am I not gimping him in comparison to someone who only buys stats when creating the Sovereign?"

Partially updated. Better late than never and I don't want to risk to wait more and start next week and find myself like these last weeks (swamped in work). Need to find the reference to Dinasty system being more egalitarian in sending children off in marriage, add somehow all the stuff about city building and pioneers, some bits about general combat, Impulse Reactor...

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="2" id="2589590"] We're hoping our writing team can come up with a great word that stands for 'Turn' but doesnt conform to any preconceived notion of 'time' (Cycle, Phase, Rotation...something list that, only good). [/quote] "Page" and be done with it.[e digicons];P[/e]

Currently, I can see how some pieces of equipment in the Sovereign creation screen have a cost associated to them. That cost, in character points, offer in exchange some extra bonuses to the Sovereign (like armors offering defense bonus). Although I like the idea it has a little tiny problem: what if I want to use the best looking armour just because of the visual factor but not for the defense bonus that the Devs has given to it? Or what if I wanted my favourite piece of cosmetic equipment t

It's been made separate so you can use the same Sovreign with different races every game if you wish so. (Human Sovereign with Human race; same Human Sovereign now with a Fallen race...) I don't see them changing it anytime soon (if ever?). That said, I already said long time ago that an option to create a Sovereign locked to a single race would be nice (with extra options that wouldn't be available to normal Sovereigns that could be played with any race).

Access block ftw. [e digicons]:P[/e]

Me too.

Cant we please have a system where when a child is born, male or female, you can choose whether they are married off or become a full hero? Last time I checked (some time ago), it was to be changed in that way. I dont see why all heroes should be men especially in a world where magick is the source of power, not physical strength. Cant hurt me with a sword if I've just turned you into a slug or my mind controlled thral

[quote who="Raven X" reply="4" id="2586864"] Then by all means, Please, Offer Solutions. [/quote] Unfortunately, I don't because (currently) I have none to offer. I expect to meet my deadline tomorrow (so far so good) and then I should have the time for true brainstorming. Right now (in rl) I'm trying not to emulate Michael Douglas in Falling Down... Luckily for my client, I lack access to guns. ¬.¬ Oh, playing multiplayer has the advantage of "number of gam

I don't see how you would feel obligated to play Multiplayer. The items "could" be tradable in Multiplayer, but they don't have to be. I just thought it would add a great reason for Diplomacy to matter during Multiplayer games. People "feeling forced" isn't the same as "forced" but it's enough to start being loud about it. Dawn of War 2 cosmetic multiplayer achievements argument come to mind (lucky that those were easily moddable in). *shrug* <dt st

How cool would that be? Awesomely awesome, that's how cool that would be!!! From certain points of view, surely. But not from all the points of view. This gives the player a reason to play multiple games The player should already have plenty (and more important bunch) of reasons to play multiple games... Fail Game if not. Not that I have reasons against more reasons to. You might find a Rare Item of Power once every 20 or so games, but to find the right ma

Just give me asian props so I can create my custom japanese/chinese/vietnamese/korean... faction.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="92" id="2579511"] HOWEVER, what we are dispensing with is the "Oh, you don't have horses, no problem, it'll just take longer to build your unit." What? So if I wait long enough I can have a pony too?[/quote] Yay![e digicons]\o/[/e] Er... not about the pony.

I have updated a bit. Not much time lately (damn deadlines, work supposedly for two that ends being for one* without altering the deadlines, and taking work from the office to home for the holidays**) so probably missing pieces here and there depending of the devs' activities on the forum (especially out of Developers journals area) as I have only being able to read some threads. So if there is something missing/outdated, post it here. No promises that I'll be able to update

[quote who="Bodyless" reply="35" id="2570156"] Quoting Wintersong, reply 25 And in case it wasn't obvious either for any of the readers, I don't expect pregnancy to make it in the game at all. Especially because I'd demand some extra bits for the city population growth systems and blah blah blah. Oh, and I don't see Stardock implementing it anyway. But theoretical discussions are fine anyway. <br

Peseta![e digicons]\o/[/e] I could make many jokes about naming the gold piece as "Sun" and silver piece as "Moon" (no idea bout copper ones though). But only because I'm silly. Not that I couldn't make jokes about naming the gold piece as "Royal" and silver piece as "Noble" (whatever for copper...again). We could always go the "Shield" route. Or the "Hawk" one, or the "Lion" one. Already mentioned, "Soul" is a good option too (if there is a soul concept in that world) and "So

It has it's faults (Steamworks, I'm looking at you, you not being the worst thing ever just due to things like Starforce, limited activations...; the user agreement includes* that they can ban you from your games without warning and without giving you any reason, in that moment or later, if they are in the mood for it;...) but surely it's a polished s

[quote who="Aroddo" reply="126" id="2569026"] Locking threads hints rather strongly at "must not". Sorry Stardock, but your behaviour and attitude (despite any claims you may make to the contrary) largely marks you as right wing minions. No problem, your forum, your domestic authority. Just don't bullshit us by pretending to be "fair and balanced". [/quote] Stop breaking the rules and you won't get threads locked? It's like a thief complaining of being
