Jules Verne? [quote who="DraekAlmasy" reply="13" id="2565697"] so if the author wishes we stop calling it "magic", he can go die in a pyre for all I care. [/quote][e digicons] You can name it "e-peen" if you want, it doesn't change the fact that there is no real magic, only possible and impossible. If in the game universe it is considered possible (real) then it's not magic (as usual understood). Unless you are in a fantasy game in which you must name it "magi

[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="3" id="2565352"]But devs talked about battles with 10 000 men. And 10 000 need to come from a city. So there will be ways to get a 20 000 or 30 000 population city. [/quote] Why should those 10,000 men come from the same city? All at the same time?

[quote who="Savyg" reply="1" id="2565305"]Yes, but they still have to follow regional restrictions. It depends on where you live. [/quote] I don't think that Stardock is going to start regional restrictions like EA or Ubisoft (to name a few...). A different matter would be if Mr Chávez had some internet adresses banned/filtered for being... "risky", which is something I don't know. But hey, I just find fascinating that in Venezuela you cannot buy "violent" games

[quote who="Aractain" reply="1" id="2554298"]Star Wars also has magic. [/quote] Star Wars is fantasy, ergo is logical they have magic. [quote who="tesb" reply="2" id="2554300"]just because the magic is accompanied with technobabble it doesn't make it any less magic [/quote] Photographs are magic. Airplanes are magic. Guns are magic. Even men riding horses can appear as mythological creatures to some. Depends on the point of view and knowledge of the vie

Lord Capitar is truly a Lord or a Lady like in the pic of the Lore section? Or is this like Tokyo Hotel? Ops, off-topic![e digicons];P[/e] Sounds good.[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] I might find some use to my abandoned Facebook account and all. [e digicons]XD[/e] Are we going to be using avatars based on Elemental like in the fifth picture? Seem quite neat. Good luck spreading the love Reactor!

[quote quoting="post"]In fact, I think the "egalitarian" trait was a direct result of a compromise between gamers that'd rather have a more realistic medieval society and people who'd rather have fantasyish armies with both men and women.[/quote] A bit off topic maybe but I feel that egalitarian is, usually, a must in a fantasy game (unless lore forbids it). Different worlds are not just for different laws of "physics" (and/or "magic" for some of you), they can also mean different evo

[quote who="MagicwillNZ" reply="11" id="2564505"]I sincerely hope Warcraft I or II. [/quote] Due to irritating mirror effect in the factions of Warcraft II (game I loved anyway), I'd prefer Warcraft I mod. But yeah, anything without Arthas and company, please!

[quote who="Rasiya" reply="28" id="2563955"]What about Men call them Heroes and Fallen call them Champions? [/quote] Hero is tied to villain.

[quote who="AAndrewKnight" reply="15" id="2563925"] It doesn't go against the lore of the game.[/quote] It does. Unless you don't consider magic to spend Essence to bring the land to life. [quote who="AAndrewKnight" reply="16" id="2563934"] Why not? If you like to play as a magic-user nobody prevents you to.[/quote] No one prevents you because all the leaders are magic users. It's not a matter of choice. And currently the only way not to have any magic spells

Some space TBS mod (possibly original one and not just Star Trek/Star Wars/Galactic Civilizations/Master of Orion... mod). More interested in a Legend of the Five Rings (or anything japanese/chinese [fantasy] based, I suppose) mod though. Or a land based mod that mixes science and magic, allowing me to play with [arcane/techno] mechas and [arcane/techno] wizards. Not holding my breath while waiting for this though.[e digicons]:\[/e] I'd like to see a mod with an a

[quote who="TCores" reply="1" id="2562721"]It's meant to be an optional mode,[/quote] It gets tiresome to read that so often. Quite a bit of a habit on this forum. Not that I'm against optional modes or that this is a personal attack (because it's not). With the current mechanics, the idea offer the problem of "random" combat and die before you have the chance to create your first city. Without city, game over. Not that it cannot happen now, but only if you decide not&nbs

[quote who="=Outlaw=" reply="3" id="2562496"]But what I feel your idea is doing is giving too much of an advantage to the extreme. So sure, no one is forcing you, but if you don't you'll be at a disadvantage. [/quote]Imaginary disadvantages you see. How can you be at a disadvantage when the game main line is a mix of magic and warfare? (with late emphasis in magic, I'd say due to those planned populous like spells) If the three modes are well done, no disadvantages. This is

[quote who="Cerevox" reply="25" id="2562356"]My sov wears the pants cause he has the doom spells. And there will be no divorce in my kingdom. There will instead be a public event called ex-wife and lion. It will be just like a divorce except i keep all my stuff, and i get to sell tickets.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="8" id="2562045"]They're just far less stupid about it then Ubisoft is. [/quote] Ubisoft's defies and surpases the term "stupid". Please choose another negative adjective that defines it better.[e digicons]:-"[/e]

[quote who="Cerevox" reply="17" id="2561190"]I always play evil.[/quote]I prefer good. Nothing feels better than to put those silly emos that oppose my zealous goodness in their place. :P Or neutral if it's like Gal Civ II where many times it seemed just stupid to pick good options (ah, the sacrifices one had to do to play Altarians!).

This game is supposed to be epic. So why not start with (epic) city upkeep? XD

Ah, so that link is different... Damn, I was just checking Impulse (logical option for me XD ) and I was totally clueless.[e digicons]:blush:[/e] Thank ye. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="89" id="2560604"]You can upgrade it now successfully. Earlier today, before the forum restore, Kyro posted here saying that it works now, although that post is obviously gone now. I upgraded with no problems. [/quote]I saw that and no one explains how which is why I have no idea of how. That I might eventually end with two copies of the game doesn't mean I want to buy them now* (I'd not be asking about upgrading and just preorder a Limited Edition w

[quote who="econundrum1" reply="19" id="2560312"] But for instance while creating my sovereign at the moment I can spend 5 points getting 15 Strength or 0 points to get +8 attack by equiping a broadsword. [/quote]Notice that increasing or decreasing your stats currently does not affect your Sovereign at all. You could have no Strenght at all and your attack would still be the same that the weapon chosen. Once pointed out the placeholder, I agree with the need of cost for equipment like w

[quote who="Tridus" reply="8" id="2559900"] That said, I'm hoping the customization options in terms of sovereign clothing are just cosmetic and don't affect stats. I like to get into custom characters, and having to always give them a sword or else would be lame. (Or if they do have stats, the stats are balanced.) [/quote]Frogboy (I think it was him) said once that the items the Sovereign carried were to have stats associated. And I hope it's like that in the game. With some extra
