Dear Stardock, is the Collector's Edition still an option for those that want something more than the Normal Edition and happen to not get the Limited Edition? It's gone? "Elemental for dummies"* awaits your reply! Thank you for your time. [e digicons]|-)[/e] PS Limited Edition for me unless 10.000 people trample me. Plotting to get a Normal edition for extra cute cover of epic awe. * and probably other people too

[quote who="RisingLegend" reply="85" id="2557027"]thats awesome and I totally get where your coming from, but I would rather pick from descriptions like these rather than professions.[/quote] Those professions can come not just with the game effect they have (+10% to food production for example) but also with a story like the ones I used (but serious and with monitored language [e digicons]:X[/e] ). Frogboy already said they can change interfaces quite easily. Surely many

[e digicons]:grin:[/e] But the Collector's Edition remains as... a possibility? Only Normal and Limited editions for the game? I suppose I better ask in the proper thread. :)

[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="25" id="2556756"]I just hope shipping costs for europe (france) won't be too high. When will we be able to "upgrade" our pre-order ? [/quote]Unless France gets special treatment in shipping, it's about $20 for Europe (out of USA in general?).

[quote who="Ragnar1" reply="12" id="2556668"]I paid $59.95 for the preorder beta, and you say I can get the upgrade for +$20, yet a new order cost $69.95. So I'm punished for having already paid you, by having to pay $10 more in total? [/quote]My preorder total is of $69.95 ($49.95 the game + $20 shipping). I don't see how you could pay more for the base game? It has never been other price as far as I know.

Will be there for Limited/Collector a WIndows theme a la Galactic Civilizations II or Sins of a Solar Empire? (there was supposed to be one for Demigod?)

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="9" id="2556596"] I beleive the last of the (obvious) bugs have been squashed. A new build is currently compiling [/quote] Ready for Gold? ^^ j/k

Can I upgrade right now ?[e digicons]:pout:[/e] I like that box. Hmmm Need to buy a regular box too.[e digicons]:S[/e] No rpg material of any kind as considered (but not planed) some time ago?

They always create a dev journal with the change log of the builds. Shouldn't be different today (Thursday for some, Friday for some different some XD )

Frogboy complains that people still uses IE (and he uses Crhome) but how I'm supposed to switch to Crhome if I canot quote with it? [quote who="Shurdus" reply="65" id="2556439"]You argue that a courtier is better at diplomacy because he is a courtier. I would argue he became a courtier because he had a talent for diplomacy. [/quote] Becoming a Courtier means a training plus the experience gained of living of that job. Anyone can be a Courtier, talented or not. Talent

I don't remember needing to register anything at all.

Today as in 4th March, yeah. Update with fixes to the 1G Beta build.

[quote who="Shurdus" reply="62" id="2556389"]The professions should not grant any bonus - at least in my opinion - that can also be acquired by selecting a trait for the sovereign. That way it is prevented that traits can stack or that it is very simple to gain some major bonus very very soon. So professions should be handled in a way that differs from traits. So if there is a trait that gives a bonus to diplomacy, there should be no profession that accomplishes the same thing. That sounds re

[quote who="Cerevox" reply="2" id="2556097"]I abhor this idea. ... [/quote] I concur. [quote who="Istari" reply="6" id="2556247"] I think the idea is to make mini-games an actual part of the game, i.e. make them fit within the lore and mechanics of the game so that you don't feel like your just doing something else in the meantime. And so, just like any other aspect of the game, your actions will have an effect on your empire. [/quote] The idea is to for

Amazing how people find impossible to accept that a Channeler could have a normal profession/live before getting into the Channeler business. Back in time: Titans rule the world after setting the crystal syphons and banning humans the access to any kind of magic, which was the only weapon that they had been able to use to fight the Titans back. Some time later human channelers start appearing. Instead of being wizards, which are not possible now due to all the magic being in the cryst

[quote who="kryo" reply="144" id="2555704"] Alexander the Great -> Army with Sovereign is never negatively affected by Supply Lines. Army moves 10% faster, Sovereign gets +4 HP, and +4 Defense. (cant have children?) On that note it might actually be interesting to have a "sterile" weakness--no kids means you can't inherit anything from defeated players, but I'm not sure we'd want something like that that disables an entire gameplay element. [/quote]That would be

I wish some weren't just a "single bonus" thing. Limits too much the addition of professions. I have tried to dumb... er... simplify these professions* (in bold the most dum... simplified version): Courtier Good bonus to diplomacy and reduce penalty of "agressive actions" agaisnt enemies . Farmer Increases food production . Gladiator Bonus to attack and defense. Swashbuckler B

Convince Atari to re-release Master of Magic.[e digicons]:X[/e] Very good news. :)

I don't like rewarding people for being faster than others. Some people are just slower and/or can have turns that require lots of attention due to manny different things in different fronts happening at once. It may sound weird but I prefer to "punish" the slower player with a timer. Sorry for the off-topic and not offering alternatives.
