[quote who="Malleus_magician" reply="16" id="2549141"]will the beta 2 be available for people who didnt pre order? (wanted some feedback first) [/quote]No preorder = no beta access. Edit: preorder from Impulse*. Just in case someone decides to preorder in a Gamestop or whatever and then finds that that is not the way to get into the beta. * you will be charged once you get the beta access. Just in case someone decides to preorder without real money to back it.</

[quote who="AZNGabe" reply="7" id="2549065"] Sovereign will still age and die, right? One of the children will be a new sovereign if and when the current sovereign dies, right?[/quote] Wrong and wrong. That will be one of the first mods anyway so don't worry too much about it. Choose what race the faction comes from (race really is superficial, think race as in humans) Give your faction its own look (i.e. create your own

Without reading any answer (which means I could be repeating someone else): You trace the route you want the caravans from one city to another. Caravans go along that route. No road yet. As turns go by (and the caravan successfully reach the other city and come back), the road is automatically built. Techs can improve these kind of roads once they are done. If you need "artificial" roads, use the current method. The techs mentioned above can improve these roads too.

I think that part of that feedback is going to be based on the users experience playing multiplayer in addition of the single player users that will have that time to keep testing the stuff.

Doesn't have Steam Civilization V announced for the same date? :P I agree with astrath. WIth delays in Beta 1 and the devs saying we won't reach beta 3 until they are really happy with that it's done, I'd not bet for any date. In any cae, good news that the site is updated (like that Gameplay option they included some days ago).

What we need are Elemental AAR . Just saying. Cannot wait to Frogboy start posting some like in Gal Civ!

[quote who="Jon Shafer" reply="53" id="2547062"] Quoting VicenteC, reply 50 You mean you haven't already bought it??? Sadly, no. I've been a bit busy lately. Jon [/quote] Buying the game now (and therefore getting access to the beta) doesn't mean you have to play it now. And it's not like you are 24/7 working, huh? ;) Come on, the beta is not so bad as Frogboy claims. Just worse. XD Now let's talk bus

[quote quoting="post"] Q: When is Beta 3 due? A: April. Q: What comes next? A: Beta 2. The Multiplayer beta. That’s in March. [/quote]Remember people, that's the plan. The reality might include delays. And Beta 2 in March might mean March 31. :P

Need a trigger system that allows you to cast a spell out of turn. Could have items with stored counters that trigger when targeted by the proper spell. And general versus specific counters. One easy way to counter a spell could be if you have that spell too: the opponent tries Raise Volcano? If you have it too, you can pay the casting price but instead of creating a volcano of your own, you use it to cancel your opponent's. You don't have that spell? Counter Spell, that would be more

[quote who="Cauldyth" reply="11" id="2546221"]Martin Cirulis, CEO of Kerberos (makers of Sword of the Stars) routinely responds on the forums, but usually just to tell people that their ideas suck and that they should screw off and go make their own game. And I'm only slightly exaggerating... [/quote]Today's CEOs are all a bunch of trolls. Where is the flamethrower Smiley? :P

Hmm Forum ate my post without Egads... So... I like the idea but I like Courtier heroes too. Or that type that doesn't go frosting/flaming/slashing people while sigthseeing distant lands but stays at home and faces other kind of challenges. But I like the idea and "urban heroes" are nothing but a wish at this point (and out of topic XD ).

Heroes should be allowed to get assigned as Governors but by default, cities should be created with a NPC Governor of level 0. As time goes by, he levels up and allows the city to grow more. These Governors can be moved to other cities and any city that loses its Governor, gets one of his citizens promoted to Governor (level 0). One city can have more than one Governor but only the highest rank one "leads" (might receive bonuses from the other Governors though). But what o

Can you elaborate a bit more, please? I'm not truly sure of how heroes/family can do as governors and the consequences. If you build your first city, you have no heroes or family. Ergo no governor except your Sovereign, who could not explore, being forced to stay in the city to allow it to grow. And what happens if my grown but not maxed city loses its governor and I cannot assign anyone else? Silly questio, I know, but I'm going to suppose that the city remains as it is (not

Do you know where the Middle Kingdom is? ;) I found the thread. Actually, it was the name of the continent and not of the world but in any case, seems the same. Cartagia is the name and it might be old info by now. https://forums.elementalgame.com/343697

The world has a name. It's mentioned in one thread. Somewhere. Maybe a placeholder. Maybe in common english, the name of the world means Elemental? :P

I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere (which actually means nothing) but there is a nice video about pre-cataclysm Elemental. And some nice wallpapers too. Just for those like me that haven't been checking that part for a while. [e digicons]:blush:[/e]

The creature creator of Spore can give birth to some big abominations but also to very nice creatures (loved my Ratkins a lot). As long as we don't get Elemental pRon...
