Wasn't cloth map the "safe mode" for less powerful hardware? It could use some improvements but not too many. And MoM didn't have cloth map...

Trog has a similar stance and there doesn't seem to be doubt about her being... her. Not that I know about body language so I'll let the experts judge,

[quote who="Haree78" reply="12" id="2540128"] Yes because all good fantasy games and stories are completely original or don't borrow ideas from others. Oh wait... [/quote]It's possible to be original. Problem? People doesn't want that (and it's not easy anyway). "I want my elves", "Boring!", etc. I'll stick to originality presenting something already know as something good.

[quote who="Demiansky" reply="14" id="2539818"] Okay seriously Winter, you are grasping at straws here. This is silly. You make plenty of good points in other posts, but this is arguing for arguing sake. Yes, I want a cosmology to be consistent too, but you can come up with a billion and a half simple mechanisms by which a fire elemental would spill out of a super fireball spell while it is being cast. This is a game about magic, remember? The Devs can work

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="1" id="2539838"]I know there will be an item editor included with the game..... however I think it will be based completely outside of the actual game, as a modding tool. There still might be some sort of "forge" in the game, but the devs aren't talking..... [/quote]As a mod tool is required so we can create items without the need to play a game (or use notepad to classic modding). But I really hope to see in game forging. Would feel weird not to have it. At

[quote who="Cerevox" reply="12" id="2539704"]It is kinda like aftershocks or preshocks on an earthquake. The main deal was SO HUGE that you got little deals running around too. [/quote]They are stil earthquakes, not earth elementals. Just before a storm? You can smell ozone but no storm elementals shocking people. Yes, magic is "magic" but unless presented with a consistent methodology of why "spirits appear from nothing", I don't see it (sorry if my viewpoint is of "every

[quote who="Cerevox" reply="8" id="2539390"]So on channeling spells, basically, if you are calling forth a super fire spell, fire elemental would begin to manifest around the target due to increased fire mana levels? i actually kind of like this idea. [/quote]I don't see why casting a superfireball would make fire elementals appear at any point of the casting process. Two totaly different types of spells. Unless we are talking of summoning fire kami that gather and explode? O_o

Chain spells should require some kind of ritual that affects costs/effects of the spells chained. Maybe even can create combos. If there isn't any mechanic related to it, then it's, as Cerevox points, just casting spells one after another.

[quote quoting="post"]The fire channel spell would take 8 turns to cast. On the first 2 turns, it would fire fireballs at targets of your choice. On turns 3-4, it would summon fire elementals to fight for you. On 5-6, walls of fire would appear at locals of your choice. On turn 8, you would see the most powerful components of the spell, possibly a massive column of fire appearing in the center of the battle field which envelops all in its range. [/quote

It's Games for Windows, not Games for Windows LIVE . No multiplayer based on GfWL. It'd be a mistake for Stardock.

I blame the imposed constrains of the shape of the words upon the creativity of artits trying to express their internal world. Or might be, they are paid to paint, not to write. :P

[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="41" id="2538671"]If you know how good this game is, you will buy it. If you go to a store and look at games in their boxes, the box art will make this game look like a boring oldschool fantasy game.
