[quote who="Moussu" reply="2" id="2519402"]But, for who pre-ordered after Beta1 closing date, they will be able to get beta2, aren't they? And, I know it can be postpone, but as today, it should be in February, right? [/quote] End of February is Beta 2 (if everything goes well) and yeah, if you have preordered a bit late for Beta 1, you are still fine for Beta 2+.

Elemental for dummies

If the best he can get with a Charm Spell is two spiders... I mean, where are the ladies? Good to see that the basic magic system is getting finally some attention. It really feels weird to have Elemental: War of Magic without any actual magic to use.[e digicons]o_O[/e]

Hello. It's not going to be released any time soon. Still in Beta 1 (of 5). Maybe around september... Edit: Beta schedule --> https://forums.elementalgame.com/363844 And according to Stardock, the release will be: "When the consensus is that this is the best turn-based strategy game of its kind available.". It's going to be a looong wait.

It doesn't make sense that it can take more turns to train an elite paladin unit than to research some techs. Yet, that will happen from time to time depending on conditons. Even if we assume that people more or less kept their knowlledge base but was unable to use until the sovereigns started resurrecting the lands (bringing back the conditions for scientific research, turns being just the time to reimplement "lost" knowledge one step at a time), there is always be a problem between the corr

[quote who="Maxpower179" reply="34" id="2519079"]If the fee is $10/month, and it's a good game and I stay subscribed for 6 months, the developer gets $60. If it sucks and I unsubscribe after one month, the developer gets $10. That's a lot better to me than a model where the develop gets $40 regardless of how much the game sucks.[/quote] Put in that way, it doesn't sound bad. But I would imagine it would be more in the line of "Pay $40 for the game, first month free an

Too much Benjamin Franklin, spirit of capitalism and survival of the fittest? Maybe some added and still not assimilated traces of Cold War? Some people would lose money with a "socialist" healthcare system? People don't want to give money for other people¡s health? (why bother with Haiti or similars then? Maybe because it's somehting puntual in time?)

[quote who="EadTaes" reply="20" id="2518563"]Things such as needing travel papers are nice and will slow down people pass throught your lands legaly. But if the dude is comming to kill you that won't slow him down.[/quote]Travel papers are not supposed to work during wars because it wouldn't make sense. In war only magic and other armies could slow down the enemy. That doesn't mean it doesn't interest you to slow down your enemies while in peace with them. (except when you have to suffer thos

So the loyal, honest customer that doesn't have/use internet connection for his single players games doesn't count? So gaming, elitist by itself, now needs to be more elitist (instead of just removing DRM completely and treat customers as such). Yeah, capitalist companies with execs with large salaries (remember, when in crisis it's code monekys and company who pay the price, not the people at the top with huge salaries) need a new generation of customers that give away all their righ

[quote who="Maxpower179" reply="17" id="2518364"]It provides a much stronger incentive to fix/improve games after release, and to release titles that have replayability as opposed to ones that look cool but become boring quickly. [/quote] But you are supposing that they would do such thing. And why would you subscribe for a game that has a life expectancy of 6 months (according to some companies, because obviously no one plays the same games for so long... just take a look at Mas

[quote who="mbaron888" reply="11" id="2518291"]Next on the agenda will be subscriptions to the game. "You can play for the low low price of $29.99 per year. That's half off of buying the DVD version. Most gamers don't play a game more than 6 months anyway and you can reactivate the game anytime in the future for only $19.99!!"

A male Sovereign could spam many children. Quite more faster than a female one (without magic methods used).

I wonder... "Congratulations! Your daughter was born with the Trait: Dangerous Beauty*. Don't mind that her poligonal appearence is uglier than sin due to mixing human genes with slime genes**.

Drool worthy pics there.[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Good to see the game in such list at the same level as games like Mass Effect 2 , Bioshock 2 , Starcraft 2 ...

Will be Froggits in the game? So we can have Frogo and Ham trying to destroy The One Pin created by Souron, ex-servant of Moregoth, encouraged by the mage Grandalf?[e digicons]^_^[/e] Oh wait, wrong game?

Wasn't it "Yes, we can"? :P

Isn't enough "doom clock" that once someone finds the Ring, if he doesn't get rid of it in X turns, he loses the game? (if Sauron is alive, the lands of the "fallen" surrender to him as he succumbs to darkness; if Sauron is dead, he changes into "Sauron" and could get some serious retcon in the research and magic areas, being forced to adapt to the changes) That means that once someone finds the Ring, he only cares about power or he tries to destroy it even if it's only not to be destroyed by
