I am also suffering CTD problems when starting a new game while an old one is running. I reluctantly take back my "yes" vote until this particular issue is fixed. [quote who="Goontrooper" reply="4" id="2616762"]I would rather spend more time finalizing the gameplay and overall stability at this stage, before moving on to a focus on multi-player. Time spend now will pay dividends later. We need to make sure that the core gameplay is as solid as it can be before we start mucking about w

For me, yes. Some people have problems. I do not. That's all that matters. [e digicons]:P[/e]

Well well, I haven't had time to play Elemental with my new job [e digicons]:grin:[/e] , so I loaded up 1v4 and damn! I was impressed. Two games I played 500+ turns that were completely stable! I'm very happy with the work, and in my opinion 100% playable, even if the game is a little... uh... dull... right now... [e digicons]:X[/e] I'm ready for Beta 2! What about you guys!

[quote](since units have different combat speeds, tiles become impractical)[/quote] Now by combat speed do you mean rate of attack? Or movement speed? Or some sort of initiative deal?

Awesome! Reminds me I should start writing again... so many distractions...

[quote]No. Those would be champions. You're training soldiers. You could recruit units that have those abilities but you can't just make them.[/quote] Hmm... so you can't have a unit of backstabbing, stealthy thieves? Shame. Can you at least give equipment which grants these abilities? Not that this is on topic...

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="40" id="2558124"] The Doritos mod will prove you wrong! Now, someone make that mod! [/quote] Good god! Why do the Japanese have doritos so much more awesome than our own?!?

I believe that secondary weapons have been confirmed. At least, Frogboy made a passing remark about wanting to equip archers with daggers. I have a good memory for useless shit like that.

[quote]So the question is, where would people like to see the focus? More emphasis on making the game lore with the 10 factions. Or more emphasis on making it easy for players (in game) to customize their own factions/races?[/quote] I'm starting to get what Frogboy is getting at. With a more flexible race system, it'd be easier to do more interesting things with them, for example multiracial empires and interbreeding. And I've got to say I'm beginning to like this idea. It's just...

Lol, well I found out why the tattoos aren't aligned... it's not an issue of symmetry of the tattoo, it's that the face texture itself is just slightly off center... lol. If you look closely at the mouth of the M Handsome Skin, it's literally a pixel off center of the nose... unnoticeable and irrelevant normally, but becomes an issue when you're doing tiny detail work such the kind you'd expect to see in a Polynese tattoo. Don't get me wrong, the base skin textures are awesome textur

I'm for less canon, more CANNON!!! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ...Actually I'm for well developed canon art assets. We the people can produce whatever sucky things we want.

[quote who="Arthgen" reply="84" id="2605022"]FYI. MoM was just released at Gog.com!!! http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/master_of_magic/ [/quote] How is this good news? Something that was once free to the public is getting sold again.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="93" id="2605347"] In Civilization there's only 1 "race" (Humans) with dozens of factions. In Galactic Civilizations there are 12 races each representing a faction. In Sins of a Solar Empire, there are 3 races each with several different factions. In Elemental, we have 10 factions which are made up of several races that are broadly outlined into natural and unnatural (Fallen) groups and then aligned between two philosophie

After rereading the OP a couple of times, I guess I don't really get what Draginol is trying to say. I think he segway-ed badly, because I'm not getting how the redoing of races is supposed to effect factions. Of course I want mixed kingdoms, but I basically want interesting, balanced factions right out of the box even more. Ultimately my fear, unfounded or not, is that there will be no difference between "race" and "culture", that an "elf" will always be a arrow slinging bandit type

Now wait a sec. It was a little premature to even have that poll, factions flat and undetailed as they are right now. Improving races is absolutely fine, but not at the cost of making pre-existing factions undiverse and uninteresting.

Polynese Style Tattoos v0.1 This is an... *ahem*... "complete" mod for Elemental, and by complete, I mean you can load it right now and you can use it. All you need to do is upload the file into your Elemental/GFX/HKB/Unit_KingdomMale folder and rename the Polynese Skin to a skin you don't think you'll like. SAVE A BACKUP FIRST. Unfortunately, you can't just drop in new skins at this point. <img src="http://i860.photobucket.com/alb

I have a dilemma. I really like multi-tile cities, they're very fun to make, but from a design perspective they don't make much sense. There's many ways to exploit their use. It's really simple to simply wall off your kingdom, and to build "highways" where a single long city transports units through it. I'm starting to think cities should maybe be more decentralized. Else, we're going to have to impose a lot of arbitrary restrictions on how people build cities or go back to standard 1-tile ci

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="31" id="2601402"] Quoting MagicwillNZ, reply 29 but I don't know how to point the devs to my Dropbox account. Right click on the item you want to share with them (a file, not a folder) and select Dropbox there. It should give you an option to "Copy Public Link". Select that and paste that link somewhere in the Beta section. Like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4996295/633821167827822050-Level80.jpg Edit: Just in case... File mu

The stability has gotten worse for me in the latest build. Last beta I was able to start a new game in the middle of a continuing game, whereas now it just CTD. I'd like to submit a bug report, but I don't know how to point the devs to my Dropbox account.

She doesn't have a terrible voice. You people are being picky.

[quote who="Mogmoogle" reply="14" id="2600692"] The graphics looked like quake 2, if that actually by that I am being nice, because It remind's me of playing Quake 1, its horrible I couldn't bring myself to look at it. 2.) after I say that people are like its all about character development, how so the characters are lame and the acting is terrible, its melodramatic enough for maybe pre-teens to like, but I just couldn't get into it, it was like listening to sum 41, or one of the many ot

I made this exact suggestion! I didn't get any responses but I'm glad somebody agrees with me.
