Did you never play around with Particle forge for Sins? :P

I just hope that this doesn't rush the game to be honest. But if we really are missing as many features as you say Frogboy, then I guess this is A-OK

Two weeks? Wow that might be the shortest beta phase in Stardock history

Shame I don't have a facebook... and that I've already preordered :P

Great idea Frogboy, this way I can seek out he AI and not get stuck in mountain ranges

[quote who="Rishkith" reply="18" id="2574287"]Grapihcs are definitely NOT gameplay IMO and have more to do with content instead. Graphics have nothing to do with a game's actual mechanics.[/quote] Right but Frogboy did say twards " completetion ," which imo includes graphics. But he probably means gameplay [quote]But it should start resembling a game with game mechanics that allow a player to play and eventually win the game.[/quote]

Do graphics count in our "percentage" of game completion? Or are we just talking gameplay features only? And I'd probably play 1Z for awhile before voting, so how long will the poll be open?

[quote]Only difference between Mac and PC is OS and most (if not all) developers would find developing for Mac way easier due to Apple's "closed eco system" - meaning less bugs, less time waste optimising your game for trillion possible PC configurations, more stable final product and ultimately smoother end-user experience...[/quote] Macs don't have DirectX, I believe they use OpenCL (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), so it's not like you can just put steam on th

[quote who="KillzEmAllGod" reply="97" id="2568665"]could get the pirated demo where you only can play ai kinda lame since the ai is dumb as all hell.[/quote] Well I've looked around and decided getting a launcher probably wasn't worth the chance of a virus

[quote who="Haree78" reply="6" id="2566577"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 5No card game in development. We just like the concept of info cards. Sins has info cards too. We just decided in Elemental to spruce them up cosmetically. Personally I think it works extremely well.[/quote] Indeed, reminds me a bit of Magic the Gathering

1) Anyway to increase food production in towns that aren't next to fertile land? 2) Anyway to get around mountains (or go through them)? I seem to be starting out with water to the North/South and mountains to the East/West and thus can't expand any further or meet other factions

Oh wow can't wait, it's been awhile since I've read a good fantasy novel [e digicons]:D[/e] Or played good 4X game (Granted, I still play GCII lol) Also article on Kotaku: http://kotaku.com/5482797/random-house-wants-to-write-video-game-stories

Dunno if this has been mentioned yet but what if there was an Achilles heel weakness? Meaning that units attacking your Sovereign have like an extra 5% chance to score a critical hit

[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="17" id="2543923"]I registered and created my beta profile. Two days and no key yet I'm getting worried.[/quote] Blizzard says that thousands of gamers are getting keys. So assume that's 5000 (we have no idea what it really is) Assume 1 million accounts signed up. That's a 1/200 chance of getting in. My numbers are probably way off but you get the point

Frogboy, care to clarify for me? In the final battle, were the humans on Kir-Tion's side or their own? And is Curgen "evil" and Kir-Tion "good" or are they both "bad" or what? :P Also are the immortals not immortal in the sense that they can die in combat? (like the sovereigns in elemental)

Do the fallen more or less like each other or is each faction (fallen and human) at war with every other faction

I'm not really how I feel about GPG anymore :| I'll make up my mind next month when Supcom 2 comes out

Hey that Tarthan looks like the woman in the dynasty example video! :O

[quote]Me too. And the Sins update[/quote] If I had to guess I'd say a little bit of post release balance or bug fixes :P

I'm pretty curious about what the impulse update is too :P Though yay 1G!! And isn't new lore info coming out tomorrow?

They aren't in the beta yet :P

I don't have a twitter account :( And I own it all already :( Might as well give it to someone who doesn't own it lol :P

:(

It might be a little late for an announcement, but who knows [e digicons]:'([/e]
