[quote who="Raven X" reply="3" id="2616067"]I understand the concept of making the Empires feel different from the Kingdoms, but this seems a little...I don't know, limiting? Maybe I'm getting the wrong impression but it seems to me the Empires (if they follow this outline) will all be war-like, which isn't a bad thing necessarily, but would lead to them all playing the same with little distinction between them. Maybe I'm jumping the gun on conceptualization, it just looks that way to me.<br

. . .Do want. Do, freaking, want. I love what you folks are doing here. Also, depending on the back-lore: (Black) Marketeers, Profiteers, Merchant Speculators, Taxitors

[quote who="pedroente" reply="30" id="2610645"]ThreeKings, I do not think that you used the right expression, imo it must be: All hail Frogboy and his BRAVE DEVELOPERS!! Just my 2 cents[/quote] Soulless drones? Hmm, surely not. Boogie and Draginol are far too awesome. (Though we all know Draginol is just Frogboy after lots of NyQuil, so eh.)

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="14" id="2609957"] I can't imagine why you are testing the servers when so few elements are in the game but I'm not a developer. Which elements (as opposed to content) do you think aren't in the game? The piping is in for most of the main game features. They just don't have content hooked to them. Tactical battles are about the only element of the game that hasn't been made public yet. Obviously without content, the features are meani

I wish I could model, so I could make a magical hobo-esq man.

[quote who="Denryu" reply="29" id="2608483"] Quoting Denryu, reply 26 Denryu has been my online persona and martial arts name since long before that stupid Pokemon. So if they cannot use the name due to copyright, I will be sorely pissed. Besides, it is just Japanese for "electric dragon", how can you copyright "electric dragon"?? If it becomes an issue his full name is Denryu Darkbane, that should be OK regardless. And iof that doesn't work, my last and least favo

[quote who="Denryu" reply="26" id="2608397"]Done. I am assuming all we need to do to send it to you is post it in the mod forum? If not here is the link again http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6606493/Denryu.xml[/quote] Keep in mind they probably can't use copyrighted names. ;)

I think it has since been 86'd.

I've never understood the idea of Fantasy = Some sort of weird religion, or something of that sort. Doesn't mesh in my head. I'm pretty certain that's not what you meant (and Frogboy could be entirely faffing about so as not to reveal things, but I doubt it) but it's the idea I get.

Even the Civ people have realized it's been far too long in a single idea. Which is good. But I suspect Civ 5 will get a large pass from me unless Elemental gets delayed.

[quote who="Szeretni" reply="60" id="2598478"]Icewind Dale II has a nice intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA_PFYVnZWY[/quote] Name me an Infinity Engine game that doesn't, and I'll (rightly) call you a liar and beat your face in with a pumpkin.

No Baldur's Gate II, really? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq9N9ddsKg8 Your tags make me angry. Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V it yourselves.

The two things I've noticed hanging on End Turn are: - If a Sovereign has a move order queued for the next turn, and does not execute it, and you end turn it was supposed to move on, it will hang. I've had what appears to be this happen at least 4 times. - Ending turns too quickly. I don't know if there's something I'm not noticing when this one happens. It's usually in rapid succession, and hasn't happened since things stopped taking 70+ turns to build. (I can

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="37" id="2592952"] Beta 2 could last 2 weeks. Beta 3 is the key date. [/quote] That idea made my night, lemme tell ya. As it stands, the people doing this are silly. Much like people who: - Ask for 'blue'/dev responses on an MMO forum - Make feature petitions for a game in development, especially in a Beta when everything serious is already hammered out (Well. . .most betas :D) - L

Well said. I'd personally like to know who is going "RELEASE IT SOON OR YOUR COMPANY WILL DIE" (etc) so I may punch them in the feet. An even better statistic would be how many of the people that have told you this, have actually pre-ordered. I'm willing to bet none, on the outside, 1/10th on the inside. Hail Stardock, long live the King, etc. Excellence, that's all you guys have ever given us. Rushing

"You failed to protect the nobles daughter and he died a most gruesome death. His father will not be pleased." Er. . .

[quote who="John_Hughes" reply="36" id="2588100"]Can people live in a Watch tower? Hell they build faster than straw huts and provide LOS bonuses too I think. The Hammock Shop is going to make a killing now. LOL P.S. Or did Boogie just have his way with us? hmmmmm[/quote] The Watchtower is just a hugely important building early in the game, and causing it to take two-digit turns is insanity. No, people can't live it. I wish. <p

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="25" id="2587592"] Watchtowers taking 47 turns.... Watchtowers now take 1 turn. Hows that for tweaking pacing [/quote] Have my babies! Seriously though, that is more than enough to make me pumped for this beta version. Good works.

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="22" id="2587563"]Yeah, definatly tomorrow trying to polish the hell outta this one for you guys. We think the wait will be worth it [/quote] Are you guys doing anything about the pacing? I would imagine you don't have the time to do it in a couple days, but it'd be great. Watchtowers taking 47 turns and palaces taking 74 is. . .jesus man. The serious games I play, where I actually 'play' and not just rush for an uber-army are getti

I was going to say I feel like a filthy bastard for posting before reading the changelog, but. . . >_> Anywho. Woohooooo! Huzzah! Long live the. . .Stardock! *Goes off to get bagels and tea for his playing spree*

If a Fallen falls in the forest. . .does it corrupt the bunnies? Good to see some more lore. It's been flowing fast and furious lately, which is great stuff. (Still going to be playing Fallen though. >_>) Edits: Um. . .replaced 'hears' with 'falls'. Dubya tee eff, brain?
