Irritatingly I didn't take a screenshot before alt-tabbing to see if this had already been reported or not, and upon alt-tabbing back in to take one the city HUD is now not showing up at all, which I guess is another bug all of its own. Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch it back on? Essentially I'd met another faction and discovered one of it's cities. When I went back to my two cities thet had both taking the same name and colour of the opposing faction. &n

Yay. In the Uk, this is an awesome thing to wake up to!

Just spent a solid 3 hours playing beta 2, and you totally brought the fun with this one, even though it's totally gimped it's still really fun. Good job! Had over 1000 population across 3 cities off of only a single fertile piece of land (and around a dozen gardens) which felt about right to me. The cool thing was as my biggest city boomed I didn't have room to build everything in there (which I wanted to, I just wanted

Yep, just kicked a game off and my starting location is very similar indeed. Not only that when I Ctrl - U'd to have a look around there was only a single shard in the whole world, right next to an AI players starting city. :P

Initially while thay are still wild they should move around the map, maybe limited to the plains area in which they reside (or stay near a fesh water source), rather than remain static like the other resources. You should then be able to chase the herd using any unit toward your cities. Once they are inside a cities radius it depends what techs you researched as to how many horse you get to "harvest" for units per turn. Rather than just reseaching Animal Husbandry to then have access

Indeed it does, thanks. Though it worked properly till this weekend.

*one year later* Hello! RSS feeds are broken again! It updates with a summary and title but when you click the link to read more it just takes you to a, 404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Any ideas?

This is happening to me still in 0.255, just FYI.

Frogboy: How are you going to deal with "equipment" combinations that simply don't work, either with the unit or with other pieces of equipement? To pick an example to demonstrate my question, what if a player wants to pick a summoned demon for a paladin to ride. A Paladin wouldn't necessarily be compatible with every type of mount the game might offer out of the box or indeed player created mounts. Or what if the player wants to give a magic item or book a golum or a tamed beast? A t

Nice!

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="1975662"] Why? I know it sounds cool but why spend all this extra time on eye candy? Will all this time spent on the physics based animation system carry over into the combat physics? Will a hit from a large heavy two handed weapon send a small unit flying across the screen as a projectile where a normal size unit may be able to block the hit, and a large armoured unit just ignores the hit and continues with his swing? If it is j

Haha, I wasn't trying to piss on the parade! I like hearing about cool things and this certainly does sounds cool, though again I can't quite work out if this is just a graphical effect or something that will be a cosideration when building untis for combat. I see that as not necessary a feature that you'd sell the game off the back of, but nice to know about. Like the other guy said, just don't go neglecting any of the core game mechanics in pursuit of what seems to be the incidental, albeit

Yeah I think I'm going to need to see a video before I get too excited by this particular feature. ;) It sounds cool when described, but I can't visualise it or quite work out what it will add to the game.

Wll you be able to tell definately if one of the players in your game is an AI bot, assuming you allow them to join your game at all?

We should make an AI called Helios. Oooh! And Shodan! Human player: HAI I LYK ELVES EARS LOL1!!!11 Shodan: Look at you: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. Human player: OMG IM GONA KILL U NOW I HAVE BEAR CAVARLY!1111!11 Shodan: I don't understand... how could you have done this? You weren't meant to be so important... and now you think to destroy me? How dare you, insect? How dare you

As title. Basically when I write an AAR I like to be able to use names of the people who might be reading, so that they can follow the hero\unit\character they've been named for. I just wanted to ask if this will be possible to do in the game on the fly. I know you'll be able to design your own units and everything is going to be moddable from a unit design point of view, but that's not what I mean. I'm talking about the unique hero units, like th

I'm not in yet. I'm not sure if they take the money yet, but just in case I'm waiting till after Christmas to pre-order. :P Times is tight, yo.

[quote quoting="post"] Strange Stuff: Oddly enough there are over 27k EWoM torrents already. - WTF? I wish I lived in that universe! [/quote] WTF? [e digicons]:(O[/e] Is it screenshots or something? God, this irritates me! I wonder how many of those leechers think they're getting a leaked version of the game or something. -_- Also, this thread should totally get pinned!

Nice work on sticking dates on each article, I could never tell which ones were new but now I can. Hoorah!

Ah well, I apologise for sticking my nose in and creating any tension. My bad. It wasn't my place to make a comment like that when I don't know either of you. I'll leave it to you guys to sort out the fansites, but I'm sure the enthusiasm we all share for Elemental can be common ground. [e digicons];P[/e]

[quote who="Spartan" reply="12" id="1940836"] Update: well it seems that Cervomix has took the ball and ran with it. He has set up a pretty rocking knockoff site on the .info domain. To be frank I wish he would have waited for me to get official permission and coordinated things as well since I wanted to avoid us having more than one primary site so we would not divide the community talent and replicate services and efforts. Nonetheless it is a gigantic effort that he has worked on almos

I don't have alot of technical expertise for web programming or much creative expertise for designing, but if you need a work horse to do boring stuff, one thing I do have right now is a reasonable amount of time and enthusiasm for this game. I wish I could bring more to the table than that, but if you need that then let me know. :)

What sort of thing do you expect the volunteer to get involved in? Content? Moderation? What about using these guys as a base http://www.heavengames.com/ ? I only suggest it cause I quite like the aow2 fansite they run, it;s pretty active and well laid out. I dunno how one goes about getting a new fan page up there though. :)

Good interview, really pants trailer. :P Regarding magical creatures being rare, I think this is an excellent decision. Making the appearance of unicorns or dragons something truly special is an excellent idea. It's very similar to a theme in George R R Martins A Song of Ice and Fire, it's a fantasy epic but magic and magical creatures are a rarity, mostly it's just man, man's squabbles and man hitting each other with pointy things. When something other worldly doe
