[quote who="rolandgunner" reply="19" id="2715931"] I just hope there is no Van Owen Flagg, we need to keep Roland safe.[/quote]

Based on my experiences with the beta: I'll be happy if the release runs at 30fps or higher. It was terribly slow on my machine and only got slower the more I played.

[quote who="Storm" reply="85" id="2715744"]I for one am glad that the battles are turn based. If not, I might not be even considering Elemental. Let alone have pre-ordered. Just my 2 cents. RTS games are a dime a dozen and those of us old school who like to think and pause between hacks are very happy with the decision to go with a Turn Based Combat system.[/quote] TBS games are almost just as common as RTS games. And there happen to be some extremely well made RTS games out the

I haven't been reading every post to come through on the mod board so I have a few questions as to what is and isn't going to be possible to mod: I know there is a spell effect editor (or something of that nature) - will we be able to add our own PNG sprites to be used as particles within the editor? GUI modding: what extent can the GUI be modded? Are we simply talking position / graphics changes or can entirely new components be added like a paper-doll system (<a tit

One minor improvement for the UI regarding the conversations: instead of attempting to fit the player's dialog within a single-lined button, you could adopt the RGP standard of a numbered list, with the text all being indented. Look forward to playing the game on Monday... although I'm tempted to just wait until the 0 day patch is released. Will saves still be compatible with the 0 day patch from the gold release?

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="7" id="2715038"]Thanks for the feedback. You will be happy to know that nearly everything you listed has been addressed and then some.[/quote] can you do something about the heat while you're at it ? augh.

[quote who="LEADER MkII" reply="2" id="2714719"]You played the first game?[/quote] ... No, I played the demo to the 2nd game.

Played the demo: was less than impressed.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="2713996"]I don't agree. The AI needs to make calvalry units. If the AI gets attacked or attacks you with Melee units and you have lots of archers then it deserves to get creamed and you should flame me as an incompetent AI developer. [/quote] Yes and no... If the player manages to completely out-class the AI in sheer volume of units, then yes - the AI should be slaughtered (just like it would happen in real life assuming compe

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="9" id="2713965"]Look guys, the game compiled. If there are bugs, we assume the compiler should have caught them. That's what the compiler is for. Now, none of us have had time to load the game or try it out but I'm sure it's fine.[/quote] lol. I'm pretty sure that's what they did with this title: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/driving/bigrigsotrr/review.html

OK so I've just gotten back from seeing this movie.. WOW! I know some will hate it; I know many will not understand it; I? I loved the movie. VISUAL COCAINE. It's 1:23 AM and I'm wide awake.

Yes, please keep the snarky dialog out of the game. I can't speak for others, but for me, it destroys the atmosphere.

[quote who="Lord_Agamemnon" reply="30" id="2713479"]Awesome! Just don't make the AI too powerful, now... [/quote] No! I want the AI to be able to crush my feeble collection of refugees beneath their steel-toed boots of hate without receiving any AI related bonuses.

So how did you guys have to pay for the Lord of the Rings sound track[e digicons]:X[/e] ? But seriously, if all of the music in-game is to that caliber I'll be happy to keep winamp off.

Woot @ early access. Super happy to hear about the unique abilities. One thing that really breaks immersion for me though: the fire giant's center image (or avatar, w/e) looks nothing like what he looks like on the actual map.

[quote who="Admiral100" reply="3" id="2713361"]What trailer, where? [/quote] Yeah, where the hell is this trailer?

I'm seeing it tonight with some friends. Some of the casting for the movie really bugs me having read the comics but I guess I'll have to wait and see how it all plays out.

Ubisoft could spend $100 billion, 10 years and employ half the population of England to produce the greatest game the world's ever seen; I still wouldn't buy it if these filled it with their ridiculous DRM.

[quote who="Raven X" reply="61" id="2712819"] So...now that it's gone Gold...PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEAAAASSSSEEEE let the Pre-Oders/Beta Testers have access to it now!!! We'll pretend it's Beta 5, I promise!!! [/quote] I'd think they'd want to give the beta testers access to the gold build just to improve the chances of ironing out any remaining bugs.

Can you provide any insight into the sort of things we can see from the AI? Do they have anything special up their sleeves that we may not have seen before?

[quote who="delijoe79" reply="45" id="2712696"]Reduced 44%Original 1280 x 771 One thing though, is it supposed to say "Grassland land" up in the top corner... looks like a typo because that's kinda redundant... [/quote] Clearly not. Its a land of grassland. Duh [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Awesome, thanks for the insight.

I'm curious / interested in the physical publishing aspect of the game. Since it's due in roughly 7 days, how does that work with producing the packaging / manuals / dvds and shipping them?

Question for those who can answer: I haven't been following the modding side of things too well, but am wondering: would it be possible to mod in a paper-doll styled equipment screen? Can the GUI be modded to that extent?
