I would place money on the notion that MP is not limited to anything right now. The point of the Beta is to help build the game with us, if we think of a really awesome multiplayer game mode they currently don't support during the beta period. I'm sure any pitches thrown here will be considered, and it might actually be implemented by the final release. This game is going to support multiplayer, which means even though Stardock isn't focusing on it. T

sound good. Do we really need a dialogue box saying he fled to the nearest city? or will said dialogue have options like what was described above (where he comes out of hiding and can fight), or pick the city? It seems like the type of option you'd not always want to be available. Like in games where you WANT to play "find and kill the sovereign" This certainly addresses many issues though.

Heh, well thats how its done. I mean historically, when you have a crest that is the combination of 2 other crests, its to show merged families. I remember I had a project based on it back in like 6th grade where we learned about family crests and how or why they were the way they were. Anyway... I gave the time. I don't want to deny the community access to the the avatars just because Luckmann can't post them. &nbsp

under covers huh? I'm curious how much actual download time is going to be spent downloading stuff we can't access. Anyway, I'm excited.

would you say thats a bug, or just an awesome location. I would have to agree that there should be a check of some sort for many crazy things rather close to each other3 It doesn't seem unreasonable to have 3 crystals, though I'd say thats about the limit. 4 or 5 would be rather insane (assuming they are anywhere as much of a boost that magic nodes are in MoM or AoW)

I personally agree that "no sovereign" in AoW is much more fun than having one. However having a super power-house running around might be fun too. Which is why I'm holding off really making a big deal about it.

I'd take Play by Avian Carrier over Play by E-mail any day. There is such a small market for carrier pigeons these days. It would be nice to see some growth in that field.

At PAX it was suggested you can marry off your daughters, as well as involve heroes in your family tree. So chances are your wife one of the recruited heroes or the daughter of somebody else. In theory there could be events that provide you with wives, or the sovereign could produce a child magically because... well... he's a channeler, he can do whatever he wants.

yay! I was thinking about those faction crests. I told Luckmann that he can go ahead and get the credit/karma for the other crests, but I might go ahead and post.... especially because I think Luckmann was saying that he couldn't post them. (I actually really hope that those crests are just place-holder symbols until the factions are ready. Not just because they are spells turned into faction crests, but the 3 with two small symbols makes thos

Beta 1a came around rather quickly (assuming its released next week). If it keeps moving at this rate we'll be at Beta 1e in no time.

So are you coding new libraries for Python?

I'm kinda surprised there isn't more software designed to compile on a second machine.

I'm not sure what you're saying exactly zigzag. The point of this beta is to let the community influence a large part of the development, which is something few other companies have tried. What "won't work" about that? I mean, yes... it won't be fun. But if you're trying to tell him not to get excited about it because it isn't fun, I think you could have been a bit more direct. :D

I'm amused

I think the ongoing issue is "why would maps have color" but its kinda voided by the map itself since it already has color for trees and rivers. So why not have more color? We'll see. I think color with a filter to make the coloring look uneven and on knitted cloth would work just find. If done right, it should still look like a cloth map, even though its a colored cloth map.

well, I think the suggestion should be roads shouldn't build where there is fog of war. Either A: the fog of war should go away (because the road crews mapped the area) or B: it should build around the fog of war (worse of the two options, but perhaps better at this point in the development, because it would prove that roads path around almost any added terrain feature.

I was just about to suggest that video card be an added question, perhaps also OS (version of windows and 32-bit vs. 64-bit) So if the survey gets remade because 100 people work on it. These seem like good things to ask. (I guess nobody is really having sound issues)

does this count everytime you start 2 games in a row? I get a bad starting location every time! XD

ATI card huh? I've seen this kind of bug a couple of times in the feedback section, but I've never seen those strange markings. Looks like you have runes or something. Perhaps your computer is summoning an evil spirit.

you were looking for the wiki? One is here: https://www.elementalgame.info/wiki/index.php/Main_Page But I think its a little out of date. (please feel free to update it)

Everytime the 2 accessories thing comes up, I always wonder why games with that kind of accessory system don't allow for missing limbs. My question is, why only 2 accessories. Are necklaces, bracelets, loin-clothes, random HoMM style accessories also limited by this? (rather than a "ring slot" )

I feel like that green is much less subtle in that image.

I like how this thread more or less became a thread about razing cities. Has this already been posted in the "idea" forum? I'd like to see death magic users or certain unique faction tech allow bonuses to be gained directly from razing cities. (I remember somebody talking about dead bodies as a resource.... well what better wait to get dead bodies than burn a city with the residents locked inside their own walls)

I'm very curious to see how this will relate to the final game. Certainly a player shouldn't be able to just change their units like that. However, if there is to be mod work, players should be fine to modify units as desired. I suspect the best way to handle it is somehow encrypt the main game units, but have copies or freely available ones for use in mods or whatever. Of course even then, there still needs to be ways of sorting them from eac

I feel your pain. But thats what this Beta is for. Helps catch those nasty hangs and memory issues before its too complex to figure out whats causing them.
