[quote]Peapiggion[/quote] XD I'm going to have to call him that now. I'm still just waiting for the alpha so we know what we're seeing in terms of economy and research costs and such. level 2 micromanagement? level 3? I wasn't aware there was a level system for that O.o (you talked about them in another thread as a concept, but it confuses me here since I don't actually understand what the level numbers represent)

Some people like achievements. Achievements provide micro-satisfaction as well as "bragging rights". You certainly have a point though, and I agree that goals should not be some arbitrary list of things to do. That being said, some games are starting to intigrate a reward system with achievements so that having achievements gives a direct in-game result. For PC achievements can be avoided, and I support doing so if there isn't something creative to be done w

no worries. I suspected you might have missed them, which is why I brought them up. (also. there are a ton of them, which would validate just ignoring them ^_^) Tough hours! Hopefully you'll have time to play Elemental when given the chance. (I'd bet you'll be one of those pre-selected 24 for the alpha)

[quote]Are there also priests (with divine powers) in the game?[/quote] I think many people have asked "will there be spell casting units" in general.

With the popularity (or infamy) of bears and other mount choices on this forum, I suspect several people (including myself) would like to see that addressed at some point. &n

decided not to include the direct MoM avatars Spartan? If not, should a download collection include them? (I could make and host one, if you want)

well, according to the article it is no longer pronounced "elemental"... so its not really on topic anymore. ^_^

I like the bear cav one. I think the title of that achievement should be something like "bear fanboy" or perhaps "luckmann award" ^_^ I also enjoy silly awards like "peanut butter jelly time" > awarded to player with "banana warriors" and max dancing arts

they don't need to. just give us a link. Frogboy tends to host all his videos and images on his website: www.draginol.com That is how he provided the video or the dev journal "intigrated physics part 2" so he could host music there no problem. Also the main music artist hosts a number of his songs on HIS website. That includes a web-based music player. So in theory if he were allowed to put music up on his site, we could be linked to

I second that! I didn't realize the GalCiv music artist was also the guy (or one of them?) that worked on Fear

@robbie.price: stardock confirmed there would be no sentient mounts. so without modding centaur mounts are out of the question. the others might be fine though (I'm not sure how many mounts they plan to put in the game)

I understood the words "mod" and "pimp"... you'll have to explain yourself

For some reason, we don't seem to have a thread over here for it, and it would be a shame for so many fans not to know. ^_^ So here is the link. Apparently it is Frogboy's Birthday. https://forums.wincustomize.com/357264

If zenimax uses their influence to create a new Commander Keen, I'll be VERY happy and it will be one of the best mergers ever.

I enjoyed it. I have good and bad things to say, most of which I will avoid for the sake of spailers. I will say, I like how they throw in references to not just the generation 1 transformers. Personally I want mostly G1 stuff, since I'm a fanboy, but its nice to see other characters as well. I was almost expecting Sam witwiky to be turned into Rodimus prime or something head-masters style when he had the matrix of leadership.

why is this forum a slum? (I had to look it up in a dictionary because I never heard the word used as a verb. It says that it means visiting places percieved as lower class areas, namely slums, for entertainment or curiousity) @wintersong: I managed to talk Luckmann into joining our avatar swap. So when BoogieBac decides they have done enough polishing for an "alpha" release, then we can do it. You'll be making an avatar for me, and he for you. &

just "it won't be the 25th"

aww, I lost T_T (boogie bac confirmed 25th is not the release)

I know I thought of this kind of thing, more from scoutdog's angle. (almost no magic) Logically speaking, if a group feared and hated magic, they would not use counter magic. The idea of "fighting fire with fire" just does not work to a group that has a deep hatred of fire. They would accept the bare minimum from their channeler, treating it is a "nessicary evil" and lash out with prejudice against anything else. I'd want this faction to limit the

Also, it's white, it's beautiful, it can heal the wounded, it is linked in harmony to nature and forests and tends to protect these. If it's evil the creature doesn't make any sense as of above.

I vote its too late. you have to pick another date ^_^ (its funny because it rhymed)

Frogboy said they plan to open a new studio. I was under the impression that this 2nd studio would be in the same building.

curses, I was tryiing to cover both 25th and 26th by saying "3-4" but it looks like you've (risinglegend) forced me into "completely on time: June 25th"
