Landisaurus uses: Life magic + Web-magic to cast: mainly because this was from eons ago when there were less people on this forum (and some different people) so I'm curious if any newer members of the forum have an opinion.

For those that have been here a long time, you may remember my pitching for having multiple pre-saved spell books. ( example , and again ) in my previous posts, I talked about having pre-sets including "weak magic" (having only the basic low level spells, or making the strong spells especially difficult/rare to recieve), "Strong Magic" (having easy access to many very powerful spe

[quote who="Wahngrok" reply="7" id="2255078"]I like tactical combat - especially in a fantasy setting. What good are fantasic creatures if they can't show off on the battlefield? [/quote]well, this game is supposedly a bit more light on the fantastic creatures than say, Heroes of Might and magic. So it may be reasonable to say that tactical combat should be more of a second thought. However, I too am pro-tactical, since I generally enjoy it. I wouldn't mind

I personally am on for either 4 or 6 elements, just because 5 seems unbalanced (there is nothing to balance 'life', so it seems it covers more ground than the 4 primary elements)

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="13" id="2253498"] it to be the spell of mastery exactly, which was a 'universal' spell "Universal spell" sounds like a spell that uses all four (or five, whatever) elements. Care to explain the difference?[/quote] one takes any kind of mana you give it, the other requires all 5 specifically. Think "artifact" fram Magic the gathering vs. multicolored (gold) with all 5 colors

I love filling out surveys personally. As long as they arn't like 15 pages long *shakes fist at AT&T* *flame flame* (I need to keep this flame war alive) *burns* *sizzles*

[quote who="Kitkun" reply="11" id="2253454"] Anyways, I'm all for huge late-game FU spells. Perhaps one so powerful it simply wipes a portion of the map away entirely, forever. As in, miniature black hole kind of thing. [/quote] the cloth map could get a scortch mark (like a burn through to the table) and the 3D map could have same sexy looking black hole or bottomless pit (I perfer something with particle effects, but I'd take a great pit)

[quote who="Sevenix" reply="17" id="2253164"]When do we get our 20% off coupons so I can preorder Elemental? .[/quote] I preordered it at a point when it costed less than it does now. I even contacted sales about it (I assume thats melibee) for fear I didn't have the collector's edition somehow, but was assured its just because I was one of the first to pre-order. at the time it was $40 or $45 (don't remember exactly) so the 20% off thing might have been missed alre

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="15" id="2252508"]Variable mounts.[/quote] seconded (how could there not be? Age of Empires, Total war, HoMM, warhammer, warcraft, and pretty much every other fantasy game that comes to mind has at least 1 mounted unit/character that has a different mount from the standard mount [horse]. The only exception I can find being Final Fantasy, but they don't use horses at all. They use a series-specific bird, and often in is a variable bas

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="6" id="2253309"] On Darkodinplus' crit of landi's Planet Rebirth spell, I don't see any faults with it on the 5-elements level. Blasted lands surely include fouled air, and probably some 'inappropriate' fire (volcanism). Plus, you could use fire has that general-purpose destructive aspect that you could apply to purging undesirable stuff, including boiling water to leave behind a bunch of dissolved nastiness while clean steam escapes[/quote] t

though the meandering is pretty repeditive and unrealistic looking. My theory is they plan to have it meander and they haven't gotten that entirely working just right. But the point does stand that roads are not going to be perfectly straight.

woah, a Zubaz comment. not used to seeing you in here :P

[quote who="Kitkun" reply="3" id="2252891"] Oh my stars and garters. Master of Magic is the 'spiritual predecessor' of Elemental, and if corporate IP/marketing crapola hadn't ensued, the game might even have officially been Master of Magic 2. I mean the spell (I hope it's named that), not what is it. It's been discussed so much here, it took me forever to realize you might think I didn't know about it. [/quote] its because everybody forgot who you were.

yeah... they really can't be compared. 1st off, metroid games have yet to be divided into 'eras' the way star trek has. There isn't enough lore behind it to do so (we don't have time frames between games the way we do between star trek episodes) And 2ndly, why the heck would you choose metroid prime 2 echoes. That is probebly the least like other metroid games.

man, that would be awesome if one of the fallen factions could fly and/or breath fire. I mean the fallen are "mostly human" after all. And when you have people like this: Who knows what we'll see. I personally would not be surprised if a few fallen factions D

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="23" id="2251575"] Frogboy knows that we're already interested in the game That's such a poetic way of saying we'll start ripping limbs off and devouring each other if we don't get to play the alpha/beta soon.[/quote] thats how I feel. I usually start by bagging a stick on a table or door (in this case, since I know where SD HQ is, it would be a plane flight to michigan to bang the stick on their door in person). If that does

I wonder if you can be a "positive" channeler leading an "evil" faction

It could just show the area under which that city has influence. Its what keeps that place nice and green. So I'm waiting to see what the alpha turns to have. I agree the toll option is pretty cool. Like allow all trade through your country, but at a price.

[quote who="lordkosc" reply="25" id="2252066"]imageshack is blocked here at my work, noooooooooo [/quote] I used to have that problem. Then I discovered proxy servers. (then I started working from home via VPN) But just for you TA-DA

running out of research in MoM always meant to me it was time pull the research slider to min and lock it. I like civilization's "future tech" idea, where there is just a generic tech at the end that can be researched over and over again with stacking bonuses. In this I'd imagine it to be something like "future war tech" "future channeling tech" and "future economy tech" giving bonuses to weapons/damage, mana usage/perturn, and money production respectivly.

[quote who="lordkosc" reply="13" id="2252097"]I wonder if multianna or eetmorsqrls pre-ordered? I miss them [/quote] I'm pretty sure eetmorsqrls has. (I'd almost expect eet to be one of the selected 24 if I saw any activity outside of the irc) but of course you'd have to ask, since I don't really know.

well, I like the community and games more than impulse itself. But I suspect kend0 is right, it gets better all the time. I personally think your selection of 6 games is wonderful. It is not far off from the 6 games I've purchased from Impulse. (replace titan quest, because I already own that, with magesty. Or just add magesty, because I don't count sins+entrenchment as 2 games)

Planet rebirth: All land on the map is converted to fertile land, natural resources that can be upgraded are automatically done. (silver to gold, coal to diamond, mithril to adamantine) Any "corrupted" places return to healthy land. Any neutral monster layers that can be captured, become the allignment of the player casting the spell. All friendly units are healed to full health and upgraded to elite vetran (or whatever the highest exp level fo

[quote who="lordkosc" reply="22" id="2251953"] you make is sound so good, sad there will be only 100 spots open... maybe I can bribe brad with a beek keepers suit?[/quote] he doesn't need a bee keeper suit. That guy just picks them up with his bare hands. (he claims drones don't sting, though I'm suspicious) but seriously, I'm sure beta 0 will be much better. So if you're not one of the "lucky" ones, your first taste will likely be a better one. D

yeah, but I'm not sure I'd really trust my laptop to play Gal Civ 2 >_> and I'd like to see if it can run this. The map also seems more simple graphically than Gal Civ 2, and the zoomed in graphics look like much steeper requirements. I'm just curious where about it is going to end up. (I forsee a very large gap between 'min' and 'recommended' settings)
