everyday, move their desk an inch to one side when they are not looking. you have to keep it up over the course of many months, they would eventually notice... and many months later would start to get irritated

[quote who="Tridus" reply="6" id="2243162"]Given that we're talking about weapons like swords, bows, etc, we're probably looking at pre-firearm type weapons. It's possible that cannons as artillery could be around, but I hope not. Pre-gunpowder lets you have fun with catapults and trebuchets, which I always like watching be animated. [/quote] Even if some technology is post-gunpowder, I'd want punpowder weapons themselves to be excluded to put more emphisis on the fantasy elements. &n

[quote who="Kitkun" reply="15" id="2243056"] Well, I think not just pics, but also scanned copies of bear cavalry drawn by Brad.Haven't you seen the older Elemental journals? [/quote] I've found pictures of horse cavalry drawn by Brad, but not yet bear cavalry.

I would like things like a meteor core falling as part of a random event, then letting you forge a special sword from it. I'm sure we could think of similar ideas Event related monster appears, and you can make especcially effective potions from its blood Event related locust swarm appears and eats a bunch of crops, but you can somehow kill them in mass (magical insectiside) and for whatever reason the released life energy of each insect is comparable to a human, givin

I know in a few RTS games have the option to change victory conditions between "destroy all buildings" and "destroy all buildings AND units" before a player is removed from the game. It isn't unreasable to think we could have several options for what counts as a player's "death" as well as the results of what happens when that occurs. I know I'd be interested in a game type that allowed me to capture the master wizard tower and gain control of all said wizard's territory.

I'm very excited to see the tech tree. I'm not really sure what to say. I kinda hope the starting technology is at least post-ancient roman empire.

@katabroc: stardock has some pretty clear DRM policies. They try to limit DRM as much as possible, since there is no sense to hurt the experiance of paying users just to stop pirates that are likely going to hack the game anyway. Very likely, the only DRM of any kind will be the use of registering the game's key on impulse to obtain updates.

I just want to say thank you to all the support (I feel embarrassed for the semi-praise)

the team looked smaller than I expected.

they say that they intend for everything that could be done on the regular 3D map to be accessable from the cloth map. Building things and directing troops is on the list of things that can be done for sure. I'm not really sure what wouldn't be possible from the map. Perhaps entering dungeons?

I do wonder how many people are going to be in the drawing. I mean, just how many people have all three titles? It would be nice to know my chances.

But we do know for sure. Look at the dev journal about spells here. https://forums.elementalgame.com/352520 Not all spells take essense. I think it was directly stated in another dev post somewhere, but I'm not sure where that is.

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="2" id="2237845"]As long as there's not a specific 'cape' slot in gear, I hope something like capes are in. [/quote] I'd be fine with a neck or back slot taking up the cape. You'd also want samurai style flags on your back perhaps. Of course the only alternative that I can imagine that wouldn't require you to use a cape would be to have x number of "accessory slots" that could go to armlets, belts, capes, or whatever. But then you hav

your solutions seem very specific. Obviously number 1 is only for the cons of the tactical battles. I'm sure the tactical battles will be interesting, so I have little input to give. for 2: I haven't played Dominions 3, so could you explain it? 3. I don't think there should be a stat for auto-resolve. Because then nobody would use the stat, and nobody would use the auto-resolve. Or they would maximize the auto

I'd only want them as an excuse to create elemental bannors (they have official bannors for Sins of a Solar Empire) I'm tempted to create bannors anyway, even though I don't see any demand for them.

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="12" id="2237058"]Yeah, the beast of burden mechanic is something we don't need. And a biologist on staff wouldn't hurt: I know that there are biologists who work specifically as consultants for movies, and they would probably be willing to do games as well.[/quote] they are used in movies for a number of reasons. And certainly there could be one used in a game, especially when it comes to creating a 'living world' as elemental might be striving to a

sims 3 makes me sad. I don't want my sim to get old. In sims 2 you could buy these water-jugs of life to keeep your age down, but there is no stopping it in Sims 3. your sim gets old and die. ('cause my fav part is getting my sim to a good job then building the biggest most crazy house I can for him/her)

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="5" id="2238639"] Quoting Wintersong, reply 4Let us alhpa test the start menu of the game. Sadly, that would probably enthrall me for hours. I'd sit there staring at it, imagining that I'm playing a game of Elemental.[/quote] I'd probebly create mock-up interfaces based on it to show how the interface could be improved.

yeah... he's uh... double jointed at the shoulder. (I had to whip out a picture in very short amount of time, give me a break for my cheap photoshop work) I wouldn't say it was original.... he just looked too serious, so I had to put a smile on his face. camp: #whatever number is next: only 2 resources. Food and Gold

I was going to create my own list of things that arn't announced but I want to be. I would include monkey island, but it was announced (I was surprised) along with golden sun (I was expecting that one) I want a dungeon keeper to be announced! I play every E3 (playing gome me a monkey island, so perhaps it will work with dungeon keeper) I also expected a Kid Icurus game to be announced. So my list of games that have been

Star trek Enterprise (which I believe came before the original series) I thought included a borg episode. So even with the 2009 movie alternate timeline they have already encountered the borg.

I'm not sure that is entirely true. In Civ 4 they target other players for a number of reasons, which often mean that AI are targeting people other than the weakest opponent. Obviously the AI isn't going to attack somebody against whom they would totally be crushed, which is why it might seem that way. I do hope this game has that level of AI complexity. but frogboy seems pretty sure of his AI abilities.

I'm really torn on how I want resources. I love the idea of being able to have every resource available to me, however at the same time I want to be able to play elemental in a more classic and casual way with just a few resources. I have never played a strategy game with 100+ resources that I can remember, so I can't say its bad. But I imagine it will be different enough that I will also want a natural resource only mode... or perhaps a "retro resource" mode that is only

I personally am against Bear Calvary. I hate them. Worst idea ever. I love bear cavalry, I do hope they make it into the game. But Bear Calvary are the most stupid unit ever created.

ferengi have pointy teeth and funny foreheads. I fear them. Is this based on something from star trek? Like I mean, in star trek do they ever talk about a "ferengi effect"? I know when they first showed up in TNG, they said they don't do business face to face. So at first I thought there was some sort of result of this. However, then I remembered in TNG, everytime after the 1st episode, ferengi seem to love doing face to face business (wanting to b
