don't be mad Kitkun (I see that angry face) I'm sure you'll be able get a pre-order. and you'll get a shirt for your efforts! I mean the winners of this contest truely have a limited edition elemental T-shirt. I mean SUPER limited edition. So limited edition only like 10 of these shirts exist in the world. Maybe you can keep it saved until the game is so crazy popular it rivals pokemon or something, then sell it on Ebay for lots-o-money.

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="1" id="2124301"] You'll be able to create maps with INTERNAL tools and upload them to the central library for everyone to enjoy [/quote] I assume these internal tools will allowed for everybody to use ^_^ How easy do you plan to have things like event triggers be to create? In HoMM 2 and 3 (didn't much play with HoMM4's editor, and 5's editor didn't ship with the game so I already played the crap out of it by the time the e

nah, that was an april fools (if it wasn't obvious. The real winners are the people who posted. The order of prizes goes: Winner 4 entry # 2: Luckman Luckmann created two entries. He didn't actually post what he created in the thread as part of the instructions, but we can't hold that against him. He is a very big contributor to the forums and likely deserved a shirt even if he didn't post anything in this

I'm in the forums of a fantasy game, but I still understand what you mean. Man, you totally threw me a trick ball. I thought I was going to come here to see some sexy nasa images. but no! just talking about sexy nasa pictures. Binary stars are cool, but wake me up when they manage to image a planet.

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="11" id="2122664"]the 12 major factions in the world at the new-dawn of post cataclysm Cartagia are these scattered remnants of the human and fallen civilizations..[/quote] Cartagia? Thats a new name on me. Was that mentioned elsewhere? Is that the official title of the campaign world?

they said something exciting was going to happen in april (I don't remember the date. It was a few days after demigod's release I recall)

I really liked the way AoW did it. You had your army stacks, but the near-by stacks would also engage in a battle, they would just start on the field farther away. So your side was effectily several tiles wide, provided you had people in all those tiles.

I build my own PCs, and no matter how much I love stardock, I would likely continue to build my own.* I get a sense of satisfaction from dealing with all the monkey business of getting the system to actually post and then getting drivers and such to work out. I would recommend it to friends though.

oh noes. I'll be caught (I edit my posts like a fiend. Correcting typos and adding new ideas because I don't like double posting if I was the last person to post)

@ PunningPundit - that is already been explained. Both the 32-bit and 64-bit version will be one 1 disc, i.e. you will only buy it once and get both versions. man, the jokes that are going to come from playing on a 'wee map' (I highly support having a size under tiny called 'wee')

Banned because you're avatar looks like darth vader before he was awesome.

if there is to be a save/continue feature, I'd want an auto-save feature similar to fire emblem 7, where if you quit at any time (including crash) the game would load from the last point which it saved (begining of turn or end of last battle, whatever is picked) and if that save is bad, then the one before it. I really don't think much of save features. I feel like too much variance would only cause frustration without really helping the game.

The part where half your empire defects is one that kills me. I agree that one (or anything like it) should have some sort of warning, because the blow is just too great for my tastes. I personally want major events like that one to have some sort of courcil meeting type thing as discussed in a few other threads. Where the heads of an alliance or the heads of the entire world get together in an emergancy meeting to figure out what to do about this new event.

Our Winners! its reverse order, even though its text, because thats how you do it! Anyway, because only 4 people posted in this forum, all the winners are from the super secret forum that only people with 50+ karma can access. Sorry normal guys.

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="3" id="2119148"]A units representation is dependent on a number of factors... 1. Computer Specs: Higher end machines will be able to show more units, lower end boxes condencing said visual representation. 2. Zoom Level: Zoom in to see an army in all it's glory, zoom out and it'll be represented via the Champion unit they're grouped under. 3. Game Mode: You'll be seeing fewer units on the main map then in the tactial battle. <

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="8" id="2119501"]Actually, some of my most memorable moments in gaming came from failing in a boss battle (ran from too many encounters, didn't have the proper strategy, etc), leveling-up my party, and returning to kick the crap out of said boss. [/quote] a leveling story I want to relate: Back when I was young, and I didn't make some obvious connections while playing my RPGs, there was an RPG called "phantasy star 4" (an awesome game)

are you suggesting like a victory animation or something? I mean just having the option to spend a little extra gold to get a morale boost really isn't frivolous. That isn't bad actually. Sounds like it would meke it hard to steam roll though (for good or for worse) since a single defensive victory could be used to boost further defences.

[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="3" id="2119038"]Ummm... how will Elemental support 64-bit XP? Impulse doesn't support 64-bit XP.[/quote] obviously they will have to fix that. (though, 64.bit XP is pretty broken in my experiance. I don't think anything supports it really. I mean, does 64-bit photoshop even support it?) I'm running impulse on 64-bit windows 7 right now and it works just fine. I mean impulse is running as a 32-bit program, but tha

[quote who="NTJedi" reply="9" id="2119028"] On the same note why not create a fantasy game without magic spells, but still allow the creatures? Or create a fantasy game without the magic items, but still allow the spells? [/quote] I think that is slanting solem's argument a bit. He didn't say 'no creatures' or 'no factions', he said 'why is it as important to have so many'. It is very important to have multiple factions, but reall

ahh, I feel you That is what I hate about moving because I have to find a new D&D group (or burning wheel, or shadow run, I'm not picky provided its consistant) and there is always this gap in time before I find a group that is able to meet in whole on a consistant basis and all have play styles that don't clash. Just because everybody is nice and gets along, doesn't mean that they are a good RP group :( And it is VERY tough to then remove (or sometimes even find) th
