[quote]hope this won't degenerate into the "5 commonly used, 15 seldom used, 80 never used" syndrom[/quote] Well, in theory you will always end up in that place. (maybe not 80 never used, that is far to big, lets keep to the 5 commonly used, 15 seldomly used, and 15 never used) Its just before you have 35 spells, you have only those 15 never used spells that you must research to to reach the 15 never used spells which at that point are the 5 always used spells. and

[quote]haha...um, ok but that's greek to me. What program?[/quote] anything that supports transparecies or layers (photoshop and gimp are the 1st two that come to mind) then save as a '.png' file.

I have cast post-necromancy to bring about a new idea. What about global events that call for actions upon which players can vote on how to respond, but the responce is the responce of the whole world. For example: (idea here is based upon the conference here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwhIDTRBdA4 and also seen in the "united nations" thread) Say a random event occurs like

create a character: Fan service series (I plan to make more of these. It labels it to be an un-original character that I hope will bring a smile to everybody's face) Name: Bob the builder Hair/eye color: brown (wears hardhat) portrait: <img src=" http://www.parteaz.co.uk/cms/files/Bob%20the%20Builder%20icon%20v8.jpg" alt="" width="350" height=

Name: Freed hair/eye color: black (short mullet hair) portrait: coming soon history: He was a premature birth which was seen as a bad omen and unmanly of his father, as a result he was abused and treated poorly. He grew cold and unloving of others, especially after some rough conflicts involving local waring states. After a tramatic experiance involving being captured by a war-group, he left his home to become a bounty hunter.&n

[quote]Also the cheat argument is ridiculous, as for single player games it doesn't matter how other people want to play their games and calling it cheating doesn't make any sense. You can't really cheat yourself in any meaningful way.[/quote] all I meant is that if they were cheating anybody it was themselves by deny themselves the challange of a good game. I'm not implying anything about the meaning of it, just that there isn't any reason we should care. The

Tova7, we have a huge list of circle avatars here. https://forums.elementalgame.com/329621 most are not used by anybody else yet if you want a unique one.

I guess I should post this here It was a joke about riding a super model rather than a bear in the "create-a-hero" thread. So the super-model cavarly was born. I think a guy claimed it already though. I didn't make it for anybody in particular, but he said he added it to his profile and I haven't seen him post since.

Well, thats just it. Including Denethor and Theodin are bad examples, they may be leaders but they arn't wizards. Sauron, Galdalf, and Sauruman are good examples. And they DID meet in a way. Sauron was a little less of a person than the other two, so he couldn't really do it directly but I can't imagine that we'd really be like Sauron. It would be gandalf vs. sauruman in this game. And they did talk, but nothing ever passed because the

[quote]Just how bad was that cataclysm? Is there anything like a legacy aristocracy that might toss out a miscreant son like Leo? If the official back story has no room for a champion like Leo, will the custom-content functionality enable landi to build a home for him? Inquiring minds want to know.[/quote] good question. I would make him a custom hero if nothing else (since obviously I would have limets) or maybe my own mod. I mean I imagine his existing family would be so

I'm on a roll! Name: Commiac hair/eye: Red hair, brown eyes (big bushy beard) Portrait: (see above) Base class: Acolyte/priest History: Ever since his youth, Commic has been deticated to his lord. He is deticated to spreading the world of his god and to protecting the weak. He forswore his love and other earthy emotions to better his pursuit of his savior. Strong stats: Toughness Will <p

I feel inspired... Name: Leo Hair/eye: dirty blonde / brown (short cut hair with loose fitting martial arts outfit) portrait: (less likely than Julius, but maybe) History: Leo was a young noble son who was put out of his rich life at a young age due to financial issues in his family. He was taken under the wing of a less wealthy uncle who taught him to dance and fight with almost every martial weapon available.

Name: Julius the bard Hair/eye: light brown hair / hazel eyes (hair tied into large braids that go down to lower back. Very bright clothing) portrait: (comming soon) History: He started as a poor pickpocket/begger as a child who was recruited by a circus for his slight of hand tricks. He learned acting and swordplay as part of the proformances given to entertain villages. Sadly the circus was attacked by merauders

[quote]i can see my image now but i cant see it at my older posts before i upload[/quote] That is a different story entirely. And that is also universal to matter what version of flash you have.

Well, it would be the channelers, not kings or normal men/fallen. So I imagine that it would be something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdqXKa-DCpA&feature=related It wouldn't be the kingdoms themselves, but the rulers meeting in some magic-commune. This is EXACTLY how I imagine it would be. We have the 4 player factions, Red, blue, yellow, and green. Red is ob

I just want my spells to be flashy and useful. If they are flashy enough, then the same spell over and over again will still be fun. In Age of Wonders 2, when I cast hell fire, its like "OOOHHH eat that BI*CH!" or even in Pokemon Yellow for the original GB, I use "Hyper beam" (an over used move at the time) and it inverts all the colors and shoots a beam. Its flashy, so I'm just like "IN YOUR FACE" when I use it. I want my combat spells to be like that. Ev

There was some discussion of the save thing back in the 'what every game should have' thread. Many turn-based strategy games these days (at least inteligent systems games and Civ 4) have it setup so loading the game won't change the variables. So like if you attack somebody and lose, then load your game, you will still lose if you attack them. I don't think in a TBS game you can really take away the save feature entirely, you'll just have to except that some people wil

Hydrogen fuel cell cars are supposed to enter public market this year. I want to say by Honda and Toyoda, but don't quote me on that.

yeah, I had to uninstall flash 10 and then use IE. Firefox or chrome still didn't work. (start/run "iexplore" is the way to go)

Well, I have a job. I just want a different one that might have some sort of career path. >_>; I think I might take your diet goal as well zubaz.

man, this looks like I'd be interested in the video, if I could understand it. I've been trying to find a video about it in english, but I can't. This is a sad day for me, since this looks like a pretty solid indy title (I like indipendent devs) There is a demo on the main site. maybe I'll check that out

bagh, I tire of this. I've been staring at this for the last while. I'll come back to it later, but I said I'll post it. I just haven't been happy with what I've written for any reason. Basically they are a bunch of nut-jobs that somehow come off as being goodguys even though they are really crazy mad-scientists (with magic) Empire of Impural The nation of Impural is an empire driven to b

no no no. OK, I'll... figure out a way to fix it. But basically, it is "DO SOMETHING" and "WE WILL RATE IT IN MARCH" and "THE 5 PEOPLE WHO WE LIKE BEST WILL GET A SHIRT. THE TWO WE LIKE THE MOST WILL GET A PC GAME TOO!" I updated so that hopefully it will be easier for others to understand. Let me know if it is better

It would be cool if they had a quest or something that suddenly made that 'officer-level' unit special. Like a random event that would upgrade, or something. Otherwise they wouldn't be a cool hero, they'd just be some bum you plucked out of your army.

[quote]Yeah but I'm kinda taking it as read that any spell SD put in the game will be useful I mean I know it's another arbitrary comparison with Master of Magic (forgive me as it's really my only frame of reference for spell use in a 4x game), but I've never felt while playing that game that there was a huge surfeit of unneccessary spells slapped into it.[/quote] The lack of other 4X spells is exactly why this game needs to be made. There really arn't many (HoMM and AoW a
