[quote]I could fill the whole Mod up with just LotR factions or just Dragonlance Factions, but this isn't a pure LotR or Dragonlance Mod. It's a mixing of universes. I hope that clears up a little better what I mean.[/quote] Especially considering I'm doing a pure LotR mod[e digicons]:P[/e]
I'm changing the name of the mod. Lord of the Elements just wasn't cutting it, and I wanted a more descriptive name. So the new name is The Rise of Mordor.

On principle, yes I would rather buy the PS3 version rather than being forced to use Steamworks. To say I'm not supporting PC gaming is nonsense. I spend more on PC games than console games hands-down, with the great majority bought from Impul

[quote who="MadMagnus" reply="26" id="2690931"]You know, if there were only 5 pieces for everyone to fight over, it'd be like players in Smash Brothers Brawl fighting over pieces of that dragoon item from Kirby's franchise.

This is what, the tenth thread about this in the last month? They aren't rushing the game. As of last week they were ahead of schedule, adn considering everyone worked over the weekend, I doubt that has changed. And as Brad has posted every other time this has come up, a lot can happen in the last couple weeks between the closing of the public beta and the final release. GalCiv didn't have starbases, Sins had a different economy and was missing one of the factions, etc, etc. And as An

[quote]Quoting kyogre12, reply 1 I actually like that it's been moved. From my understanding of Frogboy's post about it, the Faction creator was moved to allow it to be more complex than just choosing a couple traits and a color and being done with it. I agree to an extent, however, that the sovereign creator should be moved with it. I actually missed that post and didn't find out that it was moved until late last night. I had just thought it was moved becaus

I'm pretty sure Stardock ships outside the US, although I'm pretty sure you'll be paying a lot for shipping and such. I'm almost positive that back around their respective releases I saw the Collecters Editions of Sins and Demigod in my local Target. But that's still in the US, I wouldn't know if they did that elsewhere. Buying direct from Stardock is probably your best option if you're out of the US.
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="3" id="2682025"]Nope, you're not wrong. Stardock traditionally is the only seller of their collector's edition, other stores just carry regular.

As Frogboy likes to mention, GalCiv didn't have starbases in the public beta, but they were in the final game. The Sins economy
[quote who="otakucore2" reply="19" id="2680431"]I guess you could use trial versions to do the format conversions, and then work in Blender? I prefer to keep things as "honest" as I can, because otherwise you're learning skills you can't use professionally (unless your workplace has those high-end 3D apps). Maybe there's an importer/exporter for one of the less expensive apps, like Hexagon ($250), Carrara ($150-$550), or Cinema 4D ($1,000). Blender would be ideal.

Wow, that is an awesome tutorial, thanks for pointing it out. Yeah, I have no idea about animations and such either. I've only modeled buildings and ships, and with a different program. Oh well, I'll do my best to try to figure it out.

See this thread: https://forums.elementalgame.com/384302 It will answer some of you questions. HKB is the format for Intel's Havok. If you google "Intel Havok" or something similar, you should find the site, and you can get free plugins for 3DS Max, Maya, or XSI/Softimage. With the plugin you should be able to at least export (I'm not sure about import) HKB's and from there hypothetically get them in-game, although you will probably h
