[quote] I think it will be fun, but I also think this list is a bit early.[/quote] What's wrong with getting a head start?[e digicons]:P[/e] Now if there were no mods announced, I would agree with you. But so long as there is more than 3 mods, I think that is enough for a list.
[quote who="Tormy-" reply="32" id="2446066"]Mods? What the hell? What's the point in creating a topic like this 1y before the release of the game? [/quote] For one thing, the release is in less than a year, since the plan is still for it to come out August 2010. And creating the list early is way easier than making it a month or two after release, when there will be tons of mods started/being worked on. And there are already mods being started, so why not?

[quote]Calling beta "fun" right now would be stretching the truth a bit. Especially since for some people it still doesn't even work. There isn't exactly a lot "game" in there yet either.[/quote] Shhh![e digicons]:X[/e] Don't listen to him Frogboy! Ignore the person behind reply #16! @Rishkith: You're missing the point. In the video Brad said that bete testers would get fancy 3d graphics once we all agreed that the current system is "fun." Therefore, the cloth map is fun[e di
[quote who="Raven X" reply="17" id="2445521"] Quoting kyogre12, reply 15 Updated You can add a description to mine if you'd like. Description: Experience the Epic "War of the Lance". Play as the intrepid band of Heroes, play as your favorite faction to save the world of Krynn, or play as the forces of the dark Queen Takhisisk to conquer all in your path. [/quote] Done. I prefer to leave the description blank
So if we say the beta is fun as it is right now, we get the 3d graphics?[e digicons]:pout:[/e] I'm pretty sure that's what Frogboy just said in the video[e digicons]:P[/e]

[quote who="Raven X" reply="12" id="2444887"]You can change the picture for what each faction has as it's symbol, and I believe it was Landi who showed us that backgrounds on cards can be changed. Those might be little things, but that's still technically "Modding". [/quote] Ah, ok. I that case I did know about that, I've already started adding 2d art. I thought you meant there were some Stardock supported modding functions already in (map editor, etc)
[quote who="Raven X" reply="10" id="2444769"] Quoting Rishkith, reply 9 I for one would love to see a dedicated forum to modding Elemental when beta is further along. I'm %100 sure they'll add a new section to the forums for it. Most likely sooner then later as well since some certain modding functions are already in place. [/quote] Completely agree. But what modding functions are already in? I haven't seen anything, and I've dig
[quote]lol No, not saying that at all. Actually Yarlen stickied it after Boogiebac said it would be useful. I think in order to get your list stickied you'd have to have a lot of Mods to keep track of. When the Mods start adding up though it will be a good idea and you might be able to get it stickied then. A piece of advice though my friend, if you're going to try to get a sticky and they grant it to you, make sure you plan on keeping up with it long term. I'm already planning having to upda
[quote]Nice list btw. Good luck getting it stickied. I had to pull a few strings to get mine stuck. Not to mention this whole list thing turned out to be a lot more work then I bargained for, but that's ok. Anything to help out and make the game better.[/quote] So you're saying I should bombard Kyro with PM's to get it stickied?[e digicons]:P[/e] I bet he'll like that[e digicons];P[/e] And you have to do way more work to keep yours updated than I do. I mean, there's like 3 ne
RavenX, I'm not really sure if you are "officially" making your mod or not. I saw a post of yours when I was searching for mods saying that you want to create a Dragonlance mod, and you had some ideas down, but it was also a thread about modding in general. So if you want me to take yours down, let me know.
Partly insipred by RavenX's suggestion list: https://forums.elementalgame.com/365404 I have decided to create a list of all Elemental mods. There aren't very many yet (I could only find 3[e digicons]:P[/e] ) but eventually I imagine there will be a lot of them, and it would be nice to have a place to see them all. This list will include everything, total conversions, map packs, graphical improvement mods, ones that just add one race
Holy c#$%! I just saw this post! Amazing! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] I'm going to have to finally make a post about my tower-essence idea, just to get on this list. But you have waaaay too much free time[e digicons]:P[/e]
oooh[e digicons]:drool:[/e] Did I see trebuchets there (or some sort of city defence thingy? Besides the tower I mean)?
[quote who="heavenlysynn" reply="4" id="2441625"] yea I am not a zelda fan so I wouldn't understand half the references. [/quote] Fair enough. For anyone who does though, it is pretty awesome[e digicons];P[/e]
Hey! You totally stole my idea for using essence to create Barad-dur![e digicons]XO[/e] I've been posting about that for months!... well, not really. I don't think I've mentioned it for at least a month, but still![e digicons]:P[/e] um... anyway, I like this idea (obviously[e digicons]:P[/e] )
Ok, here is the large version of the White Tree
More 2d art! Yay! I put the White Tree of Gondor in: It's a little small there, I'll get the full size one up soon. I still can't figure out how to change the names, and I've looked in pretty much every game file.
Take a look at how Sins: Entrechment stacks mods. I assume something similar to that would be entirely doable with Elemental. It basically does the priority system that you are suggesting. It doesn't work so great when things overlap, but for the most part it allows you to mix+match your mods.
[quote who="Terran_242" reply="6" id="2436501"] There will be Fallen dragons? I can't wait to see those! Frogboy has said in the past that they're not going to rely on fantasy creatures in the story (only human factions). That said, they're probably an elite caste that you can entice into your service. The question is are they going to be treated like a herd of horses, or will they have the option of becoming real citizens eventually? [/quote]
[quote]The Fallen come in many shapes and sizes but are all, ultimately, derived from either men or dragons.[/quote] There will be Fallen dragons? I can't wait to see those![e digicons]:drool:[/e] And what is this RPG that you're "starting to work on"?
I assume based off of your suggestion that roads can be used as a distraction or to avoid danger, you are suggesting also that the player can choose the path a road follows, as opposed to the current system where it automatically does it. If you are suggesting that, I totally agree, although I think there should be an option to just do the automatic shortest distance method, so that if you are connecting interior, unlikely to be attacked cities you don't have to do anything. As for yo
I put the eye of Sauron in game as the logo for one of the Fallen races[e digicons]\o/[/e] : I can't find what to edit to change the name to "Mordor" though[e digicons]:'([/e]
Yeah, but the Haradrim were pretty much under Sauron's control. I mean, they didn't really have any free will whatsoever, they just did whatever Sauron wanted them to. Whether the orders came directly from him or not, it was still all exactly what he wanted. And when they attacked Minas Tirith, they were following his orders (through the Witch King). That said, I will grant you that your last two points are good reasons to make them playable. I don't know. Maybe they will be NPC's lik
I'm considering getting this (or at least adding it to my Xmas list[e digicons]:P[/e] ) but I wasn't sure if I should get the PC or Xbox version. I've heard that the Xbox graphics aren't nearly as good as on the PC, that they're all washed out, etc. Has anyone seen both? Is it really that bad in comparrison? And then there is the standard edition vs. special edition. Is the special edition stuff worth it? And added to that, the Xbox special edition is $15 more than the PC special version ($7
