Just put up an update. I was away from my computer for a couple days, so it's actually from Friday... On the plus side, pretty much every one on the forums has already seen the FAQ.[e digicons]:P[/e]
This is awesome! Although now I have to learn Python[e digicons];P[/e]
BoogieBac already posted the link, but I put the twitter update for it up as well[e digicons]:grin:[/e]
[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="24" id="2313286"]Well, true AI is inevitible, but the only reason an intelligent machine would have to wipe out all of humanity would be if we were in danger of destroying the would ourselves (maybe not even then), so the point is rather moot. [/quote] I've decided I'm going to be the one who who makes the sentient AI bent on wiping out humanity[e digicons]}:)[/e] I have come to the conclusion that 99% of people are moronic dipsh!ts unwor
[quote]They make use of continuous turns. This makes the battles play out much like a real time strategy game but without feeling a rush. The Corporate Machine was one of the early games to make use of continuous turns. Some have said that Sins of a Solar Empire plays like a continuous turn game. The idea is that winning tactical battles has nothing to do with speed or reflexes but strictly strategy and tactics. Players can control the rate in which time units pass, pause while giv
Yay! The real July FAQ! So is the aplha still on for August 6th?[e digicons]:drool:[/e]
New update! And it's a video! Even better[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="4" id="2313129"]Ugh! I thought we were going to get another survey. Of course, things could be worse...... he could have created a new accout with the name Frogboy (that's Frogboy, followed by a space so as not to show up as taken), then posted that..... [/quote] Don't give him ideas![e digicons];P[/e]
[quote]Sins of a Solar Empire: The real-time engine. This would have been a great game if it hadn't been stuck as RT"S". I found the clickfest made it totally unplayable.[/quote] Technically, it's an RT4X, not an RTS[e digicons]:P[/e] And if you consider Sins a clickfest, what other RTS's have you played? With Sins, I can just tell my fleet to jump to a planet, and not do anything else, just watch the battle. You don't even have to manually place your structures. I gue
Just put up the first update of week 6, although odds are good that if you check this forum, you've already seen the Dev Journal mentioned.
wow, three at a time, and infinite research. To me, that means there's going to be a lot of different research topics.
[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="12" id="2304870"]kyogre, I want to thank you again for providing this service. I also want to thank the Elemental devs for not wasting their time thinking about Twitter very much, and to share a news link with other folks who are also beyond ready to see Twitter fritter away into the dustbin of old fads. [/quote] No problem. I agree, twitter is pretty annoying, but how else will I get karma[e digicons]:P[/e] ? I haven't actually posted a
I just updated it with the 1st post of week 5.
[quote]p.s. Wouldn't turning an enemy city wall into a wall of fire help them defend against you? Or do you mean something more like a wildfire spell that starts with a large boundary and works inward?[/quote] I was thinking more along the lines of turning your own walls into fire, kind of like "upgrading" them, making it easier to defend that city.
[quote who="Shurdus" reply="14" id="2304210"]Those ideas indeed reflect LotR accurately and I applaud that you summarised them so well. However, those ideas will probably not be implemented because we all know that in SP games the player will probably not be lost ever, so those items will probably be overpowered and therefore not a very good idea to add to the game. [/quote] Yeah, they would probably be overpowered. I've been trying to think of why you would ever loose your ring/
[quote]Just installed the update released yesterday (7-14-09) and my problem is still there - the fences themselves hide just fine with double-click on the desktop but the icons within the fences don't & stay visible on the desktop.[/quote] I was under the impression that it was supposed to do that, so you can clearly see your desktop. You can exclude something from quickhide, so it stays visable when you doubleclick.
[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="11" id="2303799"] Quoting kyogre12, reply 9 ...This brings me to a question I have. How much can we "parallel" Lord of the Rings? Will we be able to infuse essence into our keep/tower/fortress/etc to make it nearly indestrucable? Can we infuse most/all of our channeler's essence into an object (ring, armor, magical boot etc) and use it to increase their power, but at the cost of if it is destroyed, we are destroyed, o
[quote]I am not sure if I am now wording it correctly, but I feel like part of the feel of both Emelental and Lord of the Rings is the mystique. Orthanc is amazing because no builders who still live could construct a tower like that again. If you however can build this tower yourself then the mystique is gone even though he functionality would still be the same. In the end if you care little about the mythical feel then being able to build these fortresses would be perfectly fine. Limiting on
I don't suppose that IC mentioned anything about the next Sins expansion when they were there?[e digicons]:drool:[/e] We haven't heard anything about it since you posted a couple months ago saying it was delayed to late summer (delayed from when?[e digicons];P[/e] ) Is there any chance you'll be hiring in about... 5-6 years? Please?[e digicons]:grin:[/e]
updated [quote who="astrath" reply="8" id="2295419"]IC to SD hopefully some Sins news will be on the way, [/quote] I agree, we really need some news on the next expansion.

I feel that I have to post Zoomba's response to the first update, just because it is so funny[e digicons]:D[/e] He said: [quote] zoomba @ TeamElemental I wonder what the fine would be for the inappropriate use of "moo

[quote]I don't think the "internet = series of tubes" senator, Ted Stevens, is the one to blame for that one.[/quote] yeah, I edited my post saying that. I think I thought it was him because the other day I was trying to find out who said the internet = series of tubes while also looking at pictures on failblog. I have now learned the trying to learn something and failblog do not mix[e digicons];P[/e]
