[quote who="CreeDakota" reply="111" id="2709308"]I personally like the Ents as a playable faction with Treebeard as their channeller. Alot of the variables depend on the goal, the mod will look very different if the goal is to recreate the challenges and battles of the books versus using the lore to create random maps that will use LotR factions. Did I miss something or has there been no mention of the One Ring? [/quote] You definetly missed something; the f

Haha, someone said they were Hortz[e digicons]:P[/e] I can't say the results are too suprising, they're pretty much what I expected.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="32" id="2708945"]The map editor allows you to save groups of tiles as a stamp. In theory, you could easily make 4 tiles that connect with each other to form your thing, save it as a stamp, and use the stamp in maps. Then just attach the same XML info for each of the 4 tiles, so no matter which one you step on, they all behave the same. [/quote] But do the stamps ever appear on the randomly generated maps? Right now the only stamp included with the ga

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="3" id="2708927"]The choices in #7 are lacking. Just because I may not be "excited" about the vast changes doesn't mean I'm disappointed. "They are vastly different, but I like the old a little better" (along with a 'like the new a little better') would be nice options to have. ATM, I have to answer that I'm not sure what to expect because it's the least incorrect choice for me Even though I know what to expect.. [/quote] Oh yeah, I forgot

Taken. I was wondering if you were going to bring the suveys back. I was tempted to say that I was Hortz[e digicons]:P[/e] I wonder how many people will say that. Considering he had like 20 aliases...

[quote who="NiftyF" reply="5" id="2708617"] Quoting kyogre12, reply 4 make a decent game that isn't a clone of King's Bounty. It is all well and good when something is different from something else to expand the enjoyability and give new experiences, but when something is blatantly subpar in vital areas of the game then you should be concerned instead of using superficially appealing words like "clone" which creates an illusion th

Hortz! I've missed you so over these last few days. Thank goodness you've returned, I don't know what we'd do without your incredibly useful posts. Oh that's right, we'd help make a decent game that isn't a clone of King's Bounty.

Wait, what? I thought they already changed that. A resource doesn't need to be touching your city in order for you to build on it, it just needs to be in your area of influence. The only "resources" that really requires snaking are beaches so you can build a harbor.

IIRC, they said they're making enough of the Limited Edition for it to be in supply well after release. So you should be good.

Woo! My map of Middle-earth got a plug! Too bad you can't play it yet, because it's still waiting for moderation[e digicons]:P[/e]

No. Eventually things will be migrated over to Python, but initially it won't be present.

I actually made a rough draft map of Middle-earth the first couple days Beta 4 was out and uploaded it, but it still says that it's awaiting moderation... I'm not sure if it's a bug with the system or what. But it's probably for the be

[quote who="k10w3" reply="62" id="2707048"]I found this in the news today: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/08/05/churchill-ordered-ufo-cover-up/ [/quote] I think it's worth noting the sentence just below the article; "The Sun contributed to this report." The Sun is one of the worst places to get any sort of legitimate news. It's just a step up from all the conspiracy websites. I'd take anything they say with a lot of salt... like the whole shaker[e digicons]:P[/e]

[quote who="Das123" reply="109" id="2706964"]By the way, the Third Age mod doesn't just require Medieval II, it also requires the expansion pack 'Kingdoms' as well. [/quote] Yeah, the gold pack is $16 on Amazon and $30 on Steam... Also, the colors are fixed now, which was way more painful than it should have been.

Ugh, I just realized there's a bunch of black text in the OP that you can't really see on the new forums. Should be fixed soon.

[quote]I'd strongly suggest you try out the Third Age mod for Medieval 2. Not because it is a great mod (which it is), but because of how they handled the same sort of story-line issues we are discussing. I enjoy playing that Mod up to a point then get bored with it, but they have done a good job balancing the realms of Middle Earth. And the settings are before the Fellowship of the Ring so they are dealing with the world rather than trying to squeeze the story into their game-play experience

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="1" id="2706880"]Well given that there haven't been many posts with actual modded content (and only map uploading is allowed), I'm going to go ahead and guess around 0% [/quote] Well, some of the NPC's from a couple months ago might make it in, I assume. IIRC, some are in the beta. But as for everything else, I doubt it.

[quote] I doubt you'll get into the beta unfortunately with amazon & newegg. [/quote] You wouldn't, but it no longer matters as the beta is closed now, and will remain closed until the game is released. This is what comes with the limited edition: https://forums.elementalgame.com/377402 . There's also a video somewhere on the forums showing the cloth map, and there are excepts from the extended manual around a

[quote]Teleportation maybe possible, although probably unlikely. All the most likely theories of doing so have tons of problems. The spead of light being the major one. It's assumed that nothing can travel past the speed of light, however that is false. Scientists just know that past the speed of light, particles start acting in strange ways that can't yet be explained.[/quote] Sorry, but what? Do you have some evidence somewhere to back that up?

It's worth mentioning that stability and how it runs in the beta is not representative of how the release version will be. The goal is for the cloth-map version of the game to be playable on a netbook.

That's right, it finally happened[e digicons]:P[/e] Thank you very much whichever SD employee made it happen (I'm fairly sure it was Kyro, but it might have been Cari). Either way, thank you!

Notice anything different about this post? [e digicons]:P[/e] Thank you!

[quote who="G3mpi3" reply="34" id="2706231"] I don't know if I'm missiong the point you're trying to make or what, but what does that have to do with teleportation? Or are you just saying "It's not possible now, but will be in the future?" Well of course it's not possible now. The point is, we can't comprehend the mechanism of teleportation because it hasn't been discovered yet. At this point in time, we only understand 3 dimensions, but there is definitely a possibility
