This should be in in some way, shape, or form. If not, I'll be a very unhappy intellect (for a while, then I'll go back to plotting world domination).

Na'Avi. "Avatar" only applies to the human-grown meat puppets. Common nitpick. And consider that real aliens would likely not be what we hairless apes consider at all humanoid or attractive. Expect something more like Wookies, Prawns, or Zebesian Space Pirates. I imagine some people would go in for that sort of thang....... but overall in a realistic scientific setting humans would stick with humans. That said, I see no treason why a fantasy world where disparite spec

I've heard the claims about humans' ""natural" diet/activity level/climate/sex life/whatever" before, but I had no idea statistically-significant numbers of mentally "healthy" people were actually living out the Flintstones........ the story is so implausible I question its veracity, but who could ever make something like this up !? I guess we'll always have to put up with Luddites in our midst..... at least by going Paleo they've eliminated any real possibility of blo

[quote]I hope that Elemental will have awesome animations Age of Mythology style. That game had some AWESOME spells for its day. Earthquake and meteor were just beautifully destructive. (The ground would ripple at an insane rate and buildings would crumble my god it is so sweet!)[/quote]The animations will be customizeable through a particle editor. I think it will be entirely out-of-game, though.... and I have no idea what the editor will be capable of.

That's impressive! But I'd make the dark castle bigger... and have something nasty (many somethings, actually) marching out of it towards you.

[quote]Question: What's the difference between faction and "race" in the OP? Does faction in this context mean roughly "canon race?"[/quote]I would say that faction and race are strongly related. Usually they line up, but there's no aboslute rule saying you can't have more than one "race" per faction and vice versa.

Man, they just keep on comin'! Any idea how many spells per book? And how are they organized (Book of Fire Spells / Book Of SpeedBuff Spells / Book Of Moderately Powerful Spells / Book Of Moderately Expensive Spells / Book Of Spells Whose Names Add Up To Between 100 And 300 In ASCII)?

Interesting stuff! This reassures so terribly many of my concerns about species diversity and "coolness", as well as binaryism (binarism? binarity?) when it comes to life v death/ good v evil / men v fallen.... But if the "blue-footed booby" we saw earlier is an Ele-Na'avi (that actually sounds pretty good!) it's missing the tail and I think it has the wrong number of fingers.... still, a good 1st start... I have dibs on the Ele-Prawns!

Brad, you did that specifically for Winty, didn't you?....... although it's nice to see I'll be able to mod in Andorians with very little trouble if, for some reason, I decide I want to... EDIT: And is Blue Booby a (Wo)Men-factioner, or a Fallen-factioner? Just trying to get some idea of the sort of intra species interfaction diversity we'll be seeing......

I'm also rather fond of Swamp Geth myself as well... although Marsh Geth has a nice sibilence to it..... there's also a forummer around here somewhere who goes by the name of Onomaskiton ... a bit clunky in its regular form, but paring it down to Maskiton or Onoton would do something for me.....
