I don't know. I always envisioned Elemental as a pure-fantasy game with no adbvanced technology. Not to say that Stardock shouldn't try to create a fantasy-scifi hybrid at some point, but I would like to keep Elemental "pure".

[quote]I really don't see a difference in challenge between save/load and save/continue. I like save/load better because I like saving before epic battles or before accomplishing something of major importance to me so I can later go back and load that specific event whenever I feel like it. You can't do that with save/continue which in my opinion only takes away from a game with out adding anything of value. [/quote] I concour. Save-continues are more suited fro FPS/RPGs, not strategy

I certainly don't mind Impulse... of course, I have a stable internet connection (if a bit slow) so Goo doesn't make itself noticible. Still, a one-person attack is better referred to as a troll, and not some sort of massive internet coup.

-1 -44 I think - is going to win...

One thing that surprises me is the relatively low number of trolls & other undesirables on the game forums. Or maybe it's just a case of delete-happy devs.

I HAVE to try this: -1 -33

Sounds exactly like real-time, except there are arbitrary time units. UPDATE: Posts were a split-second apart, and if it works like Wahngrok says, then I rescind my previous statement.

[quote]they're just continuous turns (ala The Corporate Machine).[/quote] As someone who has never played The Corporate Machine, "continuous turns" sounds a bit oxymoronic. Care to enlightem me?

I suppose so... forgot about curses and other lingering enchantments.

True. Just so they don't rush to get everything in by the "due date" and, say, leave out something so that it is not perfected in the final...

I see technology and magic as fundamentally different concepts because magic, at its core, requires human interaction while technology, at its core, does not. For example: in a sci-fi world, you can have an automated defense system that monitors your facility and shoots down anyone who gets near it. In a fantasy setting, you would actually have a mage (or group of them, more likely) constantly scrying and ready to launch spell. In essence, in a sci-fi setting the "power" comes

The Omnipreasent Ohio Snow has turned into the Omnipreasent Ohio Sleet, my mother is squirting Roundup on the crabgrass that used to be our yard, I'm sneezing large portions of my cereberal contents out every five minutes... it's spring, alright. In any event, I would rather have a good beta than a punctual beta. For me, a good game is much more important than a rapid release. Unless there are expansion packs.
