Thanks for the excellent responses. I finally decided to go with a Zune. I couldnt pass up the Zune pass. We'll see how it holds up. If I dont like it, then I'm definitely going with the Zen next time. Man, uninstalling Itunes was so liberating :)
You're in luck my friend! As Denryu said, it's already going to be part of the game. It's going to be a pretty cool feature to say the least!
[quote who="endofdayz" reply="6" id="2326480"] The Fog of War is an actual fog? Lol, I think it was a figure of speach, though who knows. By the way stardock, there are already 4 spells and I don't see any involving summoning undead armies. I am seriusly considering with-holding my purchase until you fix this discrepancy. /s [/quote] Dev's have already confirmed summoning creatures. I dont know if any of them w
Im in the market for a new mp3 player. I go to the gym on a daily basis and like to hike/bike during the weekend. I also travel alot so it would be ideal to have a screen to watch movies. I've only looked at IPODS so far and this is what I've briefly gathered...I can't stand the new nano model so I think Im gonna pass on that. I was thinking about going with the IPOD classic but am a little leary since it's not true flash memory. Im afraid I would shake it too much while biking o
bah, delete post. Im having forum issues today!
I can see both sides to the story. The media section of this website is what is supposed to help sell this game. Graphic wise, what they have is ok at best. I personally like the art direction their going for but you cant blame people because they think it looks like a flash game. I think his concern is valid given the information we have to go off of so far. ( EDIT: I dont agree how he worded his post though. He makes alot of assumptions ) I actually play

Embarassingly enough...I purchased and played HOMM: V for the very first time. What a great game! I really hope Elemental's tactical battles are half as good as that. I also played me some Runes of Magic and Plants vs. Zombies :)
LOL! Love your comments.

[quote quoting="post"]In Brad's journal asking what folks think about extending the beta schedule generously, he inlcuded this picture: The filename is SwampLordPaintingFinal. The big thing in the painting looks to me like a very plausible candidate for Geoff the Slug's (single?) parent. [/quote] Haha. I thought the same exact thing when I saw that picture!!! Let's hope you're right! Great minds think alike! [e digicons]k1[/e]
[quote who="KellenDunk" reply="3" id="2321955"]At first I thought that this was clearly intended to go up somewhere else and got posted by mistake ;/ [/quote] I thought so too. It's odd seeing this in an Elemental Dev journal. Ah well...Good read. Nice reminder on what a n00b I am when it comes to programming.
Double post. Please delete
It really depends on how far along you guys are. Part of me would love a longer beta process so the community can give you the best feedback possible. On the other hand, maybe the game is programmed so well that we might not need to have an extended beta process EDIT: OK, ok...if a longer beta process can lead to dungeon crawling and 32 players, I'm fully on board!
*crosses fingers*
Welcome to the forums! Yes, it's shaping up to be an epic TBS game. Read through all the dev journals if you havent already.
[quote who="Tridus" reply="6" id="2319343"] For citizen militias, the training system could allow this. The way it's been explained, to make soldiers you take some citizens, give them weapons, and some training. The more training, the better they are. Well if you wanted to make a militia in a hurry and you have a stockpile of swords, what if you hand out the swords and give no training at all? Boom, a sudden defense force of really bad soldiers. [/quote] Go
Do you think citizens should be more than eye candy on the "zoomed in" map? I loved how in Warcraft 3 you could turn your peasants into a militia. I think it would be cool if Elemental adapted a similar feature with its citizens. Also, how about being able to move your citizens from one location to another? They could turn into caravan icons on the map. If a city capture is invetiable, you could possibly move them to a safer location (ala helms deep). Just a couple of random thought
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="9" id="2319224"]I don't think there will be micro-expansions for Elemental. We're more likely to follow the Galactic Civilizations path of things where each expansion acts as a chapter to the story and also adds a ton of new features and such. [/quote] Good to know! I found out about GalCiv2 when all the expansions were already out. I wish it were the same way with Elemental. I am so impatient and hate waiting! :)
I agree with Wintersong for the most part. I dont mind micro's if their graphics only. Otherwise, I think feature related content belongs in a regular expansion. Hey, Boogie...can we have both?? [e digicons]:D[/e]
I really wish they would remove "June 2009" as being the start of the public beta on the main page. So, misleading!
[quote who="Darkodinplus" reply="7" id="2317949"] If I wanted to know if players could mod in their own spells (despite that already being answered) I would have asked that. I would also point out the "Will there be mounts?" question from July's FAQ had altered wording. Most people wanted to know if there would be more then just horses as mounts which had not be answered. Just because you don't like a question doesn't mean it shouldn't be asked for future reference.

[quote who="Darkodinplus" reply="4" id="2317722"]Darkodinplus' Top 7 Questions Can players create their own spells? [/quote] Yes, players will be able to create their own spells. They've went over that numerous times in the modding dev journals. Not trying to be mean but I dont want to waste a FAQ question on something that has already been answered (ex: July FAQ's..."Will there be mounts?"). Unless of course you mean something like creating a spell while yo
Will there be different planes of existence or is it at least something we can mod? And by this I mean will we be able to warp between one map to another?
[quote who="Tridus" reply="19" id="2316879"]Having fantasty creatures being rare is a nice change. It's gotten kind of old to play a game that tries to make something like dragons seem unique and powerful, only they rain from the heavens. If I convince a dragon to side with me, that should be a big deal. It shouldn't be "oh go over there and train 200 dragons for a new squad." So this is a great direction.
