RavenX

So I almost had a major melt-down tonight. My PC has been giving me issues the last few nights with a problem it had a little over a year ago. For some reason, without warning, my video input would go out and I would have to restart my PC to get it back. When it started happening so often I couldn't get any work done or play a game without it interrupting I looked into it. Turned out all the gunk (I'm a smoker) and dust and pet fur in my house clogged things up a bit. I had to send the graphi

I was thinking though that if they can somehow give us the ability to mix and match "Body Parts" like they did with "Starship Parts" in the ship editor in GalCiv 2 that we'd be able to make custom creatures and races pretty easily. The hardest part for them to be able to do this for us would most likely be the

Great news, Frogboy. For the first time in quite a while I'm excited about Modding again.

[quote who="joasoze" reply="75" id="2598415"] Quoting Raven X, reply 73 Elemental will blow Civ V away in every respect, Especially Combat. Wow mister Raven. Fanboi alert!!! [/quote] It's not so much Fanboi-ism as it is my general dislike for Civ game-play. I used to like the Civ game back in the day but every time a new one came out there was something screwy about it. Like a Woolly Mammoth beating a M1A1 Tank or something like that.

[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="12" id="2591667"]It was probably the karma chameleons. They come and go from time to time. [/quote] *shakes head in dissapointment*... LoL ok, it was kinda funny for a second. ;)

I'm betting she's pissed off because her boyfriend got the booty and took off. That or he cheated on her something. She's really, really pissed...lol. It is pretty funny. Luckily I've never had ex's vindictive enough to destroy my stuff.

So I saw this video of this chick being pissed off at her ex boyfriend. Apparently he got into the Starcraft 2 Beta but his email went through some place she could access it. Well she deleted the email and here's what she does with his Beta Key... Warning: Lots of swearing.

[quote who="2big2fail" reply="5" id="2595081"]It's not really that they are "unprofessional" so much as testers operate under vastly different motivations.[/quote] That depends on your definition of "Tester". I actually am a Professional Beta Tester, meaning I often get paid to test things, and not just games. In the last few years that I've been stuck working from home I've tested a wide variety of programs, games, and even some times the odd product or two for a unrelated testing in

[quote quoting="post"] inbreed magic in Elemental War OF Magic! [/quote] Hopefully there's no magic like this in Elemental... I can just see these two running around trying to be Harry Potter...LoL. "I gotz me uh flyin broomstick yall!!! Yeeeehaaaaa!!!!" In all seriousness though, welcome to the forums :)

[quote who="SeverineFerrer" reply="54" id="2597063"]Now we know there is a little game called Civilization 5 coming soon. I mean 'ouch'. It's another story now. Hopefully Elemental will be able to face it with no blush.[/quote] Elemental and Civ V might be in the same genre, but if you ask me they're in totally separate "classes". Elemental will blow Civ V away in every respect, Especially Combat. The Civ games are good for what they do, sure, but the overall game hasn't had any

[quote who="RisingLegend" reply="6" id="2597672"] Go Iron-Man or go Home That's the plan So if Calvin dies, god forbid, the AAR will continue, but should everyone die, it's game over We're just gonna see where this goes for the heck of it [/quote] Well, I'm not saying don't hire new squaddies if some die, just don't save it before every turn and reload it when your best guy gets killed.

Thank you again, Vallu. Those will come in very handy indeed. I already have a very accurate map but the rules may give me some inspiration.

[quote who="Mirsguy" reply="11" id="2597346"] Ahem... Micheal Keaton is Batman! Definitely. Liked him better than Christian Bale, though Bale did do well. Now, Val Kilmer and George Clooney... they definitely were NOT Batman! [/quote] I agree both of them sucked in the role overall, I'd have to say Kilmer was a decent Wayne but a lousy Batman. Clooney was a decent Batman but a lousy Wayne. I think they could have re-used Keaton in the

[quote who="Lunartarc" reply="5" id="2597179"]I've reposted this in the mods section since it's more accurate to put suggestions there. [/quote] It's only accurate if you're making a Mod my friend. The Mod section is for Mods being made and discussion of them. At this point I'd think it's still a fair hope to maybe see them in a finished Elemental.

Oh I got one. How about a limited race of monsters that capture your heroes/champions, magically seduce them, and use them to produce a new race of "Monster Heroes". Example: A Evil Spirit possesses a Townswoman and devours her soul. The monster woman then ambushes a Noble Hero or one of the channelers Heirs and casts a seduction spell on him. She gets pregnant and because she's a demon the pregnancy is magically enhanced and soon she starts spitting out a small army of Demons

Very nice so far my friend. I'm interested to see where it goes. Fight the good fight and don't be a cheater and reload when one of your favorite squad members gets killed. Go Iron-Man or go Home ;)

That right there is one big loop of confusion :P J/K

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="28" id="2596112"]I hope you all do realize that this is going to ruin my life. Just letting you know in advance. [/quote] Hey Luckman, when are you going to announce your Bear Calvary mod? Oh come on, don't act surprised. You know you're going to do one. I know you're going to do one. Hell, we all know you're going to do one. Go ahead and announce it already ;)

[quote who="shadowtongue" reply="29" id="2596576"] Actually that's not totally true, but I find that my interest in performing those actions wanes rather quickly,[/quote] I'd say that's true of a lot of people, even me. I'll mess with all the editors a lot at first until I get the perfect look I want for every aspect of my Empire. Once I get that look, and I'm happy with it, I'll most likely never go back and change it (until I start designing my own enemies to fight). At that point t

You could break everything down to Good Magic, Neutral Magic, and Evil Magic. By limiting the categories you can give your own reasons for why spells are classified the way they are. Example 1: Demons are born of Fire and so Fire is Evil. Example 2: Demons are hurt by Water so Water is Good. Just an idea. I like you'll reclassify them though. You could also add minor edits to spells to give them effects to fit your classifications. Should be as easy as editing some XML

I like it. I don't think Stardock would put them in as their own faction though. They might use them as wandering monsters or mercenaries or something you could make through magic if you got a Dragon to join you, maybe through a quest. I'd also like them to add them or at least something that looks like them so I don't have to make a custom model for them for the Dragonlance Mod. (if only for the Art-Assets to make Dragon-World mods more convenient/easy to make [e digicons];)[/e] )</

I will make exception to that though as I don't let it get past a full page of new ideas before I update the list. If

[quote who="Supreme Shogun" reply="9" id="2596581"] I think that is a good idea. That leaves the Companions/Champions able to quest for you. [/quote] Even if I use the Gods as the only two Sovereigns, the Companions will still be free to go on quests as heroes/champions/generals. Perhaps I should just throw out the term "Sovereign" when referring to the mod as those mechanics won't play the same. I could also very well make the Gods more "stationary". As we kno
