[quote who="KellenDunk" reply="6" id="2391327"]I can't imagine that it will remain "can hold a weapon in one hand and a shield in the other" because that seriously limits the potential for variety in units. Why would you ever make units without shields, in that situation? [/quote] Well, if you have foot-knights, I.E. foot soldiers in full plate. If armed with a sword And shield they would have higher defense then when armed with two swords. Armed with two swords thoug

X-Com Apocalypse was Awesome. I know a lot of people didn't like it but the soldier customization for tactical options was amazing.

Banned...yeap, you know why. :P I've seen that pic somewhere else on the web too. Isn't that from SNL?

[quote who="Shirley" reply="8457" id="2391226"]banned if you want to see the pencil disappear [/quote] Banned for thinking about the Wrong Joker. I meant Jack Nicholson's Joker in Batman from 1989. He poisoned the citizens of Gotham using a chemical in hygiene products called Brand X. Also Banned for having a seriously fugly avatar :P

[quote who="MasonM" reply="46" id="2391222"] I notice I'm like the only person on the forums who uses a actual pic of themselves as a avatar. Really? No kidding? I wonder who's pic I use? [/quote] Damn. Now I have to track down some random dude in a hat and tell him you stole his picture to use on a games forums...lol. Nice to see someone else being themselves.

I like the idea of being able to get equipment you can't make yet from conquered cities. It could also give you a boost when it actually comes time to research it as some of your men will already have experience using it. The real question is will they even allow your units to use technology they don't "understand" yet? Most games of this kind won't let you use tech or magical items you find until you research them. Here's a question for you. In Pen and Paper D&D would you

That's a great idea and actually not too hard to code either. Simply decrease "insert tech research cost here" every time a faction successfully researches it thus making it easier for the other factions to catch up and your technological advantage won't last as long.

I agree Capn. I'm pretty sure that will be one of the ways we'll be able to equip our troops once we research it. It's good to start a thread about it in case they didn't add that one though. You're added to the list under "Customization". Thanks. :)

Banned for banning brand X, it's the Jokers brand.

So I've got some fun sites to waste time at here on the Interwebs :P Seriously though you can't beat these. 1. http://www.adultswim.com/ Adult Swim dot com. It's the home to all those cool cartoons that are on late night on Cartoon Network. If you haven't heard of Adult Swim you must be living under a rock. 2. http://www.fancast.com/full_episodes Fancast. Did yo

[quote who="Allegiance86" reply="18" id="2391097"]i like summer inspired winters. places like hawaii and florida...... [/quote] I'm in Florida, about 20 minutes from Daytona Beach. It's still in the 80's and 90's in the afternoon. Don't you Stardock people let all that ice and snow slow you down while you're making my game :P

[quote who="landisaurus" reply="3" id="2391098"]I would also like to have the ability to give special monsters or mutants (chaos channels ftw) extra limbs, and as a result extra limb related uses like extra weapons or rings. [/quote] Good idea for a medium to high level Fallen spell. Perhaps "Mutate Monster" or "Mutate Minion". I'm going to start making custom Spells as soon as we get a build capable of doing so. Then the Modding will start in earnest. If things are as easy as th

[quote who="Mogmoogle" reply="30" id="2391105"] but years later, all every release has really been is better graphics, and an enemy unit from the 5th century can still take a stealth bomber if hes veteran. [/quote] That's why I stopped playing those after part 3. When a new one comes out these days I don't even blink unless I something about tactical battles. Which I haven't. IMO the only thing the Civ series has ever had going for it is it's Diplomacy AI.

I think the reason it quite hasn't been recaptured yet is because no one has faithfully reinvented every aspect of it correctly. What people truly want in a new Grand 4X Space Strategy is something with the complexity of Gal Civ 2 or Moo2, but have the battles from something like Sins of a Solar Empire. Gal Civ 2 came close to Moo in my mind but the battles just weren't quite there. Everything else was dead on though and I loved the ship customization. The level of customization is what drew

When you're married some times it seems like all your spouse wants to do is "procreate"..lol. It's usually a good thing.

[quote who="landisaurus" reply="6" id="2390965"]under covers huh? I'm curious how much actual download time is going to be spent downloading stuff we can't access. Anyway, I'm excited. [/quote] If it saves you the download time for when you Can access it you'll be happy..lol.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="9" id="2390951"]Only channelers are immortal. [/quote] @RisingLegend: *you see Raven roll a 20 sided die*...*it lands on 20* I'll now continue my post :P Frogboy, I think only you can clear this up once and for all. Please describe what you mean by "immortal" to us. We understand he/she is ageless. Their children age and marry and have children of their own and die, and the Immortal Sovereign stays the same. Timeless and powerful. We kno

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="7" id="2390874"]It sounds good, but it should be combined with the suggested "dynasty method" imo. [IE. If the sovereign dies, the player should be able to choose 1 of the childs of the sovereign as the new ruler.] It has been discussed in this topic: https://forums.elementalgame.com/365023 [/quote] As good as the "heir idea" may be. I think with Brad talking here about the Hide option it's pretty safe to say Sovereign Death = Game O

Why don't you post this in the Elemental Ideas forum, CapnWinky. If you do I'll add it to our Comprehensive Ideas List.

I like how Brad said they have to lie to new hires about the weather up there...RofL. Just be honest with them Froggy, think of it as a test. Just say "Well, the winter sucks, but hey you get to make Video Games and get paid for it!". If they haul ass they weren't "Stardock Material" anyway. ;)

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="11" id="2390832"] I'm afraid you'll soon suffer from Rocky III syndrome. You gotta go back to the old gym and spit nails with Mickey. WOW! WOW! When I was writing this blog, I was thinking the same thing and went looking for an image from Rocky 3 but decided the reference was too obscure. [/quote] There's a bunch of us "old farts" around here, Froggy. There isn't much that will be "too obscure" lol. Not to mention the "

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="17" id="2390818"] Well, you are the author of the thread so that gives you some authority about it. Then people can agree or disagree but that's another story. You can always wait for one of those threads to reach certain number of posts/pages/quality before adding it. Just saying. Categories? Hmmm Warfare (units, mechanics...), Diplomacy, Spycraft, Magic, Maps, Characters (includes Sovereign, Heroes and even powerful monsters like Dragons)... Or

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="13" id="2390821"] Quoting Raven X, reply 12 Ahh, no m'lady. m'what?[e digicons]o_O[/e] It's the boobs, right? [/quote] You're not a lady? lol, my bad. Actually it was the name "Wintersong". That coupled with the "boobs" made me think you were a girl. Sorry about that.
