[quote who="Tahllian" reply="17" id="2719320"]Any volunteers to save Q&A highlights or chat logs from this for those of us who won't be attending? Or are there any Elemental gaming fan news sites up that would get in on this? Thanks. [/quote] I'll be saving Large Chunks of it. Any Time he talks about modifying XML I'll be copying that part of the text for making a rough draft modding guide hopefully with the answers to a Lot of specific

[quote who="Twohawks" reply="1" id="2719180"]it does sound like an intriguing idea... just one of many possible custom servers... the mind boggles with glee at what next week let alone next month/year may bring..... [/quote] Indeed, my friend. With Frogboy expressing interest in a "Wizard Duel" mode I thought it would be a good idea to bring this up now. If something like this was done and handled right it could even branch off into it's own game/IP. You know how popular card gam

[quote who="Storm" reply="23" id="2719385"] I always wanted to try that campaign out, but didn't have $ when it came out or the group to support it. I do agree with several posters here that kids today don't know what their missing from classic RPGs and table top mini games like Battletech. Today it's all card games or 8-10 hour video games. Even the video games today have so little creativity and imagination anymore. Thank GOD for Stardock because Elemental appea

Through his great powers of Necromancy, the Dark Lord Raven Xavier commands this Ancient Post to Rise and Live Again!!! Mwhahahaha!!! Dragonlance, yeap, there's a Mod being made for that you know ;)

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="2719181"]I'm the mod master. So knock yourself out. At the risk of hubris, no one knows the XML stuff like I do. [/quote] Excellent :), my only worry is I won't have a complete understanding of all the questions I'll be wanting to ask about the code. Don't think that will let you off the hook though ;) Also, here's a Multi-Player Idea I thought you'd enjoy. It's on Wizard Duels. <a href="https://forums.elementalgame.com/391097

I'll be there with plenty of modding questions, chief....Oh you're going to regret this one :P Bring your XML notes ;)

[quote who="clockwerk" reply="5" id="2718851"]From: https://forums.elementalgame.com/374531 How do I get divorced? Your Sovereign can get "divorced" by sending the spouse, without any equipment or bodyguards, to the nearest and strongest monster or enemy army available. Seriously. How do I get married a second/third/fourth... time or stablish my own harem? In a mod, if anyone makes one about it. (Elemental: War of Bedrooms?) <b

Imagine a world where you log on a server and wander, fighting other Wizards/Sovereign's ala "Magic the Gathering" style. In this world you could trade spell cards with other Wizards, or you fight them. Maybe you could team up with a like minded Wizard and fight pairs of enemy Wizards. In this world the player wouldn't be building cities. Instead they could visit a main city and talk with other Wizards (a no PvP zone) to trade. Out on the map though Wizards fight. Their spells are the spell c

[quote who="TheProgress" reply="2" id="2718942"]I've no experience in modding - but plenty in design / programming. When the python starts coming out I think I'll definitely work on some projects in my spare time. [/quote] I'm here by Drafting you for work on the Dragonlance Mod. Report for duty soldier!!! ;)

[quote who="BlindMindStudios" reply="103" id="2718961"]Alright then, toss us the $102k we have left to found the thing and we'll go out and purchase the space we've got an eye on right now. Hahaha! On applications: Not yet, but keep checking back over the next few weeks. (Secretly: send applications anyway) [/quote] LoL Nice ;) *whispers* If you could PM me on here with an email addy I know goes straight to you I'd be much obliged.

[quote who="Twohawks" reply="4" id="2718843"]Hey RavenX my friend does your wife know you want a harem [/quote] She sure does ;) As along as she gets to be the "Queen" she's happy. I'm a lucky man. :P

[quote who="BlindMindStudios" reply="101" id="2718927"]Thank you all for the support today. It's not even launch day and the sales we're seeing are.... awe-inspiring. I'm starting to gain hope that we just might be able to finish this game. The whole thing. All of it -- everything on the backburner included. Today alone we've already made 133 sales so far. It's absolutely madness and I can't even count the sales we're making on Impulse yet ... I am embarrassingly humbled

[quote who="dancingmouse" reply="25" id="2718921"]@Raven X,Thanks for posting that example it made what could of been perceived as a negative trait in the game, what it was meant to be an awsome idea to keep the game alive mid to late game. [/quote] Np. By all means the credit doesn't belong to me alone. Over the last year and a half finding unique and interesting ways to keep the game interesting in mid/late game has been something that has come up again and again here. Many peo

[quote who="niteshade6" reply="21" id="2718783"] Well they said there would be rare stuff, they didn't say they would be super powerful and let you "start stomping everything on the map". There are plenty of rare and interesting events in Galactic Civilizations, but while they might cause you to change your gameplay, they generally don't cause you to win or lose because of one thing. [/quote] This is true. The main example I like to give in Elemental's case is when Fro

[quote who="Mandelik" reply="186" id="2718833"] Quoting Raven X, reply 183 Just because we can't see something doesn't mean we can prove it doesn't exist. Who are "we"? Because tens of thousands of people everywhere have seen (at least) something. That other people and the media laugh about it doesn't make events less real. [/quote] I've seen things too my friend, as I cover in my OP. When I was saying "we" can't

Nice forum name lol. Glad I'm not named Jesus :P

[quote who="shadowtongue" reply="184" id="2718790"] you may have meant that a million years is a short time for them, so coming and going over a million year time span wouldn't phase them as it would us. [/quote] That's pretty much what I meant, yes. For them, as far as we know, they could have the capability to go into hibernation for long periods of time. Or perhaps they have mastered cryogenic technology, or perhaps their biological make-up could allow them to easily free

I'd really like to see a good Starship Simulator as well. Something that puts you in command of a massive battlecruiser or space carrier that launches wings of fighters. Some day hopefully developers will realize not All Gamers are 12 year olds who can't comprehend complex games and strategies. It all comes down to what they think the market (being the public that buys games) is interested in and most developers these days want an instant return on their investment. They want to make games th

Will it be possible for some faction rulers to have Multiple Spouses? It's a common fact in real life that there are Many cultures now and throughout history that have supported polygamy. Sultans in Middle East have and had multiple wives. Even most of the men in the Bible have/had multiple wives. This is a Fact that is often over-looked by Western Cultures. Seeing as how Elemental is a "Fantasy Game" I don't honestly see why it should be limited to having every culture in the game ha

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="181" id="2718577"]If there are aliens out there capable of travelling here, why would they want to visit this hell hole?[/quote] See, that's the thing with us being humans and trying to understand the reasoning of an "Alien Intelligence". If there are aliens capable of coming here they " could" be coming here for reasons we couldn't possibly fathom. Perhaps they need part of the genetic code from something we have on our planet that they don't h

[quote who="father_nurgle" reply="15" id="2718412"] Quoting Raven X, reply 13 If they Are that "rare" then getting one and being able to steam roll the map with it isn't really that big of a deal. I disagree. It will feel like you have wasted your time and effort building a kingdom if you get "lucky" and stomp the map with a dragon. Unbalanced is not fun (well... it might be the first time) but I'm sure they fixed it f

[quote who="Larac" reply="15" id="2718737"]Any word on when we check our games at Stardock, the LE Upgrade shows, with no SN of course, but no listing for the original order. Just want to be sure things are working as planned. Lee [/quote] That's the same thing mines doing. No worries, it's like Kryo said, it's because they disabled the keys temporarily.

[quote who="Bellack" reply="68" id="2718415"]Pretty cool. I have a question, those message that say adventures let loose some creatures and such. Are those creatures actully now wondering around? I have seen these mesages a lot in beta but never found any evidence that these messages meant something. [/quote] They are actually let loose in the lands, yes. It's hard to tell though because the messages aren't specific about what creatures were set free by name so you don't re

I think Frogboy and the Team has done a pretty good job of keeping us informed and clearing up the confusion. Kryo was "johnny on the spot" last night when I posted about not seeing my "purchases" through my automail with Impulse. I already knew the keys were disabled and was just wondering why I didn't see a purchase history and I got paranoid for a minute. Kryo fixed it by answering within minutes and waylaying my fears that my original purchase was somehow overlooked. My post wasn't locked

[quote who="Folcik009" reply="4" id="2718644"] Quoting DonHerold, reply 2 I have abandoned all hope at the door... that way, when they release it, I will be pleasantly surprised!haha, good advice. That's basically what I am doing too. [/quote] Agreed. Better not to get your hopes up that way when it is released you're happy. If the reviewers are getting the gold version today though I don't really see why the beta testers can't get it. Honestly,
