At least that's what was said a while back. Whether or not that's Still accurate I'm not completely sure. I call them bullshit mock up screenshots. [/quote] That screen wasn't a mock-up.

[quote who="Ashbery76" reply="66" id="2715657"]The tactical battles from a visual standpoint look like a DragonAge skirmish and not a war between Empires,very weak stuff. What happened to this?

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="314" id="2715414"] Oh it's been a a handful of years now, but when I was at college, I worked at a deli in a grocery store. The manager always knew when someone came snooping around. I am pretty sure he got a call which was a heads up. All I can say if you walk up to a deli counter and they give you a blank look as to how long that food has been out, don't buy it! Heh, I take it you work for the health department? [/quote] Ahh, no. I was

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="311" id="2715397"] Heh, he'd be like the secret shoppers or the health department, everyone would know he is coming and be prepared . [/quote] How do you know of the evils of the health department, Nesrie? I thought I was the only one around here who had to suffer that kind of hell? They've been screwing me over for about a year now while waiting for me to die.

Didn't you guys get the memo? The 0-Day patch turns Elemental into a FPS-RPG-MMO with some TBS aspects thrown in for fun. :P In all seriousness though, yes that's for the multiplayer. I'm hoping they give some kind of slider when setting up the game for how long the turns should be. 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes etc etc. I can imagine on huge epic maps the end game turns could take longer than 60 seconds.

[quote quoting="post"]Guilds Dungeons Never saw them in the Beta's but, hoped they would be in final version, I mean what's adventuring without dungeons? This would also make Elemental a little closer to Birthright, where champions when adventuring on maps different from the strategic map. Could tactical maps be used for creating Dungeons and be linked with a quest location with the editing tools? [/quote] I think we can do that, yes. I know it's something I'll be

[quote who="Archonsod" reply="309" id="2715376"]I'm not sure I'll feel ok buying the game without some form of copy protection. Would it be possible for Stardock to send someone around to my house whenever I install it to amputate my left hand and punch me in the vulnerables a bit so I can get that authentic DRM feeling? If you could hold my first born hostage until I decide I never want to play the game again it would probably help too. [/quote] They have a guy on pay-role who d

[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="81" id="2715345"]Even if the AI is "stellar" (and it should be pretty good given Gal Civ) it will probably be worse than Civ IV's, which will be in turn worse than Civ III, and so on. Don't expect it to be kicking your ass once you have a firm grip of the game itself.[/quote] This is true, of course. That's where the cool "randomization" factor of Elemental comes in though. There are some super rare items or quests that you won't see every time yo

I definitely like the pic in reply number 3, excellent work Uvah.

[quote who="MxM111" reply="14" id="2715162"] I have got different impression and I had beta from beta 1. It was always "oh, Stardock internal build is several iterations ahead of what you have, so do not judge the game, just check for the bugs" - kind of thing. Notice, that we are still in the same state and gold version is supposed to be very different with smart AI, interesting gameplay and so on, i.e. with the things that we do not have and thus can not help them with gameplay.

[quote who="penlin" reply="11" id="2715107"] Thanks for the constructive (almost flame free) and very encouraging responses - especially from Frogboy. The only thing that confuses me a bit is that the "pre-order" is billed as a chance to get into the game development process and have a say in what the final product looks like ... but the beta seems to lag too far behind the quickly advancing internal version, so the beta people only get a chance to comment on a very narrow range of pretty tec

[quote quoting="post"]We’re going to be making the game available early to everyone who beta tested Elemental (planned day is either Sunday night or Monday morning) and anyone who pre-orders prior to Monday morning will get the game on Monday rather than having to wait until Tuesday. [/quote] A few days early is better than no days early!!! Wooohooo :) Thanks Frogboy!!!

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="93" id="2714190"] I'm sorry, but no. The list would quickly get out of control if I included the entire credits for each mod. I don't want to be a jerk, but large mods could easily have a lot of people involved. If you would like, you could whip up a little credits pic sort of thing that lists everyone's names, and I could link that instead of listing your name. Example "Created by: Team Dragonlance" Again, I'm sorry, but it would just get out of h

[quote quoting="post"]So starting in October, what we will do is make archival DVD editions of our games starting with Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition and Elemental. Roughly every year or so, if there have been updates, we’ll create a new archival version of the game that people can have sent to them (it’ll just be a DVD). [/quote] Woohooo :). That's the best news I heard All Day (ok so it's been a slow day lol). That IS Awesome though, thanks Frogbo

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="139" id="2713675"]Unfortutunately, no matter how gloomy and lacking in hope the future looks, all we can do is the best we can. For example, there is now a super bug that even last resort antibiotics can't kill. I am just a little bit annoyed that the place where I live doesn't have recycling capabilities. I see the Australian major political parties unwilling to do even a little bit to limit damaging climate deterioration (I don't believe that

[quote who="Cameochi" reply="136" id="2713354"] RavenX, what you saw could have been an experimental aircraft. Eglin maybe?? You are not the first person to report something like this. There was a sighting some years ago in the midwest. Many people saw a strange, silent aircraft right over the main street of the town. No question about what they saw. The military is not talking. I am pretty sure there is other intelligent life in the u

[quote who="MagicwillNZ" reply="10" id="2713979"] I was briefly a newspaper journalist. I was never paid a cent. [/quote] Honestly I don't think I would have gotten to do it at all if wasn't for the fact a chick that was in love with me had family that had been there for years. It was more or less them doing me a favor because she asked them too. It didn't pay much. I doubt really anyone read them except for some senior citizens. The Beacon is a small paper and most people

Hey Kyogre, small update my friend. after my name where it says "Created by:Raven Xavier" could you put "Modelers: Civfreak and Admiral100". Thanks brother.

If my cable company tries to pull some bullshit and cap my usage I'll call them up and cancel my Cable TV, Internet, and Phone....and then go with their competitor or even a damn satellite provider. Fucking cap bullshit. Just another way to screw over the little guys...namely All Of US!!!! Someone needs to assassinate these ass clowns before they ruin the Internet like they have everything else.

You know which service is the best? Which ever one has the game I want for the lowest price :P (though I buy Most of my games in actual Stores *Gasp* [e digicons]:O[/e] )
