[quote who="GoaGalneGbilski" reply="112" id="2711314"] 1. I don't think mankind will annihilate itself due to war. 2. I don't think mankind will drain so many resources the earth can't sustain life. 3. I don't think mankind will overpopulate the planet. 4. I don't think mankind will find intelligent extraterrestrial life within a thousand years [/quote] Hmmm, there is proof to the contrary for some of that you know. If not concrete proof t

[quote who="Icepick" reply="27" id="2711348"] Quoting Raven X, reply 23 Will it build boats and come after me or will it raise the land back up and make a land-bridge? Neither, it will use the flood spell to sink your lands into the sea! Anybody without a breathe water potion is going to have a really bad day [/quote] That would be really Awesome!!!

That Devil squirrel looks like the Jersey Devil, Irokoness :P The squirrels down here in Florida look like they're about the size of rats and most Floridians treat them as such except for the elderly who like to feed them. I hear there are squirrels up north that are big enough that people hunt and eat them....scary.

[quote who="Civfreak" reply="38" id="2711315"]Did some more work on the "Draconian" today, and I gotta say I've learned quite a bit of stuff since I started doing it. The changes I made today was adding the hands, although I don't know why the goddamn thumb is giving me so much problems, also changed the legs a bit and the feet. Oh I also opened up the mouth but that needs some work too. I need some input though since I'm kind of undecided on the proportions, should I "buff" i

[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="3" id="2711009"]will there be an early release for beta players? [/quote] Seconded!!! Bring on that wimpy AI. I'm ready. I'll be happy if can even reach me if I close myself on an island by lowering the land around me. Found a way around that one yet, Frogster? Will it build boats and come after me or will it raise the land back up and make a land-bridge?

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="76" id="2711144"] All my Software Etc/GS clerks are male and know little about the games. Is this the part where I am supposed to say sex DOES have something to do with it? [/quote] I don't know, you can if you want, I wouldn't argue :P. I've had my share of dumb guy employees at video game stores too. I think the "climate" for it might be different down here in Florida though. My town, Deland, is a college town. Stetson College is here. You can im

[quote who="Tridus" reply="69" id="2711056"] Yeah, this is the important thing. The problem isn't with the beta as it ran, except that there was no phase where the full game was assembled and things like pacing & balance could be looked at. [/quote] Indeed I agree completely. A lot of testers expected to have a good deal of time with balancing and tweaking and pacing. Trying to find strategies that could "break" the game. Put the game through it's paces etc etc. Internal

[quote who="Tridus" reply="67" id="2711042"] The problem is that a place like EB or Gamestop is actually a lousy place to work. It's mostly about used games and pre-orders. They don't pay very well. While you could get someone who knows and loves their games to work there and do a good job, the best employees are going to wind up in higher paying jobs (because talent tends to rise over time). Hell, before they closed I was in a Game Crazy in the US and asked if they had any me

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="62" id="2710984"]Dale ALWAYS plugs Steam. He's just looking for a reaction. The reality is, and let's be real, Elemental is going to be the fantasy TBS game for awhile. I'll probably break down and buy Civ V from Steam at some point (after a lot of SC2) but realistically, you could make Ultima IV with Elemental and share it with others seamlessly. I don't see anyone else offering that. [/quote] Ahh, that explains it a little more. I di

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="60" id="2710971"]Look. I'm biased. But I've been making games for a long time. I lot of the people who buy our games are like me. We grew up on Ultima IV, we loved MoM, we loved Xcom. Some people would play those games and not like them. That's fine. There's lots of games that cater to that huge demographic. Elemental is for us. I've got years. I'm not working on any games other than Elemental for a long while. It is tha

[quote who="Elvisman2001" reply="60" id="2710720"]Please don't remove content that you already have in the game. The bigger the better. [/quote] Amen!!! We'll deal with the loading times!!! Just put some info worth reading on the loading screens and I don't think anyone will mind. ;)

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="21" id="2710471"]I agree with having the "Would you like to save before you quit?" dialogue. Also, a good thing to do is turn Auto Save on and set it to save every 1 turn. So the most you lose is what you did in the current turn. And you also have the option of loading the previous auto-save (from the previous turn) and save that as a permanent save if you want. Best regards, Steven. [/quote] I think if we set

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="101" id="2710438"] Bleh! They spend way too much time on the forums already! Let them work on EWoM. We need a decent v1.0 afterall! PS. They are aliens! PPS. Sorta on-topic -> Skyline trailer debuts! [/quote] Well, as much as I want them to keep working on Elemental, I'm still really curious about what their thoughts on the matter are. We all know Frogboy and Boogie are both really intelligent people. That and their

Would it help if you combined more of the XML files into bigger XML files only have less of them? Not sure if reading individual smaller files takes longer than reading less but larger files. Maybe be an option though?

P.S.S. NooooOooooooOooo don't get rid of any tiles!!!!!

[quote quoting="post"] that’s where the guy with the quad core is going to notice the biggest difference versus the guy with a single core CPU. [/quote] WooooHoooo I Win :) P.S. You're up WAY past your bed time Frogster. Get some sleep, man. I'm the only one allowed to be up this late.

Jeesus...you're both wrong. Frogboy only said he was going to Cali. That was just a cover for his Vegas vaca. He had to tell the wife something didn't he? It's not like he could say "Hey babe, I'm going to Vegas to spend 250k of the companies money on hookers and blow, later!!". The best part is he gets to deduct it all from his taxes at the end of the year.
