[quote who="Exitalterego" reply="13" id="2706608"]I'm in agreement for the idea of a 'skippable' deployment phase. For small armies that you don't mind sacrificing the hassle of full deployment seems redundant but for a large force sent against an enemy city led by your sovereign, strategic deployment could be the difference between winning and losing. Of course, if this was implemented, it would raise the question of who deploys first? Does the attacker re

Excellent Guide. You might want to make a note though, you don't Need to put everything in the "Units" folder for the game to see it. I put my Custom Map Sizes into the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock Games\Elemental\data\English" directory and it works just fine from there.

Hello my fellow Modders and friends, As I'm sure you'd all like to know, work on the Dragonlance Mod is progressing slowly but surely. I've been plugging away on the world map and some custom tiles (though the tile editor keeps crashing on me). Realistically I'm still at least a month or two away from a 1.0 release, maybe longer if I can't find the models I need. As I've mentioned before, 3D Modeling is Not one of my strong suits. Skins

Sign me up for this depressing game! heh Seriously though I am all for some realism, but I still insist on fun in my games. [/quote] As long as we can buy wenches with livestock it's all good. Hmm, so your Dad owns you and your sister? Does he need any sheep or cattle? I can m

Glad you had a safe trip. :) So, did you give Morgan my number or what? hehe

[quote who="Jafo" reply="39" id="2706341"]but if some dopey US President jumps into the nearest fighter to go lead the charge to blow the fuckers off 'our' skies and AGAIN save the whole world I will probably slit my wrists[/quote] Could we possibly get that in writing? I hear Obama has his jet fighter all warmed up and ready to go... :P J/K ;)

[quote who="zigzag" reply="52" id="2706189"]Do the new screenshots feature the new gui? [/quote] The latest video posted by Island Dog does. It's from Gamerstrailers. It shows some nice polish on the UI that I can see, particularly in the Sov's status on the lower left hand side. Frogboy's playing on a HUGE map and it looks stable too.

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="34" id="2706045"]Just got to hold the final version of the boxes....the LE box is NUTS (5-6 inches WIDE...we could have put in a elemental coffee mug or something), and even the regular box is pretty damn slick. Very exciting! [/quote] That's it...I want an Elemental Coffee Mug!!!! Ship it Boogie!!!

[quote who="Murteas" reply="81" id="2706056"]Which interview was this? G4? I hope we get the tool, despite my efforts in my own faction editor, I would love to have something from the developers, it will be much more usable/interesting. [/quote] The one Frogboy flew out to do this week. I'm not sure if it will air this week or next but it will be on soon I'd imagine.

[quote who="k10w3" reply="20" id="2706071"] We don't KNOW shit -- those rocks are are just "believed" to be meteorites from Mars; they were actually found in Antarctica. [/quote] No dear, I beg to differ but they do know the one meteorite came from Mars (but yes it was found in Antarctica). I don't think they'd make such a big deal about it if they didn't even know the rocks came from Mars. Finding microbes of long dead life on a random space rock doesn't reall

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, there Has Been ONE signal received from deep space that we haven't been able to identify yet. So far we've had more then a few "close calls" when someone at SETI would announce they found a signal. Back in the 70's Russia claimed to have been the first to pick up alien broadcasts, and then a few years later England claimed to have found 3 in succession. Later of course we found out that ALL the signals were coming from "Pulsars". Pulsars emit a high band radio t

LoL nice.

[quote who="MadMagnus" reply="79" id="2705964"] I fully agree with this and this is what I've imagined the entire time. Why throw away something they already had? Frogboy's response to my initial question, though, has filled me with doubt. I just wish he'd give us the straight answer and information we want so people can stop arguing, lol. I didn't want to demand or request or start any XML debates, I was just curious. His response "In an XML editor." (not exact words) made me

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="3" id="2705950"]The truth is out there. [/quote] I loved the X-Files. I wasn't that impressed with the movies though, which is a shame. I hear they're making a new X-Files movie though so maybe there's hopes for another good one left in the series. Still though, that doesn't answer the question of your opinion on the subject, Doc :P . What do you think? Is there other intelligent life out there somewhere?

[quote who="Philly0381" reply="1" id="2705926"]just how intelligent will we be? [/quote] LoL probably not very. Knowing us humans our first reaction will probably be "Holy sh!t it looks different than we do. Quick, Kill it!!!"... Great reply btw.

[quote who="DemonZR" reply="5" id="2705885"]Here comes another FPS with an artifact title and no soul. Yay. [/quote] God I f'kin hope Not. Don't curse it, man....let's at least Hope for the best until we get some kind of shit-tastic news like that.

[quote who="Murteas" reply="7" id="2705886"]RavenX, I certainly hope so, I would like nothing more than to have this tool made obsolete by SD produced tools. But it is my small contribution to the community. [/quote] And a Very Excellent contribution at that, my friend. :)

[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="25" id="2705915"] Nope, I live in France, and the music I listen to don't get any radio play. Almost all songs I like to listen to are from the 90s, when I was a teenager Another one : >>> Emperor - The loss and curse of reverence or older things like : >>> At the gates - Into a dead sky >> At the gates - Suicide Nation Now, I feel old with only 32 springs

[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="73" id="2705830"]XML can be considered a programming language, but it's a "different kind" of it, which is used to define a data structure, while languages like C++ or Python are used to define a set of instructions to be executed. [/quote] Exactly.

[quote who="VR_IronMana" reply="76" id="2705919"] Sounds like there will be a faction creation tool as one of the workshop options to me? Maybe it's just not enabled in our version of the beta? [/quote] That's what I've been saying since the jump. If you go to the "Workshop" Screen in the current Beta you can see very, Very, faint writing in the boxes we don't have access to at the moment. It looks like they say "Item Editor", "Particle Editor", and "Text Editor"

UFO's and Aliens. Do they exist? Do you think there's even a chance that there is other intelligent life in our galaxy or universe or do you think we Humans are the only intelligent life in all of creation? These are questions that we as a species, man-kind, have asked since as far as our recorded history goes back. Even Ancient man, with no knowledge of modern science or modern understanding of what "Space" was, would look to the night sky at the twinkling stars and wonder...."Are we truly a

It has worked for me so far! those are very simplified instructions I know but it would be easier for me to tell you ho

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="63" id="2704957"]Stop referring to XML as "programming". It is most certainly not. It's basic text editing with tags to tell you what each "field" does. [/quote] Not that I want to argue, Anna, but XML Is technically considered a Programming Language. Here's a little history on XML. This is taken from a article called "The XML Programming Language" which can be found here: <span style="text-decoration: underline
