[quote who="Mandelik" reply="35" id="2694816"] Quoting Raven X, reply 33 Besides, chicks like guys with a "dark side" . Hey, Raven, did you read the "Wanted" comics by Mark Millar? It has the most hilarious evil quote I ever read: - You call me a fascist as if it were an insult but people like fascists. Have you already seen a woman fantasizing about being bound and raped by a democrat? [/quote] <p

[quote who="Randorama" reply="31" id="2694784"] the Empire is evil. Their terrain is all black and funky and their name really says it all... I mean, c'mon, have you ever heard of a "good" empire. I doubt it. So, then there is the moral conundrum about marrying off your fantasy offspring to some evil empire that's out to destroy the world. And that's supposed to be ok? Computer games should not allow players to make dubious moral choices. We should only

[quote who="Jafo" reply="35" id="2694725"]#34 is living proof that absolute crap exists on the net...absolutely. [/quote] LoL oh come on, that was funny as hell too. It was like Jesus meets the Super Friends. It had a lot in common with the old school LotR animation too. Besides it's instructional, it's about the Jehovah Witness faith, you shouldn't put it down like that Jafo :P lol ;)

Ok, you're lucky, I can't find a video of a pirate blowing up the world....yet. :P

[quote who="Jafo" reply="36" id="2694524"] The only reason she even got him in the first place is because of looking a certain way. You're single, aren't you? With an attitude towards women like that you can expect to stay that way. [there's some self-righteous condescension for you].... Woods' only claim to fame [other than being a randy prick] was to stick it up those US PGA 'supremacists' that were still trying to keep 'their' game/clu

[quote who="satch4684" reply="265" id="2694502"]i just want to add another NO WORKERS [/quote] No "Controlled" workers. Agreed. I think they should be there for "aesthetic" reasons though, you know, so the road doesn't magically appear out of thin air (unless it's a magic road).

[quote who="Twohawks" reply="9" id="2694516"]here is the info i based my assumptions on . https://forums.elementalgame.com/389038/get;2692012 Quoting Spitz, reply 23 When do you expect we'll get to try out some of the new goodness. I'm a bit put-off from testing 3c since I'm not sure how much of the feedback I'd provide would be useful at this point and how much of it would simply be: "You're worried about that? We completely revamped th

[quote who="coreimpulse" reply="58" id="2694499"]I think Valve gets a cut for every game sold that has steamworks, whether bought online or not. [/quote] Someone should try to find out for sure. I'd would still think though, even if they do get some kind of cut for the gaming using Steam, it wouldn't get as high a cut as if the game was bought on Steam.

Pirate Kings online kill Cyborgs. They even manage to do it while being disgustingly cutesy. Still, it's Pirates killing Cyborgs....next? :P That thing's way heavier than 700 pounds I'd say too...:P

At the very best possibility, tomorrow :). At the worst, Friday or Saturday. I've started some new games on some of the other games I'm playing to pass the time for the next 30 days or so. Then it will be time to start playing (and earnestly modding) Elemental. ;)

[quote who="Greg30007" reply="73" id="2694339"]In tic-tac-toe with opponent that has IQ of 50 you cannot win against. Or in other words its really hard to win.... SO that would mean AI would be unbeatable and that would be a big jump in AI intelligence [/quote] It's sarcasm, my friend.

If you want Mafia II for the PC just get your ass up and go to the store and buy it. That way Steam isn't making anything off the sale (at least not as far as I know anyway). I'm pretty sure steam only gets a cut of the sale if you actually buy it off Steam, they don't automatically get cut in because the game "uses Steam", they just get to package Steam with the game so in the future that customer might just decide to buy a game from Steam instead of going to the store. If Impulse co

I still think we should just have a "Road Drawing Tool". It's simple, it's basic, and it lets the players build roads where they want. A AI work crew comes from each city working until they meet in the middle and then they go back to their respective cities. No need to build a specialized unit, no nothing. Just click "build road" on the city control interface (that's where I'd put it anyway) and have a little tool appear (it was a magic wand in MoM I think). Click and hold it down and lay out

Sorry Jeff, I couldn't resist... Besides, it's soooo true!!! :P

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="59" id="2694033"]Exclusives beyond Stardock's published games doesn't sound too good to me. And what really needs is to beat the crap out of EA and similars with their retarded locked regions. Is it sooooooooooooo difficult to just give different prices for the different regions if what worries them is to "lose" money? [/quote] Perhaps, but it's what they need to bring in more business and get others into using Impulse. If there's nothing exclusive

[quote who="Magicke" reply="258" id="2562802"] ***edited*** I think Raven X came up with idea for blueprints, not sure tho.. [/quote] Yeah, that was a long time back. I know I didn't put it in the ideas section, I had just mentioned it in a post. I think someone else may have refined the idea more and posted it though, not too sure. Good memory though my friend :) Edit: I went back and looked earlier in the post. I had the idea to lay out roads, but Tasunke pos

[quote who="CHiZZoPs" reply="74" id="2694157"] Quoting Raven X, reply 52 I think the best way to make them useful in human vs human games would be to allow the player with the most Diplomacy Points to use them to affect the costs and consumption of resources in the game. This sounds good for all games. Those with more diplomatic capital can exert their hegemony on the rest of the world, thus affecting economies and such, creating

In order for Impulse to stay in dependant of and in competition of Steam, Impulse needs to have titles and game makers making games that are Exclusive to Impulse or that can be found for a Cheaper Price then their Steam counterparts. If Impulse can't do that then it will fail as a download service and people will end up using Steam or Direct2Drive. If it can't be competitive there's no reason for it to exist. Frogboy knows this, and hence you won't see Stardock games sold on Steam, ever.

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="4" id="2693955"] I swear that she is Raven's Urxen woman look-a·like! [/quote] Well, I was going to spare you when I take over the world, Tormy...now...I'm not so sure. . .. ... :P My wife looks WAY hotter then that, thankyou :P Not too mention...So Do I!!!

I think the best way to make them useful in human vs human games would be to allow the player with the most Diplomacy Points to use them to affect the costs and consumption of resources in the game. Making buildings and items cheaper for him and his allies but making cost more for any players not allied with him. It's a pretty simple modifier to put in actually. The thing is it would need to be tested to see if it was any "Fun" like that for multiplayer and right now they simply don't have th

[quote who="WebGizmos" reply="198" id="2693672"]Not sure how they do it in Russia these days...and I could be wrong about this...but it is/was my understanding that when your found guilty of a crime in Russia such as murder and a few others...upon sentencing you are taken out of the courtroom and into a room with nothing more than a drain in the floor and shot in the back of the head. And that's how they should be doing it rather than spending ridiculous amounts of money to house you for 10 o

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="19" id="2693928"]Nice idea Raven X! I think Wheel of Time would provide you with much faction fodder. Including a sea going faction (Atha'an Miere) and a strong naval power in the Seanchan. And much much more... The Aeil, Aes Sedai, WhiteCloaks, Ogier, Trollocs and Shadowspawn, Forsaken, .... The Shannara series, written by Terry Brooks also comes to mind. [/quote] Thank you m
