[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="2671668"]Heh, I just made it so that monsters of different kinds will attach one another. This ought to be interesting. [/quote] That does sound cool, very cool in fact. On slower machines though won't that use up more memory making the game auto calc battles that the player isn't even taking part in? Also, what happens when one NPC monsters kills another and there's loot? Does the winning monster get the losers loot? Because I'd like to

[quote who="KWAiRT" reply="13" id="2671719"] For the record UBISOFT DRM is not catching on. [/quote] I agree with the rest of your post, just not that first line there. It IS "catching on" and all the major PC game makers are considering DRM methods like it. Frogboy even stated so him-self not too long ago. PC game makers such as EA see Ubisoft's DRM as a success and are quickly making plans to follow in it's foot-steps. If you watched E3 closely this year you'll also not

[quote who="marlowwe" reply="9" id="2671706"] The US isn't going to do anything in Canada. Period. Extraditing hundreds of thousands of "pirates" from another country is not only impractical but laughable. Anyway, if this goes the way the US waged their "War on Terror" and "War on Drugs" then it will turn out to be one big joke. Some of those sites are complete bogus too - who's ever heard of Filespump.com? lol. Anyway, I fail to see this doing any real harm to file sharers. W

Do you think you could possibly be any Happier about this? :P The only reason I don't like this is because we have seen far too many times through-out history that this will ultimately only leed to things being worse for ALL of us, whether we pirated anything or not. Just as Ubisoft's DR

If they trace any of the offending 500,000 users to Canada you can bet the Fed's will ask for them to be "extradited" to the U.S. for prosecution. The US Gov never does anything lightly so you can bet they'll go over-board with the law suites and trea

Source: CNet News. June 30th. Check it out Here . A week after U.S. Vice President Joe Biden Warned that the government would start cracking down on illegal file sharing, the feds swooped in and seized assets belonging to operators of accused movie-pirating sites. The government on Wednesday also took control of at least seven of the sites in question: Movie

Again, Winter my friend, you deserve even more Karma for this (so I'm giving you more...again..lol). Where are you digging up some of these screen shots? I thought I had searched all the Universe that is the Internet for all the screen shots I could find and yet you still seem to have more then all the gaming sites combined. I wonder why that is? :P Great Work [e digicons]:)[/e] [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [e digicons]k1[/e]

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="77" id="2669655"]I like how everyone is ignoring that this is the list of the "basic" spellbooks, and 7 more are available to be found (but not taken at Sovereign creation). Assuming even that no new spells are added to the core books between now and release (unlikely), that'll still put it at 150-160 spells if the average number of spells holds. [/quote] Indeed. I think we'll have plenty of spells to work with at release. [quote who="pigeonp

Great Update!!! I Really can't wait until we start the Modding Beta. That sound Awesome, Frogboy :) Quick question, will we be able to Mod how many numbers show up in units and are represented on screen? This will be very important for my "Dragonlance" Mod. As an example, in the Total War games you can Mod how many men are in each unit in the "Unit_Definitions.XML". (<---can't remember if that's the Exact name of the file) . Bottom line being though that it is doable. Pleas

[quote who="Beric01" reply="21" id="2670224"]Sorry, but I'd love an anime mod. I like anime almost as much as I like PC games. And fantasy anime is even better. Add something "cute" to an anime mod and I'll play it already. Kawaii! [/quote] lol I didn't say I don't like Anime, I LOVE anime, just not All Anime.

Honestly, I kinda liked MoO3 for a while, but of course my favorite by FAR was MoO2. MoO3 was ok in a certain way. The one thing that really turned me off to it was the graphics for the ships which are so tiny it's hillarious. My ex used to see me playing it and say "Awww, are you playing with your little pew pews again?" lol. It does have a lot of Details though and if you don't want to Micromanage it you can Automate just about everything. MoO3 is a Great Example of a game that give

I have no idea what Strange Dawn is. The one episode I saw of BeyBlade I remember thinking "I would have thought this was badd ass when I was 14". One Piece...not really a fan of the animation style. If they would have went with a more realistic looking character style I probably would like it more.

My Little Pony: Ride of Magic Barbie the Magic Princess Pok'e'mon: Magic Battles Gold Yu-Gi-Oh: Magical Destiny Anything that can generally be classified as cute, cuddly, or kiddie...all need to burn in the fires of hell. . . . . Except for Dragonball Z and a few other selected Anime choices...those kick ass. ;)

[quote who="k10w3" reply="68" id="2669990"] They haven't so far, but this truly begs the question, WHY? It's good for the economy, it's good for the environment, it's taxable....why? Why is it any different than any other agricultural crop? [/quote] Two reasons mostly: 1. They make Way More money on Prosecuting so called "criminals" and minor "drug" charges then they'll ever Legally Make off using it for manufacturing and medicinal and even legal rec

Excellent Will and Outlaw. Well done both.

Ok, I know I'm going against what I said about being "Done with This Thread" , but, I think I can Sum-Up the Problem We're ALL having here... This game, Elemental, is a MIX of TWO things. FANTASY and STRATEGY. Inherently, these two things are Very Hard to Mix "Fairly". In Fantasy worlds you have things like "Lord Soth the Death Knight" from Dragonlance. You have Magical and Powerful Beings like Dragons and Demi-Gods and Titans. FANTASY FANS WANT to See These Uber Powerful Things IN GA

No my friend, that's not what I meant and I Apologize that I worded it as such. Of course you and Anatarr both have brains . I just don't think either of you are looking at this from All Angles .

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="289" id="2669840"] You don't see a difference between an extremely rare and extremely powerful Non-Player Character Creature that (by past accounts) can relatively easily defeat a *Sovereign* and a bunch of guys you can recruit at the start of the game for 60 gold? Either I am doing a terrible job getting my point across, or you are doing a terrible job of understanding it Recruiting a hero for 60 gold at the beginning of the game does no

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="287" id="2669824"] Stop trying to wordplay, it's meaningless. "Fantastical creatures" refers to creatures like dragons that are extremely powerful and very rare. Yes, you can enable a Champion to cast some spells by giving them your essense, but this doesn't make them a fantastical creature. It makes him a dude who can cast spells. Surely this makes them more powerful, but not enough to challenge a dragon. Champions are dime a dozen, they cannot be equal in

Sure some plants and little bugs will live on and in a million year evolve AGAIN. But human race will die. not sure why anyone would want to see the extinction of the human race.

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="58" id="2669572"]Since I barely have any freetime nowadays ['til September], I only played for like ~1h so far with a new Empire faction, but the BETA3 build looks very stable to me. No CTDs or lock-ups so far. However lot of stuff must be polished. I've spotted some Gfx related glitches already + the balance is weird. Example: I was able to recruit bone ogres quite fast as an Empire faction, and these beasts are really powerful. Also, what is the poi
