[quote who="StevenAus" reply="34" id="2997484"]Good to see you are still around, Raven. Best regards, Steven.[/quote] Thank you, brother, I appreciate that. I've missed being around too so expect to see more of me when I feel up to it :)
For some reason I can pick up/collect structures that are level 3 and 4 with my guy who would only be able to have access to level 2 places. Like I can grab a level 3 chest, with my guy who's only supposed to be able to grab level 2 stuff on the map.
So, just a quick update. It was ALL OVER the news the other day that scientists have found the building blocks of DNA out in space. No "maybes" this time. It's confirmed. The chemicals needed to form are DNA ARE FOUND in space and in comets and meteors. I'm too tired to post links right this second (going to bed), but if I remember I'll get around to posting some real links tonight if you guys don't find it before me before I wake up this afternoon.
[quote who="Nenjin" reply="28" id="2996913"]Something Awful totally delivered on this one. Brace yourselves. Populous 4: The First Person Shooter[/quote] OMG.....that has NOTHING to do with the original Populous. That dev needs to be taken out into the street and horse whiped...and then maybe shot in the head just to set a good example of what we'll do to devs who trash our beloved old school games for a quick buck.
Hahahahah Nice One chief :), good stuff. Dissenters will be quested....permanently ;)
Good stuff man, welcome to the 21st century [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
If they do it as a FPS, and say, make it so you can pause and then jump into anyone in your squad, then it might be cool. If they limit it to controlling just one guy in a FPS futuristic world, it's gonna blow. Yet another case of them cashing in on a classic name to make another sh!tty FPS...
Great input into your upcoming plans, chief. I definitely like the idea of the AI using "mini-strategies". Such an example would be to cast a mass freezing spell that turns a group of targets into ice and then shattering them with a earthquake type spell. Little things like that, the AI using spell combos and planing for them and setting them up, would be a great step in the right direction for that I believe. Something I've noticed playing the base version of Elemental is that as
It's Spectacularly Cool for what it is. Best $10 I've spent in years. I bought my wife a copy and tonight we're gonna play together and build a new world.
[quote who="sydneysiders" reply="14" id="2943557"]seems the removal of #10 has mucked up the quoting naming... intriguing.... what on earth could Raven have said about Dr Who to be worth removing.... unless he said.... David Tennant sucked.... that'd do it.... [/quote] No, wasn't that. My post in the thread wasn't even about "Dr. Who" as I first thought it would be about the royal wedding, in which I made a joke and posted a funny p

Excellent stuff here :). Very good to see weapon specializations. Next, we need a magical item that lets us make our own specialty weapons ;).
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="46" id="2915681"] Are the maps and terrain randomly generated? Yes. Unlike War of Magic, the continents are generated on the fly. [/quote] That is good news indeed :). One of the advantages to making it a different game would probably be quite a few tweaks to the engine that wouldn't be possible/compatible in Elemental, at least that would be one of the logical reasons to the expansion being a separate g
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="5" id="2914362"]He did mention the 300 page Dom3 manual. I remember getting that huge thing and reading it like it was the bible and I was an ex junkie who just found Jesus. The game had a simple demo that let you learn the basic mechanics, and the book had strategies for each nation. Yes, Dom3 three is complex, but it also came with a great guide. [/quote] Not to mention you could have huge armies and all your little stick fig

[quote who="mbaron888" reply="78" id="2914662"] Quoting RavenX, reply 75 Seeing as how you don't like real time games, I heavily suggest trying the Shogun 2 Demo before going out and buying the game. Those of us who are loving Shogun 2 most likely enjoy real time battles just as much as we enjoy turn based empire building. You can always auto resolve but don't cheat yourself. Play the realtime battles and see how detailed they are. [/q

[quote who="onomastikon" reply="67" id="2914064"]Thank you for this post. May I ask a question? I have never played a TW series game before. I just read the review on GameSpot, it was the first time I have heard about this game, since I do not follow prerelease news about anything much, and have (mistakenly?) believed that the previous TW series were RTSs (which I do not like). Anyhow, when reading the review, I was shocked: the game seemed to be exactly everything I would have ima
[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="7" id="2913861"]When the city level-up dialog pops up, the citys info screen shows up in the UI toward the bottom-left of the screen. This feature is already in the game, folks. [/quote] We're looking to see what bonuses the city already has (if any). I don't think that displays just by clicking on the city with the decision box in the way.
[quote who="Philly0381" reply="21" id="2913854"]RavenX no matter how bad Vista may have been it sold and Microsoft made money. They then made some more money bringing out Window 7. Oh, and Windows 8 is on the way and guess what, they are going to make more money. [/quote] Yeap, they never learn. At best they should release a new OS every 5 to 10 years. Especially when half of the time they're asking whole corporations to upgrade every syst
