[quote who="StoweMobile" reply="5" id="2035873"]I would kill to get in on that LOL! The game is probably better in it's primitve state than anything else out right now....except for GalCiv 2 of course [/quote] If you would kill to get into the beta, you might as well pre-order now.

[quote who="redphoxv" reply="8" id="1972018"] I guess in the end I just think that Stardock is being stubborn with Impulse and should just resign themselves to what is eventually going to happen. If Gas Powered Games with Demigod is smart, this exclusivity deal for a PC game won't be for more than a few months. Stardock makes great games, that's the only reason I find it annoying that they limit their audience in the name of competition that's already so uneven. It's like
[quote who="ArkhanTheBlack" reply="9" id="1969825"] However, you certainly don't play Dominions 3 because of the graphics. They are 'pragmatic' in a starcraft way, nothing more [/quote] That's a ... nice way to put it :)
I think they use karma to get a list of people that might get in to early beta, then they actually see what those people have done for the community. It's not like there is going to be an automated "if you have over X karma you're in". And there probably won't be a lot of them either, only a select few.
[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="13" id="1970748"]Quoting Eplekongen, reply 12Ehm! In case you didn't notice I quoted you and used your idea. But sort of changed it. I was suggesting that there shouldn't be a separation between beta/release versions of the wiki. Just the beta wiki become the release version wiki, full of the not up to date banners until somebody checks them. I got the impression that you suggested that the release version wiki be empty until articles in the
[quote who="psychoak" reply="8" id="1970342"]I'd hate to know what you consider a less than astute observation. [/quote] Perhaps I should have used another smilie. [e digicons]:dur:[/e] perhaps? The word "thematicly" wasn't exactly what I was looking for. My main point was that you won't have the same large diversity of intelligent races in EWoM as in MoM and HoMM
[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="11" id="1969342"]Quoting Eplekongen, reply 10One suggestion. The wiki logo should perhaps show that we are still in pre beta. Just by adding a "pre-beta" sign on it. And when we enter beta, change it to a "beta" sign. Then when the game is released the new wiki should be seperated between a beta one and a released one. From there every article should go tru a validation prosess, where you go tru all the articles and change what is not up to date.<br
Ohhh, I am making a very astute observation, pay attention now [e digicons]o_O[/e] HoMM and MoM might not be exactly the same in terms of gameplay. But thematicly they are very much alike. You got your elves, dwarves, humans, gnolls, trolls, eggrolls etc. And you have castles as important, not so numerous bases. I believe that EWoM will be different from the two other games in the aspect that there is only two playable races, humans and fallen. Th
Edit: DAMNATIONS!
[quote who="Vordrak" reply="22" id="1969333"]I have two questions for Brad (i) Can I be in BETA 0? Please??? I own all the games you mentioned. (ii) It is hard for me to pre-order games many months in advance as I prefer to pay by Paypal where possible. Is there anything you can do? [/quote] Please people, no beta begging, mmmkay? Unless it is for the laughs, we do so love the laughing [e digicons]:D[/e]
[quote who="Luckmann" reply="23" id="1968900"]But then what do they have the space helmet for? [/quote] Because it's very fashionable
Why in space? I thought the space ponies lived on a planet, only being called space ponies because they are not on earth.
Yeah, but I was taling about two guys, with the same speed moving towards each other, when the turn ends and they move they will just end up changing places???

Good rant :) I agree on most here. There are a lot if ideas here on the forums that gets way too complex after a while. But I also think that is completly ok, I enjoy the many different ideas I see here, even if many of them are impossible. What is really important is that we are aware that there are limits to a game, and that we accept that. Hopefully noone will get angry because a certain feature wasn't implemented in the game, but I think most people here on the foru
Wow, Polistes, you are an awsome drawer!!! [e digicons]o_O[/e] [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
But how does it work when two opponents are trying to attack each other? wouldn't they just go back and forth over and over again? [e digicons]o_O[/e]
[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="21" id="1967764"] I count 3 periods. Oh! I just found another, 4 periods. I'm sorry, I really tried to read that but when I got to the 4th line of he second paragraph my eyes threatened my with my life. Punctuation is your friend. If you want people to read your posts, use it. [/quote] I must agree. I didn't read any of that [e digicons]-_-[/e]
I want seperate mount attacks. It makes a hell of a lot more sense, would make awsome cinematics with a horse falling over but the rider getting up and keep on fighting. And who says it has to be so complex. It really doesent.

If you did that you're professional about it and you are excludig everybody dam, also don't forget the other feet. thats a /j but its really good. He didn't forget it... The dragon was making fun of Frogboy... Luckily for the dragon, Frogboy let him off with a warning [/quote] I'll go with that, yeah, that could be what I meant.
Wait, damn! I had totally forgotten about the third movie! Seriously, must have blocked it away or something. Yeah, that one had a whole bunch of annoying differences from the books. But to be honest, I haven't seen the films or read the books in years.
[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="15" id="1963262"] By neutral cities do you mean neutral human/fallen cities? Or beast cities? If beast cities, please tell me that they'll be in a form that makes sense. It would be really awkward to a beast city with buildings. And if neutral beast "cities" aren't in the game now, can you add them? [/quote] Beast cities? Wouldn't like it, that would mean they were sentient, wich brings us back to the elves dwarves ogres thing that is
I haven't seen anything about ahotseat option either. But it is a turn based game so why not? I doubt it would be very hard to implement. And yeah, that brings back some very fond memories of hotseating HoMM, though I played HoMM 3 the most :) but HoMM 2 had WARLOCKS!!!!

[e digicons]:D[/e] But yeah, I kinda study art at the moment, focusing on digital art. Dream job would be drawing conceptual art for games. That would be AWESOME!
Heh,[quote who="Wintersong" reply="15" id="1965184"]Quoting Eplekongen, reply 14I mean seriously, if you don't stay true to the books you WILL NEVER have as successful a franchise as LotR. Ahh, the stupidity! LotR movies were TRUE to the books? I could agree with the first one but with the others... [/quote] Oh heh point taken :) Ok, but LotR was still very close to the books, a lot closer than almost any other movie based on a book. And Luckman, i was
