[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="6" id="2864752"]Come on Toby, my buddy, my pal, look into this for me. It's been longer than 90 days, I checked. I want my content, even if it's outdated and unbalanced![/quote] its been looked into :) I cant really talk too much about it but I can tell you it hasn't been forgotten about, just other things had come up that were deemed higher priority. Still coming though, just will need a bit more patience. To clarify, there

a temporary fix for this problem has been found, here are the steps to get around it: https://forums.elementalgame.com/401836/page/5/#2864652 So now we know what the problem is and how to fix it, however, we are still working to figure out why its actually happening. In the future, once we find what is causing it, hopefully this will no longer be an issue... For the time being though at least the

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="32" id="2864453"]There are some really cool ideas, I hope they add more than just the winner to the game, there are at least 10 of these ideas that are better than anything that is in the game now.[/quote] just like the magic contest before it, any good idea is a good idea. Even if submissions don't win they could still be included in a future content patch.

[quote who="Fistalis" reply="72" id="2863309"] Quoting nrich61, reply 69i still crash as much in 1.11 as 1.1 , its hacking me off -.- The price to research a tech goes up as your lvl inceases in that tech.. so if I choose tech A at level one its cheap.. but if I take tech B first then go for Tech A its more expensive. I personally would like to see this altered in "some way". Maybe assign level values to each tech rather than base the research costs off your level.

[quote who="LightofAbraxas" reply="16" id="2861828"]It's fairly entertaining, sure. But honestly, it's not really a great strategy game. Elemental is sorely lacking in strategic depth, and I have to say that it concerns me a little that the developers posting on the thread mention the interface and not game mechanics, though I guess that this doesn't necessarily mean that it's not on their radar.[/quote] I think what Brad and Jon mean is more for the game as it stands now the biggest

[quote who="Jon Shafer" reply="44" id="2861591"] Quoting Kestral2040, reply 41 Quoting Jon Shafer, reply 40Chrono Trigger is the best game ever. That is all. Jon troll Says the guy who has the Chrono Trigger figures on his desk! Jon[/quote] they don't make Suikoden figures! :D plus, note the FF figures are there too. FF6 is still my fav RPG of all time, however, Chrono Trigger and Suikoden 1 and 2 are up there as well.<

I've been sick all week and still managing to work :) no excuses!!! :D

I think its meant as a compliment... but as an Uggla detractor I would take it as an insult ;)

[quote who="Alstein" reply="30" id="2861566"]Maybe tie level of monsters to a non-gameable formula somehow? My idea: Spawn Level should be a function of habited map percentage (what % of the map is under influence), world population, techs researched , world difficulty and a random factor. Other factors could be added in expansions. This would be checked every x number of turns, and those messages would be given when the monster lvl increases.<br

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="138" id="2861226"]I am right here, I can speak for myself. You've got a company that is hiring and firing, almost simultaneously. That is an interesting event. And try picturing yourself as one of those laid off people witnessing this sometime. Unless these laid off staff were serious underperformers, most people would say you're better off simply reassigning the people you already have. Not to mention t

I played a bunch of obscure PS1 games so I'll give it a shot... what perspective was it in? if it was RTSish where you could drop in to kind of control units in third person then maybe Warzone 2100? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipF0B54bais if it was first person with some like construction/unit production maybe it was Uprising-X? http://www.youtub

[quote who="kenata" reply="37" id="2861109"] both great characters, I just feel like the depth of Jowy has always stood out to me. I am especially fond of characters that aren't cookie cutter and adhere to personal morality or make tough realistic decision. Esp when they are realistically flawed, nothing is better to me than a game (or any story telling) where I have moments where I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing or if the 'bad guy' is really bad. Btw Kenata, check

[quote who="Istari" reply="163" id="2861030"]Jon Shafer is the devil. No! He is the devil's more sinister grandmother, who taught the devil everything he knows. For those who might argue otherwise, here is a short list of bad things about Jon Shafer: If it weren't for Jon Shafer, Global Warming would be a lovely term about fairer weather. Chuck Norris hates Jon Shafer. Jon Shafer invented usary. George Lucas was threatened by Jon Shafer on pain of anal rape, to

[quote who="kenata" reply="32" id="2860887"] probably the most interesting char in Suikoden 3 which is inferior to 1 and 2 btw Imo Jowy is one of the greatest characters in the history of RPG's. I agree to the inferiority of Suikoden 3 to 1 and 2, but not to Imo Jowy being one of the greatest rpg characters. Then again, there is some mean competition out there, like Locke for FF6 ( FF3 American) or Frog from Chrono Trigger.[/quote] both great characters, I just feel

probably the most interesting char in Suikoden 3 :) which is inferior to 1 and 2 btw :D Imo Jowy is one of the greatest characters in the history of RPG's.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="126" id="2860666"]Well, Toby, I could boycott your post due to you avatar, it reminds me of how my girlfriend dresses her dog up all the time and then I have to pretend to feel something other than disgust and sympathy for a tiny, tortured creature.

THIS IS TOTALLY NEW INFORMATION!

I've been told I'm allowed to tell you, the third employee is a former SD employee, Jeff Colvin. He is known as dreamer on the forums and has worked with us a bunch in the past. He left before to go back for more schoolin' but is back now and will be a great asset to the team. For those curious, he's a programmer.

maaaan I wish were cool enough to have people boycott things when I got hired :( Ima go cry in the corner.

hrm... so you want me to remove that from the future design docs? we were going for a staples 'easy' button type feel, does it help that it was red?
