Can't you digitally purchase it still?[/quote] Interesting, it seems I can which is really odd because most of the new games available through Impulse demand that I belong to North America or someplace rich enough.

[quote who="porternielsen" reply="58" id="2695074"]Spathi-wa thank you for being someone who didn't attack me for my oppinion. I appreciate that. So to answer your question I will respond with a question. What would be some reason for someone not to want a game in which you could choose to rape others even though you would never choose that option? To me it is a moral issue and it doesn't serve a purpose in the game. It is contriversal, obviously; and I think I am not th
[quote who="porternielsen" reply="19" id="2694323"]With the two gentlemen marrying each other I vote no. If someone wants to make a mod then let them, but please don't push that on everyone else. I could make a lot of explanations as to why I don't want to see this but I think I will keep it simple and just ask politely that you don't include that in the game.[/quote] Oh no, after a statement like that we surely do not want you pushing your opinions on everyone else without a ver
[quote who="Sanati" reply="94" id="2645620"]I think life, or existence itself, is a gift. Giving life to something, no matter the reasons, is the greatest act of kindness. Would you rather live a mostly comfortable life being pricked and prodded every day, or not exist at all? Live in a bubble, or never have a chance? Pretty simple to me, and the fact that it could potentially help millions of people, if not all of them, is simply a bonus. [/quote] Why do you think life is a gift
That's the most brilliant marketing strategy I've ever seen in a game. I wonder if it is actually new... if it is, props to you guys.
[quote who="Demiansky" reply="37" id="2645107"]Quoting seanw3, reply 32I would be skeptical that we really have the advancements required to recreate something from its DNA. Last time I checked the methods used for cloning necessitated eggs and sperm that could then be split. My question is about the process and our ability to do so. Beyond that, nature is merely a fluid construct of humanity. Today's technology will be tomorrow's nature as our nature today is full of yesterday's technol
Brilliant idea! Morale is a necessity in every tactical game and by nature, it is complex. Your idea seems like a good foundation to large scale war-based modifiers, taking into account invading and defending armies plus time, distance and victories/defeats -- a nice start. Dr. Franknfurter add-on is also quite interesting. Captured towns should deal a blow to global morale to the defending nature, while giving a morale boost to the defending nation's local troops i.e. troops produced
[quote who="Tasunke" reply="3" id="2622011"]I like this idea on concept, at face value. Not sure if it is best for the current implementation of Elemental (namely the unmodded version) although it is certainly an excellent idea, and I wouldn't mind playing with this feature (and yes, I mean that even AI sovereigns would benefit from this ... And I don't think it breaks the game in this way either) [/quote] Care to elaborate? [quote who="swordguyj" re
I do not understand. Will Civ V be also available in retail or only on Steam? Will retail copies (if any) demand you to be plugged on Steam to work? Will Steam charge you for this?
I remember long and vast discussions on this matter back then but nothing along these lines was seriously discussed. Your idea is refreshing, still it shows a few problems: It implies dualism; you either accept the killing of foreign Sovereigns as end game or makes impossible for factions to vanish. If you accept dualism, you favour privileges to players close to the point of cheating. If you don't, you break the game; It goes against the lore so far. Sovereigns aren'

[quote who="Cerevox" reply="15" id="2547767"]Ya. You hear alot about hybrids. I am under the impression that they are in, but i have not seen anything from a dev on that(and if i have i must of forgotten) along with all the other fun breeding things. [/quote] They say it is fun to breed the offspring of one playable race with another. No word on monster breeding or non-royal unit breeding. It would be truly awesome to see Dr. Franknfurter applied together with a way of breeding y
[quote who="Cerevox" reply="5" id="2547823"]Channelers may be necessary for a full nation, but i imagine there will be many smaller, neutral, groups that will be controlled by non-channelers. [/quote] Fair enough, it makes sense that after regenerating the land small groups or individuals might be able to take pieces of land and start their own countries.
Beautiful idea. I would just like to add it would be extraordinarily fun to create new magic creatures by twisting or messing with the specimens you take alive. Perhaps you could even breed hybrids!
I would love to have heroes/family members rebelling and creating new factions, unfortunately thanks to the "Channeler only" nation-control this game has it is impossible. So, the second best option is to have heroes making your life a little hell by doing what you just cited: being egocentric a-holes. Let them steal money from your treasury, run away with your daughters, be awfully corrupt when in charge of government, make deals without your permission, attacking without your permission and
Interesting, but still requires fuel besides the fact the true chemical reaction is a "secret". Oxygen and fuel go in and what comes out? They can't just turn into a pure flow of electrons - magic does not happen. They also do not question the durability of it, how long it will run without failing. Far from revolutionary, I believe this technology will be merely incremental, take a few % points on fossil fuel use to produce a modest increase in energy production... or so they tell.</p
[quote who="Raven X" reply="11" id="2537526"]Real Neanderthals didn't eat THAT much meat. Sure they were hunters but it's not like they were able to kill something every night or even every week. For a more accurate example of what their diet might have been like I would suggest a study of Native American diets prior to their contact with Europeans. Sure they ate lots of meat but not every day. They ate a lot of vegetables and fruits and dried
Don't you have a big dog or two? This would keep bears and other wild beasts away.
[quote who="Raven X" reply="39" id="2528643"]As far as I know they haven't gone back on the decision to keep Sovereign Death = Game Over. It does bring to mind the question though of why they put so much work and love into the Dynasty system if none of those children will ever become Sovereign's them-selves. In the long run the best thing would probably be a "Heir Option" that you would check at the beginning of starting a Custom game. Also by only allowing this option during a custom game th
Clarifying a bit my 'no': I consider it is much more interesting for a 4X to lose based on your own incompetence than by sheer tragedy in one single battle. Let us not make every game a regicide, please. Think on all the complexity, the struggles one nation might face after its Sovereign is dead. Now think on how 'game over' is a cheap way out of building a proper scheme of succession.
No. And no options.
Nice idea Demiansky, kudos to you.
[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="101" id="2522613"]I'm not even sure how dynasties went through the beta, what kinds of new and exotic functionalities it has and it hasn't. Dynasties aren't in the public beta yet, but the first draft will be in the next release, hopefully this coming week. [/quote] Oh, I thought it was already in as magic was promised to debut in the next beta.
I really hope it is CScott, but so far we have little evidence for that. I'm not even sure how dynasties went through the beta, what kinds of new and exotic functionalities it has and it hasn't.
