So, how do Kindle book people get their code? Thanks.

I'd love to see a tactical combat sandbox. Choose your troops before the fight, maybe have a points system where each side gets the same amount of gold/people/material with which to customize their troops, then you go right to the tactical battle. I.e. bypass the strategic building and resource gathering and focus on the combat.

[quote who="TCores" reply="12" id="2609284"] I'm not sure we are on the same page here. I'm talking about having the AI know when to Retreat from a tactical battle, and I've written equivalent AI before in different games to that. Strategy games with "autoresolve" actually greately improve the accuracy of the AI, because the AI could be given access to a virtual "auto-resolve" to see how badly it might lose. Determining a "threshold" value is an arbitrary task, but the programmer can mak

Thanks for sharing the peek under the hood! We do a lot of data-driven automation protocols at work, so I always like to see how others do it. One variable I'd like to be able to tweak would be a randomness factor. So maybe you set all your priorities, turn phases, etc., then you have a variable that adds or subtracts a % from each. That way your enemies will have some variation from game to game. Just like a real player. Some days I'm feeling aggressive. Some days I just want to see

I'm betting that most of the people who want to be involved in an early beta are going to fall in the "more customization options" camp. But for the vanilla game, I'd rather see more of your lore fleshed out. If you don't flesh out your lore, I worry that we'll get another generic feeling fantasy world. Just don't get rid of on of your big strengths: [quote]On the other hand, having factions and races that are different provides us the ability to provide customization

It said the beta was still open yesterday, but I didn't get around to ordering until today. Then I noticed it was closed, so I'm guessing I have to wait until the next phase. But if you ordered last week, you should be OK.

We know our show isn't for most people everyone. [e digicons]O:)[/e] The interview got me all excited for Elemental though, so job well done! --Winin
