[quote who="Beric01" reply="21" id="2670224"]Sorry, but I'd love an anime mod. I like anime almost as much as I like PC games. And fantasy anime is even better. Add something "cute" to an anime mod and I'll play it already. Kawaii! [/quote] Hmm... Record of the Lodoss War Mod? How about a Serial Experiments Lain mod? I'd play either. Or an Ergo Proxy mod. Mmm...anime mods - here's hoping...
[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="41" id="2683781"] Quoting Austinvn, reply 1So, in the name of realism, there should be a chance of having a child only when spouse and sovereign are in the same tile (pubs and theatres would add to this chance, naturally).Agreed! And I think it would add another interesting branch to the decision tree. If you want to found a dynasty, stay at home with your mate for awhile. [/quote] <a href="http://Wait...

[quote who="Bellack" reply="79" id="2683425"] Quoting Wintersong, reply 70Will diplomacy ever have something in the lines of SoaSE with "enemies" giving you missions and offering a reward for its achievement? Not at the same level than in SoaSE where you had them constantly, but more from a time to time (and according to circumstances). What is 'SoaSE?'[/quote] I'm guessing Sins of a Solar Empire
[quote who="GammaPaladin" reply="10" id="2682995"]Heck, if you think that's funny... If you keep your sovereign and his wife together out adventuring, their kids still appear in the capital.

[quote who="psychoravin" reply="62" id="2683162"] NO! No picking and choosing at the start this is what was a major problem with MOM as you found spells you liked better than others and then one began picking those same ones every game. Don't give us a choice let NATURE make the choice, let FATE make the choice for us. The more RANDOM in the game START the better. Or at least make this OPTIONAL for those that don't want to have to be put in the position to choose what spells to start wit
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="14" id="2682585"]There's a typo in the "Message from Blumb" screenshot [/quote] How do you know he doesn't just talk like that? Maybe he's...less mentally endowed...and that's his normal speech pattern. It's not like people always talk in proper grammar. Especially in fantasy games from less than decently intelligent cultures/races/people.
First - what is Willpower? I don't remember seeing that stat? Do you mean Wisdom? Second - why not have Wisdom impact certain spells. Kinda like the Cleric/Wiz distinction in D&D and other RPGs. Attack/Debuff Magic = Int Heal/Defense/Buff Magic = Wis Call...er...I mean Summon magic = Int + Cha World Magic (stuff that impacts the map) = Int + Wis This would give "melee" rulers 3 stats to care most about (Str, Con

What's the use of pioneers when all you need to do is expand your borders?[/quote] To claim an area that would take forever for your existing city's influence to reach? Aren't pioneers the way you expand your borders? I.e. Making more cities so you have more "influence squares"
Can't wait! Wish my map scrolled that fast :(

[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="5" id="2674379"] Quoting Peace Phoenix, reply 4 I think he means the 3rd tab on the results card after the fight. You can click on them to see loot and the log of the fight. Sadly, I am unable to see any result card after a fight. Nor do I. When I win/lose I don't know what happened.[/quote] I saw that results screen...ONCE since in .805, Haven't seen it again, even in .806 :(
In my current game, there was this stack that wondered by me. I tried to recruit and the stack leader said he wanted 375 gold to join me. I figured, cool, I have over 700 gildar and they are equipped so I took them up on their offer. Then - somehow, I was in the red for 220 gildars. How can I be in the red by paying 375 when I had over 700? Was that 375 PER UNIT? I guess so (should either be some indication of that, or the price quoted should have been 375*number in stack). <p

One thing I found interesting is there was this one stack that in one play would NOT join me. The dialog cursor didn't show up, just the attack cursor. Their leader even said "Ah, Morrigan (my sovereign's name), Layea (the city) looks ripe for the taking!" Or something to that effect (never did attack though). I reloaded and then the next time around, they WOULD talk with me. Wanted 375 gold. Okay, fine, I had 700+ and for a stack of equipped fighters, sure (their leader had 7 (!) def

Is it typical for Empires to have a harder time gaining champions? Or did I just end up with none around me?
Yeah, that's it - I'm constantly around 97-99% CPU usage. Here's the top of my debug.err for my PC. I'll have to remember to make one or pull the data from my laptop.

Decided to try the minimap feature and it seems to be what hung my game. It never crashed, but it was "Not Responding". I had to close it from Task Manager. Debug.err link
While I know there's going to be performance limits due to debug data collection and it being a beta and all, I just wonder if there's some settings I'm missing, either in my nVidia control panel or within Elemental itself. I've already turned off AA and Adv. Lighting. I'm running in Windowed mode (which seems to have cleaned up the graphics corruptions a LOT - granted I haven't tried 3D maps in Windowed mode). I've tried running in 1024 in fullscreen. Perhaps I should try 1024 in win

Seems like a challenge. One thing I notice is that I can't recruit groups of troops even though I have researched Team and Army in the Conquest tree. I don't know about the armor situation for me, I just started and picked up Tools of War so I can get some weapons and have been focusing on trying to get the tech for the resources I ended up near (a forest is near my second city and there's a mineral or something I might make a third city to claim).
Still slow here - while I won't say it got [i]worse[/i] and maybe a little better, but it's still jumpy/choppy/slow - especially music and graphics. Music is probably the worst for me, performance-wise with graphics (scroll background, opening movie, map scrolling (not the movement of the map, but when it has to load a new section of map - things freeze for a bit).

Grognar....and Betty? Heh. Poor Betty. Such a plain name. I hope she doesn't look as plain as her name - otherwise she might have that "Ugly" trait and you wouldn't get 16 kids :D But, yeah, genetics - with a degree of randomness/unexpected results, would be pretty cool.
