Another question: If you guys already have a combat system, that you are tossing out in favor of Tile Based/Turn-Based, why not let us try it?

Will we be able to MOD and bring back the (continuous turns/pixel based combat system)?

This is the first time in a very long time where we are going to get a game that actually has some meat, thought, creativity and power under it's hood. I don't care if the Battles take 3 hours as long as they are engrossing, spectacular, and require alot of thought on my part. If

I agree with Raven X in almost all points. If the Devs Dumb Down the combat system, well, it will be bye bye for me, no more buys from stardock. In many aspects this game in being dumbed down, and I fear this could happen to the combat system. I really hate to be kept on the dark, and I say this based on the fact that neither are we "playing" (testing or whatever) the same build that the devs (and a group of betas) are now and we don't have ONE NEW SCREENSHOT IN GOOD SIZE (sorry this

Well, here I go: WINNER. TAKE. ALL. - I don't like the idea of having to finish my opponent in N turns, it could be like in AoW, only the attacker can retreat, or something like that. Draws are part of life at some points, sometimes you don't have what it takes to go and kill your enemy, but you can always give him some damage or even kill some units before retreating. (if you guys, want to make things this way, please keep an option for us who don't want it)

About "my side moves first" vs "speed decides who moves first" I don't know what's best....I'm not gonna prete

I agree with you Silicor, but I think that Laser Squad Nemesis is a poor example, we could have a system like in UFO: Aftershock and UFO: Afertlight, this way, even the multiplayer could be done, with a setting like: When time hits X, time stop to issue orders again, this way you could ambush, attack, retreat or even adapt to your opponent tactics... And in Single Player it would be: "stop anytime the player wants" or even "stop if event X happens" (ex: Spoting an enemy and so on...)

I'd really love to see one tactical combat, I always loved X-com and I'm intrigued about the combat system... Could we have some screenshots? At least 1... The screenshots in the media section are quite old... How will things like explosions and the related physics be treated? Ex: A fireball explodes and throws units around. Will we have this kind of physics implemented? Ps: Sorry for my bad english once again...

I really think that before we begin voting and arguing, we should see the Tactical Combat. Ps: I remember to have read somewhere that it would be continuous turns, but being able to slow things down to turn-based or speed it up to RTS. Am I going crazy or what?

ThreeKings, I do not think that you used the right expression, imo it must be: All hail Frogboy and his BRAVE DEVELOPERS!! Just my 2 cents

I totally agree, cooperative-games are a lot of fun...

I agree with this: Expand the race distinctions and provide more assets and code to support players creating their own custom factions made up by their own custom races. More customization is always more fun, it will give the game a longer life spam and more strategic options. Its my opinion of course.

Can we at least get another map?

First things first. I'm really sorry to say that, Frogboy, but the game is already FUN... (believe me, I played Dominions 3 and other games without graphics and I have to say, elemental is a world of Fun) I really wish to see it done right, I really don't care if I have to wait until 2020 (supposed that I'm still alive by that time...) Until now, Elemental is the promise of the Best Game I ever played, and I am looking forward to see it in his full glory (and to be abl
