I played for a bit (between work and sleep). Work... hmm who invented such chore? Let machines do work I say and let us play Elemental! Anyway I hope to sneak in some more game play on my day off, even if I have to move out to a hotel for the day [e digicons]}:)[/e] .
I had made some of the observations mentioned (once I was directed as to how to speak to them [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ). But dismissed this as a work in progress. I sure hope this is not the final product for the dynasty system it adds so much depth and has so much potential.

Also how can I "color the skin and clothes of my sovereign and units? Select them (left click) instead of right clicking to move to them. Down in the bottom left action bar, you'll see a couple of commands. One of them brings up their stats/history, the other is to recruit. &
Well I finally got to play my first game and can see that it is all there "In the rough" of-course. This game well polished over years can become one of the most timeless games (Like chess) but with the ability to evolve with time. Computer compatibility. I first tired it with my low end laptop and I was surprised that it actually ran the game(graphics wise), however there was lots of lag took very long time when building troops and zooming in and out of the map. Now at
I am SOOO happy I was able to pay with paypal and am downloading the game now Thanks STARDOCK! Now if I only did not have to go to work [e digicons]XO[/e] . Tried to call in sick they do not believe me (wonder why I only been talking about Elemental non stop lol). So I guess I will be day dreaming at work lol.

You need to pre-order the game to get in on the beta. I'm not sure if there's a cut-off time for new testers. Know anyone with a credit card? Can you take your Paypal money and buy a pre-set credit card with it maybe? I'd try something as fast as I could if I were you, my friend. I'm sure there's a mention some-

("for better balance you see" just kidding). I am just to exited about this game and well I need to go do something else before I get myself banned from the forum. Maybe later beta will be out and I can start my mini fire work s
[quote who="Tridus" reply="32" id="2646843"] Quoting TarponCrest, reply 31why not just make it so that in multiplayer(or both single as well) there is an option to play the game as RT or TB tactical battles. This way insane players like me that like to take "days" on one move can do TB and for those that have limited time and want to do fast battles in multiplayer have a RT battle with all its chaos and glory of fun. Things like counterspells in combat can't work the same way in RT
Well I will write no more until I read Discworld and also because I think it may be OT and hate to get the forum admin unhappy. But thanks for making me aware of Discworld.
Does anyone know if there will be swimming (feat), Jumping (Feat), Etc. I have read there will be no Flying feat so I am guessing it is safe to assume the same is for the others mentioned? Also how about hunger and thirst will that be an option? I seem to have read that weather will not be a part of Vanilla but can be modded is that correct? Thanks

A bit off topic but if you are working on monster models will you guys be scripting in the game engine any shape changing, self poly-morphing, shifting, etc (I hope there will be a feat or item that will allow for this as a player I really would hate to wait for modders to implement this.

Leave it to Stardock to figure out a way to capture the spirit of a gamer in what could very well end up being a win win marketing scheme. It is actually fun to watch fellow gamers engage in a competitive way. Knowing that most likely it is not about the prize for most(I know it is that way for me) it is about the competitiveness of it all. Good job guys you guys sure have stepped up to the challenge. Remind me to be sure to be on your team in multiplayer mode when the game gets relea
Oh I love to see that I am not the only one that sees the VERY REAL potential for D&D games using Elemental as a platform and the bonus is the tactical battles no longer does one have to imagine, we can actually do the battles and encounters on a separate screen. (Well that is if the DM (Dungeon Master is not so hard core that wants combat to be the PnP way (dice rolls). Maybe eventually tactical battles can have an option to do dice rolls for tactical battles. But the best is already in
Thanks Brad for the guidelines you wish (helps me at least). I can't wait to see for myself what my imagination has been going crazy over (do not worry I know it is beta; I can see past the surface if the game engine is capable "off"... doing such and such.... then once the game is final it will be a master game indeed.

Oh I missed that post in my "panic attacks" sorry. That makes me feel so much better I been emailing customer service at Stardock they probably hate me by now *embarrassed*. I Hope it will be at least for the day that it will be available
What a great suggestion! Not sure if it is alot of extra work for the Stardock team (as they have there hands full already) but I can sure see this happening via modding. Thanks for posting this idea it sure would make the encounters with the npcs much more interesting and fun than just the predictable pay to join version.
