I can't wait!!! But will have to. Once I collect enough Solar Credits I'll ride out to the Stardock and pick up my copy. My girlfriend couldn't wait. She hopped a ride on an express mail rocket and is halfway there...
So what other uses ( outside of Elemental ) have people come up with for the map maker? As I wage a blackberry war and reclaim my parents forest for family use; I've begun restoring, and adding, little elf villages and such across the land. As I labor, I brainstorm riddles for the finding of these locations. This Spring we'll have a grand easter egg hunt. Each location will have a hoard of eggs. I intend to craft a
I'm one who wouldn't mind waiting longer for a more complete game. I feel that Civ4 badly needed that time. But I've no concerns about Elemental being anything short of a bargain of fun from the get go. And from day one on, the game just gets better. I've become a fan of Stardocks method of rewarding paying customers with a stream of new content and improvements; vs the old punish the players DRM. I'm very much sold on Stardocks way of doing busine
[quote who="dragoaskani" reply="27" id="2709979"]Civ 5 has very modest requirements, dual core systems were available in 05, you can't expect pc developers to keep building for antiquated technology. If you don't have a dual core or better its time to either upgrade or stop calling yourself a gamer. [/quote]Civ5's specs might be modest in relation to contempory games of other genres. But for the game of Civilization, those specs are awfully high. As learned by
Word of mouth advertising!!!! I heard about Elemental, when I posted a query on a forum as to needing to find a replacement for Civ. A poster mentioned Elemental and so here I am. Then I returned the favor by making a number of Elemental mentions on Civ forums. One dude asked for a Civ replacement just as I had. I posted a link and provided a little info. He replied back that he'd pre-ordered the game. Word of mouth advertis

You should have it when the new beta arrives. That could be tomorrow or a couple days.
[quote who="Leto2626" reply="16" id="2696553"]To be honest, I stopped caring about RTS after Tiberian Sun ... I get too stressed out with RTS, if you play a bit slower you will be completely overrun. I rather like TBS, all chill and relax, considering options, ... that's how I like it ![/quote]Me too! Though it was Age of Empries 3 where I jumped off the bus. I'm not much into all that rush rush button clicking. But I like the tactical side of the battles. Th
LoL This is "show the Elemental Devs some love" thread. Not a show Blizzard some hate fest. Just saying. Though I agree with much thats been said. But I'm mostly a one game gamer. Was fine with Civ until it got steamrolled. Though 2k had been chipping away my enthusiasm ever since they arrived. A search for a Civ replacement lead me here. For a number of reasons I am Very Glad I made it. <span style="text-de
I'm sure that many of our Stardockian friends would like to be playing Starcraft II right now. I imagine some of them have been waiting a long time for that game. But they busily craft our game instead. For this, and more, I give them a hearty Thumbs Up along with an enthusiastic Thank You! If I could, I'd send them pizza and beer. <

Yeah I totally like this idea!
Nice idea Raven X! I think Wheel of Time would provide you with much faction fodder. Including a sea going faction (Atha'an Miere) and a strong naval power in the Seanchan. And much much more... The Aeil, Aes Sedai, WhiteCloaks, Ogier, Trollocs and Shadowspawn, Forsaken, .... The Shannara series, written by Terry Brooks also comes to mind. <
[quote who="Wintersong" reply="17" id="2692436"]* description based on point of view. YMMV [/quote]LoL yep! For me, this all boils down to POV. I don't want someone dictating to me what to say and how. Nor do I want my access to other peoples thoughts, to be limited by some 3rd party. Though I do respect community_agreed_upon standards. And I do accept the house rules of my host. But I rage against self righteous t
If restriction, amercement, and censor must exist; then at least show consistency such that violations are predictable and avoidable. I get especially peeved by one site in particular. It's the biggest fan site on the net, for what was once my most favored game. So I have begrudgingly accepted the wildly erratic moderation. At times the mods behave like lazy lunatic nazis. They infract harmless postings, while ignoring purposeful tr
An d a couple ear lobes, two nostrils, a belly button, and..... ;~p I'm for limits. Perhaps a max of 2 or 3 accessories - could be combo of necklace, rings, whatever. Thats in addition to magical armor and weaponry. Mods should be free to set their own caps. But I think the core game should have some limit . This reminds of a question I've had: Can the gear from defeated units be awarded to the vi
Ring limits are kinda strange anyway. You can string them on a necklace or stash them in pockets. But you can say that only rings worn on fingers imbue magical properties. And you can say that some aspect of the wearers nature is required to tap into the properties of rings. Then say that the wearer only has so much of this aspect to go around. So only N number of rings can be used at one time. You can say many things in order to est
You'd think so. But I haven't seen digital release of new_games to be cheaper. Not yet anyway. As relates to developer and publisher concerns... I think these distribution reports should include a data set relating to new releases only. That report is likely to show that retail beats digital by a long shot. The discounted sales of old games don't impact developers and publishers as much as sales of newly released games. The bulk of the mon
steam sales also tweak the figures somewhat. I've read many a posting where people say they buy games just cuz the price is so low. Hence only 36% of dollar sales despite 48% of unit sales. According to this report, Brick and Mortar still account for 64% of dollar sales. Similar sorta thing is happening with digital books. Digital distribution_is on the rise though. I just think the numbers are somewhat inflated due to sampling methods, free and di
LoL There are alot of them! I've got a few dozen spell suggestions queued up. But haven't posted any until I can run a duplicity check against those already posted. I've saved them in a text files for the time being. Nothing more accessable than that ;~p
Apologies Tasunke if any offense was felt. This thread was posted in the General Forum... which means that it exists in forums outside of the Elemental community ( it is shared across multiple forums ). So I thought this a fun thread; not a serious game thread. Elemental specific topic
