Excellent post! Really good and very workable ideas. [e digicons]k1[/e] from me! Meaningful and interesting choices are the go. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [e digicons]:beer:[/e] Best regards, Steven.
There are complex biological, social, political and whateverelse-ical problems to overcome. =) No one person has complete control over it. But if we go down, at least we dared to dream (and of course, play Elemental and follow-ons 'til our dying day ;-)). But one thing we can do - is treat others how we'd like to be treated, and be genuinely nice to people every day. It may not seem so, but it makes a tangible difference to people's lives, here and now. And while
Well, I won't worry at all if it doesn't make it in. But if it can, either as an option or as a mod capability, then I say, Frogboy and Team, go for it! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [e digicons]:beer:[/e] [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] And I think some others might enjoy it too. =) Best regards, Steven.
Basically, I can't think of anything that can only be viewed only one or two ways. There is colour in the world, which is why we don't see in black and white. So why do we try to shoehorn everything into black and white, good or evil, heroes or villians? The world is just way too complex for that sort of reasoning to work. There are spectra for practically everything. (Spectrum plural, nothing to do with spectres. ;-)) <span style="font-size: xx-small;"
Well, it just depends on the way Stardock creates their code, with regards to stack sizes. Whether it can be modded in or not, I don't know. Stardock, what are the characteristics of stack sizes (and different size "units" - whether 1 or many) that you are currently planning in the full game, and will it be moddable? Best regards, Steven.
The point you make is very true Raven X, and can be accepted no matter your stance on piracy. It is very easy for hackers, or even people with a wireless router who find people in their neighbourhood who have open/unsecured networks, to basically do stuff via your connection and then suddenly for the poor computer-illiterate sucker "Innocent, until proven guilty - it was nice knowing you." <span style="font-size:
I like this idea, but it depends a lot of how much the options, or mod capabilities, allow, which itself depends on how difficult they are to program (or allow to mod). But if they are possible and reasonably feasible, I'd like to see them included in options or (have to the capacity to be in) mods. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Best regards, Steven.
I like this idea. [e digicons]k1[/e] All sorts of things could be done with it. And I think the game could use a bit more "magic-ness" in some areas. ;-) Best regards, Steven.
Try DropBox. It allows you to put files into your Public sub-directory of your main Dropbox directory (where they will get uploaded to the server after a little while), and get the link for others to download the file directly. Best regards, Steven.
Exactly. [e digicons]:star:[/e] Best regards, Steven.
Maybe 1.5 and you need need to have, say at least 0.6, to have one more diagonal movement (if you don't have the full amount). Currently you only need to have >0 (more than 0.0) amount of movement points to move one more square, but I think a way to simulate the greater distance travelled over a diagonal would be a requirement of, say at least 0.6 movement points remaining. Or a different value to emphasise/de-emphasise the effort to take a longer, diagonal path. I thin
Maybe it's because Horses and visual Armor haven't been made part of the Royal Knight unit yet? That would be my best guess. Best regards, Steven.
Is this intended? It seems to give you an advantage because you can see the rough lay of the land (and sea ;-)) before you've even explored those areas. Best regards, Steven.
[quote who="Cauldyth" reply="2" id="2673717"]Yeah, they've already stated there will be a unit limit per stack/battle. I think it's 10. Should be implemented soon. [/quote] Well, that makes some of what I wrote in the last post a little redundant. But I don't know, maybe mods would be partially free of the unit restriction (ie. maybe have up to 50% more units). But maybe not. Best regards, Steven.
I strongly agree with the thoughts expressed in this thread. [e digicons]k1[/e] to each Basically, one epic battle wins you the game or finishes you off ie. Stacks of Doom = a little bit boring. I think a good solution would be you could only have a certain "customizable" number of "units" on the one square - ie. single unit is considered to be a standalone unit, *OR* "squad" or whatever size of group you have capacity for via Warfare Research. So once you have
[quote who="Mandelik" reply="30" id="2673682"] Quoting edpfister, reply 17I'm not sure why but if I'm not mistaken Brad said that we wouldn't see the final UI in the public beta. Seems like something you would want feedback on so I'm not sure what the thought process is but it's disappointing. Game feels clunky and hard to test currently. Just thought you should know. Thanks for the info! It would be somewhat disappointing.<
[quote who="Mandelik" reply="14" id="2673541"] quoting postWe’re going to hold off adding significant new features until we’re happier with the stability. Good! I have severe lagging problems with Beta 3 However may I suggest you take opportuny from this 'time-out' in new features to improve the UI like you want? (it's not really a feature I would say) It's gonna be much easier later to test the new features with UI streamlined and fully
The original American Declaration of Independence was made from hemp. [e digicons]:star:[/e] And I wonder how all those boats in the early days of sailing were able to explore all round the world if their sails wore out like cotton wears out? [e digicons]:grin:[/e] No, we had much more durable materials in those days. Best regards, Steven.
Especially if it's already in as an option as of 0.805. =) Best regards, Steven.
Well, as long as they are well planned, well resourced and have a good risk/reward ratio. I don't think creating a large empire has ever been simple. =) Best regards, Steven.
[quote who="vrakern" reply="224" id="2672936"]So, unique not-direct-damage spells, eh? What I have been thinking about for the past week, but not really fleshed out, is a new book. We have summoning spells already, though I have not really been able to explore what is in the game at this point (CTD, bug, CTD, ad nauseum). What I have been thinking about is a Book of Transformations. Rather than (probably) costing a lot of mana and potentially essence, transformations instead cost
Definitely. Small addition for huge usability gain. Best regards, Steven.
[quote who="ddd888" reply="3" id="2672941"]spell of mastery doesnt really fit the actual elemental magic system, but hopefully there will be some change soon[/quote] Yes, hopefully that changes soon. If Stardock is riding on this game, whether the game elements "gel" and are interesting and risk/reward ratio is reasonably balanced is very important. After all, even if a game has extensive and intuitive modding tools, the basic game itself has to be at least solid and inter
Okay, well it's my first beta. ;-) Hoepfully the next one has lots of bug fixes, stability improvements (and maybe the odd increase in how interesting building cities is =)). Best regards, Steven.
I'm wondering, was there going to be a new Beta version today? Best regards, Steven.
