Yes Stardock is in MI.. as am I muwhah hah ... I will sneak into the building tonight and ninja the game ! Get me a copy while you are in there and i will cover your bail money...rofl![/quote] your on! <

I am rereading the Landover Series by Terry Brooks.. its been a very long time and a new book is out so I figured why not...

[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="1" id="2720009"]Judging by the lates Beta videos out there, the corpses disappear right after the unit is killed of. It might be different in the day-0 version, but I wouldn't count on it. Blood and gore is not the realm of Elemental.[/quote] well i wager in the end it has more to do with P.C. resource management then anything else heh heh...

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="41" id="2720006"] Quoting Fading_Suns, reply 29Argh! The wait is killing me! I want to play! What happens if an enemy sovereign is killed in your territory? I'd imagine that they wouldn't escape that easily, but what happens to their kingdom? Does control fall to their children, or does it become a neutral kingdom? They would die and their faction would be inherited by someone else.[/quote] &nbs

[quote who="charon2112" reply="38" id="2719999"]can I just ask one thing? Are these the final graphics...?[/quote] What we are seeing now, if not final are very near it.. they chose an artistic style based on Alphonse Mucha works, you can read more in a interviewe with Stardock's Scott Tykoski from Aug of 2009 on ign http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1019369p1.html there has been other discussion both on these

[quote]I don't hope this has been continued on at all. Entire cities just magically disappearing? I'd like to see each city turned into a minor faction.[/quote] hmm very good point.. I fully support the cities going neutral then.. I just think sovereign death should be same for AI and player alike... but I do understand that we cant always get what we like because the AI is not able to deal with some concepts....

[quote who="AND04" reply="23" id="2719954"]hmm, i pre-ordered like when they first anounced it - and beta tested the game - after buying a 2nd copy + upgrade to limited a while ago it stopped showing up in impulse though... hmm - any thoughts on if it will show up again in time for the early download? btw is it correct that i only see 1 elemental serial registered to my acc allthough i bought 2?[/quote] send email to sales@stard

when you level you can spend a point in any of the stats essence is one of these.. the only 2 remaining ways to lose essence is to die or imbue essence at least that is the case in beta 4.. (unless i missed something in my hours of testing b4 heh heh)

In beta 4 if you kill an enemy npc sovereign in your territory they are dead and their kingdom disappears.. I hope this carried on into release.. but if it was to hard the A.I. not to be foolishly risky I can understand why not..

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="2719861"]Tomorrow. Beta testers get it early tomorrow, Pre-orders get it midday tomorrow. Everyone else Tuesday.[/quote] from this thread.

[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="3" id="2719854"]yes, imbue them with your essence or recruit them.[/quote] you can only imbue a hero unit (like janusk or any of the other wandering adventures you might recruit) I believe with children at least your direct children will be casters .. not sure about grand kids heh heh...

[quote who="Storm" reply="2" id="2719432"]In posts discussing this with Brad last evening, he said the Campaign took him about 6 hours. so he would expect it to take us 8-10 hours and that it was indeed designed to give you a feel of the game and how it runs. I hesitate to call it a tutorial as he didn't call it that nor have I played it, but I certainly got the impression it was the place to start. [/quote] Yup it does indeed...

see i believe that when everyone has the same chance to find the demon slaying sword that is balance.. however I do understand the difference between my interpretation and what most people mean when they say balance.. tis why I support options/custom servers in mp so that a group of folks can all play by certain rules so they get the experience they want.. I really do want to see a strong version of MP with tactical battles for this game.. But I understand that wil

[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="53" id="2719469"] Quoting lackoo1111, reply 528 hours only ? That's too short for a TBS . It'd be short if that's the only mode that the game offered, but the real game is the "sandbox" mode.[/quote] indeed as Brad mention in a post some where current campaign is designed to get folks into the game and help them understand the world and mechanics.. Its a tutorial with out being a tutorial heh heh.. Now I am excited about what future campai

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="29" id="2719551"]Yes, I realize that. I was wondering if the chat is connected to the irc chat.[/quote] ah sorry heavenfall, don't know for sure but i doubt it.. mostly because it seems like a good way to introduce the reactor chat system.. but I am just guessing...

[quote]Nope. They changed it.[/quote] Storm is correct as I posted above [quote]that video in part is not valid any more. we no longer use essence to found a city.. we can found the first one for free the rest require a pioneer unless you concur a city.. I also believe if you loose all cities you regain the ability to found a city again with sovereign but i might be wrong in this..[/quote] in fact its easier to get essence now (when you in crease it during level up in

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="26" id="2719533"]Is this the irc chat? Or did you make a new system/channel?[/quote] they are talking about the built in chat for impulse reactor... hit shift tab at new game screen (or later) and then log in .. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="TheProgress" reply="14" id="2719278"] Quoting Raven X, reply 8 I'm here by Drafting you for work on the Dragonlance Mod. Report for duty soldier!!! Hmm, Dragonlance you say? Perhaps.. I had plans to expand diplomacy, re-balance units, re-work the basic unit stats (str, int, con, etc), change how economies worked, add a paper-doll inventory / equipment system similar to Diablo 3 and (if possible) create a "treachery" mod allowing heroes, wives and dynasty

[quote who="Storm" reply="45" id="2719200"] The campaign tools you guys will be using are way way way better than they were when we made the campaign. The trigger system is mature now for instance. I'm eager to get my hands on it and start working. With Tiles and things we create for campaigns, will these automatically be allowed into random maps or can we restrict them to the campaign only?[/quote] <a href="https://forums.elementalgam

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="2719181"]I'm the mod master. So knock yourself out. At the risk of hubris, no one knows the XML stuff like I do.[/quote] Wait who is this Hubris guy? What kind of risk are we talking about and are we sure we want to risk him? [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

I am going to haunt these boards will playing a little beta 4 and may be some SC2....

it does sound like an intriguing idea... just one of many possible custom servers... the mind boggles with glee at what next week let alone next month/year may bring.....

I love the posibility of additional (I am going to call them modules) modules / campaigns both retail and non... this gives us as users the ability to make and trade them.. Can you imagine what a kind of a module a Stardock staffer or seasoned fantasy write could do given time? he is an interesting question how long/many man hours did it take to make the campaign?
