[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="172" id="2760769"] Quoting klaxton499, reply 159Stardock is it possible for you to segregate the Dev Journals to paying customers? We are the ones who will be most interested in where the game is headed. +1 I think this would eliminate 95% of the trolls.[/quote] I appreciate the problem you're trying to solve, but I don't think that's the right solution. I pre-ordered Elemental in Feb because of what I had read in the Dev Journals

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="35" id="2760560"]I'm going to take a small break from making journals only so that there's time for the game itself -- the basics -- to get addressed and restore the faith for those who are on the fence or those who feel let down by us.[/quote] I understand you said you'd take a break from the journals and I respect that. With that said, I wish you would reconsider and do some more posts related to modding the game. For example, shor

I like unicorns.

[quote quoting="post"]Seriously you'd think that stardock was some bosnian girl throwing puppies into rivers.[/quote] I don't care for that comment. My wife's uncle's mother's best friend friend's daughter's grandfather's mistress is from Bosnia. Why does it have to be a Bosnian girl? Why a girl? Why puppies?! WTF did puppies deserve to be thrown into rivers for? You cruel bastard.

Have you guys shared any of the generated maps through Impulse?

I finally tried the Dominions 3 demo last night. It looks pretty cool. just wish I knew what I was doing. :) The graphics are... well... what can I say, I'm a sucker for good graphics. Sorry, for saying that, please don't revoke my strategy gamer card.

I haven't played enough games to get a feel for it, but seems like it's best to create a bunch of cities before going up in the tech that spawns new resources. Pick your location and the resources will come. Am I right in my thinking that the resources only spawn around your cities? I do wish it was more Civ like (I'm sure they're tired of hearing that by now).

[quote who="Spyndel" reply="12" id="2760269"] With respect, and with apologies for being grumpy, we've had years now of pie in the sky posts about fluffy conceptual goals based on Tolkien or your favorite anime, that have gotten us to where we are currently at. By your own admission during your recent posts, the dev team had become too enamored with that sort of thing during the dev process, at the expense of basic gameplay. We need nitty gritty, down to basics, f

[quote who="riadsala" reply="5" id="2759881"]This isn't an ideal situation. And Civ5 is going to sell a huge amount, most my friends are buying it, so maybe i'd be better modding that. Even if it's tools aren't as great. As at least then I can give people copies![/quote] Wait, you want people to get a free copy of a game so you can have them try your mod?

I haven't tried it but looking at those screenshots it looks awesome! I think I agree with you that the beaches do look better than the cliffs.

... and one more for the night to keep this thread alive. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Wait a minute, that's so unrealistic. They didn't have wash machines back then.

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="58" id="2759207"] The one thing I question about this is that Stardock is a privately owned company. Who exactly would these capital investors be if that is the case?[/quote] The Mob or the Tooth Fairy.

[quote who="the_Monk" reply="117" id="2759203"] mmm........now that the armour visual debate has heated up nicely......I wonder if I could introduce the request for "breast-physics" on all female characters? I think that's what's *missing* from the game to be honest. We're all here in the name of realism afterall...... hehe [/quote] There's an app for that... (or at least there used to be)

Novaburst, thank you for taking the time to write up this information. It's very helpful.

An updated quest system? Do tell. I don't expect specific details but are there going to be significant changes to the current XML schema? [quote quoting="post"]After the release of v1.08 (this week) I intend to instruct moderators to be even more stringent on that sort of thing because we (as a community) need the Stardock developers themselves to participate on the forums.

Nicely said. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] I'm looking forward to Civ V as well but I've resigned myself to the fact that it probably won't run very well on my computer. So I'm trying not to get too excited about it. I could have bought a new computer but spent the money on my wife's new laptop for school. So might be awhile.

^ bump Looking forward to seeing where this thread goes. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

If we could at least search for replies by a certain person, not just posts they started, that would be helpful.
