[quote who="Planet_Sucker" reply="698" id="2356309"]Somebody posted a good copy of that file for individual download a page or two back. Just overwrite the corrupted one with it and you should be good to go![/quote] I managed to miss that post :( Edit: Completely can't find it.
[quote who="mrakomo" reply="48" id="2356319"]I like the picture on the right side (the city pictures). In the picture on the left side, there are some objects that can not be recognized. Perhaps the gamma correction may correct this, but it is not good if there is something like this.[/quote] Are you talking about the comparison shot for HDR/No HDR? Other than the smoke trail from the chimney, which is a matter of camera angle more than anything e
[quote who="SavageBananaMan34" reply="4" id="2353415"]Incest can be included as long as those kids have a significant change of being born with some major vice, be it insanity or a crippled body. They should also not survive past infancy as often as other babies. [/quote] You do realize that it takes [i]generations[/i] for inbreeding to become significant? Yes, if there are already any recessive issues it vastly increases the odds of them showing up, but the overall de
[quote]How will I claim godhood with children running all willy-nilly over the land?[/quote] Make sure that your children are the only ones you invest Essence into.
It was a guy in some kind of fantastical armor, with a dragon in the background. The part Kyro objected to was the fact that the armor was some 'nudity' involved.
Biggest difference there, is that JK has complete control over it. [i]She[/i] is the one in charge of remaking it to fit the screen. Sure, there's plenty of stuff changed.. but it all works.
[quote who="Gnats3" reply="34" id="2355722"] Quoting Ron Lugge, reply 23The one real problem with the no HDR one is the fog of war can be 'seen through', though You can see terrain through the fog of war in lots of games . As long as units and such are hidden, there is no problem.[/quote] Look at the other pics! I think that that land is 'unexplored', and thus should be completely hidden.
I like the soft75 and the NoHDR ones equally. The one real problem with the no HDR one is the fog of war can be 'seen through', though :D

[quote] The idea of doing 1 dmg has the same probability as it doing 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and so on damage is outdated.[/quote] Not outdated. The resource cost in terms of system resources doesn't force us into it, but it still works well.
Hrm... maybe that was my problem then, Foog. I'm a tech-player, by nature. I turtle up, build my techs, then striek. That's how I play. No wonder SOTS drove me nuts!
[quote]I was wondering how you guys are planning on doing the damage calculations. As a statistician, I find it lazy to use a pure random number generator to get a value for damage or defensive rolls. [/quote] Personally, when I was sketching out the details on a RPG I was thinking about programming for class, I came up with something similar to the following: 1 1% 2-3. 5% 4-10: 50% 11-30 100% 31-36 125% 37-39
[quote][quote][b]Currently, most of the major gameplay aspects are locked down,[/b][/quote] See that word MAJOR yeah uh huh just as I said the core design is finished.[/quote] Amazing how you focus on the word major, not most :P
[quote]The thing is the game will never be the game WE ALL WANT. There's too much diversity in opinions and wants here. I want this, another person wants that then the arguements ensue over why each others wants are stupid and redicuous and insane and blah blah blah just like every other game development forum out there.[/quote] Alas, all too true. But the rest of your post... [quote]I will give most of you a little clue. The game core has already been built. The game DE
[quote who="psychoravin" reply="10" id="2353332"]You're reading too many books again AIAndy. I said THE MOVIE didn't say anything about any books. Things change from books to movies in case you didn't know.

[quote]So, if you are evil enough, you might turn into something like, to use a LotR example, a giant flaming eye.[/quote] While the movies strongly imply, if not outright state, that Sauron has been reduced to an eye, the books make no such statement. The red eye [i]is[/i] Sauron's symbol, yes, and he is referenced that way several times, but it's more metaphorical than literal. He has a physical form (else how could he wear the ring?) even if he is usually seen as an eye
[quote who="Pnakotus" reply="11" id="2352017"]Frankly, regardless of whether someone wants MP or not, saying your game has 'MP... if you pay enough for your connection' is going to leave a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. It's probably begging for negative press, too.[/quote] Problem is, just like was pointed out above, the limit already exists! SD is just enforcing it.
[quote]We all know in most every game that ai is usually a pushover and we get so strong it becomes not much fun to continue on and boring.[/quote] Good news: GalCiv's AI's ain't no pushovers. Better news: the man who did GC's AI's is the man who will do Elemental's. Best news: the man in question is well known for his 'opinions' with regards to AI -- we already [i]know[/i] the AI will be good. Maybe not human player good, but good.

Question #1 missed the best answer: they belong to whoever the family belongs to. If I marry someone off to another empire, then the children belong to that empire. If someone marries into my empire, they belong to [i]me[/i]!
[quote who="psychoravin" reply="28" id="2351697"]Yeah I agree I think that's false advertisement.[/quote] How? They are using the terms in a slightly different way than most companies, sure, but still well within the limits of the term itself. On the subject of 'beta' they are, in fact, [i]closer[/i] to the idea than most other companies; they actually use their betas for testing and not glorified demos! As for 'always' been free, no, not true. [

[quote]How about Counterstrike then?[/quote] Wot's that? I recognize HL1 and War3, but what's counterstrike? DotA I remember because Demigod was 'like' it, but whats counterstrike? (Slightly more honest note: If I hadn't played at this video arcade once where they did a lot of DOTA and counterstrike, odds are I never would have encountered either...)
