I cannot see how Elementals lore is similar to GalCivs. Was there a cataclysm in GalCiv? Was there multiple races AND different cultures? I just don't see the similarities at all.

WHY do people feel a need to say that faction X and race Y STOLE/RIPPED OFF faction A and race B?? I say that it doesn't matter at ALL to me. It's all about execution.

Eldar and Protoss Those two aren't alike at all. Only thing they have in common is that they are the elder hightech race with superior technology. Eldars armies are expensive, deal high damage, are very fast and focuses on ranged combat. They're fragile though. Protoss are also EXPENSIVE, got mostly ranged units and do high damage but they're very durable. They also got lots and lots of sp

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="113" id="2625665"]Another patch, another epic failure. Terran buffed again, protoss and zerg nerfed again. Terran is so OP now it isn't funny, yet they are continuously buffed ever more. Despite terran newbs screaming about void rays, they weren't OP at all. ALL AIR can be "OP" (ever been hit by a mass of banshees, or battlecruisers)? Yet the void ray was nerfed. At this point I have decided that Blizzard truly do

My natural reaction to people demanding systemrequirements to be the same as a 5 year older game is: "Pfff get an upgrade, cheapskate!" But I don't care at all about what's needed to start the game.

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="105" id="2613958"] Basically, they are the type people who think it's good to remove advanced user interface and automation elements from the game, so as to inject more tedious bullshit into it in order to "inject skill."

We don't know how the Attack & Defense mechanic will work and I'm not sure if even Stardock knows so I got a suggestion on how to do it. I have played all the Age of Wonders games, Disciples II, Master of Magic and all Heroes game except the first one but I've never thought the combatsystem to be good enough in any of'em. Master of Magic came closest though. Age of Wonders - Attack, counterattack. Every point of Attack

It's meaningless to use gigahertz as a performance measure by saying "my machine is a dual core 3GHz, so it has 6GHz of performance" . It's even worse to say " it's 3GHz but it's newer than my 3Ghz pentium 4, so it's

I like SkyNet too. Will be interesting when the first A.I that can "see the whole picture" gets created (Just hope it doesn't get installed in military supercomputers!) I'm also interested in A.I. So what's the best programming language for A.I? XML like you want to use?
