[quote who="moondoggiee" reply="21" id="2366225"]Would a specific ability to scout really be useful? I mean, once all the dungeons are cleared, they sorta become deadweight and useless. Unless there are randomly generated dungeons periodically. [/quote] No ruins or dungeons should ever reach the state of being permanently cleared by natural means. The monsters, undead, insects and other evil beasts actually seek dark, damp and unholy places... much the same w

Reply to Elemental: PAX Preview Part 2 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

All great news... I wish I could have attended PAX to see the Elemental game. :) I see lots of fans growing more interest in Elemental... perhaps Stardock should take a poll on how many would be interested in purchasing $7.oo Elemental T-Shirts. I suggest $7.oo(or less) since it would help advertise the game. I personally would be interested in Elemental towels. [e digic

[quote who="Ron Lugge" reply="19" id="2365400"] If we're going with unit design (which appears to be the case) don't 'tack on' special units like that! Make it an extra 'feature' that you have to train for, sure, but don't just tack on 'specific' units to the custom ones! That's one thing that GalCiv II did right: If I want to create a colony ship with the firepower of a dreadnaught... I can. It's just stupid. [/quote] Sure it can be an extra 'f

[quote who="moondoggiee" reply="12" id="2364947"]Maybe there can be a spy or scout unit that has the 'spy' ability. After successful spy mission, you will be able to get exact details on the creatures in the dungeon. [/quote] I agree, there should be a unit such as a "ranger" who would have the ability to identify what's probably living in the ruins. A regular guard who's only been trained in spears wouldn't know a group of harpies is probably living inside the ruins,

Reply to Sacred 2 - Better then Diablo II? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Diablo 2 is better from my experience These RPGs and Hack/Slash games need: 1) a random world generator.... I'm tired of these fixed maps. 2) an actual living world... one where the Evil Bosses are not stupid couch potatoes waiting for you to kill them!! This is so stupid. 3) more types of buildings and shops... I'm sick of only having three types.

[quote who="Netaddict45" reply="206" id="2357908"] Dunno. Seems to me any kind of military force could do this, not just a powerful supercombatant.

And it would take even more turns to build a military force equal to that of a channeller who pours all the essence into himself. This means the channeller will own t

[quote who="Netaddict45" reply="202" id="2357011"] I don't think it will work the way you say, NTJedi. A powerful channeler hoarding his essence may indeed be very powerful personally.. but that's essence which isn't used for expansion. It didn't make lands habitable, it didn't provide your nation with special resources, it isn't inside buildings which are creating magical equipment, it isn't in the hands of a spellcaster working to expand your nation. There is no reason to

Movies during Lunch at Stardock in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

This is an idea which I believe will provide inspiration and motivation for the Stardock developers. Basically during the lunch hour Stardock will play a fantasy movie for the staff. Since hands will be busy with their lunch their eyes can be watching one of many great fantasy movies. Why stare at the soda machine when your eyes could be watching a fantasy movie. The staff could also vote on which fantasy

[quote who="Netaddict45" reply="200" id="2356213"]Personally, the idea of weakening my channeler to strengthen my nation really appeals to me.. and as such, I'm very pleased with the idea that if he is killed, my nation will die, as it will be another thing to consider if I use such a strategy. If that were not to happen, I wouldn't see a point in making an ultra-powerful channeler. I would just spend all the essence I can to strengthen my nation, knowing that it co

We dont want to get into too fine of detail with battles since the war-game is only part of a much larger picture. [/quote] Could we use modding to add wisdom, precision, dexterity and others?
