I really don't like rigma, better go with Gildar or Thaler or Ducats. Better suited for a fantasy game in my opinion. Agree with Vessol there, Rigma sounds more futuristic/Sci-Fi.

My compliments to the Frog and the Stardockians. Well done. This sounds very interesting indeed. I'm in love with Elemental already! I'm a lucky fanboy indeed! :D
I'd love to see Stardock making a Civilization game, A 4000BC to 2050AD, human history game. Firaxis need some competition, and I'm sure the Frog would make the greatest Civilization-like game ever seen, and he would really love the task. Perhaps call it Frogboy's Empires or something. It's my dream for the next Stardock game. That said, I love Firaxis, Sid Meier, and the Civilization games, but we can't get enough of this genre. Actually we are starved to death
We need workers. They can be raided and taken as slaves as well, wich is very fun. Workers are fun!!! :)
Really love the arts. This style is more to my heart then Heroes V..... :) Looks splendid, interesting, and feeds my fantasy, without looking too superhero'ish or childish....
Yes indeed!
Same problem here as well. The game breaks down in the first turn, usually after building the city.....
Love it, it's like the grand game Tropico! :)
[quote who="joasoze" reply="7" id="2438137"]No no no - you are on the wrong path people Dont join the dark side... These odds cannot be calculated. They can in CIV IV cause its all based on known values, but not in Elemental. If we are going to control our army in any way during the battle (think Heroes of Might and Magic or even as a little RTS game) then its not possible to calculate. A good player will always have better odds than som calculation based on AI se
I'd like the combat risk evaluation to be based on your scouting skills. Something that will make scouting skills worth while, something like Heroes of M&M IV! :)
[quote who="Tridus" reply="23" id="2413716"] Quoting NorsemanViking, reply 7 I strongly oppose these suggestions as a horrible waste of developer resources, and as a boring attempt to be political correct whatever the cost. I'm so tired of this female sexism, I'd almost wish I lived in the time before computer games..... So... doing something very simple that makes the game more commercially interesting to the other 50% of the popu
Well, I seldom like the kind of games girls like...... Sims comes to my mind...... Edit: As long they are fat and ugly like most female queens in real history, I guess we could have a few of them, but only if it is the last hope for the ruling family to keep the bloodline in power.

It's not unluck when your Sovereign dies, you have just taken too huge a risk..... Can't understand those complaining, the powerful Sovereign must be balanced out in some way. Using the Sovereign in 50/50 odds battles in the early game to get early advantages should potentially cost you the whole game. The alternative must be to have a far less powerful Sovereign in the game.
[quote who="NuclearEngine" reply="7" id="2395883"]Adding another step into the economic model would help this senario out. For instance: Mithril ore is used to make mithril armor that can be stored in a warehouse. These armor pieces are then used to make troops. If you lose the mithril you can still make the troops for some time but will have to get back that mining node for future production (or start trading for some armor). Your notification feed
[quote who="NTJedi" reply="48" id="2365969"] 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. [/quote] I'd love to decor
[quote who="mrakomo" reply="25" id="2350790"]Elemental will be realeased in the USA, so I suggest to implement the setting of the gender (who is the rightfull heir). Otherwise you may have problems with feminists. Even if we ignore them, it is true, that some societies prefer men while the other women. E.g. the king of the Amazons is an unthinkable thing. Or the pope is never a woman. Well that case happened, but.... [/quote] Fac
Held my breath in 10 seconds before I discovered it was this jolly old flick!
Damn, no news yet..... ;)
Oh yeah, I'am in! :) Of course it won't be as prioritized as my Elemental testing when the beta comes, but this might be interesting! http://www.weplayciv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1298
[quote who="Shurdus" reply="18" id="2344021"]Boodiebac, are you saying that regular units can not become regulars, veterans or elite units like they could in MoM? [/quote] I don't think that was his intention. The screenie clearly shows these regulars can get XP. I guess his point is that these poor units dies so quickly that they seldom get the chance to advance to veteran levels......

I'd love Stardock to make a Civilization game (of the kind 4000 BC - 2050 AD). It seems to take ages before a Civilization V arrives from Firaxis. Stardock's experience from GC1 and 2, and from Elemental, will be usefull indeed. I bet the Frog would love to develop such a game too, he is a Civilization fan I've heard.

As long as I've pre-ordered this is no probøem at all. The only downside is i have to wait longer to play online with my non pre-ordring friends.... But do i understand it correctly, is beta1 in august after the alpha? Does that mean all pre-orders can start beta testing in august already? :) NB! Let's hope the release in august 2010 won't collide with the release of Civilization V then..... ;)
Looked at the survey, and gave up, made my head hurt. 16 spots for each? Was drinking too much vodka yesterday too, so I guess I need some more rest before I'm able to even think about taking the survey.... :D
Wow, this is what I want to use my summer holiday for. I have all of july free from work, so total dedication on Elemental would be the best way to spend it. :D
