Reply to Integratable MODs in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I'll be willing to wager that, in a multiplayer game, you'll at the very least be able to see what kind of mods the other parties are running. I'm not sure wheter or not you'll be able to pick and choose who's mods you're going to run the game with, or if there'll be some kind of auto-transfer into your mod bank - but regardless, gathered from various dev. statements, I think it's fair to say that you won't have similar problems as you had in Sins.

Actually, I'd like to revise my position and say that Federation Dauntless-class (real or not) is my favourite. Aestheticly.

Reply to Trek Ships in Everything Else Elemental Forums

I'm a fan of the Federation Defiant Class. There's something distinctly Starfleet about them, but with an elegance not present in most the others. I wish they styled themselves after the Defiant style more than the two-to-four nascelle-on-sticks style.

Reply to What Did You Play This Weekend? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

How do you know that I'm allowed to say? ;) Anyway, what little time I managed to squeeze in this weekend was spent on playing around with Fall from Heaven 2. Mostly some minor modding, but there's something special about being Order Basium/Mercurians, kicking ass and taking names. :)

Reply to Sovereign – king, sorcerer King or God King in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Obviously, without divine magic, a wizard is "just" a wizard. But there's nothing specifically preventing a wizard from also being a priest. If a Sovereign sets himself up to be the self-appointed god of a nation, what's the prevent him from appointing his own priests, handing out magic to them as he sees fit? In a way, that magic would within that nation be considered divine - after all, it's handed out by the resident god. Other Sovereigns? Pretenders. Pompous charlatans and heretics.

Reply to Science of magic in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Denryu" reply="16" id="2327784"]One of the great things about magic is, although it should be internally consistent to it's world or universe, there really are not and should not be any ground rules. Creating that "plausible structure" is half the fun of creating a magic system or writing a fantasy novel or making a magic computer game - or at least that is what I would enjoy![/quote]From our perspective, I completely agree. Magic can be whatever we want it to be. All I want

Reply to Science of magic in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Why would Magic contradict Science? Why can't there be a science of magic? There is simply no truth to such a statement. In most settings, there is a definite science to magic. It's limitations. What it can and cannot do. How do you research new spells? Is magic a fundamental part of the universe or not? Everything I've seen on Elemental tells me that magic is a fundamental part of the natural order, meant to flow freely around and through everything, hence the catastrophy when t

Reply to Science of magic in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Sounds like a few basic laws on the science of energy at large. I'd like magic to be a sort of science. Not everything or anything should be doable with magic. No-one should be able to do something completely retarded and then blame it on "y u so mad it's magic lol?" or "It's fantasy. Anything's possible. It doesn't have to make sense" . Lore-wise I'd like Elemental to really aim for internal realism. Everything should make sense within the context of it's own univers
