[quote who="Sarudak" reply="87" id="2432163"]I don't see why old tech should fade out eventually.

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="81" id="2432115"]For clarification, I beleive the free 'low level' tech mechanisim should work like this. - old techs will eventually turn GREY (this is after you've passed them over them around 8 milestones in that same category) - when a milestone is completed, the game will look to see if that category has any outdated 'grey' techs - if so, there's an overall 10% chance of getting one for free - if you roll a freebe,

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="69" id="2431980"] As stated by another poster I think it would make it always preferable to pick the rare red tech and try to drive as many techs down to grey as possible. I disagree. You're still making a choice of one thing over the other...and you dont INSTANTLY get it when it turns grey. You may have to hit 10 additional milestones to get 1 low-level freebe. No no no, if we do so we end up in a situation where eventually, no m

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="65" id="2431831"] -snip- I would liek to suggest a fourth tech color - grey. And I think that it should be used just as it is used in an MMO (when an opponent is so far beneath you that killing it does not give you experience. My suggestion is that 3 or 4 (or whatever you guys deem appropriate) tech levels beyond when a tech "goes green" that it goes grey. It can still be selected when a breakthrough is made. However, each tech on the grey list has a 10% chanc

kudos on the reaserch system seems intresting :) I got several questions though: 1. Are those the only reaserch trees? 2. Would we be able to reaserch several trees simultaneously? i.e having a slider to

I think the title says it all, 1 had a clear goal to find bugs and crushes but I don't see any post regarding what we should be looking for and reporting about in 1B. Some directions would be appreciated. Warder
Yes, I like. Some suggestions though, make the techs connected, for exemple, lets say you researeched fairly deep into the seamenship tree and after that researched a new copper ore, so in seamenship tree you got a new milestone of "Copper plated hulles", or another example, horse bow will only pop up after researching enough into the horse tree. Warder
I agree, we still lack good information about city and empire managment, for example: A break down of income and upkeeps in the city. A clear indication of how much meterials we need to build something, and how not having it will effect building said building. A clear explenation about resources. etc etc. Warder
Nah, as long as the modding tools will be as promised I don't see any problem with elemental only shipping with human factions, I allready know of 2 people who started to make fantasy models in Maya. Warder
I got 2 main thought on this subject ( Kodus on the original idea though) 1. " Uber " cities should only be built on certain points. 2. " Uber " cities shouldn't use the same mechanic as normal cities to create and should need research+Marna+ (lots of) essence. So for example, at the start of your game it's only you and your little <span class="J-JK9eJ-
In frogboy we trust. I'd rather have a meaningfull economic beta than one that I can't make heads or tail from. Warder
Elemental Forums
Guys I don't think that this economic model is anywhere near what the guys in stardock want tp have in the game, it's only a place holder Having said that, I would rather have the money slowly depleting during consturction than being subtracted at the start of construction, I would allso like for the finale price to not be set in stone, most time there are building problems and missfurtunes I would rather see building acting more like SotS reaserch.
Yup, LoTR will probably be 1 of the first mods for elemental. Warder

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="19" id="2349452"] P.s Would we really be able to zoom all the way in and actually see little people walking around and working in the cities? It's in the PAX build Little workers building new houses, farmers tilling their fields...it's quite nice IMHO[/quote] Wow! i'm been dreaming about this kind of game for years. Warder

I wonder how you chose a mate? unless your kids just leap out of your head like Athena and Zeus.... Any idea when the Beta starts? and any idea if we will be able to run it on 64 bit machines? I bought and I7 just for Elemental (and DoW2.... [e digicons]O:)[/e] ) P.s Would we really be able to zoom all the way in and actually see little people walking around and working in the cities?
