[quote who="Burningpet" reply="38" id="2633287"]i read somewhere that it will be possible to make a completely diffrent game just from the editor, if i am not mistaken, you gave the example of how you plan on making an RTS mod. beside the fact that this is very impressive, how will you handle indie developing groups wanting to use the editor as a developing platform? will you go the blizzard way of letting people sell their mods and take percentage? will there be some way of purchasing c

I also think I would have to concur with the OP here.

Hey Raven in your suggestion post, do you have a section for the options we want attached to the combat engine? I mean options like the ability to limit time of tactical, turn auto resolve on or off, meta-mechanic like options. Because it seems to me if we had a thread like" When it comes to combat what options do you want included" it might help the Devs build it. Example would be a screen at the very begginging of the game that went with the screens Grphics/Aud
I recently downloaded MoM for my nostalgia kick. And I'll admit I am loving it, 3 am rolled around and I didn't want to go to bed. But it did get me thinking about one very big pitfall in the 4x genre while I was getting my ass handed to me last night. And that is the must build start. I'll give you a great example from MoO2 since I haven't remembered what the order was for MoM yet. When my brother and I play MoO2 there are 2 techs that <span

Burninget if that is the basic enemy ship, not sure I wanna see the momma ship lol. Very nice sketches though, especially if those were just a couple of quick rough draphs. Always wished i could actually draw, but no wasn't in the cards for me.

lol yeah when I was looking at the dates I realized/remembered I was age 10-12 when I was playing these. God I can't beleive my mom let me play the Lewd one hehe.
Alright had to go download MoM from GoG to get my nostalgia fix. But that Got me thinking about the REALLY old games I have played and loved as a kid. So here is a short quiz to prove to yourselves if you are really an OLD gamer. Yes you could google these but that cheating lol 1. What was the name of the company t

well I love my two Nvidia 9800 GTX+ 512 mb, They were near the top of line when I got them but the are probably down to the 100 dollar range by now.
You know I guess it is an immersion thing, But I can say that I never ever really associated a real time frame with turns in any TB games I played unless they put in seasonal effects. Combat taking place over multiple turns wouldn't bug me, in fact I love the idea. I just have trouble understanding not doing it becuase some pre defined 1 turn = 1 year thing. Personal thing but I would hate to see an idea as good as multiple turn combat go out the window because of something li
Wow I had forgotten about this game. I remember loving it also. lol

[quote who="Nathikal" reply="233" id="2631392"]So! gone through and read all of this...give or take. Ish. And I have found some questions...mainly because I really don't think we have enough information to clearly point out ideas regarding how to do tactical combat. How many tiles are we looking at here? Is it like Heroes of Might and Magic where you have a handful of tiles, some units take up 1 tile, others take up a 2x2 tile, and it's not terribly hard to cross the map in o

Oh and for the record, the pretty graphic screenshots of the Ele beta.... Low my freind, seriously Low [e digicons]X|[/e] I didn't realize at first you were a SD employee and went scrambling to impulse to see if the update was available Followed by the "How the Hell did he get the beta 2 game" Followed by the realization that you were with SD and a very heavy sigh [e digicons]}:)[/e]
I have Elemental Beta, Fallen Earth MMO, SC2 Beta, and Bloodbowl in my current line up. But I played none of them I played the Elemental Forum game waiting for Beta 2. Well that and I reinstalled X-Com 2 and Dawn of War 1 and the xpacs through Soulstorm. But seriously I am dying here waiting for the Beta 2 release to get back to picking elemental apart again.
You know that does bring up a question on my part about my rig.... I am running an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ 3.00ghz When I was confronted with the choice of a 32 bit or 64 bit OS I was a bit stumped. So I asked the sales clerk if my processor was 32 or 64 bit. He said it was a 32 bit dual and not a true 64 and by extension I was stuck with a 32 bit OS. But I cannot help but shake the feeling he didn't know what he was talking about. Of course wit
Another point is favor of a TB model. Most people have said they want alot of abilities or even just a few abilities on a wide selection of units. And while abilities on a party of 5 are manageable in a CT. If you have 30-40 units on a CT, and each of those units have spells or abilities or special attacks. Trying to manage all that while playing in CT mode is going to become a nightmare.. Especially since alot of the abilities will have to be used once you are within melee ra

I was going to start this post by counterpointing the previous post. But after chiding someone else on the forums recently for their emotional attachment to a stance... I realized that I have just done the same thing in these threads when it comes down to RT vs TB. And in all fairness it is doubley horrible on my part since as I said I had chided others for the same behavior. So let me start with "To those who I might have offended, attacked or beltittled making my poin
