Reply to Ugly children in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="26" id="2515364"]Do we get spells to choose the appearance of our children? I mean not just to make them look pretty (instead of ugly). I want to be able to give my kids green, blue, pink, and/or purple hair just because I think it would look cool (I've watched too much anime). Designer babbies basically. I mean seriously, I'm *THE* soveriegn and channeler. I can bring life back to a barren world. I can casts magic spells. I can even research the "ma

Reply to Thinking about buying in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"] I think I am all demigod out and looking for something else. Could you kind souls hint Frogboy tell me more about this game. I have mostly played Age of empires series and supreme commander. Is this something similar that I would enjoy. Thanks Gary [/quote] Elemental has nothing to do with AoE or Demigod. Sure you can fight in Elemental, but you have to build an empire, send heroes on quests,

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="39" id="2505784"]Just like in Stellar Frontier, if a given user doesn't have a particular mod or asset it would be uploaded to them. We don't expect users to have to hunt down for mods.[/quote] Thanks god ! Supreme commander badly needed that feature, and it killed the modding community (there were always a good community, but really small. It was hard to get games runing to try new mods) Autodownload mods is absolutely needed.</p

[quote who="Kodiak888" reply="47" id="2488079"] Quoting vieuxchat, reply 43 I backup every game I buy, then write them to a DVD. How is it different from a retail version (apart the re-sailing thing) ? These backups are mostly, if not entirely useless without the Client. And without some of the updates which are unavailable to you outside of piracy even ones that work without the client are near useless. This is what needs to be addressed. We

[quote who="GoodGame" reply="35" id="2487273"] Quoting vieuxchat, reply 3 You never owned any game. Even when you had a disk. And with impulse you can archive your game on a cd/DVD/whatever. (I don't know for steam or D2D) That's true, but what you're missing is that with a disk, you can reinstall at will (till the disk wears out). That's a problem if say you move to an area with poor (overpriced) internet access and sa

Reply to Quest type: World Quest in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="Valiant_Turtle" reply="2" id="2485256"]To be honest this seems to be pushing quests a bit too high up in importance for my comfort. This is fundamentally an empire building game with questing elements as one method to help build your empire. It should be entirely possible to completely ignore them if I want to . On the other hand, if I've invested heavily in Adventure techs I think I'd feel a bit cheated by a free-for-all quest that anyone can do.

Yep, cities should be separate in two kind : special ones and ordinary ones. the special ones would be able to get some kind of government or a chamber lik ein venice or a guild, things like that. But it would cost a limit independancy for them : you don't choose what you build, but what kind of things the city should focus on (like Warfare/civilization/etc..)

Reply to Elemental: Revisiting the Great Cities of (my) RPG Gaming in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I was thinking of something : there could be two kind of cities, ordinary and special ones. Tes "twist" is the special ones can only be built by someone ... special. Sovereign or heroes. Those special town would get access to things like political chambers, dynasties, special structures, buildings, etc. As a drawback those cities would get some limited independance : you don't choose what they build, but what path they want (civilization, warfare, exploration, etc...) and the hero/sov

Reply to Elemental: Christmas time Status Report in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Grogtank .. what is your point ? I don't understand what you would want about the research mechanism. I was just saying that the research system - for now - isn't like MoO1. The only ressemblance is the fact you can choose a "path" and not a tech to research. Now, I must say that it's fun to play with it (played a dozen games since the 0.262) ... but ... it still lacks something that would make it really different. It's still "techs".

[quote who="Grogtank" reply="31" id="2483920"] Also thanks to beta feedback, we came up with a different technology system that is, ironically, quite similar to what was in Master of Orion 1. This is an area that is proving a wealth of future fun for us as we prepare to create different technology pools for the different factions. Ok you have me. The quote above is enough for me to pre-order. MOO1 was truly a wonderful game. You could adjust points spent in research on on
