Nothing worse than to depend on code mercy for your own mod and I have an idea that I really need to flesh out in this game. Out of curiosity, could Elemental (potentially) be modded to be some kind of Society? Something like creating the new Colonization out of Civ IV (

Stop making games for good*. Maybe then some "people" will learn of their "mistakes". Some people only value things once they have lost them. But that means that as always the innocent have to suffer because of the guilty... so don't stop making games for good UNTIL AFTER Elemental is done and patched, ok?

[quote who="Denryu" reply="21" id="2171802"]They have about 5 weeks to get beta-0, started (their front page says BY June, which to me means June 1). [/quote]Stardock would be a bad publisher if they didn't pay the proper attention to the recently released Demigod. So if they need to delay the Elemental beta, they'll delay it with no doubt. Also, the same as the release date of Elemental (Feb 2010) is just an intention, the June mark is just a good intention hoping to become reality

Reply to My Brute, Browser-based violence for your work day in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I'm not scaring anyone, just pointing out details that some people prefer not to mention (not saying that it's with malicious intention tough). Considering how absolutely random the game is and how unbalanced it becomes just from moment one... well, not a good game but surely good some laughs (which is the intention I suppose). For the record, I play in the spanish version so it's not like I'm against the game.[e digicons]:P[/e]

Reply to Clean up that GOO! in Everything Else Elemental Forums

Ok, seriously, someone explain this to me. Except for Elemental that will be used as a "show" for the other companies (and it won't use the "DRM" part but the one that allows you to sell your license if my memory doesn't betray me), Stardock isn't going to use GOO (except, maybe, again for that part of reselling the game's license). Or maybe my memory is wrong or I don't correctly remember what has been said in these forums not so long ago. Maybe Stardock should annoy people using the DRM tha

Campaigns only work for some type of games. I don't see Demigod being of that type... I mean, the Demigods just play a tournament to decide who will become a God, right? Sins of a Solar Empire could use a campaign (more or less) but Demigod...[e digicons]o_O[/e]

Reply to Science and God (One and the same?) in Everything Else Elemental Forums

Why should anyone care if God (why should we believe "God" is the true one? Why not the kami? Or Titania? Or Chtulhu? Or...?) exists or no? More precisely, why should anyone try to stomp their ideas into the rest of the population like if they were pure truth in a can? People should be more worried about being able to get along with other people, specially with people that thinks different (as long as that "different" isn't a "let's kill/destroy/dominate anyone who doesn't agree with us"...

Reply to Story Generator in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

If the game was playable in a window (or alt-tab friendly), I could use any text editor. If it was or even if it wasn't, I would be able to use pen and paper too. Or just my memory (altough in my case it's of selective nature which isn't very good). But if it's not a lot of trouble, I would prefer an in-game tool that allows me to record details in a text form: be it events or just some kind of diary (or just to write a note to myself for the next time I continue that game). Not that I w

Reply to Story Generator in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

BoogieBac, could you consider to add a "notepad" to the game? So I can open it and add whatever information I need to record. And that whenever an event (popup/window/message/globe) appears, it has a button that adds the relevant text of that event to the "notepad". The text file for that game's "notepad" could be edited in and out of the game so the player can add and/or delete as needed. Also, make sure that Elemental comes by default with a clock so we can know when is too late to
