[quote]2. How do you paste a picture into the forum test? Tried to "paste" from Paint program but the "paste" selection is grayed out.[/quote] You can't, it needs to be hosted elsewhere and linked in using the image button (next to the hyperlink button).
Champions are pretty cool - they can level, be equipped in your towns, you can marry one of them, and come with special abilities which are quite nice (merchants and inventors especially right now since only CIV and War are in). Theoretically once Magic is in, they'll also be able to be imbued with essence to cast spells. There are a couple of issues with them I've noticed so far, lets run down the list: Recruiting : T
Took an opportunity to play some (couple of hours... maybe more :D) Beta2 today. The tech system seems to be more or less what it was in Beta1Z. However there is at least one important change which should be applauded, namely: You can breakthrough more than 6 technologies! Maybe this has always been the case and there just weren't enough techs to make it happen, but that has neatly removed the problem of stealing green techs away from the player This
Pop on over to the Elemental Ideas subforum and take a look at some of the threads on tech system stuff. Weigh in on the ideas being floated, throw in some of your own and lets get it done. I think we need more minds taking a good hard look at this particular part of the game.
[quote who="PyroMancer2k" reply="5" id="2648789"]On the what to research front I do have a question for the Devs. I know some R&D doesn't show up till later and some techs don't show up until you research ones before them. But are any of the techs restricted by the tech level? The reason is I find market places (the 2x2 +6 Gildar building) is one of the most important buildings to get up first and trying to figure out how to unlock it faster. I've figured out some i

I have duplicated an image of a character (Rilis), when I changed equipment and then moved. The duplicated image is the correctly equipped character, and the image which is where the character actually is, is the old equipment.
Crash at end of turn. Dump file may or may not be the right one, since the timestamp seems off. Dump
Have no idea what triggered it, hit the end-turn button I think? Not certain. Anyways, crashdump is here .
Turn button gets stuck. Save linked (Dropbox). Save
[quote]If you alt-tab out of the game and then come back in you get a Fatal Error - DX Error and then the game crashes to desk-top.[/quote] Also encountered this. It does not appear to generate a crash-dump file to link.

Both sites are the same company and share the same database, so you will only get credit for one or the other. So you'll continue getting points for posting on multiple wishlists? I kinda figured you'd only allow one site per person since you can game the system by just goin

Light/Dark, what does it matter. The important part is the features :P
[quote]Two points. First, your original post included "If Stardock thinks they have a winner in Reactor/Impulse, they stand to gain much more by competing with steam for DD share." SD is currently competing with steam for DD share, and since you're arguing for SD to do something different, and given the topic of this thread, I did take you to be saying SD should put Elemental on steam or something similar. Your original post doesn't make sense to me otherwise (and still doesn't -
I'm not contending the hyperbolic, I'll do better on that, but hyperbole is fun so I make no promises [e digicons]:D[/e] You don't like the hyperbole, hence the shaming language - but now you've got me annoyed and committed so here goes :P. What I'm contending is: Near as I can tell, you're saying that you read me as saying that my preference is that Stardock put Elemental on the steam marketplace - which I do not. From where I'm sitting, I read
[quote who="Nick-Danger" reply="31" id="2645692"] So not putting Elemental on Steam is giving up without even trying? That is the fallacious argument 'False Choice' -- it presents only 2 choices: -the choice you favor -a ridiculous choice that it total failure ...and presents the situation as an either/or, ignoring that there's a whole lot of other, reasonable options. Shame on you Sir for presenting such a biased and f
Your googling skills work just fine. Yes, Fall From Heaven for Civ4:BTS. There are also a plethora of mod-mods as well.
Do you want feedback on the technology system? Clarification: Will you entertain suggestions about how to use the randomness in the technology system, or are we committed to the 5 mini-tech trees with indeterminate endings?
Ja, I've got a dead rat in there for the Kitty-pic I was teasing AzrealX w/
[quote who="larrypeters" reply="20" id="2645375"] Quoting Sareln, reply 19There's an XML tag called "occurrence" which is doing exactly that. Each technology has a rarity and an occurrence. Rarity informs what color it is once you've researched its prerequisites. Occurrence determines whether or not it's in the game. That's sweet. Btw, did you mean "AppearanceChange"? I don't see an occurrence tag. Man I really want to mess a
For an interesting take on this sort of spell, see the Chaos line of magic from the FfH Mod. I think most of the mutations there are good, though there are some that offer tradeoffs like you mentioned.
[quote](If we do it tomorrow).[/quote] Good base covering there.
I think they've limited themselves to a 1024 x 1024 minimum resolutions, so this'll be tough. At the same time, great for bringing up something that we're oft prone to forgetting about. [e digicons]k1[/e]
