Reply to Uses of Magic in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I wonder if it could be a good idea to combine different spells and get a distinct effect? Let's say I have a "convert terrain to farmland" spell and a "let it rain for increased food production spell". By using both spells at once on the same spot, one could get some muddy wetland, which hinders a pursuing enemy unit to follow you. Hm, if I rethink it: There are supposed to be around 200 spells in the vanilla game... Ok, this would be one or the other permutation... I guess,

Reply to Why should I get Entrench? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I personally think that Entrenchment is great. 10$ is IMHO actually ridiculous for such an expansion. For me, it gave Sins exactly what I have been missing in the Vanilla version. As Annatar pointed out, entrenchment does not hinder you playing with people who don't have it. Concerning stability: No probs on my side so far!

[quote who="SmiteMeister" reply="5" id="2105797"]Actually hiddenrabbit has a good idea Thats one of the features that i loved the most about the wonderful game Alpha Centauri. Certain features where on the randonly generated map f.x. The Saragossa Sea etc. Certain tecs opened up more of the backgrouund story. Its kinda like the sandboxy feel of the diablo games (f.x. the butcher) where you either looked forward to discovering certain familiar places or feared and prepared for them.

@ Sancus: As far as I know there will be little creator programs for the users shipped with the game. Of course your options increase drastically if you have access to maya or other programs. But as most players won't have them, there are going to be other means. Have you played galcivII (there was a ship creator with tons of precreated modules. You could change the size or the orientation. The huge variety of modules made it pretty awesome)? I guess, this is the general direction w

[quote]What Karma? According to the site where I'm from, you have exactly 0. [/quote] It depends from which site you are checking this post. The stardock forums are interconnected and many posts can be seen from multiple sites. I am posting from the elemental forum. If you are checking the same post from another forum, you will see the Karma displayed people have collected there.

*looking around* Oookaayyy...One or the other flower blooming... bugs buzzing... the beta would be fine for me... But seriously: I'd be surprised if they have the time to start beta testing. Stardock and GPG will be busy preparing demigod for launch...

Perhaps I am wrong, however, I had the impression, that impulse works differentially.It simply checks, what files are missing to get you to the latest version. Donwgrading is not really possible. Thus, there are no real patches. The only thing you can do is to install from the dvd (if you have it), which comes with version 1.05.

Reply to Elemental: Community Support Part I in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Hm, I wonder how this game will evolve... I guess, it depends a lot on how user friendly the modding tools are. Can someone, who has never modded before, have an easy start with it and change the game to a total new one? Perhaps even without looking at code at all? This would be a daring task... And a fitting achievement for stardock as I learned to know it. It would end up in having creator programs for everything: Units, houses, cloth, plants, beasts... Even rules for the game mecha

Hey, man... There is not much you can do. You helped those guys and that's all that counts. So your boss is an ass... Happens now and then, don't let it bring you down. Instead of running away, you had the courage to take action and help the people who needed it. That's sth to be proud of. You don't really need a "rescue diploma" or a medal or whatever to show off. About the resigning stuff: Wouldn't do it if you don't have a good offer. Might be difficult to find a ne

Huh, sounds as if you are in quite a mess. Just to le me get this straight: " You have invested heavily in fleet upgrade and now the supply costs are killing you if you can't keep the planets you are loosing now, right? I don't know. Sounds to me as if your only option left is to go with everything you've got to their home planets. They will bring their fleets back to defend them, which should ease the pressure on your border planets. Basically, this is your end game sc

Reply to Elemental beta in spring? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think Stardock's beta process is a very clever move. The developers directly get feedback from some players and the players have the chance to contribute. If I understood correctly (according to the bits and peaces of information scattered around on this forum...), we'll get only the table cloth to play around with in the first beta. Yeah, the beta definitaly won't be a nearly finished product. I like the idea of being directly involved in the development process.

Elemental beta in spring? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Hello everyone! Just one question: So far I thought the elemental beta is going to start sometime in june/ july. However, I found this on the SoaSE forum: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/?aid=342572 Frogboy is talking about the final stages of the Demigod beta and how the betas are supposed to work (or not). In this post, he mentiones that the Elemental beta is going to be this spring... Did I miss sth? Do you have any further knowle
