There was such mod for Morrowind. The naked persons wore some sort of underwear. However the only way you may see a naked person was to kill some NPC and took off her/his clothes. I found it disgusting even if I usually like to see a naked woman.
Well I am afraid in 4X game the size of the kingdom allways matters. You can see that in real life too. If the USA, China or SU attacks somebody, other states in the world protest but never do anything. Why? Because they are huge. And because they are huge, they are strong.
[quote]ust because a civ has iron doesn't mean he'll rush you with swordsmen.[/quote] Well, this system actually allows it. You just have not to buy some lesser spell and wait for the shard. Then release your mana and you have a powerful spell.
Well, I don't like this system. You can choose from all spells, that actually means: in all games the player will have the same or nearly the same spells. Perhaps on a small map the shards can randomize it a bit (missing color of the shards), but on big maps the shards won't limit it at all. So the player allways chooses his favourit (= strongest) spell. Fragile allegiance was similar and I disliked the system. I hoped the spell research would be somewhat dependent on the gene
Indeed! The picture would be nice!
[quote who="VivaGabe" reply="19" id="2501960"]I think a cool idea for a victory condition would be to complete a luxurious palace. Pieces and artifacts can be spread throughout the map that can be used to complete the palace. Just a thought.[/quote] This would not work. If all factions would try this quest, you will not be able to achieve it, unless you conquer them all. And this type of victory is already in the game.
Well, I think it would be good, if also general units may explore the dungeons. Think about that: - We found an underground labyrinth, sir. - Good! Send someone to explore it! - Well, but sir, it may be dangerous. - The labyrinths are allways dangerous. Find someone, that is clever enough to survive it . - But sir, no one in our army can... Some hero, perhaps, but.... And there may be pits and traps and monsters! - How dare are you servant! Send
[quote]They are obvious, so you should be able to correct them[/quote] You are right, but it would be better, if you are more specific the next time and more polite too. Some of us are not native English speakers. So even if someone is as brilliant as I am, he/she may have problems with the spelling or the syntax.
Mass effect is a great game indeed. I hope the ME2 will be as good as the first one. The only think I did not like on that game were instant crashes, when I moved from a location to location. The game was unplayable at the beginning, but after second patch (it was available two years after it was released in my country) it turned to be stable and great.
Well in Baldur's gate or NWN 1 one color of your equipment was customizable. You can change this color (there is an apply color item in the game) and as a result the important part of the item changes the color (some color on the texture is replaced by the customized color, while the other parts remain as they were (jewellery etc.)).
Caping the amount of units (hard-coded value) is not a good idea. The hard cap defines the strategy to "build only the strongest units". However, there is a limit the hardware can handle (and let us not forget the player, he can handle even less than the hardware). In GC2 there was no cap on planet population, but the planets with huge population were problematic. It worked just fine. I think it shall be the similar in the Elemental logistics: do you have too many units on the sin
I would like to see a possibility to build a statue or a monument to victorious hero after some quests. I loved this in Baldur's gate 2. Such monument would be a part of the city city. The small monument/statue would bring (one ore more of the things randomly selected): increase in the happiness in the city, increase in prestige, increase the income. The small monument takes one tile and cost money and perhaps some other resources (stone). The large monument should have higher bon
Well, you may queue the buildings. So it is not as terrible as you think. But if you assign their production, you can not change theirs order. But I don't afraid. It is so obvious it will be changed.
One more quest/event: ruler / hero / heir asassination. An asassin (or a group of asassins) sucessfully snaked around the army and attacks your hero/channeler/heir. The battle will be fought. Only heroes and/or channeler and/or heir engage the combat even if it they are surrounded by an army. It may be nice, if you can hire someone to do it to your enemy from time to time.
red1939: good post, but be careful with the limits. "Complete the mission in no more than turns!" is a bad thing. The time limit suffitient on a tiny map may not be suffitient in the case of huge maps. Even if you are strong enough, your units may simply not be fast enough to reach the target location, because on the small map it was six squares from you, but 200 squares on the big map. The same reason there shall not be "turn limit" for start of the quest. You si
Quest: Research technology XY! The technology may or may not be in the general tree and may or may not be useful for the game. Typical use can be seen in Master of Orion - find a cure for a disease, the sun is going to become a supernova, unless you don't spend enough research points. Something like that with the magic. Example of non useful technology: you have met an old man with a pointy hat. He promised to give to you his magical staff, if you invent "remember what I had for lunch
O, my lord, a terrible dragon is in the mountains. He demands you daughter. - This is dire news indeed. Let us hire some adventures, that would kill him. (- gold, +/- prestige, if the company does (not) succeed) - Let us give him the daughter. She is quarrelsome (+ prestige, dragon/demon disappears) - How dare, I will kill him myself (dragon becomes neutral unit that attacks on sight, if killed +prestige and the loot) - Let us give the dragon something else (gold, resourc
I like the idea of traits and weaknesses, but I dislike the suggested DND-like attributies (strength, IQ...). They work very well in DND, because all creatures and NPCs have them. In Elemental however no unit has them. So why the channeler? He shall have the same attributies as all other units + some traits, bonuses etc, that are special to channelers and heroes.
- don't see the possibility the channeler with some special "property" can grant a skill to units he accompanies: eg. - lesser swimming - the ability to pass water as if the unit was on a ship. If the unit is attacked, it is considered to be dead (drown) - swimming - the same as above, but units can fight - flying - units are considered to by "flying" - resistence of type - various resistences to spells and spell like effects - element mastery - t
My channeler got stuck in one place. He stopped moving. He is selectable by clicking on him, but his actual position is supposed to be in the middle of his vision area. Unfortunately I cannot add the savegame, because due to the delete game bug I am not able save the game at all.

I have this issue: If I have the main menu opened and open other window (e.g. main menu and load dialogue), the parts of the dialogue, that shall remain hidden is shown. The same behavior is in settings and save game. Video card NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX, OS WinXP </
I have already reported it before in some thread too.
I have this issue too = A las, I cannot save at all!
[quote]An estate that only houses 2 citizens?[/quote] I think this number is good. The number of people in the city is the usable workforce. There are servants and some support personel in the mantion, but they are employed there and so you can not use them for other purposes.
There is one more good question: what is the prestige good for? At this moment the high prestige has no value. It increases the speed people move to the city, but this number is very limited anyway. However, the overall prestige is the good candidate to influence the diplomacy. One more idea: cities have the level. What if the housing at 1-st level may accomodate 10 people, at 2-nd level fifteen people etc. If you want to achieve the next level, you should allway
