Reply to Ggrrr them Pirates be Pirating...already? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Here's a completely different take on (new) DRM and piracy. DRMs latest shenanigans is to prevent reselling by providing game content only available through online distribution. If you bought a resold game then you lose out on the bonus content or buy it seperately. Too many retailers like Gamestop and Ebay have munched into software developer profits. Of course the resale business may never have taken off if it weren't for console systems.

Can we (maybe) look forward to another chat session after release? Better ask my question now then. What wanted features didn't find their way into Elemental?

The majority of starship sims only provide tiny to small sized ships for players to pilot. Others like StarTrek pair you up against equally big ships so any semblance of size goes right out the window.

So if I buy the 32 bit (retail) version on opening day, then does that mean the 64 bit will come in the mail later or Impluse only?

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="24" id="2713193"]I've played Elemental in multiplayer. And at the risk of hurting sales, I'll tell you that I don't find it fun. I can think of ways it might be made to be fun in the future but it will require making it quite a bit different from the single player game. Some things that are fun single player are just painful in MP. So I'll say it up front: If you're buying Elemental mainly for MP, you're going to be disappoin

Reply to [Suggestion] Cease Fire vrs Peace Treaty: Reducing Tedium in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Previously, in Galactic Civilizations 2 Dark Avatar Stardock introduced the (much hated) Jagged Knife mega event to service players who prefer quiet, peaceful, calm Hindu cow buildups for the win. Why? Because it can be tediously boring and for worse cheesy. Even Frogboy has posted the inclusion of new beta barbarian aggressiveness to excite the gameplay. Peacetime definitely needs a "gray area" level so mechanics like Jagged Knife are unnecessary. <

Thanks, glad you guys like my presentation. I probably should have picked a catchier title for more clicks. [e digicons]X|[/e] Frogboy stated he wanted end game to show how the world has been changed to a restored state and this will be one more way. Now the world has been made safe while before it was barbaric. Even nations preyed on each other over the countryside in ancient human history. The whole "Such activity may not benefit diploma

[Suggestion] Cease Fire vrs Peace Treaty: Reducing Tedium in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Objective : To make elemental more exciting by adding one new adjustment to diplomacy relation options during peacetime. Reason : Relations between nations in most 4x games basically boils down to big surges of war and peace, but what if we had something in between during peacetime to make the game more exciting? Micro conflicts between states within set restrictions will reduce early and late game tedium. As a side effect it will also add t

Guys one of the primary reasons why hemp is illegal is because it competes with the timber industry over specific products like paper, not because of some religious polling.

Bioware has a history of supporting the mod community more than other companies so I'll give them a thumbs up. However, too many Bioware games suffer from same story, different setting syndrome.

I can see this anti-piracy as the birth of a new industry. It will be so profitable that media companies will abuse their privileges and make it targeted easy to pirate purely for the sake of suing you. I'll make sure to let everyone know that President Obama will not tolerate piracy.

There are different levels of victory. If I had a victorious but insufficient force to occupy a city then other options like resource raids and attacks of attrition become more attractive. One builds up your stockade while the other focuses on disruption.
