[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="22" id="2998191"]@rogue captain great idea s in link. Yes. Another aspect of this might be the 'limited/regional war.' The idea here is that a dispute over a specific area is happening. Both (all) parties agree to limit the conflict to that area. Total war actions allowed in that area, but no where else. How to define 'area?' Perhaps use the city in question as a source of borders emmenating f

Thank you for the feedback Steven & Elana. I posted this on the Elemental forums exclusively because I want Stardock to be the first to use it and Stardock to take credit for this inclusion to the strategy genre. If they don't some competitor eventually will and then they'll take all the credit .[e digicons]8C[/e] Brad stated he wants Elemental to be the top 4x game of the year. To do that it really helps to have some spe

The old border/culture dilemma. If I may shamelessly promote a former but original solution: https://forums.elementalgame.com/388453 This is a must have for 4x games! Why hasn't it been done already? GAME EVOLUTION DEMANDS IT!

[quote who="Sir_Linque" reply="61" id="2995236"]I thought about the name criminals too, but it really depends a lot on what kind of effects the non-worker non-farmer citizens cause and what kind of effects buildings have on them.[/quote] Rebel would be the next logical step up from criminal as now they are an active threat working against the state instead of a benign criminal one that produces nothing of value and lives off of the fruits of others.&n

CRIMINALS! I say criminals are better than rebels because then we have a legitimate excuse to make dungeons and what fantasy game would be without dungeons no? Plus rebels in fantasy plots too often are the heroes/lead characters unlike the sovereign. In game, think of contented happiness as affecting the crime rate.

Reply to Hey Derek you realize that AIR magic is overkill right? in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I always enjoy your threads BK even though I don't often agree with them and rarely post. Be warned this is going to be one of those walls of text. That aside, I have played a famous tbs game where Teleport was (mostly) successful and the lead is now employed at Stardock. Fall from Heaven 2 did have a city teleport system that was balanced because the game's tech trees were so very divergent, awfully expensive, and independent from eac

Reply to The Norwegian Massacre: Is it Christian Terrorism in Current Events Stardock Forums

Christianity is not so much a demographic as it is an idea. Key word here is idea. That idea is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ who was certainly not a violent terrorist but taught us to turn the other cheek. Obviously this man did not share that idea and it is safe to say that his actions are very unchristian.

Any details yet on how the terraforming spells will work? Specifically, will it be like Populous where you have to raise a mountain slowly level by level or will it be an instant one shot like WOM mountain raising? I can't remember the name of the quest spell.

Reply to For gamers fed up with paying for DLC in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Sc2 with Battlenet2.0 is a legit case. The graphical user interface was designed to promote the DLC maps to the top of the visible list at the expense of any easy access to the community maps. The result is a very frustrating experience despite any DLC has yet to be released with only a small handful of maps getting played and a very upset mod community. Only case where the DLC ruined it BEFORE it came out.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress- Magic in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Just wanted to point out an often overlooked but important detail. WMD spells do have some checks making them somewhat less effective and more strategic in this game by the way cities mechanics are laid out. Because each square is only a small part of a very large city, you'd have to destroy it piece by piece or resort to using a super spell like volcano. So every time I sink/raise the land I would only destroy X squares of buildings from the targeted ci

Reply to Just bought StarCraft 2.... in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I remember back in SC1 how scary invading the zerg beast seemed with my terran marines the first time. The buildings were giant organs, some beating hearts, others blood canals reaching from one stretch of the map to the other. It left this strange feeling of old SciFi movies such as Fantastic Voyage. Like being a microcosm insect inside a giant body and the body is fighting back with all it's defenses. So very alien. Now zerg are completely insectoid and the

There are plenty of population reductions mechanisms already implemented. Ever heard of BPA or Biphenol-A? You see those population control methods trickling down into the ecosystems of the animal kingdom causing considerable ecodamage to the planet. Ironic no?

I used to fix apple products among others and here's the raw deal. It may work fine now but once the machine gets substantial flood/water damage it is only a matter of time until it's fubar and Apple will know when you send it in. If the bag of rice to absorb moisture trick works well then I suggest you do it every night before you go to sleep to prolong the life out of it as much as possible.
