There are also a number of excellent mods which totally change the game, such as fall from heaven and rhys and fall, which further extend the replayability.

It is in closed beta. The latest patch offered some fairly radical gameplay changes. The FINAL version f the game will be single player with the optional subscription online component. To best test all the features it makes sense to betatest the online planet offer to test the game and the server at the same time.

One aspect of games I have never been fond of is an opposing nation going *poof* when defeated. Perhaps instead some units/cities fall under your control, and others may attempt to join other nations, still fight for their cause, or splinter off into their own sovergn state, all depending on how the conquored nation was taken over, how it wasdeveloped, relations with other nations, etc.

False positives are not that rare with antivirus applications. Read up on the difference between type 1 and type 2 statistical errors, hopefully that may put some lights on the situation.

Reply to Importance of Making Tradeoffs in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Ilumino" reply="1" id="1928698"] I would imagine that when the modding community gets rolling, within months of release, games will have literally hundreds, if not thousands of race choices, spell paths, and unit types. Players will probably resort to choosing a "favorite" game style, because there will be so many options. It's unlikely any one player will duplicate what another player has, given all of the choices he will have in front of him. [/quote]

You can move a lot of things in windows if you know where to look (more easy in linux, alas we're not a big enough market for Stardock =p). You can move yoru My Documents folder to another location or drive. Right click on My Documents on dthe desktop, select properties, click the move button and select a new folder. You can install new programs to another drive if you wish. the defaults can be changed using some programs like TweakUI.

GPG did something interesting with their standalone expansions which is another possibility to explore. Owners of the stand alone were only able to play the new faction online, and had a small sp campaign with some new units. The advantage was that those who owned just vanilla sup-com can still play with those with the expansion, or those with both. Something similar can could also be done with sins, where once or twice a year an stand alone expansion comes out which expands the gam

I think part of it is that when anyone sees two games with spaceships they think they are the same. It is like that with science fiction in general with a lot of people. Put on any show in space with aliens and people think it is Star Trek.

There are Red, Orange, Yellow, White and Blue stars. This is based on their temperature from cold to hot. There are also brown dwarfs which are "failed" stars that did not get enough mass to emit light of their own, but can still have planatary systems around them

From a science point of view, you can only get the colours being emitted by that star. Res stars only put out red light so you shoudl only see red. Yellow on up output all colors. What colors you see are based on if it is an absorption or emission nebula (a nebula can be either, it depends on gas temperature and location of stars). You wont ever have green stars because stars are black body emitters. You would get a white star instead. Sorry I can't be more specific, I am in class.
