[quote who="Jarquafelmu" reply="1429" id="2710084"]I nominate this mod to receive the Eon Award for having the longest wait time in Sins and yet is still alive. Reduced 94% Original 256 x 468 [/quote] Actually, I believe that award may go to the Dawn of Victory mod, but this would still be #2. Either way, this is going to be an amazing mod when it does come out[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote]I think they would be making a mistake to do another project at this time. While you have a active interested audience, keep it active. It seems the turn around time for games is about three years, if they are working on a new game now thats a completion date around 2012. After a Sins 2 development, your talking 2015 release date. We will all have arthritis or carpel tunnel by then. [/quote] No, I agree with TFLBigBandTheory. It's a good thing they're working on something else.

Reply to What is best for Stardock? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Well money-wise buying it from Impulse is better for them (regardless of whether you buy just the digital copy or the boxed copy) because they get more of the money. When you buy it through retail or Amazon or whatever, that company gets a share of the $50 (or $70 for the Limited Edition). If you buy from Impulse, Stardock gets 100% of the profits. I don't know about getting more shelf-space, though.

[quote who="CreeDakota" reply="111" id="2709308"]I personally like the Ents as a playable faction with Treebeard as their channeller. Alot of the variables depend on the goal, the mod will look very different if the goal is to recreate the challenges and battles of the books versus using the lore to create random maps that will use LotR factions.

If you can't raise it far enough, select a different object, then go back to the original one, and the offset sliders will be reset, allowing you to raise it more. Just repeat that until it is tall enough. Just note, however, that if you ra

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="32" id="2708945"]The map editor allows you to save groups of tiles as a stamp. In theory, you could easily make 4 tiles that connect with each other to form your thing, save it as a stamp, and use the stamp in maps. Then just attach the same XML info for each of the 4 tiles, so no matter which one you step on, they all behave the same. [/quote] But do the stamps ever appear on the randomly generated maps? Right now the only stamp included with the ga

Reply to City snaking in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Wait, what? I thought they already changed that. A resource doesn't need to be touching your city in order for you to build on it, it just needs to be in your area of influence. The only "resources" that really requires snaking are beaches so you can build a harbor.

[quote]I'd strongly suggest you try out the Third Age mod for Medieval 2. Not because it is a great mod (which it is), but because of how they handled the same sort of story-line issues we are discussing. I enjoy playing that Mod up to a point then get bored with it, but they have done a good job balancing the realms of Middle Earth. And the settings are before the Fellowship of the Ring so they are dealing with the world rather than trying to squeeze the story into their game-play experience
