[quote who="Linthar" reply="49" id="2375265"] Quoting AlRokerSurprise, reply 46My beta will not show up under my Games list. It is under the Registration list, but it won't appear anywhere where I can download it . In impulse click on the button on the top left. It should bring up a panel with a checkbox saying show pre-release versions. Check the box and you will be able to download the beta.[/quote]And one karma for you. :D

SO now I am confused. Soe people seem to be testing already. Is there something we need to do? Will we get an email when we can download our beta or is there something I am completely missing?

[quote who="mrakomo" reply="29" id="2364764"]Very good system was in Sid Meyer's Colonization*). You needed a transport (a wagon or a ship) unit if you wanted to transport wares. It was possible to attack the unit and get the goods. If you wanted to cut suply lines of the enemy, you had to hunt theese units. I am not sure however, whether this system would be good in Elemental too: 1) in Colonization the number of wares was fixed from the beginning to the end of the game <br /

The`movie I downloaded was the one shown earlier, the early alpha version. That is what the 'PAX trailer' that can be found on gamershell is, an old video. False alarm I guess.

Reply to More lighting stuff in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Soft 75 has the nicest colors imo. The other ones look a bit too harsh as if the grass does not grow that well and the river contains water that you better stay away from. Soft 75 does not have this look, yet I feel it could use more bright colors. There is not really anything wrong with the colors as they are in the first pic, it is just that they could use a bit more warmer colors. I like the sharper lines in the no HDR picture. The HDR ones seem a touch too blurry. The sharper line

Reply to Anyone else think its a mistake to let the game end when your wizard dies? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="40" id="1933359"]The beta testers will be making the final call on this. But my opinion is that if they die, that's it. [/quote]This is what I prefer as well. In Cvi IV I hated that you had to mop up all the opposition in order to win as it easely became a chore to win. I liked MoM in the sense that you could just focus on the enemy wizard to win. If the AI cannot even defend his most powerful city he deserves to lose, right? As long a

[quote who="Hortz" reply="3" id="2354991"] Quoting kyogre12, reply 1 Because when a game hasn't even entered beta, the way the game looks is obviously finalized and not subject to change at all. It's not like they're still working on it or anything. I mean, there's only a year until it's released, the game should be pratically finished by now! Stop faking the argument, there are many elements there are finished b

Reply to Unclean Beast to powerful? in Demigod Demigod Forums

The UB needs to be powerful because he cannot surprise any one. There are several Dgs that can surprise you and then pick up the kill. The UB can just get in your face and survice long enough to slay you where you stand. Given the fact that this is the UBs role I am surprised to see that UBs power is used as an excuse as to why he should be nerved. If you see an UB, just run. Take the spit damage if you must, but run! Fighting it out toe-to-toe with one of the strongest melee DGs is a

You can possibly mod this, and the sandbox mode may very well be such that you need not play with any 'fallen' if you do not want to.

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="87" id="2347286"]Hmmm.... we'll just have to wait and see.... if this is done well it could be a lot of fun, but if the balance is off or the RNG is too overpowered, we could have a lot of save-reloading on our hands.....

[quote who="landisaurus" reply="2" id="2345266"]It has been stated that the research system should be very different from GalCiv 2 in that there are no "Super swords" or anything of the sort that might require a new unit to be designed. Once you have the "broadsword" unlocked, you get units with broadswards. And if you upgrade to a better broadsword tech, all units are automatically upgraded, or upgraded as soon as a shipment arrives to them (if they are already trained and it tu

Reply to Nerf flag locks a little in Demigod Demigod Forums

I had it done to me before in a custom game. In that game I was defending like mad until finally I had to give in. That game however we were so pushed back that claiming the lock was the final push was a bit stretched since the team was not in a good shape before the lock. Come to think of it, I saw many games where the team that was in trouble lost after a portal lock. Then again those teams lost anyway. I think if you are winning and your portal gets locked you can just slaughter a

Venting your frustration somewhere is fair enough, yet some of the comments are not nessecarely (sp?) so. We can for example not see what financial situation companies are in, therefore we cannot be the judge on what those companies need to do. If a company has to choose between fixing demigod while going bankrupt or creating new games that will generate mor emoney then every CEO will go for the money option. No one will let the company go bankrupt on a matter of principle. Even
