So what do you think would have been a better way of doing things? A more limited beta process do you think? Best regards, Steven.

Still, he is as human (as far as a frog can be human, anyways :P) as the rest of us. Occasionally he gets a little melancholy and protective. But I think the majority of people post on these forums because they care about Stardock, Frogboy and Elemental, and I think that is important too.

Well, I was a bit worried, but I'm not anymore, thanks to Stardock's dedication and Draginol's post in this thread. I think the final game will be excellent and will evolve too. [e digicons]:D[/e] I'd like to thank Frogboy and all the team for allowing us to be part of this process, and taking on board a lot of our ideas. Kudos, Gracious! (if I got that Mexican? word right ;-)) So, than

Reply to OUT OF MEMORY: WE NEED YOUR HELP! in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

How is the hunt going for the cause of the memory leaks, Frogboy? Do you think you will be able to fix it in time for the big final version/release? It is a game-breaking bug (and would probably seriously affect reviews) but I am 100% sure you already know that. Best regards, Steven.

Sounds a great way to have regular units have experience and still be able to merge stacks. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Best regards, Steven.

It may have to do with how quests often have a village or workshop that counts as part of your territory until you remove it. Maybe this happened and the game got confused. (Just a theory.) Best regards, Steven.

Reply to [Suggestion] Simple tactical magic system in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

You raise a very crucial balance point in the current Elemental. Summons need to be much more limited (and as a consequence, less costly). For example, in HOMM 2 and 3, summons last only the battle they are summoned in. Elementals that are bought last until they die, but elementals summoned in battle only last one battle (or less ;-)). But they can still be a decent power if the mana cost is right - as even for one battle being able to summon some badass units can stil

Reply to Elemental: We’re so excited! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I suggest that damage spells have a minimum amount of damage they do (a number or percentage of normal int damage) regardless of armor, so that they actually feel like they are worth casting. What do others think? Best regards, Steven.

Reply to Hmm, that's it? Really? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yes, it is a worry. Based on the current Beta 4 (0.98) the game is functional, without being fantastic, IMHO. And the reviews that the game gets are still very important, even if not all important. Even though I don't like to say it, after having enjoyed being part of the community since Beta 3, I just don't see the game getting more than average reviews, especially considering that 0.98 (or a) is awfully close to 1.0. I want this game to succeed, but IMHO the ga

Reply to Diplomatic Capital: Big Beta Tester Win! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="Kholai" reply="131" id="2697014"] This is one of the best (and longest) posts I've ever read. Especially the paragraph: Diplomacy can be equal to any other path if handled properly. If it's handled the same way it always has been in other games, with DC as just some pointless gimmick, it will remain irrelevant. It needs a mechanically viable means of harming other players, helping them, and a method of winning in its own way, with the resources associated with i
