Oooh, yum! Please, also: Essence could be spent on: (a) Reviving land to build cities on OR ( Turning people you found on the map into Champions (you would not have enough essence to do both well). You could marry and have children which would, if you were willing to hold off on using up your essence, result in more powerful children. You could use children to create alliances by betrothing them and this was the primary mechanism for winning via alli

Reply to Great game in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I concur. Just finished configuring a new gaming laptop for myself, and the first thing I wanted to do was iron man through a game of LH (plays like a rogue-like strategy game). This game ages like fine wine - it actually gets better over time. SD, you've really whittled this one down into a keeper. Well done!

[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="20" id="3430606"] wow, cardinaldirection, I had no idea someone actually did this. Sega rocks (diplomatically speaking). Does the UN know about the boards?

Reply to Other Space Strategy Games? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="17" id="3430367"] I've never played multi-player, and was not aware of the difficulties of playing with/against users that speak different languages. Seems to me the game makers should create a symbol based interface for multilayer games. Wouldn't that simulate different species who don't communicate well? Kinda like a symbol based pidgin, a basic trade/diplo language, "galact-lingo" using symbols rather than words. Then peopl

Reply to Heroine's Quest in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="rahal" reply="1" id="3430198"]Hero's Quest (as it was called before the copyright-spat-rename) was my first rpg [/quote] It was one of my firsts too, and I still find the series to be one of the best interactive experiences ever designed. You are going to love Heroine's Quest. It was released on the 25th, and I just happened upon it a couple days after: definitely my favorite Christmas present.

For any lovers of a good Adventure or RPG (especially fans of the Quest for Glory series), this was just released: Heroine's Quest It's free. Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok is an adventure / RPG hybrid. Like in many adventure games, you have a world to save, and must use your wit, guile and inventory to puzzle your way through. Like in many roleplaying games, you can

Reply to Ignore trolls at your own peril in Everything Else Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="3427567"]I was raised that taking the high road means ignoring trolls. That is a social rule that I think is worth keeping -- to a point. But there is a threshold, and I don't know where that threshold is, where you have to respond to it vigorously.[/quote] I too was raised to "turn the other cheek", but that went out the window as soon as others that I care about entered into the equation. Time and energy are precious, and n

[quote who="neone6" reply="5" id="3429230"] I guess that´s the cardinaldirection of future haircutting [/quote] ive been told it looks a bit military, or buddhist, but the procedure does leave a beard on my face equal in length to my super short hair, so i don't think it looks too off-putting. i feel friendly none-the-less.

Reply to ELEMENTALgames.org Wiki for Legendary Heroes is now live! in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Those numbers at the bottom of each page of the wiki are real, representing how many times a page has been downloaded (by a browser). These can be generally thought of as unique hits, while the same user accessing a page multiple times may not necessarily insinuate that their browser actually re-downloaded it. Every browser and user has different settings for when to "check for new version of pages". An edit to a page is definitely a hit, as the editor's browser will download

Maybe he will include them in a LH DLC. http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Tonight_f22fc3_2996458.jpg Carry on having fun, working hard, and doing right by your customers...
