[quote]Only difference between Mac and PC is OS and most (if not all) developers would find developing for Mac way easier due to Apple's "closed eco system" - meaning less bugs, less time waste optimising your game for trillion possible PC configurations, more stable final product and ultimately smoother end-user experience...[/quote] Macs don't have DirectX, I believe they use OpenCL (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), so it's not like you can just put steam on th
[quote who="KillzEmAllGod" reply="97" id="2568665"]could get the pirated demo where you only can play ai kinda lame since the ai is dumb as all hell.[/quote] Well I've looked around and decided getting a launcher probably wasn't worth the chance of a virus
Anyone willing to give a poor betaless soul a key? :(
[quote who="Haree78" reply="6" id="2566577"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 5No card game in development. We just like the concept of info cards. Sins has info cards too. We just decided in Elemental to spruce them up cosmetically. Personally I think it works extremely well.[/quote] Indeed, reminds me a bit of Magic the Gathering
1) Anyway to increase food production in towns that aren't next to fertile land? 2) Anyway to get around mountains (or go through them)? I seem to be starting out with water to the North/South and mountains to the East/West and thus can't expand any further or meet other factions
Oh wow can't wait, it's been awhile since I've read a good fantasy novel [e digicons]:D[/e] Or played good 4X game (Granted, I still play GCII lol) Also article on Kotaku: http://kotaku.com/5482797/random-house-wants-to-write-video-game-stories
Dunno if this has been mentioned yet but what if there was an Achilles heel weakness? Meaning that units attacking your Sovereign have like an extra 5% chance to score a critical hit
[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="17" id="2543923"]I registered and created my beta profile. Two days and no key yet I'm getting worried.[/quote] Blizzard says that thousands of gamers are getting keys. So assume that's 5000 (we have no idea what it really is) Assume 1 million accounts signed up. That's a 1/200 chance of getting in. My numbers are probably way off but you get the point
Frogboy, care to clarify for me? In the final battle, were the humans on Kir-Tion's side or their own? And is Curgen "evil" and Kir-Tion "good" or are they both "bad" or what? :P Also are the immortals not immortal in the sense that they can die in combat? (like the sovereigns in elemental)
Do the fallen more or less like each other or is each faction (fallen and human) at war with every other faction
I'm not really how I feel about GPG anymore :| I'll make up my mind next month when Supcom 2 comes out
Hey that Tarthan looks like the woman in the dynasty example video! :O
[quote]Me too. And the Sins update[/quote] If I had to guess I'd say a little bit of post release balance or bug fixes :P
I'm pretty curious about what the impulse update is too :P Though yay 1G!! And isn't new lore info coming out tomorrow?
They aren't in the beta yet :P
I don't have a twitter account :( And I own it all already :( Might as well give it to someone who doesn't own it lol :P
It might be a little late for an announcement, but who knows [e digicons]:'([/e]
Looks to be part of the real time battles. It could be a concept render, but who knows [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
No, you must wait untill beta 2 opens (so preordering now will get you beta access once beta 2 opens)
Well since it uses a Mac OS, I doubt it And it'd probably have to be distributed through itunes too or something stupid. Nice idea, but probably not Also, it's really just an XLL itouch... I don't see a feasable use for one. They seem like they're going to break easy
Rumor has it that the LE of Elemental will have an extended manual that will be 200 pages... so is alot of that exerpts from the novel? Or is the entire novel included? If it's not I'll get the novel as soon as it comes out :3
[quote] Of The Fallen When the powers strove for dominance before the cataclysm, some felt that men were too random and too unpredictable to be of use to them. Some of these powers selected men of cunning, brutality and might. They created an “improved” or “idealized” version of men that came to be known as the Fallen. The Fallen are stronger, faster and more lethal in
[quote who="MatBerryman2" reply="1" id="2515764"]So effectively there are more than two races but only 2 species? [/quote] Right. If you've taken biology, different species can't reproduce (well can't produce offspring that can reproduce) Thus the only things you shouldn't be able to mate with are dragons. Everything else should be fair game
