Reply to For those who have problems with DosBox in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Here's another guy working on it: http://www.roughseas.ca/momime/ He was doing great, sadly as with many of this porject RL and other intrest have brought it to a standstill at the moment. Still DOSbox really is worth figuring out if you get a front like D-Fend Reloaded or so, everyone should be able to do it with a bit of trial and error. Its worth the trouble for sure! I still fire up MoM from time to time, its still great but I'm very happy th

Duke Nukem Forever isn't coming out anymore... Sorry to break the bad news. [e digicons]:P[/e] Nah, just kidding! Great that you've found this community. Lots of likeminded cra ... people here. Its still a bit of a wait, but who knows, you might get in Aplha and I guess we'll all get in beta soon. Plus anticipation is half the fun! With some games its even more fun then the actualy game, gladly Stardock's title

Reply to Can't wait for this game... in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Really looking forward to the early Beta (almost alpha really) and see the game grow from there. Going to be a great experience I'm sure! I'm also a big MoM fan and played almost all turnbased fantasy 4x games that came out, still going to judge Elemantal on its own merits and not going to try and compare it to other titles. Its always ging to miss things that the other games did have and offer features that weren't in the old game. Still from looking at what we know now its g

[quote who="taltamir" reply="23" id="2192559"]speaking of mom, since elemental is supposedly a spiritual successor... how similar do you think it would be?[/quote] Its a turn based game set in a fantasy world where you build an empire and become a powerful wizard. Those things are somewhat similar, although the execution is quite different. Other then that there are a lot of differences between the games. I would not try and compare it to anything really, you might get dissapo

Reply to Too long without a dev update! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I would advice not set your sights to firm on a beta-zero date. I think its more important that they get the needed components in such a state that our feedback is usefull, instead of just pushing out the beta. Considering how "bendy" launchdates are (and rightly so imo, if its not finished don't release) I would not at all try and hold devs to a betatest date. Hopefully this time next year we'll all be here to enjoy the full launched game. A lot of time and ground to cover be

Reply to Video Status report in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Very nice indeed! Also have been pausing the video there. Great to see they are hard at work on Elemental! (They won't be jealous of the Demigod guys atm for sure :D ) Hope we'll also get some video updates for Elemental in the future!

I really enjoyed that! It was quite shocking though to discover that you are almost... like well you know... normal people... How do you manage to put out such great games?

Reply to Stardock, is this really your way to handle criticism? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Hey at least you got a reaction. Lot more then you would get form most companies. Now you didn't like the reaction, but hey watch out what you wish for eh? :D

Just ignore him... Stardock is proving they are hard at work. That says enough for itself!

Aye, they sure make me checking a few times a week to see or something new has arrived. Although RSS makes that quite easy! :) Keep up the good work!

Reply to Is EWOM a Simultaneous Turn base game? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Age of wonders did simultaneous turns as did Civ 4, for multiplayer it is almost needed I feel. While playing solo I prefer the classic system. Wonder or Elemental will include a PBEM system now that I think about it. Hmm...

Reply to Save/Load or Save/Continue ? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Having both options would be great. There are time when I play (watching the kids, busy with other stuff ect) that I want to be able to reload a silly move. On the other hand when able to really go for it and set aside time for the game its great to have an ironman feature. Still only the first ir really needed since you can simply not chose to reload a lost battle or bad move... you are that strong right? ;)

Reply to How will Elemental avoid repetition? in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I think that if Elemental manages to be so replayable as the Civilization series many many people will be very pleased. I know I will. If I start up a Civilization game today then I know that despite it having the same controls/elements it will be a whole other game/story that unfolds. With the random map options and the modding tools I've good hope Elemental will capture that same "magic" Still it will be a turnbased fantasy strategy game every time you play it...

Reply to Why does Elemental need a cool looking world? in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Awesome! The bringing a world to life is one of my favourite aspects of civilization/mom like games. Looking at what you're planning you're going to take it to the next level (Even a bit of Majesty influences there it seems) Now its that its you guys otherwise I would have huge doubts you could bring it all together. Now with the Stardock team I feel it might actually be possible! <p cl

Reply to Tentative Elemental Development Schedule in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Great! This is where I signed up for, to see a game from the early stages to its launch state. Although I've no doubt still big improvements will be made even after it is launched. Good to be a part of it! Bring on the not fun! :D

Reply to Elemental & Civilization 4 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Great to see that so much gaming / strategy goodness comes from Civilization! I love Civilization and if properly priced I might even rebuy it just to be done with all the cdrom hassle. (Although that's not something to encourage publisher to go and try for :) ) I really like the idea of being able to play a Civlization like fanatasy strategy game and pick some choice battles to take personal command!

Reply to Elemental: EARLY test of the engine in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I really like the art direction. Clear and leaves room for imagination. Still its all about the gameplay, but I guess that's somewhat hard to show off with a screenshot. Looking forward to the beta test!

Reply to What is your biggest hope/biggest fear regarding EWOM? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

My biggest hope is that it will do for the turn-based fantasy genre what Civilization 4 did for the turn-based global strategy genre. Revitalize it. Civ 4 was great on its own (also due the great expansion packs) but most of that came from the modability. That keeps people interested and the game fresh. My biggest fear is that is will have a bad launch and crumble before even Stardock can rush in with patches and fix things. Elemental needs a good sized community and therefore need

Reply to Primitive alphas and betas in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Looking forward to playing on the "cloth" map. I like the idea of starting there and seeing the game build upon that when it moves closer to launch. Since i've played games with ASCII I think i'll be fine anyway :)
