Reply to Starcraft II Balance in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Early rush isn't the only Terran problem. Marauders need a rebalance due to overreliance and massing, not fun gameplay. Maybe a nerf in dmg and an equally large buff to stim? The player would have to choose roles between slowing debuff or additional damage until medivacs arrive on scene.

[quote who="Mumblefratz" reply="258" id="2580063"] Such systems can get by in Europe because they don't live unhealthy lifestyles on par as we do.The way that the French smoke and drink is hardly healthy. Without the fortuitous coincidence that red wine is good for you the French "lifestyle" wouldn't be noticeably "healthier" than that of the US.[/quote] It's all relative when doing comparisons. I'm not saying that this is the pinnacle of health, just that our bar

If you guys are serious about a socialized healthcare system then improving the overall American quality of health and life should be your top priority. Such systems can get by in Europe because they don't live unhealthy lifestyles on par as we do. -An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Reply to Building housing is so 2000... in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Why not have food as both bonus resources to be individually caravan transported and as a global resource? This way you offer some reward to the micromanaging players for creating and running an extremely efficient empire without making it a requirement for players who just want to play the game. Designing the game this way could also allow the AI to be more competitive without (hopefully) dumping more valuable company resources into better AI. Traditonally AI players in gam

Glass bunkers, hard counter oriented, illusions of choice (mules vs scan) have all contributed to damaging the hype around this game. SC2 has way too many serious problems right now.

Reply to Avoiding Late Game Tedium (LGT) in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Some parts of this complaint have already been addressed with the new surrender mechanic redrawing the fantasy battlespace. This also appears to have been theoretically addressed in Civ5's combat system but that is for another thread. By design, tbs 4X games are faulted to be late game tedious because they usually follow the norm strategy to crush the weaker or little guy. You claim his land, resources, ect and move to your next little guy target growing ever bigger with e

I'm very surprised that this discussion hasn't mentioned Battlenet2.0 yet. Want Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, next gen World of Warcraft? Then go through Battlenet 2.0 (beta). Point is the new players are in town and Impulse is being (unfairly) singled out for abuse.

*epic music* Legends whispered speak of The Rogue Captain . Who is the RC? Nobody knows but the tales of his deeds go far and wide throughout the world. Okay that was really really lame but it would be cool if Stardock would reward its players by adding their names to the random hero name generator.

The word Email (male) is so sexist. Proper terminology is EPERSON! I'm shocked shocked at the blatant display of typical male gamer sexist bigotry on this forum .

Reply to Player Input: Talents & Weaknesses in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

The funnest weakness/talent system I ever saw was in Fallout. Every weakness could be utilized as a strength under specific conditions. For example, the flower child would double the effects of all drugs but reduce the longevity by 50%. The one hander slinger gives your hero a glory hand but any activity involving 2 hands is an epic fail. You had to work around these and build accordingly to your stregnths so in the end your man would shine when played proper. It

Reply to Road Building…Your thoughts? in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Why not just do both? Have autoroads work very slowly while manually constructed ones will be fast due to player involvement. Losts of unanswered questions here. The problem is we still do not have any idea of what our roads should be like. I still say road traffic levels should be indicators of enemy presence if the enemy military is using one of your roads. Extra speed over initial stealth, a tradeoff.

But in Elemental the population = military. Will it be so easy to raze a city if a population can fight back? I suppose weapon control laws are a hot political issue in elemental. Historically kings kept the populace unarmed due to fear of rebellion and armies could completely trample over entire (defenseless) kingdoms. It would make a nice civ trait choice like egalitarian. Choose to raze cities and the populace will be forced to defend themselves afterward, fig

I got annoyed when playing Populous aka the god games. How could those sims have another super mega disaster every 60 secs or less and still not adapt technology to deal with it? That army reeling from Procipinee's shock and awe campaign is another example. "Doh!" or "How many times can we keep doing this?" Edit: Frogboy has my permission to use the shock and awe as an in game joke.
