[quote quoting="post"]Can we have the fog of war removed once an area has been explored like HOMM? At the very least, leave it clear and visible in the last state we saw it in like Civ. [/quote]I support the OP's "very least" option. I wouldn't want to see the removal of the Fog of War mechanic. But I'd like for the fog over explored_areas to not be so heavy.

Thanks for the status report, forum updates, and fixes Bara. In your plans to tweak the BBcode, have you considered adding tags for spoiler boxes, video embedding, tables and cells +? And will you allow for the missing {br /} ?

I remember M.U.L.E.! I didn't play it much. Mostly watched. I didn't know it at the time, but that stingy friend wasn't stingy afterall. He was however, afflicted with one more turn syndrome :~p That was back in the days when I took a BASIC programing intro in high school. That gave me portal to play Castle Wolfiestein and others, on a classroom Apple IIe. What an era that was!

It's tough to track down who started what. One author creates something which inspires another, who then writes something which inspires a third, who then writes something..

[quote who="pedroente" reply="28" id="2671854"]The game is beyond my wildest expectations so far... [/quote]Agreed! And on multiple levels. I've been looking for aspects of this game for a long time. From development philosophy to the mod tools and numerous things in between. Elemental fills the bill +. It's already more than I would've hoped for. Release day is just a beginning. Thanks Frogboy for giving up

I know. I've read through this thread in its entirety because I too was frustrated over the blasted booms and wanted to see what was going on. I saw that Stardock staff was aware of the problem and they reported that they were running down some leads while waiting for the fix it guy to come back from vacation. Clearly they acknowledged it. Then people started talking about the slow downs this weekend. I believe Jafo replied to that. [Read "accessing the f

Is nice you take fun days to tweak around with things just cause you can! I'm a fan of monster spawning. Would like to see different types of creatures on different terrain. Out of the mountains come the Rock Trolls and Stone Giants; Balrogs and Lava Sprites from the volcanoes; Sea Serpents and Kraken from the sea; Shades and Demon Frogs outta the swamps; etc. Some terrain of like types being more dangerous than others ( haunted forests, infested

LoL, I think I'd pass on Smurf Smut. Although a Smurf mod might actually be fun from time to time. The saturday afternoon version of happy blue Smurfs versus Smurfs gone wild. Red light districs and spring break parties for the hedonists; while parks and potlucks for the ascetics.

Elemental: War of Magic totally trumps my must get list! Civ5 was HUGE for me until steam ( and 2k ) completely killed it. Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 interest me, but I'd wait for the complete editions in the coming years. With Chess and Poker aside, one 4x TBS game + a multitude of mods, generally takes care of my gaming impulses. For the most part, I am a one title
