Damnit, you beat me to it! I guess I can add that not only does it say in the screenshot that it's a comparison between Elemental and Civ IV maps, but it also says so in the file name.

Deep breaths, people.  I know not everything I say is lucid.

Your sarcasm makes me feel violent.  Also I added the second s/s as a quick edit to my original post.  Thanks for playing.

I don't even have energy drink

Ugggghhhhh. Caffine..... can't stand the stuff. Even the smell of coffee gives me a headache.......

Thanks man!........wait a sec, you're trying to kill me!

I don't know which is worse!

I was thinking Reb Bull might be necessary to get through the huge maps on 64 bit OS within a few years.

Talking about forests I wonder if there will be a type of hero like robin hood. A guy just keeps to the forest without any loyalty ties and just keeps embusing everybody wagon trains

I remember seeing those maps a while back and now that I see the huge one I got that fuzzy feeling all over again.

Gosh can,t wait to try this out.

I would want an event (especially for evil channelers) where a robinhood type figure shows up and steals from caravans and evil heroes (which makes it different from a regular bandit, which would only steal from caravans, not being badass enough to steal from a hero)

I would actually like 'events' like that. It would fit in very nicely with Brad's description of Elemental taking place in a sort of D&D world where you're the leader of one of the empires that have to deal with those pesky adventurers. Adventurers and heroes showing up and behaving contextually would be really neat

In Landisaurus's example, that robinhood-type figure could then be recruited by a neighboring, benevolent channeler who is in conflict with the evil one.
