Unfortunately, there won’t be a moddable DLL for War of Magic or Fallen Enchantress. It’s something we’ve wanted to do, but there aren’t the resources for it right now. The engineers have been busy working on implementing Derek’s new vision for FE and helping to improve WoM in recent patches. As Brad has talked about elsewhere, we’re currently hiring new developers to help out, but the priority for who

Fallen Enchantress is a reality simulator which is on the verge of becoming sentient and wiping out humanity. We'll keep you updated on our progress. Jon

If you're interested in my full thoughts on AI in strategy games, check out this thread: http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=63821 A lot more depth there than in any of the GDC summaries you'll find online. Jon
[quote who="kaiapo" reply="15" id="2885254"] I'm actually very curious what you think about the matter discussed by the OP. Granted Brad also had a good share of just how bad it can get when you try to read forums following a game release that for some reason didn't please everyone but your experience must be quite unique.
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="4" id="2885171"]I'm the most loved forum poster, right? Right? RIGHT! I'LL FUCKING CUT MYSELF IF YOU DON'T SAY YOU LOVE ME, BRAD! p.s. I really shouldn't make that kind of joke...considering I work in mental health. But I'm a bastard. I'm far more active here than most forums and my personality really shines here...I'm sure everyone is glad about that. EDIT: I

[quote who="Glowing_Ember" reply="13" id="2873772"]I'd like to point out this little blurb ( i know he's kidding lets just get that out of the way ) Adam: According to Wikipedia, you enjoy beekeeping. Is that true? What other hobbies do you have outside of Stardock? I’m really getting into human cloning. The basement of our building has a number of large “jars” where we grow more developers and other key personnel for futur

I noticed I also don't have my Stardock badge in "Official Stardock Forum mode." Tech suppooooooooort!!!! Jon

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Sorry for the late response - I normally view the Stardock forums through the Stardock website, instead of the Elemental one, and apparently that means you can't see any of the subforums. This is totally the first time I've seen this thread. Jon
Well, think of it this way - the time Derek saves by not posting is time he can instead spend making the game better. It's not like he's sipping martinis on the beach or anything. That's my job. Jon
[quote who="RogueCaptain" reply="153" id="2868888"]I'd like to know what FE is and what is the target for moddability. Is it along the lines of the 4xTBS: SM Alpha Centauri elements? Is it entirely a campaign?[/quote] Moddability goals for FE are still being established. Not sure what you mean about SMAC elements though - are you talking about FE in general, or just modding features? Jon
[quote who="John_Hughes" reply="33" id="2868080"]Really looking forward to it. "Jon is focusing on mod-ability" Oh, and Jon, just because you spell your name funny, doesn't mean all the other Johns won't be expecting GREAT mod improvements...right? [/quote] We'll definitely be able to improve things, but don't expect miracles overnight. ;) It's much easier to build a moddable game when you do so from square 1. Retrofitting things later mak

So that this doesn't become an ongoing distraction... As part of a public company, 2K has a policy where only certain individuals are permitted to talk about the company and its games in public. The only exceptions to this are for special events, like trade show interviews. Everyone employed by 2K is beholden to this policy, and it does not expire after someone departs the company, regardless of the circumstances. Some people don't always abide by this, but that's on them.
I'm obviously a little biased here, but I do think it's worth playing at this point. I played it pre-1.1 and it was, uh, really hard to enjoy back then. It's gotten a lot better, but there's still work to do. The UI is one of my biggest peeves right now as well, so I'll be delivering a nice, hefty list to Derek and co. soon. ;) Jon

Thanks all, looking forward to helping make Elemental and future Stardock games amazing. And stirring up a bit of trouble on the forums from time to time, of course. ;) Jon
[quote quoting="post"] Dude. DUDE. Trip, mad , if only you had been here to pre-empt the whole squares instead of hexes thing. Looking forward to seeing you in action professionally again! Kael was a big addition, especially with his business software background, but I'm mad pleased to see someone coming from the other end jumping aboard. That said, apparently Brad is a worse poacher than the MLB. Next it'll be batters from Cuba and perhaps
