"Fire" Developer Diary

I think he's hiked from the Blood God in DoW.
Well, that was "hiked" from the miniature, which I'm sure was based on some GW concept art. In fact, wasn't the miniature pose a lot like the one in that screenie?
 
I have absolutely no idea. My relationship with WH is very much in passing:D
 
Best keep it that way - the alternative is hugely expensive.
 
Not to mention stupidly time-consuming. A commodity I certainly do not possess in abundance.
 
So Kael, what's next week--the mercurians or the next victory condition?

Probably the Sheaim and the Mercurians. Im not sure what we are going to do with the new victory condition yet (though it was funny that the AI beat you to it).
 
will boats still be able to sail in seas of lava? it seems like they'd burn...:eek:

We haven't actually done this yet, because we need graphics first. But the idea is that say at arm counter 70 the seas will boil, which hurts all units each turn.
And then at arm coutner level 90 the sease would become impassable except for demons and units with fire resistance.
 
Tech Tree. Are there any new Techs? If there are any new Techs, could we get a list of the new techs and their And/Or Requirements? This would allow those of us who play with custom Tech Trees to start looking at how we will want to change things even if we don't have the actual tech yet.
 
No new techs, AFAIK. Existing techs do some rather spectacular new things, though. I suppose revamping of the tech tree would come as a result of feedback...
 
As far as I've understood the team, Yoshi, there are no new techs; the tech tree was planned for all four phases, so instead of adding new techs what they are doing is adding things TO existing techs (which might have seemed pretty useless so far). I'd expect minor tweaks (will you take Sureshot's reordering of the religious techs to the lower left corner for instance?) but no major redrawing.
 
Cool Cool.. as for revamping - I don't expect you guys to revamp the tech tree -- at least not to the degree which I feel is best -- and besides, I can modify my own tech tree (and have), I was just trying to learn if I needed to be aware of any new techs as I look to improve upon my tree's design.

Wait a minute, won't they evaporate if they boil? ;)

Won't the OO civs have some unpleasant experiences because of that? Or even... Won't Danalin wake up already??

all of the oo water walking units(drown&drown upgrades) have vulnerable to fire...
 
Bah, I can come up with crappy ideas that get rejected just as well before I play as after...

~p

You and me both.

We should start a company together - 100% guarantee of rejection.

I call it "neverware"

"Never gonna get it" should be our jingle.
