Looking for some information on Elemental? You're in luck! The Elemental community has a Wiki page that was created by Sycraft and in it you can find information on the basics of the games and several other things. You can find the wiki in the following address:
at http://elementalwarofmagic.wikidot.com/.
Currently we could use some more volunteers to fill out and update certain parts of the wiki. Thank you for the read
Wow!
Very nice work on those Tech trees.
Very nice,thank you for that!!
I've been thinking that it would be helpful to have some place where you could view all the different graphics for when you're creating quests, custom units, etc. I'm having doubts right now as to the value of it. After all, people can just go to thumbnail view on their PCs and view the files there in whatever size they want. Or even Picasa's desktop application. Plus I don't know if Stardock wants all their graphics uploaded to the interwebz.

I have a script that will parse through the directories and return the wiki markup for this page. The one problem is that the wiki only lets you upload 50 at a time.
Then there's the issue of storage. If one were to upload all the gfx .png files that's going to chew up a lot of the available storage. Not to mention bandwidth (I couldn't tell if the wiki has a bandwidth restriction).
Would it be possible for Stardock to upload the files to the Elemental site with a thumbnail version (100x100) and make it accessible? Something with a consistent naming convention - filename appended with _thumbnail or parallel folder structure just for thumbnails?
Ideally it would be useful to separate something like the medallion page into categories but not going to worry about that right now.
Hmmm. So Wikia is a "commercial version" of Wiki... basically they "buy up" other noncommercial wikis, and then use that info on their site that presumably has ads, and other forms of revenue generation.
So in business laymans terms, Wikia provides a server(s), gathers information from users, has ads, and serves a somewhat useful service, albeit at the cost of "making money".
I had a service like that once. It was called Impulse. I bought Sins.. needed to install Impulse so I could buy the first expansion. Wasn't sold in stores by me... I tried to log on, it said username and password incorrect. I said.. interesting, I created account today... it doesn't work. Lemme try tomorrow. Didn't work for a couple days, so I never bought expansion over IMPULSE. I then bought trinity pack, and had to use impulse to get update. Tried making new account, it told me I already had one. I then typed old password/username and they worked. WHEEE!
Since then, I have had to use the service to install Elemental as my disks from the store wouldnt fully install. After getting it installed (and of course IMPULSE updating ITSELF, Impulse now sits on my toolbar as a reminder of how something that should be free (Wikis... updates for games you buy) is always gathering info about me and trying to sell me crap. I can think of at least 5 things that Impulse has spawned on me in last month or so to generate revenue.
So really I don't see a difference.
Wikia provides content (pages). Impulse does too (updates)
Wikia wants to gather private info about you. So does impulse
Wikia wants to make a buck. Impulse as well, of course
Wikia targets ads to me. Impulse targets ads as well, in the form of games to buy off their site.
Where exactly is the major difference?
Not trying to be a jerk here, but if Wikia is NOT WHAT people are used to on the web (ads, privacy issues...) then maybe they are using a different internet than I am.
For the record, I don't use Wikia, if it ain't on wikipedia or I can't google it, I don't need it.
I AM FORCED to use Impulse though. So I guess there is the difference????
