pigeonpigeon has made me pay enough attention to notice that the runic text on several of the Artwork images in the Media area appears to be identical. Frogboy included the shaman image in a recent post, which made me rashly assume that it was 'fresh' stuff and the rune-words might include some new backstory info.

This question makes me wonder whether devoted followers might be a potential mana source in the game. Carrying on about that would be threadjacking, though...

Wow, sorry guys I didn't see that this thread had new replies. Honestly I could not believe Stephen Colbert made an apperence on the boards

But yes what they said is all true the concept art is all the same. I even double checked to make sure. And   because they haven't fixed the typo yet which I hope will be fixed on the actual box art. But then again I'd be the only one who noticed, lol

Just wondering here... but have you translated the words which appear in teaser trailer yet? https://forums.elementalgame.com/329963

There appears to be many words floating in the background...

Also, the letter X appears in the trailer multiple times, in case you still need that letter's symbol and is VERY apparent what it's symbol is.

Edit: after reverse engineering your translations compared to the symbols on the pages you translated, the words appearing the in background are pretty much objects that fall under the catagories in the main text (explore, expand, exploit, exterminate, as well as the small paragraphs which are shown in english)
For example, catapult and foot soldier under 'exterminate', castle under 'expand' and white ruins, (indecipherable) caverns under 'explore.' Also, some of them repeat.

I would guess the letter to faint or small to read would also read out to be items relating to the titles... However, the very large text (for the 4X titles) makes for very good copy and paste to get a much more detailed look at the letter than the artwork shots provide.

Yes Alway that is exactly right that is why I did not translate or put it on the boards because it was just the same stuff again and again . I thought I posted that in the thread but I might be wrong, and yeah someone pointed out the X's to me, hehe.
