That dragon in 100 years is going to be worth more than the game. But, I can't wait now for mine. I would have liked a spell poster though listing all the spells and stuff like Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri does the research tree.

Reply to AOW:Shadow Magic Killer? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Well I don't judge the game by the ai competency alone I also take into account the difficulties and how hard it is to beat and how fast. MOM was just better overall in every respect vs AOW. I add how the ai plays plus the difficulty and how hard it is to beat the GAME not just the ai. MOM once again was just better overall in every respect vs AOW. The only thing really AOW has over MOM is graphics and that's not even that great. Plus more ai oppenents in relevent to the difficulty of the gam

I'd like to see them do a "War of the Lance" remake with tactical battles. War of the Lance has one of the best ai's I've played against as well. Seeing an updated Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri game would be welcomed also. I'd also like to see an improved graphics game of "Sword of Aragon". A game most of you probably never heard of but one of the most fun ones I played on a Commodore 64 "Heart of Africa". A stickman adventure like in search of Dr. Livingston only this is

[quote]The MoM AI just cheated a lot more on harder levels.[/quote] And you think the ai in AOW seires on higher difficulties didn't cheat as well? The ai performance was never really improved only the amount of resorces it started with an gained during the game were. I too found the ai in AOW:SM and II very lacking.

Reply to Trust in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Once I saw the play and style of GC2 origional I was hooked on Stardock produced games. They have improved that game 100 fold since the beginning and I fully expect Elemental to receive the same treatment. That's why I don't expect it to be a masterpiece out of the box. No game is really anymore because of all the coding and lack of real beta testing. I'll play what they give me (that I paid for rather hehe) and like an expentant child before christmas wait with glee for all the patches and e

This game will reach the sales figures of Galactic Civilization II because it is a great game with a great ai and fun and those that really care about Stardock and future games from them will buy it just like the Paradox fanboys buy all their games and the Creative Assembly fanboys do the same. None of these multiplayer dweebs are going to change anything or force Stardock to comply on anything in the form of MP because it's just not required or needed for this game to be a success (they don'

Reply to Post Mortem on the Elemental Beta in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Stardock is smart to do the beta the way they did. If they had of released a full version near the end of programming developing stage it would have been out there on the Pirate sites before the 24th of Aug got here thus cutting into their revenue and profits even more. I've been beta testing for 25 years and I've seen it all. Most beta testers just want a free game and hardly ever send in a bug report. In this case we all paid to be in the beta so really you weren't required to do as a norma

Reply to Will there be more techs in the tech tree in final release? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Not all beta's are horrid in fact not too long ago beta testers got a final release beta version as well as a full boxed game for free. Hell I wouldn't even beta test if I wasn't getting something rewarding or free out of it. I am disappointed in this beta test though. I paid $80 upfront so I expected a lot more than this out of the beta. We should get 1 or 2 days before release of the final version IMO. Especially all those that paid the $80 upfront.
