Reply to Suggestions to make Emental THE game we all want in War of Magic Elemental Forums

The thing is the game will never be the game WE ALL WANT. There's too much diversity in opinions and wants here. I want this, another person wants that then the arguements ensue over why each others wants are stupid and redicuous and insane and blah blah blah just like every other game development forum out there. I will give most of you a little clue. The game core has already been built. The game DESIGN is already in place and when you start beta-ing all you are going to be abl

Remember in LotR the wizard MADE creatures from trees and mud and other magical ingredients. This could well be used for creating offspring for non-human types just like in the movie. So, it would be very easy for the eye to have offspring as it could make them from molten lava and pumice rocks in the mountain of doom. Throw in some spark from it's eye and wallah an offspring.

Yes that's the way I see it also CoffeeMonkey because the artical didn't say Immortal it said ETERNAL thus meaning forever an ever. So, as long as there is a part of his essence in some or one of his offspring then yes he continues on an on an on until his entire kingdom is destroyed or the game reaches that critical mass % ownage of the map that's going to be part of the game or the one most powerful spell being cast like Master of Magic. To me the soveriegn can only be displaced he cannot b

[quote who="KellenDunk" reply="28" id="2352686"]I don't expect this one aspect of diplomacy to become the entire game. This discussion leads me to believe others think it will. [/quote] That's because most others on this forum think one diminsional in every catagory of thought. Just overlook it it of course won't be the entire game of course.

Keep it simple stupid is the motto for great games. MOM had this same feature along with a magic resistance stat and it worked perfectly and nobody complained and the majority of gamers still hold it in highest esteem as the fantasy game all other fantasy designers should look to when making a fantasy wargame.

Oh Yarlen will you please curb these children afterall you did tell THEM to stop with the PERSONAL INSULTS now didn't you? ;)

Reply to The AI SURPRISE! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yeah ok Yarlen I'm sorry. But, some of these F.... grrrrrr just don't have a clue. I hate one diminsional thinking in people. I'm sure you know a great developer thinks in more than one diminsion so I'm not too worried really about how the game is going to turn out in the challenge department. Just had to cool off from reading these Ch..... posts. ;)

The point being Scorp it has nothing to do with the damn book. Just like developers of a game the producers of the movie CHANGED and SURPRISED the people with these out of nowhere changes to excite and entensify the part of the movie where these events happen. It's was a DESIGNED DECISION to put those in the MOVIE just like in a GAME. If you can even comprehend the concept and that there are 1000's of ideas how to make a movie just as there are to make a game. As I said it's been done a lot i

[quote]That would make for an incredibly stupid and boring game imo.[/quote] That's because you and the others have incredibly stupid and boring minds and only think one diminsional. I think in 5th diminsions ;) I should have known better to even discuss the issue with morons. As you can see from earlier posts of mine and what Brad has told us I'm pretty much in sync with him now and you'll be SURPRISED at some of the SURPRISES in the game. Some of you ain't gonna like them but oh wel

Guess you guys didn't see Lord of the Rings when the undead come in to save the day vs the then WINNING side.

Reply to Pre-Ordering and Payment in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Sorry I don't go for play on words pal and this is the biggest play on words I've ever seen. I've NEVER paid to play a BETA in 27 years. I've been a BETA tester for games since SSI days and I never had to paid a dime or put up a dime or any amount of monty to play a GD BETA edition. This is just a CHEAP ASS way to scam money out of kids who don't understand the policy or rules about BETA vs PRE-ORDERS.

No I will just point out once again that you are an idiot with now a below 80IQ. I've played them all since 1982 I know what is good I know what sells and I know what is a great game. You don't you're living in a delusional world that AI programming should be Expert level and every game should have Big Blue programmed into it. lmao what a moron you are.

The AI SURPRISE! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

We all know in most every game that ai is usually a pushover and we get so strong it becomes not much fun to continue on and boring. So I propose the AI SURPRISE programming that knows when the game has reached that point. The AI surprise is about LUCK and there should be LUCk in this game. From out of nowhere the AI will get this LUCK and will be granted an X number of the most powerful creatures in the game that it can control (but at least a stack full). It's like a one last stand
