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

[quote who="psychoravin" reply="17" id="2704684"]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

[suggestion] Magical items way too expensive in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I suspect that this has already been changed internally, but the magical items you get with crystal are WAY too expensive in gold terms to be of any use compared with how much they do. I've never used a single one despite having lots of crystal because the gold charged is extortionate. So I think they should be a) a lot more powerful so you'd actually want to use them (currently a cheap bit of armour and some boots will do the same job) and b) cost a lot less gold

Reply to Is it really 3 weeks from beign Released!? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Read the other journals. All that stuff is really easy to change. Froggie likened it to writing a college essay but having to code the word proccessor first. They've coded that, what's left is easy to fix. Half the stuff there has probably already been fixed, and what we have in the beta was never the same as the internal version anyway. Froggie specifically said that in every game they've ever released they get posts like this.&

Reply to Elemental: We’re so excited! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="Gazing" reply="53" id="2701470"]Regarding the availability of the game: Per your explanation, I understand I won't be able to buy a retail copy of the game a store. In that case, I have a question, or rather a request, regarding the download-able product: Suppose I download the game. Can I then burn it on a DVD, and then install and play it from that DVD without any internet connection? I plan to make full use of the offline features of the game, but I want to make sure

Reply to Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking on Fancast in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

I saw Prof Hawking not that long ago. The look on the tourists' faces as he 'trundled' down the street with an assisstant was hilarious. As for smartest guy on the planet, dunno really. The dude who's got Hawking's old job (you have to retire from it aged 67) is pretty smart. The Russian mathmo Perelman is ridiculously clever, but also downright weird. Somewhere I read that amongst the general public he is usually considered the brainiest guy aro

Reply to Creatures in Elemental in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Thorizan" reply="2" id="2674659"]Elemental has the biggest budget of ANY Stardock game so far. I trust they will use it to put in the things for which the fans truly care.[/quote] Although Frogboy said that a popular joke is that Elemental's budget is less than for the Civ V cut-screens

Reply to Cities... ugh! in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Certainly I think it should be that small cities have a lot less build slots, with bigger cities having more. At the moment you can just ICS small cities, which is precisely not what we want. Alternatively make city maintenance such that lots of small settlements isn't economical.
