I like this. I would pay for this mod but like it even more in the vanilla game.

But the AI is supposed to cheese spam rush. I just want it to be unpredictable. I want Bastard AI AND angelic AI. Friendly and Hostile, Stupid and Smart, Might and Magic. What I don't want is an AI that never rushes me, I just don't want it to ALWAYS rush me. I think I'm with Vaul on this one.

He probably believed it was the former but since Relias found his journal I would guess he believed wrong. I hope there won't be quite as many typos and errors in the finished product though. Maybe you should let me into your Alpha so I can start wordcrunching? Tomas

Reply to Impulse and FE Question in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

To me Steam has on HUGE disadvantage to Impulse. They seem to think a dollar and a euro are about the same. They aren't, I have to pay about 30% more for a Steam Game. That's just...wrong.

Agreed. HUGE clubs for the Trogs would be nice. And it doesn't sound all that complicated to incorporate, but hey, what do I know. A nice idea none the less. Tomas

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Tactical Battles - Part 1 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Sound great. Now tell us how the battles in FE will work...are any of the features Lord Xia mentioned included? Zoc and flanking would be great, range on spells are already in WOM, but different ranges on bows would be a step forward, and maybe spears could have a range of 2 etc. Add terrain features that makes sense (archers on hills!) and we would have a REALLY interesting game combat wise... And thanks for sharing Frogboy, looking forward to future posts. Tom

Reply to Fallen Enchantress- Events in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

YES, we do. It's first an foremost a singleplayer game, and then fair isn't fun. Why? Because we, the human, never plays fair. Lost an important battle? Reload. Someone sneaked around you and grabbed you undefended capital? Reload. If you want to play hardcore mode with no reloading then a checkbox for random events is a good idea. Or leave it on, figuring you'll be able to beat whatever the game can throw at you. That's what makes it fun.

Ross, din you even READ the post? There's nothing in there that complicates the game, it's all about balance and content and improvements to already existing mechanics. I agree that we don't want a game where you get lost in micromanagement, but if you want no management at all go play a FPS. Great OP. Tomas

Epic thread? I would say tragic. Some posts are pretty interesting though, but a bit to much anger going on. :P Danipenn, I agree with you, I do pretty much the same thing, download games to try them out, if I like them I buy them. That wasn't the case with elemental though, preordered it months ago to get into the beta. That being said though, I would guess we are exceptions. I do not think *most* people who pirate actually goes and buys the game when it's already on their co

The funny thing is they might have changed to additive bonuses so that it would be more understandable. I always thought cumulative bonuses made more sense, and when we're talking negative bonuses it's a given. I think they should change ALL the bonus going on to be cumulative (like in earlier games), and THEN try to balance it out.

Reply to General Questions in War of Magic Elemental Forums

1: All units 2: 1hp in ZOC, and as far as I've noticed the same in cities. 3: Besides level and recruitment base, it also affects the level of influence (ZOC) 4: None for the moment, but this is probably a bug. 5: Shards aren't working properly, that's why it's so off. 6: Wisdom actually affects casting speed, essence don't. But they should remove wisdom and only use essence to make it more consistent. 7: They have the same effect as far as I kn

Reply to Is this normal? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

You have to set the tactical battles threshold in the options menu to 0, then you get to choose if you want to battle or not. Never really understood why you wouldn't have it zero, you can always choose auto-resolve if you want. Anyway, just set the threshold to 0. Tomas

The healing of squads is bugged. It works as long as you don't load a save game, but if you do damaged squads gets messed up. Tomas

Reply to Gritty/Realistic (and better) combat rules in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

Loving it, makes me think of the old days playing Warhammer 40k. Maybe double all armor values against ranged attacks, otherwise they would get seriously overpowered. Nice idea, I would absolutely try the mod. Tomas

Reply to Shards not working, not increasing damage at all in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think you're over complicating. As long as defense doesn't stack it's alright to have count against magic too, because we wouldn't have insane def. I agree it isn't logical though, dex is a better choice if you want to be realistic. And again, the 10% bonus per squad member is making it harder than it has to be. A group with four units using broadswords already attack with 4d10. Which is perfectly logical. However, the defender only rolls one def roll against the comb

Reply to Elemental: Launch-Week Status Report in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

But there would be a little side effect. A 10 units stack vs a 1 unit stack = 10 * (1D10 vs 5) A 10 units stack vs a 10 units stack = 10 * (1D10 vs 5) It's the exact same roll ! The only advantage of a stack would then be the number of hit points. You should get an advantage to attack with more people. A simple solution : an attacker that has more units than the defender would get a bonus in attack, unless the defender has the "heroic" ability

Reply to The Death squad dilemma - read and agree in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Right now it doesn't matter if you have a single unit or not, because the rolls aren't worked out individually. Even though seperate rolls are being made for attack, they still stack them up before they compare with the defense roll. And I suppose they also make seperate defense rolls for every unit, but still stack them up before comparing to the attack value. So in effect, your enemies probably had an even better defense than a single unit with 32 defense would have. Because the final roll

[quote who="Werewindlefr" reply="6" id="2738272"] Quoting jmccrea, reply 4Try talkiing to the Spartans about defense not stacking...or even the Romans...Heck even the modern military could have stackable defense, just due to they way we communicate back and forth. Defense stacking makes perfect sense when you think of them as a group...not individuals. Thats why they are so deadly...they attack together, rather than just as individuals. Not to mention, you got my back,
