Reply to Player Input: Professions in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I really want these choices to be game changing and epic, mutch like in MoM or MoO, perhaps profession is the wrong name for them, perhaps "specialization" or "origin" is better. If up to me, i would lay these rules down 1. think Epic 2. one main bonus + one sideeffect bonus + unlock/random guarantee (see my herbalist profession above as example) 3. playtest with replayability in mind 4. Unbalance is more fun, i win button is not. <p

My favorite spell in MoM .. at least when i first saw it Chaos channels Unit Enchantment (Permanent) Cost 50 mana Transforms a normal unit into a chaos creature. It can receive either wings (2 Mvt), or demon-skin armor (+2 defense) or strength 2 fire breath. <td vali

Reply to Road Building…Your thoughts? in Elemental Dev Journals Stardock Forums

Player plan road, hits apply and 20 people from the nearest town rush out to build it, this road building will drain the city abit while the road is constructed, or perhaps you can put a toggle on a military unit, if on, they rush out and start building I was trying to think really simple here : )

[quote who="Cerevox" reply="26" id="2547822"]Very little has been declared to be so. The empire = death, other = life is one of the few things that has been. The devs have said it enough times that changing it now would just confuse the crap out of everyone.[/quote] hehe .. wise

Would this Kingdom = Arcane (Based on the old world elemental, magicians, from where the channelers evolved from, if i understand the lore correctly) Empire = Eldritch (Based on the strange warping ways of the Titans) Be better ? Edit: added explanation of words Arcane ar·cane /ɑrˈkeɪn/ –adjective known or understood by very few; mysterious; secret;

Subterran City/Rase (Option) in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Since we wont see, well most likely, underground areas in Elemental, how about this; At the start of the game you can choose you rase to be a subterran rase, mutch like in MOO. This would only be a cosmetic change, but perhaps with some bonus and some disadvantage, like more protected but less people, more chance of iron, but less chance of fertile land At the start your city is say 30% subterran, with time you can choose to extend

Reply to Boogie's Thoughts on Chancellors, Cities, Snaking and Secession in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Hmm .. Food, and fertile land, these two is repeated again and again on how good a city becomes or should become, and also how this could restrict city spam.. but Its water, pure water source, that is the essence of a city, both to how many people the area sustains, and the health of the area and its people, why not make the water source the big IT, in how a area sustains its population, and pumping more essence/spells/rituals from the channeler to purify more water, or keep the water

Reply to Boogie's Thoughts on Chancellors, Cities, Snaking and Secession in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

How about having buildings in cities have a small random chance to become something enhanced, just a small bonus, like a farmer who finds out how to make a really really good pai, +0.1 food quality, and should be rare, with increased chance on size or if there is a special resource in the area or something .. i think you get the picture. It would help make each city special

Reply to Jagged mountains and cliffs? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Well the jagged rocks on the media page looks to me like it will be expanded on. massive mountain ranges are also very important in a strategical view.. also i would think that clean glazier water would be a good resource to have, or perhaps like most other games this is a given, i hope not

Jagged mountains and cliffs? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Im hoping that the final version of the game wont have just the rolling hills type mountains, right now it looks very good all in all, but rivers coming from glaziers stuck between jagged mountain ranges would make it superb : )
