[quote who="DrJBHL" comment="35"]Not aware what you're referring to, it's a tad OT...still, do tell.[/quote] It is on-topic as per you saying you regard Salk as a hero. To start with: Polio was never and has never been proven to be caused by a virus. What has however been proven, is that injecting grounded up spines into monkey brains causes polio. But that is not transmission, as much as toxic exposure, which leads me to the next point. Polio was and is caused by pestici

This release offers such extreme amounts of bloat, but one thing ticked me off.

Another work-around is tabbing out and in, if your computer configuration is stable enough for Elemental not to crash. Yet another is hovering the mouse above an enemy if you have the swords, an a champion/friendly unit if you have the chat bubble.

[quote who="Arkenor" reply="9" id="2748523"]Increasing the number of points chapps and sovs gain when levelling certainly sounds like a good idea. How does that work with champions you find that are higher than level 1 though? Do they automatically take that into account with their stats, or will they be at a severe disadvantage against a champion who started at level 1 and levelled up? Also, I suspect it probably works better for some stats than others. Getting t

Reply to Reminder that Sovereigns don't scale in War of Magic Elemental Forums

For those who would like to change this, here is a step by step guide to change stat and experience gains for sovereigns and stat gains for champions. 1. Go to your Elemental/data/English (or whatever language version you have) and look for elementaldefs. Copy it over to your Mods folder, which is in the elemental main directory. It is not necessary to create subfolders, atleast not in this case. 2. Open up your file and look for [qoute] &nbs

[quote who="diamondspider" reply="6" id="2740716"]Why would I not build giants and elementals? They don't cost anything other than putting a measely 5 points into essence at the start (or after leveling) in my soveign and building a few arcane labs. Also, as I said, the stuff levels up very quickly if you want it to, and it's rigged so Con is the best thing to take usually in melee champs. Obviously, if you refuse to put points into Con, you'll have to settle for fairly low HP unit
