[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="200" id="3174188"] Some recent history: The whole reason I originally came across FE was because I was in search of a server-free game after Starcraft II was released and REQUIRED you to be connected to Battlenet, EVEN if you play singleplayer mode. Stupid stupid stupid. Then when you want to play....server is down. Stupid stupid stupid. Then when you want to play ten years from now.....server no longer exists. Tough luck. Stupid stupid stupid.

By that logic, when someone is stabbed the government is to blame, because they allow people to buy knives and apparently the stabber is innocent. It's much more fair to the developers that they allow them to change the prices. This way a developer could lower the price of a game in a given region based on low sales in that region. Don't always assume people will do the worst if they're allowed to, check out the regional prices of Stardock published games: <a href=

For those who still blame steam for it's unfair regional prices please read this part of their wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_(software)#Regional_restrictions_and_pricing And if you're still not convinced read Vandal's (Witcher dev's) comment on the matter (blue text): <a href="http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/steam_1_usd_1_eur

I don't know if this has been pointed out or not (sorry I'm kind of in a hurry), but it's not steam's fault that there are region restrictions, or $ = euro prices. Only the developers have control over that, so when you see a $40 game for 40 euros on stream, it's actually the developer who's to blame. Same for all price or region related problems. Their support isn't great at all, but again you have to consider that they might have to ta

Thanks you very much! :) I really like this art style.

More wallpapers? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'm just asking because there's only 6 in the media section, and 2 for the upcoming Fallen Enchantress, but Frogboy sometimes posts cool concept arts (in tiny formats), isn't there a 1920X1200 version of those? :) (I've linked one of those arts, an air shard, sadly there's only a fire shard wallpaper right now.)

Reply to Bug? Long after attack animation while mounted in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I skip most of my tactical battles because of this, and the slow animations, the game should let us speed them up. About the Demon, I'm not sure which one you're refering to, but the one summoned by the empires has a spell that does 10 damage to every enemy on the field, maybe the damage ruined the morale? I don't know. :/

[v1.07] Minor Imbalances between the factions in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I know this isn't the most important bug right now, but some of these would be super easy to fix, I'll check some more later, but for now I noticed that while Kingdom farms cost 25 gildar 2 materials, Empire farms cost 25 gildar 5 materials. Also the Empire has no way to gain mana regeneration bonuses, so an Empire caster will always have lower mana than a Kingdom caster (once level 5 cities are present). If you have some more that could be fixed easily please post.

[BUG][v1.07] Missing spell effects while mounted in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Anyone else has this problem? Whenever I cast anything with a mounted character, the animation starts but there are no effects, if the effect originates from the caster, so lightening strike and all AoE spells work just fine, but something like fireball does not. This affects both tactical and strategic spells. Just try to cast spell of making while mounted and dismounted.

[quote who="Sethai" reply="33" id="2736161"]having said this, i would quite like a "lichdom" spell (or a good aligned equivalent) that immortalised your sovereign and reverted the game to the sovereign-is-the-game status, but this would have the tradeoff of infertility: you exchange a large pool of evolving characters for one obscenely powerful leader (ie, sauron vs gondor).

Reply to Marriage within your own faction in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Sadly it's not possible right now, you can only arrange marriges through diplomacy. You can however marry your children to a neutral NPC faction, which is nice if you have only daughters.

Reply to The problem with Dynasties (v1.05) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I fully support this. About the spellbooks, I guess they'll get some love in a future patch. If you ask me, they should be items, which you can trade and copy, though copying would cost lot's of gildar or time. Then you could have quests that give you rare books, like necormancy and such. Point 5 is my favorite, though it should be an option when starting a new game.

I've uploaded the savegame to mediafire (hopefully it'll show up here, if it doesn't just PM me) http://www.mediafire.com/?75edtns1uspf7fa There are 2 or 3 dragons in the upper left city, plus some epic drake/women. I've pretty much won the game by then, tried to do the quest of mastery, but sadly it didn't show up. :/ Edit: I forgot to tell, you need to put the savegame file in documents/my games/elemen

Mounted Drakes! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I hope this hasn't been posted yet. I married my daughter to a drake (neutral city), and my grandson turned out to be a drake as well! Then I went on to arm him...and well, it's kinda silly that you can give mounts to drakes. (pics on the link). By the way, that drake had like 25million combat rating with 25K strenght and such, I guess it should be fixed. :) Anyway, great game Stardock, just fix the bugs and I'll be more than happy with Elemental!

A possible fix for Heart of Life in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

While I do not belive anything's wrong with HoL, I see loads of topics about how OP or imbalaced it is with some demigods. I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this before, I couldn't find any posts about this, anyway here's my idea: What if the HoL functioned like the Orb of Defiance? "Cannot move, attack or use abilities.", the portable unlimited crystal feeling would remain, yet it'd have it's drawbacks (becoming a sitting duck). Oak couldn't use his shield (though an ally

Try buying cheap low health items for once instead of HoL. And you'll see depending on a HoL makes anyone fragile. (except Oak, but that's a bug about to be fixed) You can get +1500 health (or more?) from that 4250, that health will be just enough to chase him into the towers when he's retreating making his HoL obsolete. If he can outrun you, use Wand of Speed which is 1250, that 3000 gold is still enough for +1100 health upgrade. HoL should cost a bit more, but I'm no

[quote who="RamzaBehoulve" reply="10" id="2232887"] Doesn't change the fact battle.net multiplayer experience was better in 1998 than DG Multiplayer in 2009. [/quote] Yes, it's true, and now get over it. I've seen a hundred threads like this. Blizzard learned from their mistakes with Diablo, and I'm sure Stardock/GPG learned from the mistakes with Demigod as well. Nothing can be absolutely perfect at start.

Deserter "debuff" in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I think it would be a great addition to a surrender option, to have anyone who quits a game (not by surrendering as a team) a "deserter debuff". I got the idea from WoW, anyone who'd quit a game would be unable to join any for 10 minutes or so, this way players would be forced to use the surrender option, and not just quit. And if someone is in a hurry or something it's ok if he quits, he wouldn't want to join a new game anyway.

Well, we won a dominate game half an hour ago with Oberscheisse, me as TB, my teammate as UB against 2 Sedanas. I died 3 times (yeah that's three) during the first 5-10 minutes, and had no kills, no money, nothing. I tried to avoid conflict after that and started to focus on citadel upgrades. It was a really close match, our opponents were really good players, but we manged to win. My teammate was one hell of a good UB, but even he had no kills nor deaths during th

Reply to Circle of Fire: Change / Replace in Demigod Demigod Forums

Maybe making it a togglable ability that hurts anything that damages (normal attack even ranged, not spells) the TB, and costs mana per sec? That would work kinda like a shield for him. EDIT: and it'd be interrupted by stuns, that way it can be countered.

Reply to Wow.. No thread on Shatter? :\ - Tied for the biggest balance issue. in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

I don't think they should rework the best mechanic they came up with, and why does it take more skill to pull off boulder+slam? It's quite simple against melee heroes, 4 clicks actually. Anyway, a stun removing 1 use item would solve everything, but it might make stuns useless, then again TB is a glasscannon, he needs to do loads of damage in an instant, just look at a fire TB with the cooldown reducing favor item, with that one he does around 2700 damage in 4-5 seconds plus a fire
