Reply to Imbue champion (Cast before battle, remove after exploit) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Imbuing a champion seems like a pretty heavy enchantment to cast for the champion and the sovereign, kind of a strong magic bond between the two. Maybe this enchantment shouldn't be that easy to cancel, maybe even plain impossible. Or add a costly spell you can use to sever the bond.

[quote who="Jean=A=Luc" reply="178" id="2826539"]Am I the only one who has a problem with a spell called "fertility" increasing prestige? Not that it can't be rationalized, it's just that one would expect such a spell to increase food production, not prestige. Maybe give it a different name like "Aura of Hope" or something. Also the fire spell descriptions might be incomplete but don't let fire spells just be different versions of "single target damage" affairs. If you have "Burni

[quote who="Cryptomancer" reply="184" id="2806300"] Quoting Cruxador, reply 176 I would rather have detailed lore than simple lore. That's your preference. My own is that I do not care about the whole Elemental lore -- not one bit. I am only interested in playing single-player "skirmishes" against comps. They can be Elves or Dwarves for all I care. The current factions and their lore leave me cold. (Going back to my

Reply to Why is city spamming bad? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'd do something like : - All production buildings move up one rank in city level. Meaning all those buildings require a city rank 1 to be made - Initial town starts at level 2 with some kind of Palace structure that acts as an house that uses no food. - No more food production out of thin air. Food production buffs improve an existing resource tile only. That way, you can make as many "outposts" as you want. An outpost is a level

Reply to Premade notification in Demigod Demigod Forums

Step one : flag all your premade games in the title. Step two : search for a (now tagged) premade game of the correct size before creating one yourself That or wait for an "arranged team" automatch which would do the exact same thing anyway.

Reply to Premade notification in Demigod Demigod Forums

I find it funny premades feel the need to hide the fact they are making a premade game cause it takes too long to fight (meaning there aren't enouth premade teams looking for games) when, on the other hand, PUGs complain of always falling in a ninja premade game which seems to suggest there are a lot of them. Maybe premade teams should spend more time looking for premade games before creating a new one. Oh, of course the problem is simple! Since they do not flag their g

[quote who="Jaradakar" reply="7" id="2230442"]Much like RTS games... The greater the disparity in skill level/coordination in teams the more likely that a comeback won't happen. For example: Lets say player skill is rated 1-10, with 10 being god like and 1 being noob. Game #1 Team A: Player Skill = 10 Team B: Player Skill = 1 No matter what team B does, the chances of a comeback are pretty much impossible. <br /

Reply to <Enemy> suicided. in Demigod Demigod Forums

Ooze isn't the only way to suicide yourself, there are the poison potions too. Worse, they can be used to "team kill" too. And it might not be the only way in the future to suicide yourself (new DG with new skills, new items that use your HP etc...) Better to change the rules attributing a kill now and be safe for any new way to suicide than to only change the way Ooze works.

Reply to <Enemy> suicided. in Demigod Demigod Forums

No, this is contrary to the way the game was designed. No such stupidly artificial and hardcore deny mechanisms that has you killing your own to get any benefits. Suicides should not exist except for someone freshly spawned. When you kill yourself by any means, the kill should be given to the last opponent that damaged you or used any kind of skill on you : let's say you get stuned for no damage and during that time you take no damage from anywhere, if Ooze kills you, the stunner gets

This can be solved easily by greatly increasing the yeti attack stock attack speed (thus, 4 yetis would do the same number of attacks in 10 as 12 nightcrawlers for example) since all the minion attack bonuses are either flat damge bonus or attack speed (which should scale correctly already)

Cleave stacks in a very weird and kinda OP way. If you play regulus which gets some AoE damage on regular attacks with Angelic Fury and buy the item with 100% chance to Cleave, it seems that everything around your target is hit twice for double your regular damage.

Reply to a short Comparison of Different Rating systems in Demigod Demigod Forums

ELO is perfectly fine as a system. Just don't show the player rating at all until he's done a few games. Or use the Glicko-2 rating which is a modified ELO trying to handle the fact that some player rating is plain bad (new players and long inactive players for example) and hide the rating for the uncertain ones. Trueskill is a ELO like system with different rules to compute the score and handles team games too it says. It takes a lot from Glicko btw.
