Reply to …It is time to discuss….DEATH!!!! (or at least combat) in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

IMHO the most important part if you make tactical comabt is the feeling that your decisions really affect the outcome, that there are changing situations that you must react to.Your manoevres really must make a difference, flanking , attacking from rear, possibly ambushes, scouting for those with special units, advantages/disadvantages of terrain...I love empire total war land combat because it is first game for as long as i can remember that actually takes it into account (some of it) .Also

I would agree wioth aesir, new, orginal doesnt mean good ... In fact there are plenty of games who tried so hard to be original it didnt do well for their main purpose and thats fun:) Look on the game concept its 4x game wich is something very old and used , but its done becuase poeple (means us:)) like it. With lots of improvement over the original ideas of course.Same for fantasy setting , imho classic creatures are tons of fun.I mean that using old ideas and improving over

I was thinking about more of those tiny cool touches that were sometimes present in galciv 2 for example on the tab of the planet you could read a short history of the planet including the time you conquered it (your input) or reading the people opinion

good/bad defence/offence healing in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Currently in many games evil sides have powerfull destructive powers while good side healing/reparing.In case of GalCiv it was defensive offensive bonuses. While at some role palying level it was cool , i alwys had a problem with this as i love to play as evil:) and create ultra powerful veteran units , to preserve wich you need defense+healing/repairing. In some games it was nearly a game breaking exp for me , for example in age of wonders series without your

Reply to Very happy about random techs and infinite research in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yep infinie tech and random based is great , so far in 4x games alwys you got at some point to a moment when your reserarch didnt matter anymotr cause it was maxed wich was tottaly unrealisitc and unbalanced for reasearch focused parties.
