Reply to Rethinking factions… in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I like(oops) creating my own factons so far and I am sure I would just love to create my own races of elves, orcs, etc..What I don't particularly like if we do that is "a 'Race' tab where you would design what they look like along with a very simple Strength and Weakness list." As of yet I haven't been able to model any units. When I'm in unit creation screen I can see a white window with a lil bit of turqois color in it. I can see the backgroun

Reply to RTS players unit in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

The RTS game I remember that allowed for good tower defense strategies was Age of Empires. I remember one game on a large map with 4-5 players in it. I sent my worker to some edge of screen area(the map had lots of trees in it). I would send out an occasional troop just to let pps know I was there but I lined my 1 way in route with lots of towers and a few troops. Build the wonder. Then they came after me en mass. I was able to complete my wond

Ok, didn't know tiles were tied to terrain or anything else. I thought it was just a graphic for visuals.

Reply to Buildings Should Cost People (maybe?) in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Darkodinplus -I really like that. Frogboy -To me it would be a great way to add 'life' to each and every hamlet, village, etc. It is also a little bit 'sim' like you say, however, couldn't you just abstract or make a few animations/still works to imply you have 'all these' working people. The cities are yet to be changed to make unique/fun/active/interactive. Tasunke- I believe just the opposite.&nbs

Reply to Hexes in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Couldn't we just toggle in-between overlays? Doesn't seem complicated to me but then again, I'm not always the brightest light. Sometimes just a dim bulb.[e digicons]:S[/e] The hexes were used extensively for miniature war gaming. People enjoyed having flanking options which hexes provided. Squares are limited in direction you face, but were used so heavily(cause it was easy) in underground/dungeon settings for people to make maps with. Eve

Will be doing that _PawelS_. I heard Shadow Magic was pretty fun. Its just one of many really good games I haven't gotten around to yet. Same with the Fall From Heaven 2 mod. Don't know when, just someday..[e digicons]:D[/e] I am trying to stay away from Dwarf Fortress also until the 'right' time for me. These days in gaming I'm usually showin up to the party after all the other revelers are leaving out the front door.

Reply to Let's talk about Master of Magic in War of Magic Elemental Forums

"Why talk only about MoM?"-well Rainbowsand, the reason is because thats the topic of the thread. The OP has already stated many times that there are many great games of the past (an maybe present) that Stardock will beg, borrow or steal for Elemental to make it as great as possible. Of that list of great games of the past, MoM, is one of the core games in which they looked at for inspiration for their own game. Hope you played MoM post patch but it doesn't sound like

Sir_Linque, thought maybe it was just a name convention thing that could be edited by replacing the word in the text editor and that all the game links to that word would be synthesized. GWSwicord-"I'm not clinging to hope, but it would be very nice to see as little modern/tech/gamespeak language in the UI as possible." I agree with that sentiment completely.

Well Raven X, you are one of the posters here I trust for a review of hardware/software(we all have some differences). Right now I am just behind the times. It will take me some time before I start switching over(I think). Thank you for that input[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] . Most of you on this forum(but not all) have probably already made the migration.

Reply to Religion in Elemental in War of Magic Elemental Forums

strager, I hope the system you envisage will be capable of representing gods and goddesses. Much like the Deities and Demigods from DnD. So not only could you be worshipping a cult figure or a abstract religious principles but you could also have the manifestation of a deity/deities or their representatives evolve in the game. Early religious techs could be something like- Founding the religion=receive 2 essence, Prestige.

Cool pic Wintersong. Raven X, that has happened so many times to so many people it ain't funny(not having a the "one" chord or cable attached). Now when it's one of you techies that makes it even more frustrating(for you). I bet everyone here who uses a computer more than a few times a year has done that least once in their life. Glad your back up.

This has been an interesting read, topic and discussion. Gonna throw my hat into the flames. I had a chance to visit and go to school in England for a time. Of course, enjoying fantasy and all that stuff I really loved exploring the castles and keeps. The town I stayed in had a very small tower keep in roughly the center of town. This is in Guildsford. It was placed there by William the Bastard AKA The Duke of Normandy AKA William the Conqueror AKA Wi

Reply to The current tech system will lead to big imbalances in tech trading in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Ty TCores for bringing this up. It would be nice if the trading technologies were allowed but not like GC2. Would be better if the technologies traded don't receive benefits immediately via the trade. Think there should be very strong restrictions on trading in vanilla campaign. I want them to be allowed but just to have less influence of the overall game than they were in GC2. Maybe a mechanic where you can only have one technology trade for x amount

Not a fan of metropolis either. Yes were nitpicky it appears. I agree with John_Hughes for the most part and this small detail can be fixed/altered later and is not a part of debuggin atm. Even if its only something you will see or read about in the manual. Currently(just for giggles) I name my world Oerth. The first city created is Greyhawk and the faction that I use are The Men of Blackmoor. I just love being able to zoom in an out o

Reply to Religion in Elemental in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Just want to say this is not a historical game nor is it based on anything historical(unless its another pc game). The vast majority of fantasy literature has all kinds of witchcraft, superstition, cults, religions, demi -gods and gods. It usually adds depth to storylines and plot development. Many of the 'monsters' and other fantastic beings/creatures that were created for literature and gaming do come
