Reply to Are we supposed to be hitting the city tile limit? (and other citizen thoughts) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

One of my biggest problems with cities right now it our starting city should be the crown jewel of our empire. It needs to have something more than any other city in our empire. The only cities that could rival it would be the capital cities of the other factions. As for the tiles I agree that we should be able to make larger cities. I mean I usually only make 1 to 3 level 5 cities on a large map, but my capital I try to make the best at everything which you cant bec

Reply to Trade routes (caravan not sent) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

You all have it wrong. What this means is you have a caravan incoming to a city from a different city, but no outbound caravan going back. So if your city has 5 caravans coming to it, but you can only send out 3 from that city you would see caravan not sent for the two cities that you are not trading back with. Another example 3 cities sending you a caravan, but you send your caravans to a different 3 cities. Your city info panel would show 3 cities as carava

Great post and love the idea because I also have felt that the land has no value which I have expressed in other posts. Also this is not about the Civ games because like someone else said MoM had this also to a degree.

On top of that, they're creating, for lack of a better term, an open source- ish game which allows people to freely add content to the game. Lots of factors inv

[quote who="Das123" reply="34" id="2851229"]The game being so ambitious makes it a really easy target for criticism because when you focus on individual elements such as the magic or the lack of racial diversity it makes the whole game sound weak. But Elemental really is stronger than the sum of its parts.[/quote] What is so ambitious about this game? Are you referring to all the work they are doing because the game needed it? Are you referring to

If you are attracted to this game because of magic, like I was, than stay away. This game has turned into buying armor and weapons to be a warrior not a mage. I have currently played all levels of difficulty and magic is lacking in spells, but usable in normal diff. Magic becomes useless the higher you go in difficulty. Current system you only get to cast 1 spell per combat round and the only spell that can attain the highest damage is arcane arrow.&nbs

you dont even have to save and reload for the town name changing bug all you have to do is move a unit into or out of the town and it will revert back to itself.

Reply to v1.1 bug that still needs to be addressed in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yeah it just happened to me again on a medium map this time. I went ahead and made transports with auto explore and I cannot end turns once again. So it had nothing to do with the map size, but it has to do with either the transports or auto explore. The funny thing about this issue is there is no issue at first. It seems to happen after 6 or so rounds after auto explore has been engaged or maybe it is because I will have like 5+ transports on auto explore before it be

[quote who="gsitetfs" reply="4" id="2848802"]One possibility, if a caravan goes to a city where there is already a trade route, it stands outside the city and doesnt move till you click on it and sent to another city where no trade route exists. Also all units or hired champs should be safely inside the settlements, if they are standing with nowhere to go the turn doesnt seem to end. [/quote] I have never had that problem before. I leave hired champs outside

The reason I put down the info on the auto explore and transports was I think it all started happening around the same time. It might not have or it may have been just coincidental.

ran into a new issue today around the year 296ac so I think about 130 years into the game, I cannot proceed to the next turn. It sounds exactly how I wrote it when I hit the end turn button nothing happens. This was going on for quite a few years, but I could save the game, close it out and restart it with no problems like nothing happened at all. Every couple of years I would hit the same problem, but this time no matter how many times I shutdown the game it will not let me

When are we going to get a fix to the towns names changing during gameplay on the overhead display. This has been an issue since release and even though it was minor one compared to many other bugs at release it would be good to know that it might be looked at soon. It becomes very hard to find certain towns when playing on a large map. Thanks

[quote who="TarlSS" reply="21" id="2846799"]Now, I know you guys are going to 'super overhaul' the system. But honestly the game would really benefit from a higher initial global mana throughput, a starting initial elemental spell book, and a number of bonus spells dependant on INT. One major problem is that dumb sovereigns store up extra mana they can use for super-devastating end game spells, whereas smart sovereigns wind up burning it all away. Intelligence REALLY needs to affec

Where is the magic? You don't even need magic to play. How come I don't get no starting combat spells? I don't want to run around clubbing things I want to blast them. Why do I have to focus on melee? Why use magic in a battle once you learn magic because you only get one shot and with melee you get 3 to 5 shots a turn. I really dont get this game and where magic is going. I can decimate the entire map as a warrior type character and cant do crap with

Ok I guess I will sound like the bad guy here, but where are all the spells I thought we were going to get in version 1.1? As it is right now I still dont even use magic because it is pointless especially when I can go from battle to battle with a weapon one hitting everything. I thought you guys were going to add more spells and make magic more useful. Do not get me wrong I appreciate all the time and hard work you have put into improving this game, but I still purchased

Ok so does anyone know the bonuses they actually provide because the descriptions are way to vague. Do the tech ones mean you already start with one level or does it mean you research them faster. Does anyone know or know where I can look for them because I have just spent the last hour looking and could not find them anywhere. Thanks
