Reply to Hero Exp Split- Bad Design or Really Bad Design? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

The main problem with xp split is that you rarely have two champions in a stack. That means that there is no reason to try and pick abilities that compliment other champions, which in my opinion is a real shame. It also means that i try to have just one hero do all the exploring while the rest a just standing around cities. All in all i agree with the op, that the xp split is a bed design decision. It simply takes some of the fun out of the game.

Reply to Yes, there are monsters in the world in Everything Else Elemental Forums

The problem is that these guys were convicted before ever seeing the inside of a court. Which suddenly happens a lot in the US(Guantanmo bay and the patriot act). I myself do have doubt that they are the ones who did it. There is a good chance that these people were set up. I don't trust the American government or military AT ALL. These people are so corrupt and dangerous that I have no doubt in my mind that they are capable of committing false flag attacks. They have been

[.80] Bug Collar that controls a twisted unit dissapears in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I just did a quest that gave me a collar that can control a twisted unit. I do not know what a twisted unit is, so i tried the collar on a random unit. It said that it did now work on this type of unit, but the collar disappeared anyway. And what is a twisted unit, i think the description of the item should say that.

[.80] Balance af familiar in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I played my last game as a mage, and have been trying to use the familiar effectively in combat. I have however big trouble keeping it alive as it has so few hit points and is constantly targeted by enemy archer like characters. The new combat setup is not helping either. The familiar usually start close to the enemy and gets killed quite easely this way. It should realy always start in the back, the same as archers. I suggest either giving the familiar more hit points or

Dwolf63 it has nothing to do with the file you are downloading. Maybe you could try to describe the problem a bit better. Have you tried to disable any virus protection software you have running? It takes quite a while for the file to extract after you start the installation, have you tried just waiting a while?

[quote who="Brillig" reply="4" id="2906126"]No worse than the mouthbreathers who started an underground campaign to lowball the game, most of them before they even played or pirated it.

I was one of those people who gave it a really low grade on metacritic. I was really really disappointed with this game as the Origina

Reply to Elemental - a look at the The Imperfect, the Unbalanced, the Exploit in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I agree on everything said here... especially on the tactical battles which has ruined the game for me. And i also see no evidence of the physics engine being used at all, which is quite a shame. I have stopped playing the game, and will come back to it once this has all been fixed, as I'm sure it will. A can't help but thinking that this game shouldn't have been released for another six month.

Reply to Tactical Battle Evolution in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="249" id="2692142"]The action point system is set up so that those with a high combat speed can basically go to down on others. We do not want to hook this up to endurance (strategic map movement) because the two aren't really related. The idea is that someone with a very high combat speed can do a lot of harm in a single tactical turn. But high combat speed is useless without attack power. You can be really fast and not be able to g

Reply to Tactical Battle Evolution in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Sethai" reply="224" id="2690532"]the current oversimplification of tactical battles reminds me distinctly of the oversimplification of battles in GC2. brad likes to think of his games as glorified board games in which all the numbers can be traced by the player almost as quickly as the computer comes up with them. this is a noble purpose, but it leads to some ridiculous situations. anyone could look at the GalCiv battles and notice that it didn't have any mechanics at all to demon

Reply to Elemental Beta 2-A Preview in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Looks like really nice changes! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] but now that the possibility for guarding choke points with cities is almost gone (I think its a bad idea to use cities like this anyway), I think it could be interesting if it was possible to build something like forts/defences. Maybe a fort could be made up of something like 1-4 squares that you choose. The bigger, the more costly. This would also put more emphasis on tactics and navel landings t

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar Announced! in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

When they say more ship components - do they mean cosmetic or are there more functional components as well. I must say i think one of the worst parts of the game is the lack of more functional components for the ships. Its nice to be able to make nice looking ships but it has no effect on the game at all. And im sorry to say its a bit stupid as this is only a single player game and noboddy see's the ships you build anyway (unless you post them in the forums). All i say is i

Reply to The value of a good defense? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

All of this shows a lack of imagination on the developers' part, as tried and tested theories of combat modeling were thrown out in favor of a rock paper scissors system that doesn't work and furthermore consumes most of the tech tree pointlessly. I have said elsewhere, and will say again, the MOO1 tech tree is the gold standard for such things, encompassing many different

Reply to GalCiv II: v1.1 preview in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

I hope there will be alot more ship components. More special weapons and armor. Right now weapon, engine and shield configuration is way too simple. How about adding weapons with ammo, and engines with fuel. And how about special equipment like drones, psychic weapons, jump drives and fightersbays. But i must say that update looks realy good </fo
