Reply to EA Comes to Impulse! in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="Ron Lugge" reply="101" id="2371780"] Have any of you used it or do you just moan about it and distort the FACTS.... Actually, yes. Which is why I know that Suckrom has a habit of breaking internet explorer. (As in in created a situation where right clicking on something caused explorer to crash; I found a solution online that involved deactivating parts of SuckRom apparently designed specifically to prevent you from right click on stuff).[/quote] NWN2

Reply to Three most important games to remember in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Agree, I consider Alpha Centauri one of the best games ever made. I dig it out and play it at least once a year. The quotes were nice also, I remember one of them was someone from the University denying that research banned by the council was taking place. It really showed the University's pursuit of research above all else. Another thing about Alpha Centauri I liked was how changing the height of terrain was handled. You could drop land into the sea to make yo

Reply to New screenshot of magic research in Media section in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Nice. Looks like we can send spells as gifts. I wonder though, is Fireball a spell that was gifted on the current turn, or does the section hold all the spells that have been gifted and the Fireball on top is just the most recent one?. I also wonder what the sacrifice section is for(maybe permenantly lose a spell for a small amount of essence?). I also like that a multi-elemental spell combines effects of spells of different elements,in this case Earth Seed and Endle

Terrain Modification in War of Magic Elemental Forums

A very interesting bit from the IGN article: [quote]Another neat aspect of the game is that magic can literally reshape the world, raising mountains and more. This can be used defensively, so you might shatter an enemy army by having a volcano appear under them.[/quote] This makes me wonder if you can lower terrain so it is submerged or raise underwater terrain so it becomes land. If so then there are a ton of possibilities.

Nice article. The part about raising mountains makes me wonder if we can lower land so it becomes submerged or raise underwater terrain(which would open a ton of possibilities).

Reply to Weapon Techs and the Problems They Cause for Custom Units in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote]Unfortuantely, as SBM34 said, 9 times out of 10 cost doesn't matter much to the player, and the one time it does it becomes a huge headache. Thus, while there should be some use for older weapons, you need to walk a very fine line between pointlessness and such perfect balance (or even a tilt towards the older tech!) that the player has little incentive to research up the tree.[/quote] What about making the resources for older weapons more common than the ones required

[quote who="Spartan" reply="94" id="2333959"] That is exactly what I thought as well as to make sure the console market is not undercut by people who own both platforms choosing to get the PC version over it and there is also the pirate PC version vs console issue to consider.[/quote] I think that the problem is the PS3 version as I found this on the forums.

I am also looking forward to this game. I plan to buy it regardless of DRM. However, if I don't like the DRM it does have, I will hunt down a torrent of it to avoid the DRM and leave my retail disk in the box. Also, anyone else read the prequel novel? I found it very interesting and it left me wanting to know more about the Dragon Age world.

This is primarily due to our 'player progression' feature so everything can be tracked.

Reply to Boring Linear Tech/Spell Trees in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="4" id="2293072"] One of the best things about Alpha Centauri's research was that you could turn blind research off at the start of the game and be able to select what you want like in GCII and other games if you wanted to. GalCiv never had blind research. The tree UI in GC1 was hard to look around in, but you could figure out what was coming even if you had never played the game before.[/quote] Let me rephrase: Alpha Centauri research is like GCI
