Reply to Master of Magic in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

After reading this thread I now have to play through a game of MoM Funny how a game so old remains better than the vast majority of games that come to market these days.

Reply to Major changes to city building? Noooo in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="11" id="2654928"] Mr. Frog said in a recent journal that city building would be getting some big changes, and basically there will be a lot less stuff to build. I am hoping I misunderstood, but I really don't like that idea. There isn't less stuff to build. We are greatly reducing repetitive building (unlimited gardens, multiple workshops, multiple studies, etc.). In XML, we can, literally, define how many of a given improvement you get per cit

[quote who="Xtropy" reply="6" id="2654638"]Maybe wait for the update to see the changes before saying "Noooo"? I'm sure there will be plenty of things for you to build, and as Tridus says, half the stuff isn't even in the game yet.[/quote] I like to say Nooo or sometimes NooOOOoooOoo Anyway, I just wanted to voice my opinion and make sure they know there is a segment who enjoys carefully crafting large cities. The way it is now is enjoy

Major changes to city building? Noooo in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Mr. Frog said in a recent journal that city building would be getting some big changes, and basically there will be a lot less stuff to build. I am hoping I misunderstood, but I really don't like that idea. There are different segments that will buy this game who enjoy different aspects - some just want to get units and do combat, some want the magic, some want... well you get the idea. I hate the idea of only having a handful of city improvements to choose from. <

[quote who="kryo" reply="2" id="2654504"] When he comes back to life he should only have 1 hp You already do respawn with 1HP (it takes two or three turns to heal to full). Also, each time you respawn you lose essence, which is needed to found cities in the wastes, and (though these are disabled in this build) to imbue champions or cast the most powerful spells. As you can only get more essence by leveling up, you'll only ever have a limited amount of it and wasting it li

My beta feedback thread in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I figure I'll just keep adding posts to this thread as feedback occurs to me, rather than have a new post every time. --I don't like how the sovereign can die and then go right back out and attack a mob the next turn. I used this to cheese some units near my city just charging them over and over again as they were not healing in between turns. I'd like to see some kind of city add-on that is early in the magic research tree that is basically called 'Rejuvenation Chamber

Reply to Elemental: BETA 2 Tour in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Edit: Nevermind - thanks Shivax that makes sense. "Beware, armies are not stacks. They fight together as a single combined arms unit" Can someone explain this to me, because I have no idea what it means.

[0.302][Feedback] Something missing in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I play the beta, and it feels like something is missing. Obviously, the magic system hasn't been implemented yet, and that will be a big piece of the pie, but even with no magic system I enjoyed MoM. Some thoughts: --In MoM I liked that every few turns some cool hero would show up at my court and I would be able to decide if I wanted him or not. I also liked the variety of heroes to choose from and how different they were. I would always take any hero that was 'noble' f

Reply to [.295][Feedback] Kingdom Economy in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Last build this happened to me everytime I had more than 6 cities. Your 'city upkeep' skyrockets whenever you have more than 6 cities it seems. city upkeep goes from something like 27 at 5, 97 at 6, and several hundred at 7 though i haven't checked how much this has changed with the new build.

Reply to Help with economy plz in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I guess I figured out what my problem was. Once you make a 6th city your 'city upkeep' costs go sky high afterwards. The fact that population generates no tax income makes it hard to pay the bills. But if you make a 7th and 8th city right now, you will be paying huuuge upkeep costs. Wonder when taxation will be going in.

I had loaded several save for this game no problem, and then they just started crashing me. I updated to .291 before i created this game (i just started this game today) Relevant part from debug.err makes it look like it has started saving the game for version 28 instead of .291 somehow.

I still haven't figured out how to build a road. I built a tax office when it became available. It provides 1 gold/turn... but shouldnt i be earning taxes based on my population total somehow?

[quote who="Madmelodie" reply="1" id="2550321"]I theorize, though I don't know for sure, that it's crashing because you're about to have a kid. I've gotten married every time, and it's always a little while after the marriage. [/quote] You could be right. I crashed just a few turns after getting married as well - too bad can't load save games.

Reply to I don’t hate the console, I just like PC games more in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Wait... what? rpg?? What setting is it going to be? Please put in an action combat system, and not another tiresome slow combat rpg. Mass effect 2 was so refreshing because it used a fun combat system, and so was borderlands. Im sick and tired of developers deciding rpg combat should be slow and boring.
