Reply to Poll: Do we NEED Magical Damage Types? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="123" id="2424741"] Well yeah. A system like that would be ideal, but as I said in a previous post it is not practical in a computer game! I would prefer a system like the one you just mentioned, really - it allows for much more variety and many more options than different magical resistances does! However, without a human to manage such a system, it would be unwieldy if it even worked at all. Really I don't see why we're arguing at all, because

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="117" id="2424417"] To me that sounds like i shouldnt care about resistance, because i will never know which element i will encounter in the next battle. And since it is so expensive and hard to come by i better should invest in more troops or better weapons then in resis. So, in my reasoning Resistence is useless to care about. You'll never know which element(s) you'll be facing in your next battles? That's pretty short-sighted. One of th

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="102" id="2423382"] ... No, it really doesn't. For one, fire resistance isn't going to save you if somebody shoots you with a blast of ice, or lightning (under the assumption that lightning is air magic, but that can be neither here nor there). So sure, you go ahead and give all your units fire resistance. I'll sit over here and focus on my air and water magic, then laugh at you when your fire resistances accomplish nothing. Your second fa

Runes of Magic is good and free. Plays a lot like WoW IMHO. Personaly i like Aion the most atm. Great visuals, good gameplay and you really feel like you are something special. LOTRO for great graphics and well designed PVE content. City of Heroes. My alltime favorite. But only if you like superheroes.

Reply to Elemental: Tough love for beta 1B in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="16" id="2408621"] So wait, we have to harvest wood now? Not necessarily, our resource system is built around a 'BONUS' mentality, opposed to a 'CAN/CANNOT' system. The only resource you NEED is the required gold. Everything else either gets pulled from storage or gets factored into the otherall 'Time to Build'. So let's say a Watchtower has a base labor cost of 10 and requires 15 units of Lumber. If you have enough Lumber i

Reply to Designing units in Elemental discussion in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

In my opinion: If you create a unit for which you miss resources, the unit should be produced in the same time, but needs to cost more (just initial cost, not upkeep). The reasoning is that resources can be bought on the market and delivered to the smithy (or whatever). If you dont have a market (or a special market upgrade that makes it possible), you simply wont be able to acquire the needed resources and wont be able to produce the unit. To keep it simple i would ju

[quote who="Denryu" reply="21" id="2383469"]Frogboy a question I have been wanting to ask about GalCiv AI and since you brought it up... Were there significant AI changes between GC 2 and GC2 TWOTA? The reason is I did not buy TWOTA for the longest time thinking "How much could they have changed? How could it be worth the price?" Honestly if I remember correctly I ended up buying it to improve my odds at an alpha slot, lol. Anyway, it seems like the AI is much better in

Idea: You can give stars to your games in Impulse to rate them. If you would be able to mark games in Impulse as SP, MP or both, Sd could include a filter in RTP to let the user choose, which type of games to show.
