Reply to Caster units in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I would love to see caster units other then the players and heroes but the game world (Lore) does not seem to support this. I like options, cheap 'firepower' squads of Combat Mages that are just overpowered archers, Priests that can Heal and Bless, Magi that have a small spellbook (Expensive and fragile mini-Heroes) would all be nice. If I can lower the cost of the Magi by giving them only 2 spells each and having each one have a single task and then Nuking then I might rather t

[Bug?] Desynce Detected makes games unplayable for hosts. in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

The two games I have hosted where a player became 'Desynced' for a few sec were unplayable as the host as a large window pops up every 3 sec that makes every other button in the game un clickable. Even after the problem is fixed and that player is back in sync and killing me I can do nothing but click on the error message ever 3 sec. Sammual

Reply to [Balance] The Rook in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

[quote quoting="post"] The Rock is seriously lacking in all regards. [/quote] I disagree. He starts off underpowered but once you get him equiped and leveled he is OK. 'Bowling for coins' is one of the best abilites in the game. Longest range stun in the game, does great damage as well (Hom many other stuns in the game do damage?) Rock is insane when defending within the range of the Tower of Light chain. Rock is almost useless outside t

Reply to 'Find the Stardog' Hunt Begins! in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

[quote who="wulfn1" reply="18" id="1978271"]I have a suggestion for the competition. When you get to a page with a clue, instead of getting rid of the dog when there's a winner, how bout putting a new message there, stating the game is won instead of having to constantly go backto the stardog webpage to see? It gets tiresome hunting for clues that have disapeared. [/quote] Not only that but on my PC if I go back to the main page I have to start over and go through all

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="1975662"] We like eye candy. [/quote] Everyone likes eyecandy. I am a big fan of dynamic, procedural, physics based animation. Take a look at http://www.naturalmotion.com/euphoria.htm for the best useable example I have seen. The problem is scope and scaling. Unless this is a core feature that will replace the standard animations everywhere I can't see it being worth the cost in terms of programming

Reply to Integrated physics in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"] In Elemental there is no such thing as a knight or a wizard or an archer. Instead, players design their own units. If you wanted to call a unit a knight, you might take a man, equip him with some armor, give him a helmet, arm him with a sword, and pair him up with a horse.[/quote] I like this method of unit construction. [quote quoting="post"] The armor, helmets, swords, etc. are things you manufacture and thus have some control o

[quote who="Ke5trel" reply="20" id="1964627"] That's sort of why I don't like the "All hail the frog!" movement. Like I said, I have the utmost respect for Brad and what he does and is known for, and especially his no-BS attitude, but it feels wrong that people who aren't always in that much public light but do work no less important get little similar recognition.
