Reply to Elemental: Day 0 is released! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"] As some of you know, starting in October I will be going on a sabbatical from my day job at Stardock (President & CEO) for a month or two so that I can spend my time making mods, getting better at Python (so that we can expose the AI APIs and Gameplay APIs to modders via Python) and focus on new AI ideas I’ve had while playing the game these past couple months (these updates to the game will be free of course).

Reply to Elemental: Day 0 is released! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I love the Resource notifications! Can we get Wisdom to affect Mana Regen AND be a level up stat? Also some of the spell descriptions need to be updated to match the current damage output (So we know what spells to research, the spellsbook in combat seems to be correct for all spells). Thanks, Sammual

They need to let you know what the adventuring research does because the descriptions are either wrong or there are bugs. Sammual

What determines a childs stats? Is it as totally random as it appears? I have had about 100 kids in the games I have played so far, most of them with the first female NPC I could find and most of them were much weaker then either parent. If I keep leveling the mother along with my soveregn the children seem to have a slightly better chance of good to average stats but waiting to marry until the female NPC gets to level 10 or so seems to increase the chance of powerful chil

[quote who="Stmorpheus" reply="15" id="2728058"]wait, in beta 4 each city that you had beyond your first had an increasing upkeep. every city you built started to cost more and more gold per turn. has this not translated to the final game?

Reply to [suggestion] Tone down the quantity of wandering monsters / random spawns in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Monsters don't spawn inside area controlled by nations. Monsters spawn in forests. Monsters spawns are triggered by advances in the Adventuring tree. Keep these things in mind when you place cities and when you are thinking about researching Adventuring. If you race up the adventuring tree before your area controlled surrounds the near by forests you get swamped by monsters. If you race up the adventuring tree after your area controlled surrounds the near b

Map Generation in War of Magic Elemental Forums

We know that "The land masses are taken from seed files." Looking at the seed files it appears that Land, Water, Mountains, Forests, and possible starting locations are fixed. Is any of this information modified durring map creation (Do the Mountains and Forests grow / shrink, or shift at all)? Will we be able to mod this in the future? How are Resources randomly placed, will we be able to mod this in the future? Thanks, Sammual

Reply to Dif level and no cost to build settlements? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I would like to see a Resource cost for founding a city (50 gold, 50 Material, 10 Metal) and a Mataince fee per city that goes up by the number of cities you have (First city costs 1 gold per turn, 2nd costs 3, 3rd costs 6, 4th costs 10, fifth costs 15, etc...). I believe this would slow down expantion and stop city spamming. Sammual

[Question] How do I setup my army so casters start in the back? in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Is there any way to order your army so the casters and ranged units are in the back and my melee units are in the front when the combat starts? I hate having to spend my first actions for my casters running away. Thanks, Sammual

[quote]Availability Now, one thing I think I can say (and I’m not promising this because all things are ultimately decided by the IT gods) but it is our plan to make the “gold” version of the game available a bit early to those in the beta and those who pre-order will also likely get it a bit early.
