Reply to Hero Leveling - Dex? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="2" id="2937904"]I do Charisma builds. Why? Prestige boost and maximize ZOC's asap via level 3 cities - eliminate monster spawns. When I'm ready for the level 5 cities, stack the charisma heroes together and voila, 20+ prestige boost to targeted city. It's the build I've landed on and enjoy.[/quote] I thought that the Charisma based prestige boost was disabled? Did it get turned back on and if so, what version? If it

I really like the Fishmarket mod. I am shocked that the AI even knows it's there, much less uses it. That is impressive.

[quote who="EternalRequiem" reply="29" id="2934406"]There's a mod being worked on now to differentiate the factions more now to make them more unique. Still there are area's that are lacking in WOM that can be worked on further. Just hope for the next patch update 1.3 because that's where a lot more new content will be coming.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="57" id="2933410"] Quoting Alstein, reply 53Curious about something- would it have worked if you made the design and then made the engine fit the design? It never works that way. Talk to someone who worked on Master of Orion 3. You have to have the engine and then you make the game for the engine. If you want to boil down WOM's teething problems into a very very simplistic summary it's that we thought we co

I heard Disney World is really really large but has roughly the same number of attractions as Disney Land (where I've been a few times) - is this true? [/quote] Well, considering there are 4 theme parks and 2 water parks at Walt Disney World and only two parks at Disneyland, I would say that the number of attractions is greater at WDW.

Brad knows the answer better, but besides restructuring the design flow and bringing Derek on for some pro management help, one big step we'll be taking (once the game is feature complete and we're onto the 'polish stage') is making use of 'pre-reviews'. What game developers can do is hire reviewers

[quote who="Gaston_DAoust" reply="1" id="2923984"] ... With this in mind, sometimes you may need to cast the erosion spell more than once.The key is having one full contiguous tile, otherwise you won't get a harbour. Be persistent and keep trying.

Erosion spell not working in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I am trying to use the Fish Market mod and am having the usual "can't build a harbor" issue with all my cities, even though a couple of them have a beach tile in their ZOC. I have tried using the erosion spell that is supposed to turn cliff into beach and I cannot get it to work anywhere. Any ideas? I am bound and determined to make a use of harbors and ships. (I'm not really sure why.) I do really like the idea of the Fish Market app.</p

I for one would rather create a new account with Gamestop rather tha
