Reply to Elemental just isn't a fun game in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote who="alborrelli" reply="15" id="2914987"] Quoting charon2112, reply 7My question is: Once FE comes out, what reason is there to ever play WoM again? Apparently they're supposed to be two completely different games. Read recent Dev Journal. EWOM is the empire building goodness we were all wanting ('cept it's not good) and FE is something entirely different. It's why I've been bitching for a while that because of FE, it's as if they'

Reply to Harbor placement bug in WOM Support Elemental Forums

What you are seeing is fairly common. I don't think much attention has been given to harbors. Hopefully, that will be addressed soon.

Reply to Harbours in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote who="Gaston_DAoust" reply="3" id="2907069"]The spell that Sethai mentions is called 'erosion', which is a level 3 spell. In order for the harbour to be built, the harbour needs to connect between the city and water so there needs to be one tile (or slightly less) between the city and the water. If the tile is not a sandy beach but a cliff, the erosion spell will turn the cliff into beach. Building a harbour is a little quirky so ypu need to be careful about placement and make sure

Wishlist for 1.3 (and beyond) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

1.2 is almost wrapped up. We have had some hints about what 1.3 will include with respect to updates. And since ideas/wishlists are scattered all over the place, I started this thread to try and have one place to list ideas we would like to see/see addressed in future versions. Here's my list: Improved Caravan Management Updated Store interface More use of ships (add resource gathering capabilites, increased movemen

Brad, Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions (so often!). I think I can speak for others here when I say if we didn't really care about this game and have at least some level of emotional attachment to it, we wouldn't harp on the aspects we think it needs. Each of our pet wishes for this game are the things that we think will really improve the game and help move it from good to great. If we thought EWoM was a lost cause, we would hav

Yup, that the way it is and it stinks. It's a shame too, because this aspect of the game has such potential. Also, I don't recall seeing any indications that this is going to be fixed/improved in later versions/forks.

[quote who="Vandenburg" reply="34" id="2896851"] I personally had no problems with it. I don't remember any particular proliferation of problems with it being reported. You should probably make a thread about the problems you had so that Stardock will be made aware of those issues. Caravans. For example. I shouldn't have to go through every town to find out, which caravan just got destroyed. Hero equipment and the shop. That doesn't have to be explained, does
