Economic lessons learned from GalCiv in War of Magic Elemental Forums

This is more a question at Stardock, but if anyone else whants to disscuss it please post. -I was wanting to know what lessons you learned from GalCiv(1+2)? More importantly, how will the economic system compare to that of GalCiv2? Now I'm a huge fan of both GalCiv 1 and 2, but I was always a big critic of how the economic system worked. I never liked how you had to pay for every unit of production/research. It always seemed to me that it defeated the purpose of getting a large produc

I think a dragons sheer physical size would prevent it from being a playable race...though in many fantasy settings dragons can take the form of other beings.

I'm not saying you should be able to recuit beasts like you can humans. I still think the units should be rare, just not all single soldiers that don't stand out on the battle field. Have a pack of trolls be a single unit. Sure there are a 10-20 of them, but that doesn't mean finding and recruiting that unit can be done easily or would be common place.

For dragons it certaily makes since that there should be only a few in the world, but to say trolls are as "rare" as dragons cheapens the value of dragons in my opnion. I don't know, I just think it would be better if you could recruit like a regiment of Lizardmen, or a clan of Minotaurs or something like that. I suppose I am thinking rigidly as I am u

Well the dragons are sentient, so you could also use diplomacy to get them on your side, rather than a spell of binding. It would be cool if you could bribe some particularly greedy dragons to join your cause!

Reply to Number of Races, Units and Spells in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Well from what I understand the different major faction are going to be very distinct from one another, so it won't be an issue, and from what I gather the various beast races make up "minor" factions in the game...not sure about that though.

/agreed, If they let you ride the dragons that would be incredible lol. From what I gather from the various previews and things regular soldies will be able to ride more things than horses, so It's not hard to imagine they would let the channeler ride a hired dragon....I can't wait for this game!

At the same time though, having those units be SOOOO rare (and most likly, irreplaceable) will end up making people too afraid of loosing that unit that they don't use it that much. It would seem like having just one or two extra-ordinary units will make them not that effective in large battles...thats just my opinion.

Im curious to see if they will play like the other heroes you can hire. If so, in atleast one game I play I want to have a dragon that i've channeled alot of my essence into and make him like...a super dragon or something like that. Who needs an army when you can have a dragon of god like power

Awesome, I really hope we will be able to use other races in our armies...though I read in one of the interviews that the battles would be 99% human vs. Human. I hope they don't stick with that, and add in alot of other races that can be used in your armies. Maybe this is where the custom races bit they mentioned comes in.

Reply to Just how advanced will technology get? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Personly I don't think gun's would ruin the "fantasy" element of the game. If the game implements them much like the Warhmmer universe it would add to the "fantasy" element I think. That being said, I still agree that they probably shouldn't be in the game. The problem...When factoring in the element of the tactical battles. Anyone who has play

Minor factions + other questions in War of Magic Elemental Forums

First of all, this is my first post on the Elemental forums, so Let me start off by saying that this game sounds amazing. As a huge Fan of the Civilization series, the Total war series, Fantasy games, RPG's in general, and all Stardock games this sounds like a game strait out of my own imagination. I've been hoping someone would make a combination of a Civ stlye game with epic Total War tacticle battles. Then I found out that

Account deleted? Lost? in Stardock Support General Stardock Forums

Ok, I just bought Political maching 08 from impulse. I installed it, and when I went to update it said my acount didn't exist. It says the same thing when I opened up stardock central. Please tell me my account isn't gone for good. Im going to be livid if I lost $200 worth of games for no reason.

Load Glitch/crash in Political Machine Stardock Forums

Ok, first I would like to say that when you are playing and load the game that the people who vote for you in each state fluctuates (never in your favor). This is extremely annoying and slightly game breaking. A friend of mine was barley winning a game, his game crashed, and when he loaded he was suddenly loosing. Thus he wasted all that time playing just because the game screwed him over on the load. Secondly, My game has started to crash whenever I load a game and now I can't play.

Is this supposed to happen? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, I had to update to 1.96 on stardock because impulse wanted me to uninstall the game first (i don't know why) and when I tried to do this through impulse it told me I was missing a file. So, I updated it though stardock, and it still says it's running 1.91 on the main screen. i don't know if it really is still on 1.91 somehow, or is just saying that. Is this a known issue or am I going to have to reinstall?

Reply to Strange Tech Problem in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

also the other versions work fine. Its just Twilight that I can't start up. This may not matter, but When I open up the Task Manager to close it, it says it's running version 1.92, but in Impulse/Stardock central it says its updated to 1.95, so maybe I just need to reinstall it. P.s. Sorry for the long run on sentence.

Strange Tech Problem in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, well I have the latest patch installed, but whenever I start a game it just goes to a black screen, and I can't play. Does anyone know what to do about this. I searched around on the forums but I couldn't find anyone else having this problem, so I decided to make a new post.
