[quote who="BlackRainZ" reply="53" id="2977439"]I don't understand how this is a big deal? This is a mostly single player game. The AI does not use teleport, only the player does so just don't use it. You are ranting and raving about a ridiculous point. I am sorry but people complaining about this are just drama queens. If you think it is overpowered then just don't use it or set limitations on it for yourself and this does not require modding or anything else, just a little self

This is what happens when you start typing and then change the main point and the ending halfway through....I erased the beginning and endtext and then forgot to add back which game I was talking about. LOL is the answer to if War of Magic was released in a finished state. It classify as a fail.... The other, well it's the only one I don't know about.

[quote who="Zeta1127" reply="17" id="2975586"] At least there is one company that understands such ideals , unfortunately they were the very same people who came up with the ideals. On the other hand, EA has already killed two great studios in Westwood Studios and Pandemic Studios, because EA bought them out and dismantled them.[/quote] When I started typing this, I thought I was gonna win easily and that Stardock violated like five points.

[quote who="scifi1950" reply="212" id="2975110"] Derek -It looks like you've done a great job remaking EWOM into an interesting place. However, please see the one constant in all the reponses to your FE-Magic post. Magic can't be one of three focuses for FE to succeed. It needs to be the #1 focus. IMHO this is the main problem with EWOM. We wanted wizards battling with Magic (War of Magic). It's why we all played (still play) MOM! Whe

[quote who="Emperor_Nero" reply="22" id="2974955"]I play on a laptop, and as a college student I don't have the money for a high end desktop because I am paying for an education so I can eventually get one, I play strategy games because they're usually not memory hogs. I mean I am only working with 1 gig of ram (Yeah, I know.. WTF?) and an integrated video card, so when does it become a trade off between high-end eye candy and play-ability on lower end systems? On WoM I get these weir

If there is some kind of "Spellskill" like in Master of Magic or Age of Wonders II and it costs lots of mana then it might work. But why take such a chance..? Just cut it!

Speaking of memory and since RAM can't help videomemory and viceversa, then there's no stopping adding in beatiful extras for those of us with highend cards. Makes me remember Brad saying that there would be ShaderModel 4.0 stuff in War of Magic.... To make up for that I request some ShaderModel 5.0 things [e digicons]B)[/e] And while they're at it, Direc

Don't like it at all! Monopolies are dangerous and must be stopped. Having games on five different DD sites though....ugh!

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="6" id="2974078"]Still reads like fluff to me. Why bother with vague generalities like that? It doesn't say a thing to those of us who were around before the first WoM betas, nor does it seem to offer anything that might get the interest of someone who just now heard of Elemental. I'm not afraid of the sausage factory, but I'm not at all interested in what sausage factory reviewers might think. Basically, I'd rather not see Derek wastin

Ok, I'm disappointed. I've been watching Master of Magic games on youtube and playing some myself and the number of interesting spells in Master of Magic is FAR greater than in this PDF. I'm not entirely certain if Life, Death, Chaos

Reply to Dominions 3, Where to Buy? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Funny thing when I make posts sometimes. I know what I want to say, but since I think alot faster than I type, whole sentences are left out. It's fixed now though. However, I can give it one LAST try by getting the Dom III demo and trying that. If I had FRAPS and some such I'd record it and upload to my youtube channel. The language and style would like The AVGN.

Dominions III is not an awesome game. My experience is with the Dominions II demo.

I just uninstalled both BroodWar and StarCraft II and I haven't even gotten all the campaign achievements(!) I just don't have any desire to play them. Feel like playing alot of other games but not StarCraft. ....Feels like the end of an era to me....StarCraft was once my favorite game.

I believe he meant a printed manual. A PDF manual with updates where everything's explained (like in the Heroes V fanmade manual) would be excellent but wanting a 300page printed manual (like the AoW manual) is not realistic.
