[Suggestion] raw mana shards in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Now the shards seem to be aligned to an element from the beginning - earth, fire, etc. I would like to align them while building a temple because of 2 considerations. 1) I like to play comparatively small empires on big maps. If i can choose the mana types i like i can finetune my strategy, if i am not i am forced to expand beyond the limits i intended to, only to get the mana shard i need. 2) Specialisation. Sometimes i'd like to play the Fire Mage. I want to feel fir

I am all for the longer beta! Love the concept! But caution should be used not to make the game too complex - it would not do if only the beta testers would be able to play it. Having said that - i am really anticipating the long beta [e digicons]:grin:[/e] .

[quote who="Mistralok" reply="2" id="2088806"] I'm fine with this. It worked in GalCiv2, and it will work here, even in MP. I don't really care to have to micromanage battles. I'm so busy giving commands that I can't *see* what's happening; I get tunnelvision. Much nicer IMO to just sit back and be able to watch the battle play out- it's going to be a pretty good show I bet. [/quote] If you were right what about battle spells? Would they also be not unde

[quote who="Noctilucus" reply="16" id="2054590"]On the other hand I would think a lot of development time (and hence cost) would go to creating these tools that allow players to create their custom graphics for additional races - I'd rather see that time being spent on game mechanics I would already be happy with something like the custom race creation in GalCiv II: a wide variety of parameters to fiddle around with, without any need for custom graphics (I'm obviously talking abou

Reply to What spells do you want to see? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I am quite a builder and a roleplayer at heart, so often while playing strategy games i was very upset to see that you (the player) are able to wield enough power to cast something like an army- and country destroying armageddon spell, but are not powerful enough to turn this pesky swamp right at the center of your domain into something useful, like a plain or forest, let alone destroy a mountain. This one resource you need desperately? Your arcane power riv

Reply to What about this sort of army customization? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Quicksilver was not a reference to a company which... tried... to make a moo2 successor, but a pnp character of mine, the first one to reach immortality in a very long running Dnd 2 edition campaign. Way before the word "Quicksilver" came to be associated with less enjoyable matters.

Reply to Anyone else think its a mistake to let the game end when your wizard dies? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

In the beginning I was opposed to the idea of losing the game if your channeler dies, but now i think it might be an interesting mechanic if managed right. Managed right means: come on and try to kill him. i.e. It should be really, really hard, and not only because he is so powerful - going for a walk alone and meeting one or two dragons would probably be enough to off even a mighty channeler, it should be hard because he could/should be prepared. For example: everyone gets ei

Reply to Will there be an underground level with caves and caverns? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Though i also do not want to have a half baked rpg on our hands, we do have heroes, our channeler being among them, and fantasy world with caves, castles, lairs and dungeons. I would really expect and want to have some quests revolving around- and exploration of abovementioned. In which form it would be remains to be seen, although i personally would not object, in fact would appreciate something in line with HoMM-caves, where only heroes could enter, i can see it could

Reply to What about this sort of army customization? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yes! Please put in genders, body types/races customisation, different hairstyles, age etc. Very important for me also! If i am going to create my own race/people/civilisation whatever (and i will) i really need these options. How else can i have my flying panther riding warpriests of Quicksilver supported by a cohort of all-female winged spellcasters? Btw this post is not sarcastic. I am serious. edit: also "themes" for civilisations -oriental, steampunk

harder to eliminate experienced units in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Maybe it is a bit early to write it but i am going to assume we will be getting only a few heroes, beast units, and really experienced troops in a game. (Was confirmed sort of at least about beast units and is probably a good guess in case of heroes) If i will lose a lvl x hero i spent hours upon hours on building up i will reload the game. I assume most players will do the same. It is not something i enjoy doing but if the choice is between my precious hero or replaying the l

Reply to Anyone else worried about combat? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I have played most strategy games on the market since the times of civilisation 1 and dune 2 and always enjoyed turn based more than real time, although i can see appeal of both. The major negative points in RTS/ positive in TBS for me: - TBS it is usual to have truly different and valuable units with different experience and equipment. - rts: mostly identical units, one marine in Starcraft is identical to another, no levels, equipment or something else to differentiat

quote from Iztok "IMO in DL yes, in DA not" unquote Thank you, i read the explanation in wiki and now i understand that the feeling to get less tiles in DA than in DL from terraforming -or the instant terraforming- i often play neutral, was in fact right. Darn. Okay, then i will have my superdiplomats again. Thanks to everyone for their answers and still interested in more.

planet quality bonus trait 10% 20% is it worth it? in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Hallo have not posted in a long time, but am still playing the game and lurking on the boards. One question though: i really like to have more place on my planets, so +20% planet quality is often found among my traits, although the 8 points are a whole lot and do hurt. Reading the forums i have yet to find someone who also uses it, and i myself am not sure if these points would not be better spent on other traits . So your thoughts about the trait and its usefullness/ strategies to implement alo

Planet quality perk not calculated properly in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hallo! First things first - great game, lots of fun, thank you for it. Now to the problem: If i am using a race with a bonus 10 or 20 % to planet quality, the home world is calculated correctly - 11 or 12 instead of 10 and there are 11 or 12 green tiles on the planet. Now if i colonize a planet let's say PQ 10 it does correctly show up as 11 or 12 afterwards, but there are only ten green tiles there - either the perk doesn't work as inte
