Reply to Would you really make choices that up the DC? in Sorcerer King Discussion SorcererKing Forums

[quote who="Nargaff" reply="3" id="3501423"] I too don't care for more doom. I'm playing on Insane and the Doom counter hardly goes past 50%. [/quote] Well the game is in early beta... But you are correct, once you find the SK's location, the DC can't go fast enough to be an issue.

Reply to Outpost doesn't always attack enemy unit in Founders Innovation SorcererKing Forums

[quote who="Thormodr" reply="5" id="3501015"] ASAIK, outposts have a base attack of 1. When you upgrade them to attack 1 they get a base attack of 4. Attack 2 is 8 and attack 3 is 16. [/quote] Thanks! So, a basic outpost DOES have the ability to inflict damage! [e digicons]:)[/e] I stand by my OP!

Juggernaut pic in combat summary is a silhouette in Founders Innovation SorcererKing Forums

In the battle summary screen where you choose between tactical combat or auto-resolve, the jugg's pic is just a silhouette. BTW: I beat the SK!! It was a classic down to the wire situation, the doomsday clock was just a few ticks away from permanent midnight and my manna reserves were almost zero when i finally found him. If it wasn't for a bunch of scrolls I saved, I would have been toast. OT: I had both keys, but when I tried to enter, a

Shouldn't an outpost have a base attack without an upgrade?

[quote who="HenriHakl" reply="7" id="3500948"] I strongly advocate spells that are more than just variants of damage (Wall of Fire, Meteor Strike, Tsunami, etc are fun spells and have pretty visual effects, but they don't really change strategic decisions that I make on a fundamental level).

Best school fund raiser ever. in Life, the Universe and Everything Stardock Forums

My son is going to another school dance tonight. They hold 4 per year, and they charge the students a $5 admission. They also have concessions available to purchase, so figure another $5 for that. The dance is held for only 2 hours. There are about 1,000 students, most of which attend. So the school takes in about $10,000 per dance. The teachers voluntarily chaperone the event, so the only cost to the school is the electricity in the gym, and maybe some overtime for the janitors. <br /

Outpost doesn't always attack enemy unit in Founders Innovation SorcererKing Forums

I usually set up outpost right next to a shard. I would expect that when an enemy unit approaches, or attacks a shard, the outpost would attack the unit. This doesn't always seem to happen.

[/quote] Well, you really can't baby sit the cities even if you wanted to because the only way to reduce unrest is to cast the "reduce counter" spell. So, the cities are on a linear path to uselessness regardless.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="16" id="3500631"] That's not how it plays out at all. Not to mention, that would be really unwise since you would be stuck, at best, with crummy units. [/quote] But the sooner you produce a unit, the sooner it can level up, and the sooner you can find treasure to craft items to buff the unit. You don't necessarily need paladins, battle mages or pikemen. Although if you have metal and crystal nearby, you can produce those units

Reply to Sorcerer King Beta: Week 2 in Sorcerer King Dev Journals SorcererKing Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="3500593"] Unrest doesn't affect production. [/quote] Ok, so unrest effects logistics. And a reduction in logistics is a reduction in production capacity. That is, the rate of production doesn't change, but the total volume of production decreases with an increase in unrest So, it still makes it imperative to pump out the units before the counter gets beyond a certain point.

Reply to Sorcerer King Beta: Week 2 in Sorcerer King Dev Journals SorcererKing Forums

The reason behind the unrest makes sense, but because it's tied directly to the dooms day clock, it means that by late game, your production drops to near zero. Which is fine except that means you really have to find and defeat the SK before the counter reaches 50%, which will make it even more of a rush to the finish game than it is already. With the unrest mechanic, you can no longer spam pioneers, so now the strategy will be to spam combat units ASAP, and then forget about the

But I worry because Brad seems to be completely enamored with Civ V style streamlining. IMO, that game is souless, and about as engaging and emmersive as a door knob. And I don't want SK to go in that direction.

In GC2, when you opened a dialog with a minor, you saw a picture of the being your were conversing with. Doing the same for SK, IMO, would add to the immersion.

[/quote] Ok, then I'd like to suggest for a branch to be added to the sovereign's skill tree that would allow him to learn additional spells beyond the current hard limit. It would function in a similar way to the branch that increases the maximum number of spells to be cast in battle or the branch that increases the maximum number of units allowed in a stack.

[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="3" id="3500115"] I believe it is a design feature to make choosing spells matter. In other words, when you see a spell you want, grab it then or you may not see it later. I believe they implemented this to eliminate the "player will eventually research everything" syndrome. I like the direction of this. Of course I could be wrong; maybe it is a bug. [/quote] Thanks AlLanMandragoran, That would make sense, although I don'

Reply to Forge of the Overlord in Sorcerer King SorcererKing Forums

[quote who="thimon2k" reply="1" id="3500032"] With 800 years it should be expected that innovation has taken place e.g. it might mean that a method has been developed that can minize your 'Forge of the Overlord' into something portable. With a war between the Sorcerer King and the rest of nations (Gilden, Altar, Pariden etc.) innovation has probably been increased. One of these innovations might be a pocket size Forge of the Overlord. W<span style="font-size: 10

Ran out of spells to lean again, but I'm sure there were more in Founders Innovation SorcererKing Forums

In my current game, I have no more spells to research. I know this because the "chose a new spell" page is coming up blank, each time I reach a lore milestone. The problem is, I am certain that I haven't learned all of the available spells (or those that should still be available to learn) For example, I never chose sacrifice, so it should keep on popping up as an available spell to lean, ...until I choose it. However, even that spell has dis
