You can balance with 1. Losing population to create summoned creatures so that nations withs lots of summoned creatures are smaller (less taxes, resources++) 2. Paying essence for each 3. Paying money (upkeep or inital cost while casting) 4. Mana upkeep ++++ Lots of ways to make the summons not too über

Reply to Living lairs? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I would like living/dynamic lairs as well. Not just the Majesty thingie, but lairs that evolve over time. Leave that spider cave alone long enough and some super-duper-fire-spider-queen (trademark) might appear :) This is in the area of my most important wish for Elemental (and CIV). I would love if there is a possibility for nations to form based on barbarians during the game and not be locked to the ones starting it. If part of a map is left alone for a while, then ma

Thanks Thormy [e digicons]1*[/e] I will buy a full bundle of this game sometime during the autumn. Great feeling to support someone who is actually making new stuff for the PC.

Reply to Auctions & No Tech Brokering mechanics in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I would like bidding for mercenaries. They offer themselves to the players and you would have a certain number of turns to make a blind bit for their services. Their services could be limited to 50 turns or something. This could vary. In other words. A high bid is paying to become mighty in short term in order to achieve a quick goal. Like attacking some creature that will ensure casualties, attacking thy neighbour and such. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

I really like this idea. There would have to be some balancing here, but that applies to every feature. In order of creating a man eating giant one would have to use lots of effort (getting rare resources, researching expensive spells, paying lots of money and the like). Maybe even the sacrifice of ones own population. "Put that farmer inside that boiler there and I will make him an assasin goblin in no time" [e digicons]}:)[/e]

Reply to Epic President: “The Money’s On Console” in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="22" id="2622185"] Based on the amount of horrible, watered-down multi-platform games these days released on PC, piracy has already killed PC gaming. Now we have console gaming, just you play on your PC. Sure, certain genres remain alive and well, but on the whole we’re stuck with what can be done on those glorified DVD players.[/quote] You are too defensive. There are still CIV V and Elemental on the horizon. Try those on a cons

I havent actually bought this game yet, but I suppose I will when I get a new and faster laptop. Did the 1.04 do much improving of the game? Does anyone have any experiences with it?

Sword of the Stars - I am a bit lost in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Hi there! I finally caved in and bought Sword of the Stars (with a couple of expansions). I have looked at a couple of tutorials and played for an hour or two. I have a few questions that I would like to ask the great ppl of this forum: 1. My first planet (the one I start with) is always awsome and can produce a couple of ships a turn from the start. Is there any reason not to spam colonyships (with tank ships) from the start? 2. The planets that I colonize have

@Strager - have you seen Pinky and The Brain? The Frog is like The Brain, he is taking over the world (or at least he tries every day). That means that he owns Stardock and in order to punish his investors he needs to spank himself :)

Reply to Scratch Civ V off my buy list. in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

@KickACrip - Thanks for the post. Could be usefulfor some. It doesnt really address the problem that many have with the forced connection between the game and Steam. Why can I not choose if I want to be part of a community when I buy a game? I am single player only and dont care about anything that Steam has to offer. All I need is a patch or two which doesnt really call for a consistent client on my PC.

Reply to Scratch Civ V off my buy list. in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

According to the Frogscale I am a 1 and 3. I might make my own Steam thread when CIV V comes out. I have no experiences with Steam, but I dont like the fact that some games require the steam client installed. I would document every step from installation, paying, playing, updating and so on. We will see. I will first read reviews of CIV V carfully as I will not taint my PC with both Steam and a mediocre game.

Reply to Scratch Civ V off my buy list. in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

"The Steam happy people" seems to miss the point of the "The Steam not so happy people" The problem is not that it is on Steam, its that it is Steam only. You have to install the Steam software even if you buy it at Gamestop. This is what many have a problem with. Many players play single player only and dont want the Steam functionality. The "Steam only" thing also raises the question of Steam getting too much market power. When huge games like CIV V comes
