Reply to Roads, Fortress and the Great wall on the Strategic Map in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

This track idea is very compelling, but my guess is that if you present this to the programmers of Elemental they will have your hide. Can you imagine all the computing power and programming needed to compute and save data on all movements on all tiles during a full game? And then based on this draw tracks and give upgrade to speed. If a large army makes tracks on one pass, then most of the map would be tracked pretty fast. Your other ideas are interesting :)

Reply to Evaluating combat Risk in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

No no no - you are on the wrong path people :) Dont join the dark side... These odds cannot be calculated. They can in CIV IV cause its all based on known values, but not in Elemental. If we are going to control our army in any way during the battle (think Heroes of Might and Magic or even as a little RTS game) then its not possible to calculate. A good player will always have better odds than som calculation based on AI settings. A scout skill that reveal the n

Reply to too unstable for much meaningful feedback in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I guess this is to be expected at this stage. They are working hard on eliminating crashes, the economic system, the 3D engine+++ We just have to be patient, discuss concepts with the frog and report errors repeatedly. This wasnt supposed to be fun yet :)

Reply to Dragon Age Reviews Are Coming In in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

On impulse the game is about 300 NOK (norwegian kroner), in the shops here its 400 NOK. Since impulse Dragon Age is North America only, i cannot get it on impulse. But I sure aint paying 33% extra for it either. I might buy it when I buy a new rig in the spring.

Reply to [Suggestion] Advanced Late Game Cities in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I like this if it comes at a cost. In addition to normal essense cost (or whatever the city cost is today) you could pay a certain amount of gold/resources to make a city with some prebuilt infrastructure. It would also be nice if such a city got a head start by moving 2% of your total population to it. Other cities would contribute with some of their people to give the new city a booming start.
