Reply to [Seems OK] Running on XP-64 in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

[quote who="Raven X" reply="10" id="2385497"]I'm running XP Pro 64 and all seems pretty well here too. So a game that's going to take so much advantage of multi-core processing and 64 bit operating systems won't come with XP Pro 64 support? I'm rather shocked and dismayed now... [/quote] XP64 has little or no support at all. Drivers are sketchy at best. It has serious compatibility problems also. Vista x64 is the way to go, or windows 7 in the future.

Reply to BETA 1 Series: What We're Looking For in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

[quote who="veraxus" reply="13" id="2385230"]Bummer, I can't run it on my netbook due to insufficient vertical resolution (which has a maximum resolution of 1024x600). [/quote] Hm...check your monitor settings. Maybe there is a "display unsupported modes" setting or something.

Reply to [Bug] Crash During Intro in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Raven, just a side note - you should "upgrade" your OS imo....XP x64 is not the best choice to be honest. Vista x64 with SP1 is much better...:) [Especially if you work on it with vlite. Vlite can do wonders...my x64 Vista is hella fast, and it's only a 1.5Gb install now compared to the ~4Gb original install size. - You basically remove the unnecessary parts with it. Yeah..it works like a Linux install...;)]

Reply to Playing on After Soverign death in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"]Now that we know a smidgen more about heirs/families I think I'd like at least the choice to play on as one of my children if "I" die. Especially if I engineered some good ones.. [/quote] I completely agree...this "system" works like a charm in the various KOEI games.

[quote who="arstal" reply="3" id="2383903"]I don't care if the AI looks like it's cheating, as long as it isn't doing anything I can't do, provided I can turn down the difficulty if required. [/quote] Indeed. I won't mind if my butt will be kicked at high diff. levels. Because LOOSING.IS.FUN! Oh boy....this Dwarf Fortress quote is legendary already? :D

Gameplay features, balance & the AI in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I was just reading the interview with Frogboy [Shacknews], and I've found this part very interesting: "The marriage thing I was talking about. Let's say throughout the game I've maintained a relatively modest empire. I don't seem very powerful at the base of it. But throughout the game I've been breeding my daughters, for lack of a better word, that have high beauty, which makes them very desirable to various players. So I have slowly become a major part of everyone else's family, so

Reply to The lazy AI developer in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I think that Kohan was the first game which had different AI personalities. [Plus you could create new AI personalities also via coding/scripting]. It was fun...as I remember some player created a very good AI, it was much better than the vanilla AIs..even the devs admitted it. :D Anyways, I really like this topic. Hopefully Frogboy and the team will create some asskicking AIs....because that is what we need. Not that I won't play multiplayer games, but I also like singleplayer.

Reply to -- Survey -- Stardock requested System Specs in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I have x64 Vista + 8800GT OCed gfx card -> no graphical problems..as for crashes/memory errors etc. I don't know. I haven't played that much with this build, because the save/load system is heavily bugged also. I am waiting for the next version. Hopefully the save/load system will work perfectly. :)

Reply to ELEMENTAL SCHEDULE: STATUS in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

[quote who="porternielsen" reply="42" id="2382042"]There was much rejoicing. I have stopped testing the current build because everything I find seems to already be posted, and though semi fun I would rather spend my time on some of stardock's completed games like Sins. Waiting until thursday! [/quote] Yep, same here. I am waiting for the next version also. :)

Reply to ELEMENTAL SCHEDULE: STATUS in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

[quote who="TucoBenedicto" reply="38" id="2381441"]Well, let's wait for it, cause Initial Build is a mess with very little to test. [/quote] Mess or not, we've reported many bugs at least. That is the purpose of the current build. It's an engine/basic test, nothing more.

Reply to Factions & Races in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="astrath" reply="7" id="2380295"]It fits with the lore only to have these factions. Just go with the standard SD mantra - if you don't like it, mod it. [/quote] Correct. However, there is a problem. It won't be easy to create 3d models for the various creatures. I don't have any 3D modelling experience of course, but I can imagine that it's not easy. The question is: How many Elemental players will have the skill to create these 3D models?

Reply to Just how similar to MoM in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Raven X" reply="9" id="2379426"]Agreed Tormy-. MoM will never "Die". It will always be recognized by us old schoolers as a Classic and Legend in it's time. It's very true that AoW2 was a good successor, just as Elemental will be a even greater successor to both Mom and AoW2. I do believe Elemental will be the new King of this genre, but people will never forget the classic that started it all. [/quote] Absolutely...the game is in the right hands. Stardock actually car
