LotR were great movies.... but so many other books to movies were drastically changed it's made me hate hollywood. It's like the producers include their different ideas and tell the writers to take other ideas from the book(s) or whatever its original so

I find it simply amazing that this troll not only has all his teeth, but they are perfectly aligned!! Even the color of his teeth are quite nice being an off-white with slight yellow. The trolls in Elemental must have some type of awesome dental plan.

At this time I've been given the impression all the sovereigns will have only human form. I pray every night sovereigns will be allowed to have different shapes and sizes such as a gorgon, cyclops, titan, demilich, as well as the human forms yet only time will reveal the truth.

Reply to The AI SURPRISE! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote]We all know in most every game that ai is usually a pushover and we get so strong it becomes not much fun to continue on and boring.[/quote] Well as long as the victory point system is added as a victory condition then the gamers won't have to go thru finishing a game to the very end. This has allowed massive size maps to end with conquest victories in a timely fashion. I explain the victory point system in the Victory Condition thread:

Reply to On Victory Conditions: Old and New in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I think we should add the victory points system as well... this is quite popular for Dominions_3 by allowing very large maps to have a faster game ending. The victory points are special map locations, each providing anywhere from 1 to 5 victory points. It should be possible to place victory points in the map editor OR allow them to be randomly placed on the map. Example: An optional game setting allows to randomly place 20 locati

Reply to game mechanics, Turns and ending them. in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I would hope Elemental includes both the simultaneous turns and the classic long turns as game options. The simultaneous turns allow faster gameplay which is great for LAN and WAN games. The classic long turns are necessary for PBEM and HotSeat games. Both are important game options.

[quote who="moondoggiee" reply="11" id="2351600"]After playing E:TW's naval combat system, i have realized why ship combat has rarely been modeled in games. Its cause there is very little variety in terms of tactics and strategy. You either shoot each other at range or try to ram and board enemy ships.

Help Stardock on succession of vassal children (poll inside) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

From Kotaku review of Elemental: He (Brad from Stardock) did say that you could research potions in the game to make vassal family members more attractive so they’d be easier to marry off—but he wasn’t quite sure yet how the succession of children from a vassal marriage would work . So what's the opinion of the community on what to do with t

Reply to Space Empires as Inspiration in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

One thing I remember about the Space Empires diplomacy was the delay of turns. For example I send a peace agreement, they send a counter agreement, I accept the counter agreement, then they read my acceptance of the counter agreement. The problem here was only after "they read my acceptance of the counter aggreement" would space violence stop between the two players.... they'd be attacking my ships and vise versa. Several times they would accept the peace term

As far as I've read in the journals the AI personalities can be modded so we'll see multiple AI personalitiy types become available. As long as we can disable existing AI personalities then with time any player can include whatever personalitiy types they desire for their game. Thus providing games which match the interests of each individual who's willing to hunt the community mods for their favorite personality types.

Reply to Sea Dragons in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"]We know there will be dragons, and we know there will be oceans, so I think it'd be neat to have sea dragons, sea serpents, and other aquatic creatures that are sometimes recruitable. Like their land-based counterparts, they would likely be rare and powerful, but could add some variety to the oceans. I'm a little worried oceans will just end up "dead space" on the map, and not really have any part in the gameplay. This happens in a lot of games, though,

Reply to Different Fort Types for more strategy in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="landisaurus" reply="18" id="2342795"]I think I'd want to see more of what kind of strategy is available before I go about promoting change. I mean what does a "bonus" give in a tactical combat? You really have to discuss how units would use these features or how they would appear on the tactical map for them to be functional in Elemental. They'd be great as its written for Civilization, but it requires a lot more consideration for a tactic

[quote who="Lomion Agarwaen" reply="13" id="2341783"]What about building towers, forts, etc. outside of cities? I was hoping that you could build one in the pass through which enemies might easily come. That way you have the bonuses the tower grants? I guess this is similar to Starbases in GC2. Additionally, maybe walls could combined with towers as well. Think great wall of China. Not cheap to build, but it would give you a great tactical advantage or protect your small peac
