[quote]Eriksons magic is that in some battles, even with mages on both sides, there's practically no magic, and all the fighting is done by soldiers. The reason for this, is that be mages are cancelling each other out, neither side able to do anything because the others will cancel you. It makes for balancing of armies, or even for armies dependant of pure mages , although I doubt occupation should be able to be done without soldiers.[/quote] Mages canceling spells from other mages wo

[quote who="Bingjack" reply="7" id="2326072"] NWN was certainly driven by its multiplayer, as the single player game was very weak. BG technically had MP capability, but it was not known for that, and the mods created for that game were driven by the SP game. And your "people don't make mods for Single Player Games" assertion is not supported by the evidence. One only has to take into account the daunting list of mods made for Oblivion

[quote who="Hortz" reply="1" id="2326569"]It will all come down to the quality of animations, how detailed and fluid they are and if the unit is upgraded(class or spell wise) will it have new upgraded animation and other effects concurrent with every upgrade, like lighting and such(Diablo 3 is a good example here). Animation is different from graphics, for example Resident Evil 4 has poor graphics for today's standards but it has such excellent animations that surpass even today's

Spell List for Elemental (well probably) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I know many of us are eagerly awaiting to hear more news about Elemental so I thought I'd organize a list of spells which will probably be in the game based on screenshots. Feel free to allow your imagination to provide spell descriptions. Hope this provides fans with a temporary drug fix until the alpha/beta testing begins: 1) Rain of Fire 2) Shield of Life 3) Lingering Death ========Below are&nbsp

I have mixed feelings about DA:O ... I do like how it's more tactical like BouldersGate, but sad there's no multiplayer such as what was available in BouldersGate or Neverwinter Nights. The majority of content creation comes from the multiplayer community... so while there's a better a game editor it will never come near providing as much user made content, areas, and modules as what we see with Neverwinter Nights. I'll probabl

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! [/quote] I'm sure the developers will still provide an occasional screenshot and progress updates. Obviously any forum members on the Alpha testing will be silent.

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="2" id="2323774"] And yes the size of the chessboard affects strategic options, I can't disagree with that. But I'd also argue that a 10,000x10,000 chessboard wouldn't really make chase more strategic than a 1000x1000 chessboard, for the same reason that increasing the size of a map in a game like Elemental wouldn't make it more strategic. The human mind is not capable of dealing with such vast quantities of information. With a small board an e

These are both TBS games and the main differences is one has only two players, fixed amount of units, no diplomacy, no magic, no structures, etc., etc., which are all extra variables which reduc
