Reply to Things I Would Like To See Before Feature-Lock in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="2" id="2677217"] quoting post Not big changes, but minor tweaks: A way to reload without exiting the game first. I'm almost positive that will be in the final version. IIRC, that was done only for beta testing to minimize out of memory crashes. An explanation as to why you apparently can't talk to some NPC's (the dialogue balloon is crossed out). <br /

[Beta-3A][Bug][Freeze] Game froze and game slow down in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Nothing specific happened. Was just moving and game froze. Could not exit, had to do a hard restart. As well the game is running a lot slower in the latest beta-3a. After playing a bit and exiting my entire computer runs slower and I have to restart.

Reply to Curious about Revive Land in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="GoaGalneGbilski" reply="1" id="2676830"]Your sovereign (maybe some of the champions you teach magic too) can change the wasted land or the land of the opposite alignment into land of your alignment. This costs essence. You can only build cities on land of your alignment, yet if the land already is your alignment you have no need for the Revive Land spell. The kingdoms have the green grass and the fall the black brimstone. Everything else (swamps, deserts, barrens) are all wasted l

Reply to Graphics request in regards to Beta in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

[quote who="WalkerK19" reply="1" id="2676818"]Isn't the graphic in the Beta version is the style that they will be choose for the final version? If you don't like the current graphic, why? And AFAIK, the developer choose this graphic style for a reason. There's an explanation about the style in Developer Journal section. [/quote] No, I remember reading that they were using less detailed graphics because it was beta. Maybe I was wrong?

[Beta 3A][Gameplay] Scrolling and graphics problem in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

From Beta 3 to Beta 3A it seems that moving the mouse pointer to the edge the screen to scoll gives you a half a second before the scrolling actually happens. Irrirating. Is there something to change this in options? I see scroll speed, but not a scroll delay. As well it seems I still have to turn off anti-alliasing and advanced lighting to have all the graphics work.

Graphics request in regards to Beta in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Could a dev post a comparison of some pictures in game from a beta version and the final version since the graphics in the final will be much better than what we're suing in beta. I'm very curious to see it so pictures of the same scene comparing beta and final would be swell.

Reply to questions about outpost founding, upgrading units, caravans, and materials in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Tridus" reply="1" id="2676266"]The revival land thing was changed, you don't need to do it anymore. Essence is (or was) spent to do something like create a fertile land farming plot. Caravans do create roads, and they do provide trate route income as the caravans move back and forth. I'm not sure about the unit movement speed. Lumber mills provide materials at a much higher rate. Used to be able to build them on any forest

Reply to [Suggestion] Races of ... does it have to be MEN? in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="otakucore2" reply="46" id="2676054"]I like binary gender. And it's good for society. If you happen to be a lesbian, you may feel pressure from society to conform; but, for the vast majority of women, who are not lesbians, binary gender roles provide a healthy environment for them to develop. [/quote] What healthy aspects does the gender binary provide? And this is getting off topic, er, so maybe we should just keep the discussion to the language of th

Reply to [Suggestion] Races of ... does it have to be MEN? in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="GoaGalneGbilski" reply="45" id="2675961"]It's just terminology ffs. There is the Egalitarian trait as well as the ability to choose without penalty whatever gender we want. It is like saying "That ape was sure manlike." then complaining that the sentence is discriminating. I'm not trying to speak for everyone, but who gives? When they start giving the women worse stats we might start shouting unfairness. Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me... <br

questions about outpost founding, upgrading units, caravans, and materials in War of Magic Elemental Forums

First. I created an outpost on land I had not revived with my sovereign, however the land under it was green when I checked back later(i had forgotten to revive the land before creating the outpost). Why was it revived?(Yellowish to green) Second. How do you upgrade a current unit into another? Like taking a peasant and upgrading him to an unarmoured swordsman I designed? Third.When a caravn goes from one city to the next it creates a road. Does the road provide faster movemen

[Suggestion]Troops require too many materials to build in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

It seems far too much to require a solider with leather head, chest, leg armor, short sword, and solider's cloak to require 71 materials and 54 gold. Buildings cost much less than that. How about a game mechanic where its just 10 for each? We're not talking steel armoured knights on heavy war horses right? :)

[Bug][Gameplay]City not near by, but can't create a new outpost in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I attempted to create a new outpost, but the button was faded out and hovering the mouse over the button brought up the message that my "settler" was too close to another city. However there was not a city near by. Picture(still can't seem to get the link code to show the picture in the post): http://s1032.photobucket.com/albums/a406/thebossinthewall/?action=view&c
