[quote who="Bacior" reply="4" id="2582175"] What do you think? [/quote] Firstly, welcome to the forums. I think many here may agree with your opinion regarding 'purchasing experience'. I assume though that the OP meant only an advanced unit, one level above normal. This is what I meant at any rate, as I think it is quite reasonable that some units can have better training than others, without going over the top and allowing sovereigns to create ultra-elite
[quote who="maniakos" reply="2" id="2580606"]In mom you could also make your own undead from your normal trained city units, using death chanel (I think?) and they would cost no upkeep, like the real thing. Ah those were the days... [/quote] The spell was Zombie Mastery. All units that die in combat would return as undead under the caster's control. The Demon Lord's Life Steal ability had a similar effect.
I like it. I think it could be implemented by having an improvement such as 'Advanced Training' that allows a unit of any type to be advanced through special training with additional costs of currency and turns. There might also be a channeler trait or talent such as 'Warlord' that has the cities of the channeler operate like military states, where all the population is virtually bred for war. This would allow the default level of units to be one higher than normal
[quote who="Tasunke" reply="3" id="2580137"]Omeganeer [/quote] Not bad. Something like Pio-engineers, or Stronghold Pioneers might also work. *taste tests* Still needs something though. Is it currently possible to build a city around a resource, thereby encompassing it within the city proper?
I think that both controllable and uncontrollable mega-beasts should be included, with the controllable ones taking significantly longer to achieve and costing more. Having a greater variety of sea units would be grand. It puts me in mind of Warcraft II, where there were very good ground, sea and air tactics. If Elemental can implement a similar mix, it would expand the epic.
MoM had a fairly effective method of dealing with resource protection. If you melded a magic node using a Guardian Spirit rather than the more basic and cheaper Magic Spirit, the node would effectively be guarded by an invisible unit that has become one with the node. As far as I know, there was no more upkeep for the spirit once it had melded. I don't really know how resources are captured in Elemental, so I can't comment on how a similar feat might be achieved. But if anyone ca
Excellent idea. This would really add a new strategical element to the game. [e digicons]k1[/e] I imagine you also meant for these traps to be hidden (i.e. not detectable by enemy units)? I think that should be the case, but perhaps also with some units or technologies/spells allowing a chance to reveal hidden traps.
I think that the annoying effects of incremental technologies (i.e. Laser I, Laser II, etc.) would be largely negated if the technological upgrades automatically transferred to all units. So, if I upgrade my weapons forge, the weapons of all my existing units are automatically upgraded. This can be done at no cost, at a specified percentage, a fixed cost per unit, a fixed cost per unit based on unit type, or even a general fixed cost. It would really reduce the tedium, especia

[quote who="Nathan E" reply="28" id="2571521"]A lot of people are giving a unit name and an quote for that unit. If you read Frogboy's post closely, the game is going to suggest a random unit name and a random quote. I'd suggest the game have a button we can hit to see a pick list of unit names and their quotes. Random isn't sounding too useful. [/quote] I second this.
More random quotes: 'You cannot test my patience, for that is something I do not have.' 'Die when you are spoken to.' 'I live for .' 'I die for .' 'I kill for .' 'I for .' </p
+1 for Aurum. It really does sound the best and is also relevant.

This game has a fantasy setting, so you could have both genders give birth through magical conception with a catalyst such as a crystal, and a vial of the partner's "essence". All descendants of the sovereign should genetically inherit this form of procreation. As far as I understand it, channelers are unique in their ability to utilise magic, and so adding this trait would be only a further point of distinction, making them almost like a seperate race. In this way, both genders becom

Cities should have inner and outer walls. You should be allowed to decide which buildings are on the inside and which are on the outside, as this would be part of a defensive strategy, especially under siege. For example, if population were vital for a particular city, you might have all the housing situated in the inner section.
I like this idea as well. I said something similar here https://forums.elementalgame.com/377327 , though I didn't specify that the terrain should be reflected both visually and tactically inside the combat screen, as it couldn't apply given the context of my post. I think that this idea would add an additional level of strategy to the game, forcing a player to decide the best time and place to attack a group of units to get the most

[quote who="Cerevox" reply="33" id="2562358"]No. Any game that advertises itself as having mini games inside it to you keep from getting bored is not likely to do well. And be 'enhance the game' i mean the core game. Like, citys and troops and magic and such. The things that we are actually playing the game for. Mini games are nice and all, as long as they don't effect MP, but i am not buying or playing the game, for the mini games. And, to cover the possibility. If there is someon
[quote who="kingtiger_522" reply="5" id="2563028"]Although I think that there're still a few tweaks that could be made to the tech tree, fundamentally I think it's a good system. I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of randomness in the research trees, as I don't think it reflects the concept believably. Research is normally a directed, focused and ordered thing, and while occasionally discoveries are made that are not exactly specific to the purpose of a particular research, I'
