Reply to Elemental: War of Magic v1.11 out in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

The only speed change I've noticed is it seems to take longer for the AI to take their turns. Graphically it runs about the same as it used to, on both my i7/5970 and my e3300/GMA-X4500. I was however a bit disappointed that the game still sometimes doesn't advance to the next turn in multiplayer even though it says everyone has ended their turn.

Reply to Shacknews Interview with Jon Shafer in Elemental News Elemental Forums

Xia/aeligos, The strange thing about Elemental as a 4x game is that I have friends who normally weren't interested in playing 4x games playing this one. There is something different at the heart of Elemental, in a good way.

Reply to Is Elemental enjoyable now? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

It has many flaws, bugs, shortcomings etc. But I find myself playing it for hours on end. I even slog through the even more buggy and incomplete multi-player with a a friend. I find it very fun, but I want more.

I miss those armor types too. The world felt more fleshed out with little details like those armor types. I know they were redundant but it added to the feel that this was another world. I completely agree with Xia on this.

Reply to Destiny's Embers Ebook: No Code in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Frogboy, I'm only a couple chapters in, but I like your writing style and I agree with azzaron, the characters and story are interesting and engaging. I bought both editions of the book but I too am waiting to hear about the ebook code, as the paper book's code is for my wife.

Reply to Will the Ebook Version get the Campaign Code? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'd like to know the answer to this also. I bought both the paper and ebook versions. My wife will want to get a copy of Elemental when she sees me playing, and it would be cool to have a code for her already. (She's going to read the paper version while I read it on my Kindle)

Reply to Elemental: BETA 4 Preview in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="xecran" reply="1" id="2695484"]Speaking of netbooks, will the game support the rather awkward resolution of 1024×600. It seems that a lot of games can't, or perhaps it is just the older games I try installing. The next beta looks, fun, I'm looking forward to the mod tools. I'm assuming the mod tools are bug free, it's the content integration we are to be looking for? [/quote] I too would like to play the awesomen

1024x600 netbook support in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I saw in an earlier post it was stated that Elemental will probably have support for the 1024x600 resolution. Is there a chance that could be added to the betas before release? I'd really like to test Elemental on my netbook.

[quote who="Leyic" reply="50" id="2663263"]Long-term spells could require some sort of "spell slot" for their upkeep, so they don't affect mana beyond the initial casting cost. This would cut instant effect spells out of any micromanaging, and make it so the player can tell how many long-term spells they can have active at a glance, without the need to do any math regarding mana regeneration. Max mana and slots could then represent two separate research/questing branches: Some players would e

Multiplayer "End Turn" in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Having played a game of Elemental beta 2a multiplayer, I cannot find an obvious indicator that either of us have hit end turn. Also when one of us hits end turn it appears that it hits end turn for the other player automatically. (maybe why there isn't an end-turn indicator for the other player)

Reply to Elemental: A Preview of Magic & Sorcery in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="56" id="2655037"] EVERYTHING in Elemental is overpowered. You start out with a shard in your area but maybe no food. Or maybe you have food but no metal in your area. Or maybe you have metal but no horses. Or maybe you have a shard and horses but you have no crystal. Or maybe you have a shard and crystal but no good NPCs. EVERY game of Elemental should be a roller coaster ride of imbalance. But Fun. Though, NOT until rel

Reply to Elemental Beta 2: Player Input #1 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I am really liking the rarity system I've seen/heard about so far. Having the basics as research options you can rely on while having more and more rare ones that you hope for (if you know about them) is really neat. I think it is a fantastic compromise of all our ideas we talked about months ago. Very happy with it. Some ideas for rare resources I'd like to see are: 1. Oil. Oil could be used for things like increasing the

Homeworld, and Elemental's campaign in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Stardock, Since first playing Homeworld back in 1999, I have yet to find a game, movie, or book that has drawn me emotionally into the story as much as Homeworld. I am hoping that the campaign of Elemental is as emotionally engaging. I don't know what it will take to make that happen, but having Random House backing Stardock, maybe it is a possibility. Any thoughts that Stardock can share with us in this regard yet?

Elemental Game/Book in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Just pre-ordered the paper and the Kindle versions of the book. This is the first game/story in a very long time I've been as excited about as an Ultima game. Are there plans for a strategy guide or any other Elemental related trinkets to be sold?
