Reply to Elemental would sell better as a subscription game than as traditional product in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Steam already tried 'subscription' based game sales called "DLC" packs. They have failed miserably with me as I refuse to fork out money for additional content even if its pocket change worth. Example: purchased Empire Total War. They release new units and you have to pay extra. Look at modding community, they produce near identical units but gets decimated shortly after by steam by butchering modding capabilities of the game. End result: little to no modding done for the game except for a fe

[quote who="solidsmooky" reply="100" id="2746441"]Dang you know your game is bad when your customers are asking for alternatives less than a week after its release. lol[/quote] Elemental isn't 'bad' I'm only playing AOW because of the slowdown issue with Elemental. Once that's fixed I'll be back to Elemental. Everyone keeps praising how awesome AOW and MOM is but now that I've had a chance to replay and refresh my memory of them sure they have some nifty things about them but they als

Reply to What are the best TB Fantasy RPG/RTSs out there? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I reinstalled AOW:SM and been killing time with that while waiting for the slowdown fix for Elemental. Shame you can't find it for sale anywhere though. I heard they're going the 'steam' route sometime soon. They've also been working on a new patch for years now but it doesn't look like it'll see the light of day.

Reply to Vigilant Minions Way overpowered in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Have to agree. I've been playing empire since release of the game and I never train units in cities as I can pretty much own everything till about late game when units with a lot of health start popping out. But then you can transfer essence to another hero and get him to summon one, your children to summon one and so forth till you have an unstoppable army! Really fun to use as Empire but I was in tears when I lost an army to just one of these from another Empire nation attacking me :(

Reply to The Official Elemental Screenshot Thread in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Has anyone got screenshots with rivers in them? I've yet to see any rivers in the game which was featured in a screenshot on the site ages ago. It looked really cool seeing a river of lava on the evil side and a pure stream of water on the good side.

Reply to What's a guy got to do to get some food around here? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I was hurting for food in my last game when all of a sudden I had extra food out of nowhere. Hadn't built any new improvements or anything. So I build more housing to level my city and later on I was horrified to find out my city has -3 prestige because of a food shortage :( Turns out all the extra food I got was from caravans from other neighbouring nations and when they slowly started being conquered by the AI the caravans stopped and I had a lack of food. I wish there was a chart that show

Reply to Elemental: Winning Strategies in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Very handy tips TY! I managed to be victorious just exploring with a bit of luck and magic summons. My sovereign in his travels found a trinket that allowed him to summon a sand golem then later on another one! With his essence boosted he could summon some other minions as well which quickly grew his one man crew into a force to be reckoned with. Wiped out the first faction I ran into and captured their city and am popping settlements all over the map while looking for other opponents. Explor

Reply to Thank you Stardock for all your hard work in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Hear Hear! Very happy Stardock customer as well. I'm an old school 'MOM' player so I couldn't pass up Elemental. Initial release was somewhat buggy but since the 0-day patch and the hotfix I've been having a blast playing the game bringing back memories of 'MOM' but with a hell of a lot better graphics and sound. I was amazed with the modding utilities bundled with the game allowing for so much customization. Really looking forward to this game's future potential with what modders can do with

Trinity portraits not in Diplomacy? in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Looking at Trinity boxart and wallpapers etc I see portraits for the three races not available in diplomacy expansion. Can anyone confirm if there are new portraits you can choose from in Trinity? I've double checked diplomacy now and no new portraits to choose from when selecting portrait options.

Reply to "Fatal Error", won't intstall in Technical Sins Forums

I got this error trying to install impulse after I uninstalled it, changed some drive letters and tried reinstalling. Something in the registry gets stuck and keeps giving you that fatal error message. A few other games wouldn't install properly either eventhough I uninstalled them before changing drive letters. Anyway only way to fix it was clean up the lingering registry entries in my registry (or reinstall windows). Try using <a title="CCleaner Downloads" href="http://www.ccleaner.com/down
