City Governer: The soveriegn used to be the governer for a small settlement that survived the war. Now that he seeks to become a soveriegn, he has a settlement to begin with (at no essence cost). Magician: Your soveriegn made a living being a spell caster. His duties as a magician likely included casting simple spells to aid peasents (like fix broken stuff), cantrips to impress the locals, to casting the odd advanced spell for those who could pay for your rare services. The net effect

Reply to Time Time Time. See what has become of me. in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

*Sighs* So many posts already. Ok, I've skimmed through it all so I don't think I'm repeating whats been said. I don't play a lot of multiplayer games, so I don't know if this is a new idea or not. ---- Change multiplayer settings mid game. Lets say that the whole time bank system isn't working any more. Most of the players have decided that they would rather play at a relaxed pace. Instead of quiting the existing game and starting a new game, why not allow the

Reply to Player Input: Talents & Weaknesses in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I think I made a list, but I can't find it right now... Here a are a few quick thoughts without my list: -Massive Dept: The soveriegn owes a lot of money to other people. Once the soveriegn builds his first town, the collectors find him and start hauling away 50% of the soveriegn's income. This continues until the dept is paid back in full, or the soveriegn somehow deals with the people he owes money too (plot hooks for a quest ideas). -Strange Pet: The soveriegn has a

Reply to Road Building…Your thoughts? in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I'm very much for the player having absolute control as to how the roads are built. If I want 2 sets of roads (one for efficiency, the other for backup reasons), I would want to be able to make those roads. We're supposed to get powerful spells, like make a volcano right? What about weaker spells that can change the landscape without so much destruction. If at some point I can make/destroy land tiles, lets say be making them ocean or mountain tiles, I would want to be able to remap my

Reply to Boogie's Thoughts on Chancellors, Cities, Snaking and Secession in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I don't like the idea of losing settlements and/or cities because you don't have a hero to govern them. I don't think it has been mentioned yet that if a city is conquored, it probally means that the hero who governed it might have fallen in battle in the city's defense. Unless you have a spare hero, you are going to have to wait until you can retake the city. ---- Here is an idea. Give the soveriegn a "Soveriegnty" stat. This stat shows how well a soveriegn can control his la

Reply to How to make sure instant resolve doesn’t make us sad in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Yes! Please! Do make auto resolve fair. There are few things that annoy me more than battles I'm pretty sure I'm going to win, but I must fight or else I'll suffer an overwhelming loss because because the AI is dumb. Also, I like the sound of the battle log. ---- As for suggestions: Are we going to be able to program the AIs as to how to fight the battles? For instance, if I have *a lot* of fire mana, I might want to tell the AI to cast fireballs, and t

Reply to I didn't want to play any Ubisoft games anyway in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

They scared me away the moment they required an internet connection to play (I really don't like being forced online without a good reason). This only makes things worse. The game crashes because the internet was interupted for like 2 sec? Current game progress lost? This is definately not the games for me.

Reply to Grrr. We’re gonna get bumped in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Just make sure that whatever you guys are doing with Impulse, it is something that I could easily turn off or otherwise ignore. Few things annoy me more than a dramatic change to the user interface, or radical change to how things work. More so if I very much liked how things worked before the change. Regardless, I'll try to keep an open mind for things to come...

Reply to Problems with Demos in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote]Question: Is there a way to see more demos listed in MyGames for download?[/quote] No, I don't think so. It seems that all the demos that Impulse can install for you were custom made for Impulse. Atleast thats my theory, otherwise I would think there would be a lot more demos available now (and maybe be given their own section). Currently, the process of adding new games to Impulse is not automatic. The automation is still under development, but what has been develope

Reply to Leaking essence in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I don't like this idea. Currently, there is no way to replace lost essence short of gaining levels. I feel it would deaden the idea that your channeller is immortal, and powerful if his essence is leaking away. It would also deaden the idea that he's really getting more powerful when he levels up if he's destined to fall back to where he began (or even further back). I mean, if his essence is leaking away, how did he manage to keep his powers before the game began?
