[Suggestion] One-use Resource-Creating Essence Spells for Balanced Start in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

So, there seem to be a lot of balance issues about whether you start with, say, a Lost Library or an Arcane Temple. I think there should be one-use spells that Also consume a point of essence such as "Locate Lost Library" or "Scry for Gold". If you don't have Gold, Farm and a Lost Library nearby right at the start I think you're severely hampered and these one-use spells would seem to make a big difference. The use of essence could hopefully also stop them being overly abusable. Perhaps even

If bigger houses cost more food they'd be of no extra benefit compared to huts unless they were made notably bigger. With the small amount of food available though I think this would be a bad idea.

Reply to Some problems with 3B in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Seems nobody can cast spells in tactical battles at present :-(. I've found when loading it helps to leave it at the title screen for 30 secs, click load, select the save, wait thirty seconds, then click to load the game. Seems this helps others as well btw.

[3B] First-Turn Destruction in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I created a game and had one of the opposition Kingdoms destroyed within one turn! I can only assume either a) Monsters raided the city b ) They avoided building a city in turn one only to lose their sovereign.

It can't be easy living so many hours into the past. It must take so much effort just to avoid time paradoxes for a start. Then there is the issue that we in civilisation can't give them so much as a hint of our super-technology (from all of 5 hours into the future).

[quote who="MrYuk" reply="47" id="2682019"]So will we be able to deny an enemy a resource in their area of influence by stationing a unit on that tile or do we have to beat the city down enough to remove the influence? I would think that if I can garrison a unit--even in your area--on a resource you shouldn't have access to it. This would add to the ability to siege a town.[/quote] I second this as being an awesome idea! :-) [quote who="timothydelisl

[quote who="AG3" reply="22" id="2682051"]With regards to monsters taking out cities, I just hope it makes sense. By that I mean that the monster attacking should be one capable of actually razing buildings for it to make sense. It looks pretty stupid (and is extremely annoying) if a lone wolf, no matter how hungry and rabid, manages to raze an entire level 5 city. Razing buildings/the city should be limited to human(oid) foes and giant monsters. Huge golems, dragons, you know, big

Reply to Any other way of obtaining BETA? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yeah, with SD betas are more like what most people would see solely during an internal testing stage. You can expect a Lot to change by the retail release. If you're expecting the game to reflect the fun of the finished product atm, it won't. The current Beta 3-A doesn't include tactical battles, constantly crashes, the tech trees and magic are being completely redone etc. I find it a fun and exciting beta process but yeah, as above posters mentioned, don't expect a "traditional" beta. <
