Reply to It is time to talk about QUESTS! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

My main question is, are you asking for quests that the player gets or quests that the player can give? and before that a quick question regarding Heroes, how exactly are they going to play? are we talking about mini-sov chars? are buffed up mundan troops? And if we do get a quest can we send our heroes to do it? or "hire" a group of heroes to finish it? ("I desire that you will find me the Orb of Wasawasa, I will reward you handsomly if you succeed", that how my first D&D game st

Reply to Unlockable Tech based on Conditions in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I think that we are looking at this in the wrong prespective, instead of having unloackable techs in the pregenerated tech tree we should link this kind of things to the all questing and adventuring system. In this way we a. randomize this techs so when you start a new game you don't have a recipe to unlock them and b. add let the player get techs outside of the reaserch mechanism. If you don't like just handing the techs after compleating the quests than just unlock it in the reaserc

I like my fantasy were there is no hope, you know the grim a dirty kind where evil always win because good guys are dumb, but that is just me [e digicons]}:)[/e] .

Forms of goverments in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Hello I really like the 4 different forms of governments in GC2 and for those of you who know EU3 I really like the form of governments in that one also. That got me thinking about Elemental, right now we are looking at a ruling system that is based on a dictatorship of the channeler and that is it, but as we all know different forms of governments are suited to different situations. Within the limits of the g

Reply to Channeler Customization: Continued in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Yay Channaler: Origins! Cool stuff, alot of folks allready brought some great Ideas so I'll just add some random thoughts. 1. each channaler attributes should be basically the same with 5 points to be added by the player. 2. When a channeler level up the player will have the option to asign the new points or the atributes that the player added points to them will go up. 3. most (like 90%) of the channaler customization should be wi

Reply to [0.262] SUGGESTION - displacement choice in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I see to deferant problems here: 1. Sov displacment when building a city. 2. Unit displacment when leaving garrison. for the first one I would suggest to just automaticly garrison the sov in the city, for the second one I would suggest to spawn the unit the city tile (the one you get when you first build the city) Warder

Reply to Some quick battle notes in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

You don’t research “magic swords” but instead would take a mundane sword and equip a fire magic kit with it. Players can equip multiple kits with their unit to make them increasingly lethal (but expensive) or defend against fire damage by using a defensive fire magic kit. I don't understand this, does that means that we will get a seperat window to design weapons and armor or is this a kit like the the scouting kit currentl

I don't think that you got my point about AI management. Currently, when I play the beta, I usually got 5-6 cities around turn 100, 6 cities means 15 caravans one between each city, having even 3 groups hunting them down manually can be annoying but not that hard..... but lets take a look at a mid-game situation on one of the 64-bit version of the game ( with humongous map) and you
