It's an old bug. I hope devs will find the solution to it.

Reply to [FEEDBACK] The setting and needless micro in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Not making the houses count on the tile limit would be enough in my opinion. You would still have the stregic interest of where to put buildings (and blocking places)

[quote who="Inteuniso" reply="2" id="2651314"]You can catch wolves?[/quote] At the moment there's only one quest that will let you get some wolves. But with magic (and "carm monsters") you'll be able to catch them all ! ... well ... sorry (but the spell charm monsters existed in previous beta).

Reply to Some basic gameplay questions in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Let's summarize : Mouse over attack, def, etc. to see the str, int, etc. The icon "Big details" on the lower left bar. Clicking the medallion. I don't see any other way.

1) Since supcom I use zoom out-zoom in to move the map. Sometimes I click-drag. No need for cursors I think. 2) Like Wizz2mo said. Even if the icon is a sword, don't be afraid to left click, you'll have the option to hire the npc. The npc needs to be in your territory or next to your sovereign 3) Like Wizz2mo said. If you click on the little shield next to the medallions you'll have a list of all your units in the town. When you have an army, you can also click the little shie

[0.802] Bug ? Unequippable (sp?) noblewoman in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

In the quest to escort the noblewoman I had to travel through very dangerous places. So I wanted to give the noblewomand some object to make her move faster. She was able to buy equipment, it appeared on the item list but I couldn't equip them. Is it working as intended ?

[quote]#1 City Improvements[/quote] Adjacency seems to be a good idea. But in the end it would become somethign horrible. With 10 cities to micromanage in the end-game, you would use most of your time on them, because you wouldn't be able to queue a building because the buildins as a prerequisite aren't already built. The actual simplicity is, in my opinion, a good thing. What I would lke to see is the ability to queue a building next to a building already queued, that would h

[quote]UPDATE! One thing I've been reading on the forums has to do with weapons and defenses available. Right now, a lot of them aren't in (for instance, you only get daggers on melee weapons) because we still have to update the UI to handle the different types of damage and defense types. For instance: Code: c++ 1. //################# Damage and Defense Types #######################// 2. #define UNITSTATTYPE_NAME_PIERCINGDAMAGE _T("UnitStat_Pierce

Reply to Elemental Quick Impressions = PROMISING in War of Magic Elemental Forums

This game wil be awesome. Wait .. No. This game IS awesome, even without magic, diplomacy and exploration. The only drawback I can see is the performance issue. When I 'm in a cloth map mode the game is smooth. But when I zoom in ... It starts crawling. I play in windowed mode, with deskscape runing with the water dream : hen I zoom in I can see the water dream playing slowly.

Reply to Elemental: June FAQ in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

The problem with diplomacy is that in real life there's no victory conditions, so diplomacy is used to let citizens live a peaceful life. But in a game that where you can win, there's no interest in trading techs or even research or anything else. So what's the point of diplomacy in games ? To let players that are losing to gang up on the ones that are winning. In a game where only one can win there's no thing like "help" or "mutual comprehension" that would make sense. So pla

But they don't. I too have the same problem. It seems it's a directx realted issue, because after I installed the latest drivers for directx (from the microsoft site) the fences came back. But after a reboot the fences are gone -___- I'm with vista, and fences used to work with deskscapes. I don't know what could have happened.

[quote who="SavageBananaMan34" reply="33" id="2635937"]So since we can make our own tiles, does the engine automatically choose what objects are important or do we set priorities for the objects?
