Reply to How are you going to determine if 70% of beta testers support moving to beta 2? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Mandelik" reply="8" id="2595204"] Quoting 2big2fail, reply 2No doubt all the testers want the game to go into multiplayer... No. I can't care less about multiplayer, probably will never play MP with Elemental. I wonder how many % of testers feel the same.[/quote] I think he was only speaking about the beta 2, which will evolve around multiplayer, then the beta 3. I usually don't care about multiplayer, because I'm just a weak player in most str

But for quests it can be interesting to get popups : in king's arthur the roleplaying wargame the quests really add something strong to the game. You really feel more involved in it.

I also got that one often. What I found is that if you put a unit in the city, it will get the right LOS back. Just send a unit out, then let it enter the city. It usually works.

[quote who="John_Hughes" reply="11" id="2594302"]"Population- Population should control the total productivity of a city. With the base population for a city’s LV used as 100% (AKA no penalties to production). A city let’s say needs 250 people to reach LV 2 if this LV 2 city’s population falls below 250 the current population (170) divided by 250 would give you the total productivity (170/250 = 68%) of this particular city.

Reply to [1Z1][Suggestion] Food, Housing, and Prestige Overhaul in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Are you aware the penalties will be in the final release ? Production times and unit production times are doubled when you're short on food. Moreover, buildings like tax center need citizens to be useful. And i'm fairly confident they will add other things as the betas go on.

It also helps preventing you people from fleeing away in a nearby city with a higher restige ;) Anyway, I also think an other use when at max would be a good idea : If your population is a t max, then the prestige is a bonus for your building times and the income of every resource in the city range. EDIt: or it could always attract new heroes easier ?

[quote who="Madocs" reply="134" id="2593907"]Mm True, I still prefer the idea of scaling down by 1/4. No cities are that large for only being a village or minor town. If they were smaller and not sprawling totally out of scale, there wouldn't be the trouble with the distance between cities.[/quote] Why not scale up instead of down ? The tiles are already divided in 4 (in the first beta all buildings were of the size of a lumber mill).

Reply to [Question] Troops in City in War of Magic Elemental Forums

At the moment there's a problem with huge cities : some units don't have anogh movement points to get out of the city. If at the end of their movement a unit is standing on a city tile, then it automatically enters the city. Devs are already looking into that, but BoogieBac said it is a more difficult task than it seems.

Reply to Do quests support multiple outcomes besides pass/fail? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

In king arthur the roleplaying wargame, quests have different endings, based on their difficulty. And that works very well, because it has a morality chart. and you can take tyrant or righteous decisions. There - at the moment - nothing like that in Elemental. It would really add an interesting layer of possibilities to the game.

Reply to [1Z1][Suggestion] Food, Housing, and Prestige Overhaul in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Devs already stated that prestige will help you get people from other towns. And the speed at which it fills is an important feature : you won't be able to maintain a strong army without it, because each soldier will come from your population.

Reply to Looking for an Idea of what Tactical Combat will look like. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Reply to [1Z1] gameplay -- Dexterity books don't work in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Dex doesn't always change the def, because it only applies a multiplier. So if you have 15 dex you get a X 1.5 in def. If you get to 16 in dex from 15 then your def may not change (dor instance if you have 2 def and 15 dex you get 3 def overall. With 16 dex you still get 3 def overall because the game rounds up)
