Reply to [1Z1] Impressions so far - less crashing but less fun in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

[quote]I've now played three games under beta 1Z1 and, while there's more to look at and it feels more like a game, I'm finding the game less fun than earlier betas. Here's a first pass at a few things that are killing the fun factor: Monsters are a LOT tougher than in any of the earlier betas and there are a lot more of them. My leader used to be able to at least handle a black widow but now she dies 2 - 3 times before she can kill one and that's simply because t

@The progress: [quote]You can queue up construction for every occupied tile as soon as you place the initial city building. Yes you have to wait for the buildings to construct but the process is far far quicker than with the initial city. And the starting city isn't 40 tiles. It is something like 10.[/quote] It's far quicker for the player = less micromanagment. And there's some buildings that speed the construction, so a newly build city won't get access to

@Frogboy [quote]Re roads: the point of a game is to have fun. This isn't Sim fantasy civilization builder. It is a strategy game. Roads will be in Elemental but we want to stay away from the situation where players are feeling like they're a construction czar or something. Moreover, requiring the player to construct roads in order to tap into a global resource pool doesn't make the game more fun. It just adds an additional step that gets in the way of the general strategy

Should we report traits chosen at start that don't work as intended ? for instance if I choose a sov that can raise the research points if he stays in a city, I won't get those extra research points.

[quote who="Palinchron" reply="5" id="2587379"]I would like to see some kind of "paper doll" system. In my opinion this would add a lot to the RPG-feel - plus isn't it just more satisfying to drag that newly aquired flaming sword to your right hand instead of clicking on it in a row of items?[/quote] The paper doll system for inventory is just a standard nowadays, isn't it ?

Reply to [Suggestion] Multi-Racial Cities, Empires, and Armies in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

The "only 3 races" is just for the beta I think, not for the final release. One problem I see : if a city has 2 races living there, then what happen if I build a unit of 1000 "men" ? 500 from race A and 500 from race B ? What kind of skill will the unit get ? (if for instance all people from race A should have the skill forced march) should the gam elet the player choose which kind of units he use ? Or only a trait choosed at start could let you choose ? Or some trait like xen

Reply to Zones of Control? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Zone of control should take into account the size of the defending unit. A company of 10 men can't "control" a tile and the surrounding tiles. A company of 10 000 men can. Even more if they have some scouts in the army. In elven legacy some units can ignore zone of controls, and that's a good thing. It opens a lot of possibilities.

What I love ? Those forums. The heated debates where no names are thrown. The responses of Frogboy (even if he never replies to my questions :( Or once in a while), BoogieBac and all the staff. I love the dev journals, and particularly the one about coding the movement methods. Well I love to know a part of what is the creation of a game. The game is already fun to play (yes, even with 1G) at least for me. But it's nowhere what it will be for release. I can't wait for the map making a

Reply to Logic over Fun in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="drrob" reply="48" id="2585908"]So I just checked out the 1z update. Pardon my traditional TBS mindset. How on earth does building a workshop in one city add materials for another city? In my mind, it would be like in MoM if you had a 25 pop city all switched to workers using their production to build a barracks in a new outpost you just created. Again, i'm sure
