Reply to [Suggestion] Double left click on city should open the close up build screen. in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Before the forums backup, someone suggested a radial menu : double click and you get the icons around the city hub. I really like that idea.

In fact the unit don't come from the city hub, but from the nearest gates. So it seems the unit travels 5 squares, but in fact it's just one. The units are in fact in all of the city squares.

Devs stated that in fact those tiles were "cliff" tiles, and so not walkable.

All those conerns are numbers related, and will surely be tweaked before the final release. The only "gameplay" problem is that units don't die of old age. and so you could get more and more and more people in your empire by buying units and letting your cities refill. That's a weird behavior, but it is encouraged by the game. Maintenance will be a good way to prevent this, but there's techs to hamper that. A hard way to prevent that would be to let the soldiers used be in the total p

If roads exists, then each city will get a bonus in resources from the other city. For instance : City A has 30 food city B has 10 lumber. Each road will bring 10% from the city. So city A will have 30 food and 1 lumber and city B will have 3 food and 10 lumber. So you absolutley need to connect all of your cities. EDIT: about the dungeon level : Devs said they will only use one "plane" of existence. But it will be moddable.

What i'm saying is that each soldier comes from a city. If you can't grow your cities up to 1000 citizens then you'll only be able to train units with 500 soldiers. If you train a unit, wait citizens to replenish, train a unit etc.. it will take forever. And huge army need maintenance. If you don't have a strong economy you won't be able to maintain a 10 000 soldiers army.

Reply to Economy and Time to build in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Exactly : if you don't build things that need special resources .. then you only need time to train your unit (some equipments raise the time needed for the training, not because of resources like a sword need ore, but because the unit need to learn how to use that special equipment)

Reply to My impressions of building a city in the Beta 1G in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Farming can be enhanced forever (infinite tech) So the only real problem is the housing one. At the moment there isn't really enough ways to get enough houses. Appartments take too much place for too little population inside. But devs talked about battles with 10 000 men. And 10 000 need to come from a city. So there will be ways to get a 20 000 or 30 000 population city.

Reply to Fixing the City Problem: what do you think? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

TCores : it's already like that : you can't build houses in a level 1 city. And I think the 6 houses for 1 other building ratio will change before the final release. And there surely will be better housing in the tech tree. There's already the appartment. And I think dev want us to take hard decisions : you need housing, and so you have little space for something else, so you will have to specialize your cities. A farming city won't have enough space for barracks or anything e

Reply to Economy and Time to build in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

The current system is really perfect. No stockpiling, easy to understand exchange rate (1 on 1). And ore does work : if you want to build an army with swords, plate mail and so on, you'll take forever (even with barracks) if you don't have some ore. The only thing i'm not sure about is the way caravans work. Because it seems they deposit things, but they aren't stockpiled. So it may be remnants of the ancient implementation of the economic system. Anyway I should try something

Reply to Cities take increasingly more money to maintain in War of Magic Elemental Forums

The actual calculation is false. Devs already stated they will use the arithmetic upkeep instead of the exponential one. And I think that is a good thing. If you want to go to war, you need to prepare yourself to be able to keep the taken cities. Moreover they stated that a 5th level city wil multiply the effect o feach building by 5. A 4th level by 4th, etc.. so a building that let you earn 1 gold will in fact let you earn 5 gold at city level 5. So it won't be so hard to let

Reply to My Sovereign picks only Life books as my magic picks , but all I encountered is Death shards... in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

No, you're right. But what about the f&act that when you need an earth shard you get 3 fire shard that are useless to you ? If we could trade them, why not, but we can't. They are tied to a city.

Reply to My Sovereign picks only Life books as my magic picks , but all I encountered is Death shards... in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Maybe 2 essence to change the shard ? Essence is just to sparce to use it without thinking. Reviving land costs 5 essence. Essence is your max mana. You can imbue heroes with essence. So, I think it would balance itself : you have the exact shards you need, but have less essence, so have less mana to use each turn.

Yes, it just bug when there's "too many" huts to upgrade. Or maybe ... if there's huts in build queue ? Maybe the game can't handle change huts in build queue in houses ?

Maybe it's related with the fact that cliffs aren't properly displayed. So maybe in the 3D engine it makes sense.

I nailed it : In a multi turn battle, that "aattacl" value show how many damage the unit has done. It's not attack. Maybe there should be another kind of icon.

I got it. What I did : erase every hut I had. Choose the housing tech, rebuild every house. So the bug happens when the game try to enhance buildings.
