Reply to Will a moddable Elemental mean.....? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

And why not ? If the game is programmed right, very few things should be hardcoded. For instance, I hope I'll be able to mod the tactical battles and get rid of the "hit points system" to use a "wounds" system.

Reply to Territory managment in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

It can only be done if the borders don't expand automatically. That is the real problem, I think. If it doesn't grow automatically, it could become a nightmare in the end-game, with huge empires. Or changing the way borders work : why not a per-square ownership ? At start each square has no influence and belongs to noone (or maybe only special grounds, like the borders of a dragon lair ;)). When you move your units, you gain 1 influence for each square you traveled through. If

Or the ability to "play" several picture in order, like a slideshow. So you would be able to create "events" that could tell stories or things like that .. that would let mod-maker the ability to customize even more the games.

You could even use fake units. Imagine : if you only see the biggest unit of a stack, and an approximation of the number of units (like in HoMM) .. you could build big units that do nothing .. but the enemy doesn't know it .. then you could create diversions.

Reply to [BUG][0.23] Sovereign becoming blind (SIGHT decreased at level up) in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Losing points ? On level up ? That would be a BDD : Bad Design Decision. Maybe upgrading stats would need 2 "level up points", then some stats would need 3 "level up points" and other only 1 "level up point". But I really hope we can chooose whichever faction we want and create the sov we want. Why would I have to take a magic sov if I choose some factions ? Maybe when you create the sov you can choose between several kind of sov that would decide the cost of adding points on

Reply to Border Management in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Maybe some escalation to war ? You always start neutral, and if one of your unit get caught inside an enemy territory (we would need some unit perks like "stealth" in order to be able to spy) the relations between faction decrease and you get a warning. Then you could researsch such things as "Counter spying" that would give you a small chance of finding enemy/neutral units that lurk in your territory (like 10% to find a stealth unit)

Reply to October 1 deadline to get into the beta in Elemental News Elemental Forums

The game isn't so horrible, but everyone should be clear with the fact that you "play" in the beta IN ORDER TO help report bugs. And it seems not everyone is reading how to do it (not everyone is giving the debug.err nor the dxdiag. Not even a screenshot)

In some countries, looking as an asian will change the way people talk to you.

But dominion had an strong influence implementation. There won't be any thing like faith in elemental that would let you win/lose, even if you're military stronger/weaker.

Reply to Sovereign not a game unit in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

The fact is the balance of using/not using essence will be hard : if you don't use essence what is the main drawback ? Few cities. But you're so powerfull that you can take any city you want anyway ! I really like the fact that it'll be played as in supreme commander where they are super-units, but the balance of this will no be a simple task.

Reply to Flying Citadels in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

In MoM the two worlds were relatively ... bland. I would prefer only one plane but with a lot of things to do/see, than two half-finished planes. It doesn't add to the gameplay in my opinion. What an underground could add to the game ? A way to get past mountains ? But magic will be there for that : just destroy that mountain, or cast fly, or make one with stone. In AoW2:SM the other world had some gameplay changes, but they weren't so interesting.

Reply to Deplete Money before a building is complete. in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

In supreme commander it's a bit hard at first to get used to a per/sec payment, but when you get accustomed ... it's just so usefull : you can strat projects even if you don't have the money ! If you don't have enough on a turn, then the project will pause.
