And? It's not "a" philosophical point of view. It's a "philosophical" point of view. I'm not talking about perception or people's point of view. Philosophicaly speaking there's no argument to make slavery acceptable. Even if it helped build a civilization as powerfull as the romans. I don't think we've seen the last of it. The fact that "modern" slavery, as Spartan pointed out, just show that the nature of slavery has changed, but it's not still acceptable. And as you said ... it's no

I'm from Antony, near Paris. You should know one thing about TI3 : if your first game is with beginners it'll be a "learning" game ;) Rules aren't hard, they're very logical, but there's plenty of exceptions and things to remember.

Why not thinking in "reveers". you don't really gain much xp, just "temporary" abilities. And they become permanent only if you fight enough to make them persistant ;) That's the way we learn ;)

[quote who="lwarmonger" reply="7" id="1941679"] Quoting vieuxchat, reply 4Even if it's a culture thing, I don't think slavery could ever be seen as something different than "un fair/evil/whatever you call that". It's not just a matter of culture. I disagree. The ancient world was built on slavery, and for the most part until Christianity made an appearance there seemed to be very little spoken about it from a moral perspective (and by that point slavery was nowhere near

Reply to More than one Day battle. in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="DrGuppie" reply="5" id="1941528"]Certainly there have been battles that have last for quite a long time (Waterloo, for instance, was ~3 days) and many that have gone on for hours (a quick search turned up the battle at Cercy which started at sundown and ended after midnight, 1346). With that in mind, I would love to see the tactical battles be able to end without a victor due to fatigue or morale. I would think it would actually be somewhat easy to do, much like a ship

I would really dislike a "closed" system of experience. A level cap is just silly. Is there a moment we stop learning things? A decay system for experience would be interesting, but in the limits of initial training. If a unit does nothing (not defending, attacking etc..) it should lose some xp.

You get CC (command counters) in two ways : With the leadership card (the primary gives you some and the secondary let you buy some with influence) Or at the status phase where you get 2 of them (or 3 if you have the good tech, or 4 if you have the good tech AND you are the sol ;)) you can't buy CC with influence at the status phase !! It's only when the leadership card is played. And remmeber you can't buy more than 3 CC that way. So, hell yes, CC are just wha

Yep you're right, and that's what i've done to get from "I know ... nothing" to "i can copy/paste, use layers, change colour, etc..." But right now I don't really have the time to improve my skills :) I'll wait for my holidays ^___^

Reply to The mechanics of warfare: Weapons in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I spoke about damage. Always doing the same amount of damage is just a shame. Or 0 or the max. It's too binary for me.

I just don't like battle for Wesnoth because it's a game of chess. I just can't stand games without a bit of luck. (Even if I play go ;)). Oh, and the spell description of Tamren made me think about a .. spell creator !! Like in Morrowind. You could create a spell and why not it's graphical visualization in game! You just learned to control ice bolts. Then you create a spell that throw one bolt, several bolts or just use them as trap on the field. For that last one imagine you

What would be excellent is a "hardcore" mode where you can't save. You save only when you quit.

Fall from heaven 1 is in the mods of beyond the sword. It's a really interesting mod because it has a story. In fact it's more a tutorial to fall from heaven 2. But no replay value I think. Fall from heaven 2 is really really close to master of magic (minus the items, which can't be forged)

Yop I tried something else : (and what means "washed out"? I'm sorry but english isn't my born langage) The "war of magic" thing is kinda weird because I didn't succeed to "capture" nicely from the site background.

Reply to Anyone else worried about combat? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

there are several other RTS that are released since starcraft. And som egood ones. I too hate the games where you need an insane apm (actions per minute). But some game, like supcom, let you focus on strategic things. It reminds me what everyone did say abour the combat system of Final Fantasy 12. "What? Real TIme? But .. but .. ubt how are gonna think?" And the battles were less boring than in all the previous version of FF. And they add the gambit which were a great great idea. Why not usin

Imagine the quests are linked together. And each player has a "secret" 15th quest that woud let them win the game. Fo rinstance : 1st "campaign" quest : rescue the damn bear that roam around. 2nd "campaign" quest : learn more about riding animals (through tech, ancient dungeon craxling, visiting a druid etc..) 3rd "campaign" quest : some nature lovers come in and wants to kill you. you have 4 days to ake your mind : free bears or they attack you. etc...

Ok, I tried to do a better job with your advices : I made the picture a bit larger, so I lose less details. And with a brighter background the "war of magic" is easier to read. I tried to stay with tones from the website.

What I would really like to see is some kind of random campaign generator, with events. It wouldn't be as profound as a real campaign but that would be really exciting to live a new story each time, even if that's stories tolmd 324345 times.
