Reply to Diplomatic Capital in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

This sounds like a really cool idea on paper... But I think it would be near impossible to implement this well. And in any case it would only really work with AI players and would be a tad cheesy and gimmiky IMHO...

Reply to Desperate AI bids in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I really like the idea of significant long term instability coming from conquered cities. This would be a potential counter to too quick of a steamrolling as biting off more than you could chew so to speak would have the potential to have devastating results. Troops would be needed for peacekeeping for quite some time.

Reply to Loyalty in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I really like these ideas of political and social intrigue. While I think that actually turning the soveregns own family should be nigh impossible I think it would be cool to have other 'neutral' families that you could recruit from if you gain their loyalty. But that they could switch sides eventually.

Reply to Total War Type Battles in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I really liked the total war style battles. At least in RTW the only one I played. But they did tend to get excessively long and dull eventually. But I think that is a common problem for tactical battles in general. The other big issue is the AI sucking. I think this compounds the first problem because it comes to the point where you're thinking "OMG I'm so tired of fighting this huge stack of enemy armies. The same strategy I used last time will work this time but it took me 30min to

True true... Maybe if I am more insistent and obnoxious while having some borderline decent ideas I'll get some pity karma like him... :)

Reply to The AI SURPRISE! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

In some kind of grand cosmic sense I feel sure that this is an absolutely hilarious joke (maybe to the beings of the 5th dimension that he keeps claiming to think in). While my consciousness can just barely feel the impression of how funny it must be, my mortal mind cannot help but be utterly frustrated and confused to the point of extreme irritation.

Reply to Terrain Modification in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Pnakotus" reply="3" id="2349283"]You'd think 'raise/lower' and 'change climate' would be all that's necessary; you can't make a river just by dropping a bunch of water unless the terrain is cooperative.[/quote] With magic that may not be true. Ungerground aquifers are not that uncommon and a river can be diverted if a better path is made for it.

Reply to Sovereign's family....New tidbit in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Point one: I don't think this family/dynasty system changes that you lose if your sovereign dies. I believe this is indicated that your sovereign is immortal (at least immune to old age) in contrast to all of your heirs. Point two: The idea of family relations and how you treat different members of a family affecting the view of that family as a whole. Imagine if you had to make the decision of what to do with an incompetent but high born hero. Who are you going to make govenor of tha

Reply to Resource Control vs. Territory Control in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

No.. .I think influence is more of a cultural think. Military could have some affect on that. Probably depending on what they're doing (killing people negative influence, helping people positive influence). But even if the people WANT to be under someone else's control they're still gonna be scared of your military. There may be some geurilla groups that would fight back but not enough to fight off true military occupation...

Reply to Welcome to agony: AKA a Stardock BETA! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="Aesir Rising" reply="42" id="2338602"]I get the impression that Elemental is intended to be Frogboy's/SD's magnum opus. Like Pink Floyd's The Wall. Wagner's Ring Cycle. Tolkien's Middle-Earth. The Double Baconator, if you will. [/quote] So... Does that mean he's gonna like die after or something?

Reply to Elemental Alpha: Invites going out in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="landisaurus" reply="2" id="2326398"]will you send out more invites if not all 100 choose to sign the NDA? argh... now I wish I purchased the game earlier Just did it today ; You'll still be in the beta about a month from now. The alpha likely isn't going to that fun anyway. I mean it isn't even "beta" yet. Chances are it won't even run on half of the lucky 100's computers [/quote] Of course
