Could someone recreate Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic? What would you want to create about Age of Wonders:Shadow Magic? It's already been done with Master of Magic. Now Ultima IV that's a different story and a well written one at that. I could see it getting modded and remad

If you don't have a dual core or better its time to either upgrade or stop calling yourself a gamer. Civ5's specs might be modest in relation to contempory games of other genres.

I like how your having marriage be more like it use to be back in Medievaltimes and before which had nothing to do with love. Most people these days don't seem to know that marrying someone due to romantic love was a relatively new concept. Looking forward to the game.

Reply to Regular lighting vs. advanced lighting in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

To me the trees/bushes look better on the right but the people look better on the left. Now all in all I don't like the animation in the game but I think if I can combine the two (soft for the plants and sharp for the People/monsters/buildings) then maybe it won't have that anime look which I don't care for. But it is not bad enough to annoy me and the gameplay as well as the cloth map is good.

AOW:SM had a simultaneous turn-based option for multi-player and it worked great even in Eight player games on Large maps (the only type we ever played.) Now I don't mind the traditional non-simultaneous turn-based option in TBS tactical ombat as long as I can watch the battles take place even if I'm not controlling any sides.

Still, the screenshots/text posted I think makes it fairly clear that it's more or less basic text editing. Quest making is a little more involved because you have objectives and conditions and can stack them on, but still.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="63" id="2704957"]Stop referring to XML as "programming". It is most certainly not. It's basic text editing with tags to tell you what each "field" does. [/quote] See some of us didn't know that which is the point. It looks like programming to me.

[quote who="VR_IronMana" reply="44" id="2704335"] Quoting awuffleablehedgie, reply 42 I would assume point-based would be the in-game UI (assuming there is one...), or there could be a checkbox that controls whether or not the faction is restricted to a certain amount of points or subsets of abilities (call it "multiplayer compatible"). There would have be a form of verification, of course. That would make sense.

[quote who="VR_IronMana" reply="37" id="2704191"]If the point-based faction creator is the only option, I wouldn't like that any more than people now liking xml as the only option. If that's the way MP needs to work - fine, but if I play SP game, I don't want using the points to be the only way to make factions. Has nothing to do with hacking in uber swords, imo. It has to do with how many options and what not would be available for modding factions. If I want to create

It feels like cheating when you don't have any points restrictions and can do whatever you want.
