Reply to So We Played "Risk" Tonight... in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I love Risk always have but I got the Lord of the Rings risk a few years ago and that blew away the normal risk. Plus it can be faster depending if you play with the Fellowship or not. Very fun game. Now if only they make a computer game of that.

[quote who="cephalo" reply="10" id="2462500"]My favorite part of AoW was the multiple maps. I loved seeing a vast underground kingdom of dwarves and goblins etc. and also digging with the moles to expose new areas. [/quote] Yea the multipule mapps were pretty cool.

[quote who="Ratya48" reply="1" id="2458225"]So zoning? Like in SimCity? I would rather have residential structures be built automatically as your city grows in population, or an automatic upgrade feature where your buildings grow as needed to support population growth. (I hope the anti-automation police find this acceptable) [/quote] As long as it is optional. I like to micromanage my TBS game.

(which I believe was space bar) making it true turn-based. Very few people did this, because it was kinda annoying (you say "go here and attack" and that command doesn't really change [/quote] Everyone that I know that played the Baulder Gate series set th

[quote who="MagicwillNZ" reply="2" id="2458146"] My worry is that when companies that are known for the traditional TBS type games start to create a hybrid it speaks to other companies completely giving up on the traditional turnbased system (especially if Elemental turns out to be a huge hit - which I believe it will). Elemental is turn based on the strategic map, as was Gal Civ. Gal Civ's battles were all auto-resolve. I don't understand how this is a dramatic departur

Well I've been looking for an updated replacment for Age of Wonders SM and so far Elemental sounds like this gould be the one. (I just hope the sea units don't just sit there like a bump on the log.) And I hope it is as moddable as AOWSM was.

I set parameters instead of making up a story ahead of time that players must follow. Instead, I create a world that ascribes to certain rules, use the dice as a "random" element to determine geographical and geological ranges during the world's creation, and then cut the players loose to discover thei

Reply to Spell research AND tech research, how? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="ChongLi" reply="24" id="2445159"]I have to admit this is probably the aspect of the game I am most skeptical about. I've always considered a sharp divide between fantasy and technology settings and I believe one of the hallmarks of fantasy is that it is stuck in a technological time warp (typically medieval times). Another cause for concern for me is the fact that the research mechanic tends to be one of the least interesting aspects of a strategy game, as players tend

I also noticed that the Colony module says it holds 500m colonist but it really only holds 250m colonist. Now it would be nice if it actully held 500 but what ever it does hold please fix the description. Thanks. Oh and the troop transport pods do hold what the description says they hold.
