Reply to The "Caravan" mechanism in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think the farms are within the city itself. As has been stated before, to take a city one must conquer their way in to the keep. This means that food would be able to be cut off, but not by the caravan blockade. You would have to get to the tile which has the farms on it. The multi-tile cities mean that there is no caravan, but you can still conquer the various parts seperately.

Reply to Options besides civ-building in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Ya, it is a great idea. The only problem I can forsee is that unless you mod the channeler to be fun to control, battles may be a bit boring. A channeler would usually be in an army in battle, and so will need to be simple to control in battle to prevent it from being overwhelming in normal gameplay. This could leave the player of a single channeler as his army bored since they would have very little to do.

[quote who="Othello" reply="8" id="2131352"] then there's Sim City Societies... [/quote] *gag* I can't believe I actually payed money for that peice of crap. Pointless, stupid, and nowhere near the awesomeness which I had expected from a Sim City title.

Yes, Spore is probably the biggest disappointment in a long time. I first saw the E3 2006 pre-alpha build... and it looked amazing. Unfortunately, they took the great looking pre-alpha and turned it into a peice of crap. All it is good for now is kids under 10 and Sporn. Although you gotta give them props for coming up with a new art form (sporn), albiet inadvertantly.

1. It is true they are losing money (hence staff layoffs). 2. I got the impression from the msnbc article about it that he left for his own reasons rather than as a layoff. 3. I don't think EA would fire him, since he is probably one of their most profitable developers (what with the Sims and all). After reading the article: 4: "EA will hold rights to develop games that come from the company." This means that he is essentially still working for EA, just as a sl

Reply to Hi. New to Impulse / Stardock in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Hehe, ya the ship designer... You will spend quite awhile in that if you spent an hour customizing your race. The biggest problem I have is that I can't stand to play strategy games on anything but the largest of the large map sizes. This combines with my large amounts of classwork (17 semester hours and 2 high school classes) to give me a large number of unfinished save games. [e digicons]X|[/e]

NO WAIT! DON'T START IT YET!!!!! You must first inject yourself with increasing doses of pure awesomeness in liquid form for 2 weeks or the awesome shock from playing a Stardock game for the first time will kill you! The human body just wasn't meant to handle such high doses of awesome!

Reply to How are dungeons going to work? in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="4" id="2121319"] Our artists little hands would fall off... [/quote] Perhaps you could use them as special collectable items in the collecter's addition! Just put them in little sandwich bags and insert them into the boxes! Using dungeons to train units is an interesting idea. Imagine a scenario where an enemy takes the nearby town, but you still control the dungeon without them knowing it. They then move their army on to try and t

Reply to Why the future looks bright for PC gaming in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Especially with Steam sales games can be REALLY cheap for PC. Heck, a couple months back I got Mount & Blade for $7.50. If I had gone on an Xbox with that amount of money, I probably couldn't even download a map pack let alone an entire game (which gave me over 60 hours of entertainment so far). I would wager that if you buy games mostly on sale on Steam, if you combined the price of a mid range machine and games, over the lifetime you would probably be spending about the sam
