[quote who="SPARTANVI" reply="88" id="2661258"] Generally, when software is in its beta phase, it's "feature complete." Probably more likely to lose "features" as time goes on; users may find issue with certain mechanics.[/quote] This game is not anywhere near feature complete.

Reply to [Suggestion/Gameplay] I Miss Unhappiness in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Streamlined? Yeah, the personality has been streamlined right out the damn window from what I've seen so far. My cities in Civ, and my planets in GalCiv felt like things that needed to be taken care of. And it wasn't very hard to do so. My cities in Elemental have been feeling more like factories with each iteration of the beta.

In the Civilization research tier, certain improvements require your City to be of a certain level. Will the Magic research requirements involve City level? If so, will that just be granted to us, since we won't be upgrading housing and such this time around? (F

So when Brad state that the new engine "...sacrifices RAM for greater performance..." did he mean sacrificing ram usage through efficient programming and resource management, or sacrificing RAM like lambs to slaughter Rambs to the slaughter?

Reply to [Gameplay] [Discussion] City Building: too complicated or not enough so? Two schools of thought. in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

What I would really like to see is the current gardens/farms system completely thrown out. Age Of Wonders had this really great aesthetic touch where farmland would pop up around the cities. If I were to construct an outpost and a hut, and I spent my attention else where the people in the town should start turning all the available tiles into farmland. Food production would grow as the population grew. I could freely build over these tiles with improvements to level the town u

Reply to [Gameplay] [Discussion] City Building: too complicated or not enough so? Two schools of thought. in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I don't like this new direction at all. Before this change with the gardens and a few of the farming boost I could have a nice sprawling town dedicated to nothing but food production and have that support the food needs of a larger research/military focused metropolis. It felt, and looked pretty natural. Now all my cities are extremely similar. They have all the possible buildings and I don't have to make any choice early on about what to build where. The entire kingdom management sid

Reply to [Beta 2A] [Suggestion] Armies too fast in late game in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

there is no way for an infantry army, by itself moving 7 or 8 tiles per turn would NOT feel weird. And equipping them all with magical boots/crystal meth to achieve anything greater than 3 or 4 tiles per turn should take a very very long time and be very very expensive.

A few stupid Questions! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

One of the weapon researches I saw was “Katanas”. That seemed terribly out of place given the very European medieval fantasy setting. Are there any plans to introduce additional non-European styled factions later on? Middle Eastern, and Indochinese cultures have a great history of mysticism and not to mention warfare that often go overlooked! How greatly has the Beta community influenced the “grand vision” a

Reply to [Gameplay] The Scale of Elemental map and cities in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="Myles" reply="2" id="2652333"]The current map is very small compared to the maximum size. Check this thread.[/quote] I find that comparison to civ4's map sizes invalid considering how much space is used by city sprawl. Saying "Our maps are 250% bigger!" while the cities occupy 640% of the space kind of makes that a moot point for me.
