Reply to Story Generator in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Yeah, I remember that. I think they took it out because it could only generate rough stories rather than interesting ones. I dont think it helped that a buch of people on the GC2 forums were dedicated story AAR writers with alot of creativity and attention to detail that SD probably did not want to try to compete with with computer generated stories. They DID put an event calandar in instead that lists events (like when technologies became available and war declarations) so you could go in an

You guys do realize that ork with a 'k' is the Warhammer 40,000 way of spelling orc and not the real fantasy way right? Although, so many people get it wrong these days (a side effect from DoW I suppose) that I'm not sure why I even bring it up anymore.

Reply to Dawn of War 2 Multiplayer Beta Impressions and Walkthrough in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Oh, I have a quick question for you guys. Upon watching some of the recent Relic Multiplayer videos over the DoW2 website, I noticed each team was one race only (Players on Team 1 were SM while the players on Team 2 were all Orks, etc). Are you be able to mix it up in terms of races that compromise a team (ex. Team 1= Orks and SM with Team 2=Eldar and Tyranid) or will each team have to pick a single race? Also, will there be the option for players to be the same race as y

Seeing as how I liked CoH better than DoW 1 (although DoW 1 was still amazing), I really cant wait for DoW2. Thanks for the preview guys. I hope the IG manage to make it in the game eventually, either as DLC or in an expansion. Until then, I plan to serve the Emperor using Space Marines. [e digicons]:cylon:[/e]

Reply to Elemental Inspirations II in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

From Inspirations I: "The dark energy (what some might call “magic”)..." This basically confirms 'magic' in the game is really dark energy which we all know is present in the Galciv universe (see latest Drath/Altarian tech trees in ToA). Thus I have two theories I want to get off my chest. Number 1, there will be a human faction known as Altaria (probably good with research anad perhaps with stronger magic capabilities). Number 2 that the dragons in

Reply to Of Dragons in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'm glad dragons are not a playable race. When I thought the Beasts were a playable race and read their background, i wondered how SD could balance the awsomeness that is an army of Dragons. Its a much better mechanic to have them neutral (whether visable on the map or not) and be able to recruit them.

Sounds interesting. And you do know that SD is making it really easy to mod your own races into the game to offset only two playable races from the start right? Thus, you could make your Necromancer race and your others if you felt like spending the time to do it.

Never played MoM, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. That said, this game is looking good to me so far and I love GalCiv2, which was my first real TBS game. I will be watching closely.

Reply to Random map generation? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Oooooh, I like the sound of designing just parts of the world to randomly include in random map generation. To my notebook to start drawing random landforms!

Reply to Weather System in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Now that I think about it, SD could "borrow" how seasons/weather work from the Total War series. Certain areas (usually more northward) turn snowy in winters (which in blizzard conditions on the battle map turns visability to near zero). Deserts turn hotter in summer, but I never really campaign in desert areas in TW so I dont really know what advantages or disadvantages fighting in the desert has. In addition, TW has random storms generating in oceanic areas (more to foil fleets slig

Reply to Weather System in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I'm not a programmer so I may simply be uninformed, but I think that a weather system might be hard for SD to incorperate. That said, It would be awsome if they did! In addition to the above suggestions, perhaps give races an option to become stronger during certain seasons and weaker during the opposing season (ex. Strong in summer, but weak in winter)???

Reply to Number of Races, Units and Spells in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Apparantly only three SD created races, but potentially unlimited when you consider the fact that we will be able to mod our own races and share them with other users with ease. I'm already thinking about which race I will make first.
