Reply to "Monster Economy" ruins economy balance - multiple balanced ways to earn money preferable? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="thisisretarded" reply="10" id="2760719"] Quoting AbsynthMinded, reply 5Not all monster types should carry coin. Humanoid monsters I'd be fine with, but wolves and what not, should not be able to carry coin at all. wolves and what not are not "carrying" coin, rather you are given an amount of gold equal to the value of their hides. the creature descriptions occasionally describe this... edit: i think it is really funny

Not all monster types should carry coin. Humanoid monsters I'd be fine with, but wolves and what not, should not be able to carry coin at all. Now in the early campaign there's a spider lair. If Monsters of all sorts had lairs from which they spawned, then I would suggest no monsters should have coin on them unless your Sov or army is assaulting a lair.

Reply to There is so much not detailed .. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

There's learning curve then there oversight.. This falls into oversight as choosing where to build a city or what resources to bother developing is a major tactical componant. Having the 'Rule' vague and confusing takes away from the other aspects of the game.

There is so much not detailed .. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I like the game, I enjoy the game even as.. diminished, as it is. The trouble I'm having is all the little details not explained.. Primarily, building territory improvements. I thought building a city would apply a link to all developed resources within 5 tiles of the center city tile. So far this has not always proven to be accurate. Like certain improvements will link at farther than 5 tiles (Libraries), other will not link unless apparently physically attached to a city (Scenic Views)..</p

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="37" id="2755521"]It's pretty easy to make minor factions do more so I'll take your suggestions and do exactly that. Minor factions will focus on building one kick-arse metropolis but they won't expand. [/quote] Do not forget to have them manage their economies and defenses well. They may not wish to really expand buy they should stop being pushovers. Deploy defenses, make better troops for as much as your economy will allow. Seek trade t

Polysci is about as useful a degree as Art History. No where can you apply such a degree without having a nose so brown your ethnicity could be called into question, or causes one to stoop so low as to be diagnosed with a spinal disorder.

What is minimum distance for rescources to be 'linked' to a city? in WOM Support Elemental Forums

and what if anythign affects this? I found an old bug thread on issues like what I'm seeing.. Resources within ZoC, but not identified with any city, and nothing seems to modify this by building closer to the tile or growing the city. It would appear static to the center point of where the city is founded. Where can I find other info or is this a bug resurrected or what? https://forums.elementalgame.com/389196

Grateful they checked out as I'd hate for a patch that would regress to worse than where things stand today. I can start games and play to 200-300 or so turns then have to start a new game... as sad as it sounds its still entertaining... just not as entertaining as actually finishing one off.

Reply to What is it about THIS game that's so important? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

given recent events and statements I'd say Elemental is half as good as its supposed to be. I am having to wait till late fall for the est of the game knowing ill have to start new games with every update.. The game has potential, but lacks depth and stability. these are what I expect to change a lot by then.
