I pre-ordered Elemental way back... in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

I initially thought maybe I would be intrested in the beta for fallen enchantress but WoM left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, so I had decided to hold off until the final version was added to my account. I'm looking forward to it. I just wanted to ask a couple questions, I would likely already know the answers If I had been following along with beta development, but I havent so... 1. Will I be able to add it steam? or is this just a Stardock only copy? I'm

Its been a while since I checked, Is it fixed yet? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

This may be kind of a long post, and I know Im going to be asking questions that the more dedicated community members have heard a million times. A couple of my questions are not strictly Elemental questions either. Apologies for that in advance. I pre-ordered elemental a gazillion years ago, I was one of the people crammed into the chat rooms on impulse for the midnight launch, and despite all the promise it was one of the most disappointing games I have played

Reply to I REALLY don't like the city building limit in War of Magic Elemental Forums

If your AI actually evaluates its resources and compares them to a pre planned timescale, its not hard to make the AI expand at a specific pace. The problem is that then you wind up with a very predictable AI, it always plays the exact same way under the same circumstances. Also if your AI doesnt just cheat like crazy, it simply wont be capable of the sort of map swallowing expansion you often see in 4x AI's. it will get the second town out fast, and then it will be stuck for a

Reply to I REALLY don't like the city building limit in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think Founding new citys should be cheap initially and become ridiculously expensive as you build more of them. AND that the tile limit should be something that starts at a fixed value but can be increased by the construction of specific stuctures(actually you could just tie it into prestige we already have structures that can increase prestige and they are appropriatley limited) and by research. Example: 1st city=FREE 2nd city=50 gildar (early game this is a

Reply to Maps not Random (vers 1.00) in WOM Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="2722500"]It randomly generates map, but the continents land masses use seeds. And if you want true fractal randomness, you can delete the seeds but all balance goes out the door.[/quote] AHH, I see that makes sense from a programmatic stand point.

Reply to Sunday Morning has come and Gone, "Midday" is just about over? Update Please? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

In retrospect it propably would have been wiser if frogboy had said that the game will be released EARLY, and not given a date/time. Because now they have missed three vague-psuedo-deadlines the beta people getting it early, the preorder people getting it early, and a little over three hours ago frogboy said it would be a couple more. Don't get me wrong I'm as calm as ever, just sitting around sipping my $5 cup of coffee and watching the forums burn with the strength of a

Reply to Sovereign balance in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="tid242" reply="4" id="2720225"]Well, it's the same way in GalCiv2 whereby the pre-made races included bonuses would entail more points than are available if one were to build them as 'custom' races. I suspect that a part of this is that with the pre-made races (in GC2) or sovereigns (Ele) is that they include things that you wouldn't otherwise spend points on. Such as receiving all 4 elemental spellbooks + life, or 15 points for a spear, et

Reply to Who's your sovereign? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Anyone else planning on naming the sovereign Jesus? And then designing his outfit/appearance to match? Flavor text: Nothing can stand before the might of the lord! Start renaming everything to match that context. So many funny jokes that could come up in that kind of campaign.... I think its only MILDLY sacrilegious. Barring that my First sovereign will be sir moron of Whoopass. But thats because I know that my first
