Reply to Considerations for really large games? in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

personally I have only really considered quests like the Sins of a Solar Empire quests or AoW quests. Quests that you use to make AI personalities happy, but don't have any real other baring on the game. I support your idea bleeba. I think it would make multiplayer games much more interesting. I fear I mave little to add as well. no comment doesn't mean we don't like it.

Reply to Petition for some info on magic system plans in War of Magic Elemental Forums

yeah. Well any sort of confirmation on anything is nice. Right now they've been giving us info on the engine, which obviously is pretty done. The magic system is pretty important to us obviously, and it would save our brains a lot of ache if we knew. We know there are 12 factions, I also kinda wish we had a better idea at what they were too. I mean while we are at it, I want to hear if they are in fact having multiple worlds. Because I'm dying to

[quote]It seems there's a bit of a wave of artistry taking certain elements of the computer games industry at the moment. I'm glad Stardock is part of it, and the look is great.[/quote] It is because of how hard it is to go for just plain 'realistic' graphics. To have state-of-the-arts realistic graphics, then only the top-of-the-line computers can run it, and lower end computers either get a very poor 'low-quality' version or can't run at all. Stylized

Reply to Starbase concept re-think. in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I would have to disagree. You can't 'run past' the defences like a starbase. I tried just this thing in a multiplayer game with a friend. You set up a base... the key is to put it near the exit lanes to the inner planets, then you slap the enhancement that slows or stops phase jumping. It had that, a hanger upgrade and a defense upgrade. I watched a starbase just eat a fleet for breakfast. The fleet was pretty sizable (3 bars on the zoomed

Why can't you .... in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

My first feedback that I want to mention (which I don't see anybody else talking about) is 'why can't you place starbases?' I don't want to have to micro manage my little ship to fly him over to a spot where I want my base. I want to click on him, tell him where I want the star base, then go work on other things expecting him to fly his own butt to where I want the base and build it. It should be the same as any other building. This isn't a problem for

The mines work well enough for me. I had a pirate fleet try to attack one of my hangers and the mines just ripped him a new one. Like I was wondering if the mines were too good at close range.

I was also going to comment on the range and balance. One of the starbases can move about in the orbit around the planet, which makes it pretty awesome, while others you have to get the enemy really close for effective use (namely advent)

Reply to Super Weapons & Units in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Well, I was under the impression that it was going to be spells that were the most 'super' near end game. So I figure by 'depending how you play the game' would rely a lot on how focused you are on magic vs. military. I would expect that you could only a super weapon, super unit, or super spell (I can imagine a giant cannon like from breath of fire 4. It would 'hex' cities causing everybody in them to die and filling them with bizzar mutant creatures.)

Reply to Unique economy models for races in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I feel that the difference should only be enough to make them feel different. I've seen in other games they try to create different systems and it ends up making certain factions really hard to play. It can cause a lot of trouble balancing and such if they are wildly different. Several races that have similar economy models but very diffrent other features may work just as well or better!

Something to add was in MoM, it showed the wizard actually burst into the room of enemy wizards and banish them personally.

Reply to Considerations for really large games? in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I'm generally ok with the clossic distance limit. The thing that says cities are not allowed to be within X spaces of each other. It seems balanced enough and you can tweek it to allow for 'wilderness' between towns if you really want. What a hard limit would do is cause players to rush the first few settlements to get stratigic placement, then wait on the last few so that they can be in the apposolutly best possible location. While this sounds like 'stra
