[.98][GAMEPLAY] Earthquake spell - WOW in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

1st, it seems WAY overpowered for the price. Nukes buildings, changes terrain and kills monsters, over a wide area, and costs only 1. The raise/lower land spells cost more to hit just one square. Then, its a handy bug-workaround. I had a semi-invisible spider in a forest along a caravan route. Could see him only on the cloth-map, and nothing happened when I tried to attack him (several times, from diff directions). Earthquake killed him. It also g

[.98][gameplay] tactical battles in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

1. They seem slow-paced. Arrows fly slowly. The wind-up animations for shooting & casting spells take a little too long, etc. That's my main beef, but while I am here... 2: Arrows sometime fly off in the wrong direction (but still hit) 3: It's a bit hard to aim arrows now. If target is small, have to aim just below his feet. Was better in the prior version. 4. Don't see much point in having to click the

[.98][BUG] extreme slowdown and bad colors in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Slow like about 1 frame every 2 or 3 seconds. Colors bad like city areas of influence mostly black and most of the rest of the strategy map murky gray. Could this be related to the out-of-memory crashes ? Alt-esc out and task mgr says Elemental's mem usage is 1,032,456. XP sp3, 32-bit, 3gb ram. 512mg ati 5670. Intel core-2-duo. debug.err http://dl.dropbox.

[.98][Crash]Data Execution Prevention in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Happened after I "exited", while it was doing its cleanup or whatever, after it had gone off my screen. XP sp3, 32 bit. I always run with DEP on for all programs except those I tell it not to.

Reply to [Crash] DX Error: Invalid call in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

So. Alt tab or alt-esc, then back in. Dx-error and out and it is dead & gone. Considering how long the system is busy with memory cleanup or whatever when I exit normally, the dx-error seems to be about the fastest way to actually get out. So, its a "feature", not a "bug" :)

Reply to .92[suggestion][bug?] 'this does not fit unit' in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Seems kinda messed up now. And I've had custom sovies unable to wear boots or cloaks even though I did NOT give them any boots or cloak in the sovie design screen. My current sovie was not able to wear the cheapo greaves she found early in the game, but she can wear the full leather armor I made later. Just don't understand.

Reply to [Crash] DX Error: Invalid call in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I get a dozen dx error messages a day. I think the devs have said that is usually a bad graphics card or buggy driver. There can't be as many bad cards in the world as there are beta-testers getting these errors -- :) -- and I, at least, never have a problem with anything except Elemental.

Reply to Anyone Concerned about the release date? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Release date in late Aug doesn't scare me. RTM / gold-date in early Aug does. The game starts out fine for me, then become unplayable after I get a few cities. The RTM version really needs to be better, especially if, as Froggie has stated, reviewers traditionally that version.

[.92][BUG] neutral king standing around in my territory in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

He was standing just outside my territory when my city leveled-up and put him inside my turf. He's been sitting there without moving for a few dozen turns. 1: Shouldn't he move out, since we aren't at war but don't have any treaties? I'm pretty sure he he would not be permitted to move in now. 2: Pretty lame AI having him just sit without doing anything for so long. 2.5: for that matter, kinda lame that his AI also had him sitting th
