Reply to Where's the "Death Magic"? in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="mormegil" reply="3" id="2401781"] Life and Death magic are two sides of the same coin so to speak, The Sovereign of you race is a channeler, and his nature determines the nature of the “the 5th mana” If he/she is good then it si what we would call “Life” mana, if he/she is evil that it becomes what is called “Death Mana” but is all drawn from the same source, which is easiest to just call Life.

Where does customization fit in the beta schedule? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

When will sovereign and unit customization (mounts/weapons/armor) be implemented? I dont see it on the beta track. I know we can view a few weapons right now but the sword is still misplaced on the units hand and the armor/shield still doesnt show up. Not complaining though, just want to know when we can expect it. Thanks!

Reply to The Mage Tower not in a City in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="mormegil" reply="10" id="2391938"]Once you have the tech, you can build a settlement that is just the outpost, and what ever, so you could have A Wizzards tower, with a small settlement around it. [/quote] Right...but I thnk he is talking about just a tower without a settlement. Also, will it just be a tower or will it serve some purpose as he mentioned above...

Reply to The Mage Tower not in a City in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I believe the Dev's had mentioned that there will be various towers throughout the game (outside your cities) that you can obtain via quests/fighting monsters. I havent heard anything about being able to build towers that serve various purposes. Great concept though!

Dual-Wielding in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I already posted this in the general forum but Raven asked that I post it here so he can put it in the comprehensive list. Self explanatory though...I think dual wielding should be in!

Dual-Wielding in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I can't remember if there has been any discussion on dual-wielding as of yet but I hope it makes it into the game! I have an awesome idea for a custom unit I want in my army but I'll be a sad panda if they dont offer it as an option!

Reply to Important Elemental MP tidbit from PAX - Hosting own servers in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"] This hasn't been mentioned anywhere yet that I've seen, and it wasn't part of the official presentation. However, there was a bit of a ruckus on the forums recently after Brad mentioned that they might filter out people with very low upload bandwidth on the Stardock servers. At PAX, a question was asked if people would be able to host their own servers and the answer was: YES. Stardock will provide their own servers where they will be able to

Reply to Elemental: PAX Preview Part 2 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="11" id="2365097"] Yet, you go on to say that the reason you wont include graphics in the first few beta builds is because it should be fun without them. The cloth map allows us to implement new features quickly and easilly (read: without making the 3d assets for them). If a new feature sucks, we can remove it without having wasted time on the assets. It's 1 step up from developing as ascii version...you get the gameplay fun, then add in the visual pizaz

Im also glad to hear that PAX was a success. ...I never understood why you guys keep talking about how the beta cloth map WONT BE FUN. Yet, you go on to say that the reason you wont include graphics in the first few beta builds is because it should be fun without them. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but seems a bit contradictory.

[quote who="SavageBananaMan34" reply="3" id="2364640"]CapnWinky, you shouldn't have to send an army to scout. Sending a specialized recon unit or a squad of grunts (hoping one of them will make it back) should be an option too. [/quote] I never mentioned an army. Any of your customized units should have to explore any dungeon or what have you just like in real life. If I go explore a cave...I'm not going to find a piece of paper in the entrance telling me what's in there. N

Reply to Scouting and Ruins in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I understand where you guys are coming from but I disagree. I think part of the fun of exploring ruins/dungeons/towers is not knowing what to expect. I think it's pretty cheap to get a bestiary report just by going up to a location. If you want to scout something out...then do it the ol' fashioned way and go explore and get the heck out of there if it's too dangerous. Now, this is based on the assumption that the locations mentioned above are explorable.

I think you did an awesome job. I would've been able to tell what it was right away had you not made a description. I really like the aerial (top down) look. I hope you are involved in an LOTR mod when this game comes out.
