[quote who="OsirisDawn" reply="58" id="2424203"]Quoting Frogboy, reply 10The dragon in both. I like it. A (standard western) dragon should'nt be beaten by swordsmen. And why are you making him artificaly stupid by negating his breath attack? Also, one tail sweep through the ranks of those soldiers should kill many and knockdown the most. A dragon should be able to to crush the morale of soldiers in an instant, if he puts attention to it. In short: Dragon

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="95" id="2422960"]The real problem with resistances as a generic stat is that it flattens magical variety. Every elemental damage type would require equally powerful attack spells for example. The spells would even have to be identical except for the damage type (think Final Fantasy Fire Ice Lightning- which is caused by it's heavy use of elemental damage types and resistances.)... Why? I literally have no idea why that would have t

What exactly is the behavior we're looking for in the roads? Perhaps we do something kind of like what we have now (although a more attractive UI for it) but with the ability to modify the intended direction. Choose build roads from a city, choose the destination city and a proposed path is displayed,this path can be bent and stretched to how we would like. Although not knowing exactly what the concern is with the roads, nor the intent for the roads I have no ide

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="93" id="2422886"] There has only been one suggestion of a mechanic that would achieve similar effects that wasn't also absurdly convoluted - and that was Tridus's. It is effectively the same mechanic but represented in a different way; his suggestion was both somewhat more complex but also a little more powerful.

[quote who="VicenteC" reply="83" id="2422214"] About damage types, for example, you can have just a magic resistance attribute. Or you can give spells a rank (or use mana cost) and make units inmune to spells with a level (or cost) lower than a certain number. Those are pretty straightforward ways of handling magic. And yes, those examples can't model someone that only resists fire, but damage types and inmunities can't model someone that only resists

[quote who="zigzag" reply="14" id="2421579"]I think RTS games get a bad rap from TBS players who discount the mental acuity it takes to make decisions at the rate that progamers do. That said, Elemental's battles should be TBS. [/quote] If you mean the mental acuity it takes to memorize and repeat a sequence of tasks and to train yourself to do them very quickly, yes. I agree..

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="67" id="2421503" Again, my point is not that each and every one of these games should be planned for Elemental. My point is merely that none of the above scenarios can be done without magic resistance types, except possibly via horrendously contrived and convoluted means (which would be significantly more complicated and confusing then just having 5 or 6 magic resistance types).

[quote who="Raven X" reply="58" id="2421269"]Ok, I understand where those of you saying "it's not original" are coming from. That's true, but, think about this. Why is Elemental what it is? Why was AoW what it was? All these games are based after MoM and the other old school strategy games right? Those games all did SOMETHING right. If they didn't we wouldn't have played them and we wouldn't be looking forward to Elemental now. All these strategy games follow some kind of rudimentary formula.

Fire Resistance is used for reducing/decreasing the effect and secondary effect of the fire element.
