[quote]B} Stardock said limited damage types because there's no fun with other damage types. *IMPROVEMENT: We need multiple damage types not only because of creature/unit mythology, but also because of the multiple terrain types. First the importance of poison damage allows for a slow death instead of the usual *wack* units dead... this slow death also adds fun giving the player a chance to still save the unit. Second cold/ice damage can have the effect to slow targets caus

Reply to Poll: Do we NEED Magical Damage Types? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

You don't really NEED magical damage types. I think there are plenty of other ways to do it that would be more fun. I worry that damage types for spells makes each element a clone of the other. Fire damage spell, ice damage spell etc.. If you want some units to be damaged more by some spells than others you can make that a part of the spell. What is better than damage types is making sure that each element is completely unique from the others. &nbsp

Reply to …It is time to discuss….DEATH!!!! (or at least combat) in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

So many people asking for damage types, but I don't think they're necessary. Even with the magic casting. What would be far more interesting than damage types for spells is interesting effects that define the nature of the element type of the spells. Fire spells do lots and lots of damage for example, water spells could have ice that slows units down. I'd rather have a variety of ways to USE magic than a variety of damage types. Damage types don't add

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="55" id="2414036"] About "Eye Candy", to be able to select the gender of our troops with no more effects than just the visuals (which at least I'd like to get that) is nothing more than Eye Candy. It means actually nothing because if has no real effect in game and therefore could be completely ignored from the game as "a waste of resources". Customizing your Sovereign could somehow have the same flaws but at least is considered a "fun factor" tha

[quote who="PurplePaladin" reply="94" id="2413360"] So what your saying is Stardock Labor Force + User Interface Resourses = Time to Beta 1B [/quote] ummm.... That equation doesn't resolve the way you think it does. your equation suggests that The more labor force for example stardock has the greater the time to beta 1b is.

Reply to [Suggestion] Female friendly features in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Changing hair At-Will seems kind of silly in this type of game, however. Can you imagine playing multiplayer and waiting as your opponent visits the hairdresser for the fourth time this game? Perhaps a particular rare event, though ALA "Gandalf the white" could allow a player to completely redesign his/her character's physical characteristics appearance included.

You're talking about weapons Darth Maul style. The advantage of a double bladed weapon above dual wielding is simply reach in my opinion.
