Oh you might want to check out "Sword of Aragon" by SSI too. I had forgotten how good that fantasy rpg wargame was. Sadly it's a wargame story and everything pretty much plays out the same each time through it. But, i does have some random battles from random creatures while you're playing the main plot just to keep you on your toes protecting your homeland and rear properties. Since you can start out playing I think 5 different character types Barbarian, Knight, Ranger, Cleric and Wizar

[quote who="blitz1024" reply="54" id="2745300"][quote DOMINIONS III is ok also and I'd say it probably has the most robust magic system but the combat engine is pretty boring. No hands on ability and that's no fun to me.[/quote] Boring? lol I never found the battles for dominions 3 to be boring, nothing like watching 30 battle mages call down thunder and lightning all over the battle field decimating the enemy army, extra crispy. or watch the horde of undead

Reply to Yeah, late game is unplayeable... in War of Magic Elemental Forums

The OP is obviously not an EMPIRE BUILDER type. All games that are Empire builders run into this mid/end game routine with lots of units to deal with and lots of cities to deal with and lots of ai units to deal with and just LOTS OF THINGS TO DEAL WITH. Go play candlyland if you can't handle it pal. It's the way of Empire Building. Even the simpliest Empire builder out there "Empire Deluxe" is like this. Plus I don't get any slow downs on my computer playing into 300-400+ turn

Probably for me 1. Unit combat changes for the ai (needs more tactics instead of just rush in) 2. Less resources scattered around the map in the beginning. 3. AI Sovereigns having more guardians.

Well I'd have to say WARLORDS started it all then WARLORDS II then the III series which is truely the best and then finally WARLORDS IV with the 1.05 patch is really good now and the ai fantastic. Then came MAUDE or MOM as some like to call her. ;)) Best civilizationlike fatasy strategy game to date. Others tried to take the throne and the HOMM series was pretty good with II & III Age of Wonders first game was really good but they didn't add a random battle generat

Reply to A quick note from Brad on Elemental in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Well I've actually enjoyed the new innovations and the game. I can look past REDESIGNS as that's not what games are suppose to be about when released. I look at what it offers right then and there. While I might compare to other games of what it has and has not I'm not going to think or believe it needs to be like them. I've already played them so I wanted something different and I got it. Thank you Stardock et al. ;)) The game is certainly not empty and certainly not released untested. Some

I love only having to work 3 days in a row. Though it is the weekend I get the next 4 days in a row again to explore the fun and new adventures of Elemental War of Magic. I'm glad to see most of the whinning and complaining posts have disappears and others who are fans of the game are finally starting to DISCUSS how to improve this game and make SUGGESTIONS instead of DEMANDS. ;)) Well happy day all soon it will be my HAPPY DAY(S). ;))

Have the AI Focus More on build Archer/Missle Units in War of Magic Elemental Forums

If the ai would build more archer/missle units then it wouldn't so often fall prey to the first strike in melee advantage humans take. Also if the AI is the defender force the human player to move forward not the ai unless the human player has an abundance of missle/archer units. It should be known to the ai the missle/melee advantage the human player has when the combat sequence begins. So roughly a preliminary battle should be played out in the ai's head (like wargames before the Normandy i

Reply to First strike way too important? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"]It seems to me that a first attack can be extremely devestating. It's a good thing that the AI is dumb enough to approach you any old way, or else combat would never resolve. The first person who moves into attack range dies. This gets alot worse when parties and squads are involved, because taking a big hit reduces your ability to retaliate. Multiplayer's gonna be great fun, as the players each wait and wait and wait for the other guy to move in range...<br /

Reply to One Reason To Limit Item Stacking in War of Magic Stardock Forums

well considering how powerful things get as the game progresses they will have to make higher level stuff with better stats at the mid and high end of the game. I personally don't like that you can buy these items and they should be hidden away in dungeons and crypts and old castles with high level monsters and npc's guarding them. Now this is the part of the game that isn't like MOM cause that's what you had to do unless you used the forge and smithing features of the game to make your own.
