Get a sandybridge and an awesome videocard and overclock the heck out of the sandybridge. not that EWoM needs that kind of power, but it would be fun.

[quote who="Lord Cobol" reply="3" id="2951164"]Is it really what it looks like or just a timing issue? Things happen out of order all the time (because of multi-threading??), like enemy going thru their death animation before my guy does his attack animation.[/quote] Yeah, it's real...if my soldier dies (goes through a death animation and disappears) if he had any AP left, he can still attack and kill after he's disappeared.

This may have been mentioned before, but in tactical combat, after one of my attackers dies and disappears, if he still has AP left, he can continue to attack (I guess from the grave)...

Why not just get rid of tactical combat in WoM? God, I wish they would.

[quote who="Alstein" reply="4" id="2896473"]This isn't Civ. I'm not sure having the land do things, outside of bonus tiles, would help the game be any more fun. I do think we need more variety in the bonus tiles though. Having certain land have combat modifiers like woodlands/hills/etc, or having it affect tactical maps- might.[/quote] No it isn't Civ. But there's nothing wrong with borrowing from a successf

Is it stable enough to play? That totally depends on each situation. For me, the game has crashed only once in nine months. So it's very stable for me.

I like to play loooong games, and create a story about my civilization as I go. And I can't tell you how cool it would be to have a game last through generations of leaders. It would be really cool.

They set the bar pretty high with GalCiv2, so I think some people--myself included--thought Elemental would be more similar, as far as diplomacy and the like. [quote who="Campaigner" reply="66" id="2945724"]I must be in a minority cause I don't care much about succession & diplomacy. I want it arcadey like Master of Magic where you can't abuse the A.I like you can in Age of Wonders. Houserules shouldn't be needed for main features. &nbs

The last thing Elemental needs is more time spent on the RPG aspects. They need to focus more on Empire building and diplomacy. If one wants to play and RPG, then play an RPG.

Something I love about GalCiv2 is the ability to play a long and enjoyable game through diplomacy and empire management, while never waging war or fighting. Am I right in thinking this notion basically doesn't exist in Elemental?

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="58" id="2945102"]But the question is, are you playing as your sovereign, or your empire (as in Civ)?[/quote] Most definitely, for me anyway, I play as the Civilization. But really, even in other games, like Civ or GalCiv2, you're still playing as a leader, with a name and stats or bonuses. This gave Elemental a chance to do something very new, and very cool...ruler heirs. The idea of marrying and having children is

I don't mind that it was removed from monster cards, but it was a really cool part of Sovereign creation, I'll miss it. I didn't notice it was gone because I've been using the same Sov for a few months...

Why remove it? I don't understand how it improves the game to have it gone.

[quote who="ronved" reply="2" id="2943691"] what the eff is that supposed to mean. instead of being a jerk just answer the question or go screw yourself. do not play cute because i criticized the game, this game deserves some damn criticism [/quote] If you bothered to scan the forum a little better, you might have noticed another thread bitching about the campaign that was locked. So your thread isn't just pointless, it's doubly pointless.

...because I love Galciv2. So, I turn off random monster spawning (there's none of that in GC2). I treat my sovereign like my flagship, exploring and snatching up goodie huts. In the beginning of the game, I create pioneers (like I would create colony ships in GC2) and explore with them, looking for good city spots. I don't want to fight random spiders and wolves, I want to grow an empire and interact with the other major civilizations..
