I kind of wish that it wouldn't spawn things that your faction can't use. In a recent game, playing kingdom, a warg resource, and later a darkling resource spawned right next to my capital. Maybe they could change the game so I could build on and harvest those things (but not use them) and then sell or trade them to an empire faction.

Reply to AI WARS! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="7" id="2843821"] I do lots of tweaking to the AI with each build but we don't publicize the specifics since AI strategies are highly confidential. For instance, in last night's build, the AI unit work should have been noticeably better. In tonight's build, players should notice the AI isn't quite as quick to go to war with you and are much more willing to target each other.[/quote] Thanks Brad, one question...do the AI ch

Reply to Resources and City Placement Strategy (or lack thereof) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I agree with the OP. I think part of the problem is that terrain doesn't really factor into city placement because terrain tiles aren't used by your city unless a resource is on them. In my current game, I have decent placement areas for two cities (ie: two clumps of resources), and no other resources anywhere in site. So where do I put my cities? Just in empty areas? I feel like I don't have decisions to make, it's just a matter of filling up empty space with ci

[quote quoting="post"]7. Pillage option upon city capture. There are downsides to city states or taking over cities in general. If you have a pillage option available upon capture you can then take possibly take slaves, resources and gold back to your city as a 'booty unit' as such. [/quote] My idea for a booty unit is very different. :)

I love the art on some of these spells. Do you have a guy (or gal) who just hand paints these in Illustrator? They're doing a great job whoever it is. [e digicons]\o/[/e]

Reply to Why can I sometimes not talk to roaming NPC's? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

something strange just happened. I noticed that an NPC farmer wouldn't let me talk to him, even though I had about 550 gildar. Then at 580, he let me talk to him because he wanted 580 gildar for his services! ...isn't that a bit high? And he had been wandering around the land since maybe turn 20, so he wasn't a late game NPC.

Reply to The Kingdoms vs. The Empires in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="12" id="2616103"]After reading this dev journal I get an impression that the differences between individual Kingdoms and Empires will be minor, so we'll have only two really different "factions". It's not much, but I guess more of them will be added in expansions (and mods, of course ).[/quote] If they would only put this much work into making each and every "civ" different, instead of just two (kingdoms and empires), then we'd be rea
