Reply to AI Diplomacy Issues in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I totally agree. Diplomacy and an economic build are my play-styles too. Rather than focusing on combat and magic improvements, I'd prefer SD works on the diplomacy system. [e digicons]k1[/e]

[quote who="charon2112" reply="15" id="2805088"]This seems like a no-brainer to me, but why doesn't your first born (if you have one) become the new sovereign?[/quote] Wait a minute...I also just noticed that under my child's picture in the game it says, "first in line for the throne...". Now it really seems like your children were designed to take over for your sovereign.

Reply to Resources for city building. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I like your ideas about being able to build unique buildings on more of the terrain. That would be a fantastic addition. [quote who="tjashen" reply="6" id="2805392"]In GalCivII, I definitely engage in planet spamming (i.e. colonizing any planet I can land a transport on). However, I do have to keep an eye on those border planets, as overlapping/increasing spheres of influence can cause those planets to change allegiance if left unchecked, and thus boosting i

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="20" id="2805400"]RPG stuff aside, I've always supported sovereign-death=game-over because it is just more fun for me strategically.[/quote] I would suggest just making like a normal strategy game, if all cities are conquered, game over. OR, if you lose your sovereign and don't have a suitable heir, you lose. That would add a whole new layer of importance to marrying and having kids.

1. More personality and distinction between "races". Right now they're almost all the same, with different color skin. 2. More "uniqueness" to the environment and buildings in cities. Every city really is the same as the last. Where is the Elemental equivalent of really high quality planets from Galciv 2?? The joy of discovering these random gems was awesome. 3. Tons and tons of random events, these were so great in GC2, I can't believe they're n

Magical quest reward question in War of Magic Elemental Forums

When I receive a magical item as a reward do I have to "use" it to get the benefit? For instance, a magical compass I received says in the description that my sight has increased +1, but it kind of makes it sound like just carrying it increases my sight. Do I have to use these items to get the results? Thanks...

[quote who="otakucore2" reply="52" id="2800779"]I just bought Civilization 5, and I'm amazed by a. how polished it is [/quote] Now, I love Civ V too, but, zoom in on a city in Civ V and you'll see a few little un-animated cubes. Compare that to the full-of-life cities of Elemental. Fully animated, little people going about their lives, talking, working. Flags wave, windmills turn...I wouldn't say Civ V is more polished.

Resources for city building. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

So, resources seem very sparse and spaced out. My question is...do you guys build cities only near these resources, so your cities are very spaced out? Or do you build cities in between where there are no resources? Thanks... :)

What are your early game strategies? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Sorry if this is a repeat post, the search function seems to be broken. So, would you guys mind sharing your early (or mid and end) game strategies. Like, what resources do you go for first? What buildings do you think are most important? How often, and how many cities do you build? Thanks. [e digicons]|-)[/e]
