[SUGGESTIONS] Economics UI in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

A few suggestions: 1. In the build list, display possible buildings on the left and city stats on the right. When a building is selected, turn city stats red or green (for decreases or increases) and indicate the change (i.e., city stat A was 24, the building will make it 22; display in red 22 (-2) or 24 - 2). 2. Card graphics should be informative. While very pretty, a playing card motif devotes two thirds to three quarters of the card real estate to a

Reply to Keeping your sovereign alive: The Sequel! in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I like the idea. If you're in a situation where your your capitol city is being sieged, the idea that your game could end with a dice roll doesn't strike me as unreasonable (Sins of a Solar Empire?). There are plenty of games where if you lose your capitol, it's game over. Here you actually have another safety net - your sovereign may escape. It's largely a question of how you view the game concept. If you are playing an empire, like in civilization, then losing

Reply to [SUGGESTION] Technology ideas in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

That's a great idea! Historically civilizations tended to develop technologies based on their available resources, and your idea would help capture that. The best horsemen tended to be plains dwellers and the best ship builders were near waterways and bodies of water.

[SUGGESTION] Technology ideas in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I like the idea of the first country to reach a new technology gaining some additional benefit from doing so. A general problem with tech trees is that the player wants to gain some advantage through research, but many times the player is able to get so far ahead that the game is decided (the classic tanks vs. mongol cavalry in civilization). How can this be avoided without taking away all of the advantages of research? One way is to give advantages to the first pl

Reply to [BUG] Units randomly become visible even when covered by Fog of War in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I, too, observe this regularly, although not only when my units are moving. Much of it seems to occur at the periphery of the FOW - units will flicker in and out as the map is scrolled. Looks like something is going on with the sight range varying.

[BUG] Opponents appearing different than selected in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Altar was present as well as Kraxis, but Altar's sovereign got wiped the turn before I was going to take the screen shot. In any case, neither Altar nor Kraxis were selected

Your points are well taken.

Reply to [BUG] DISAPPEARING TERRAIN WHEN LOADING in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I am aware that it is a well known bug. However, the posting guidelines you refer to do not address this issue, and other posts indicate that Stardock is interested in the frequency with which issues appear as well as their existence. Stardock's interest in the surveys appears to be largely in order to get a handle on the frequency of certain issues.

[BUG / CRASH] Full Screen Issues: ALT-TAB / Jing not in foreground in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I originally ran the game at full screen resolution - 1920 x 1080. However, Jing did not appear in the foreground and ALT-TABing back and forth causes a variety of bad things to happen (as noted by other posts - map details disappear, lock-ups), so I switched to using a Windowed version at lower resolution.

[BUG] Saving Problem Fixed in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Uninstalling and reinstalling the program made the Save button functional. However, now experiencing problems with corrupted saves when quitting the program and restarting (separate bug post on that, though).

[BUG] DISAPPEARING TERRAIN WHEN LOADING in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

This bug only appears when I quit the program and then restart. Going to main menu and loading appears to work fine. However, when quitting the program and then restarting and loading, cities and terrain (i.e., ruins, fertile areas, etcetera) disappear.

[SUGGESTION] in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Currently there does not appear to be an obvious way to tell if a unit is on auto-explore or not. In some games a note will come up that you are turning it off, and in other games it will not.
