First off, let me tell you that no one will be able to truly answer this for you. As you've seen on the forums, the experiences vary wildly. here's my OPINION based on having this game since launch day +1 (and starting my first game with the 0-day patch). [quote]1. Is the game entertaining and fun?[/quote] Hells. Yeah. This game has kept me up way too late the last 2 nights. Will tonight too, I bet, since I'll be firing it up after pos

[quote who="Wexmajor" reply="49" id="2735850"] That's not what a fantasy game is about, that is not why I pre-ordered this game. I was promised heroes, I want heroes, not the same crap I could get in Civ 4. [/quote] Fair enough. That can be largely fixed with a mod right now, if you don't feel like waiting, where shop prices/weapon stats (I think I saw stats are tweakable, but i dunno) are tweaked to stack on the power.

Reply to Saves prior to latest patch (1.06) are now borked in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I wasn't that player, but that happened to me. Resave and reload fixed thee issues. A moot point now, I guess. I haven't tried the last update, since I heard about the "saves disabled" bit from a dev in chat prior to it going live. Edit: "I wasn't that player" was meant in reference to the SD post about save/reload.

Reply to Shards not working, not increasing damage at all in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Why can't spells be an int-int calc, instead of int-def? def seems more like a physical charateristic. I wouldn't expect dex or armor to help much against mind power type things (magic), but it would make sense to me that magic would hurt stupid creatures more than it would other sharp (high int) wizards.

Reply to Teleport not working with non-Sovereign channelers in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I beleive tehre's a later game speel ("teleport friends" or soemthing) that uses 15 mana and is for non-sovs. I have it but haven't bothered with it yet. I wish SD would remove the button to teleport for 5 mana on units who can't use it, I burned 15 mana thinking I misclicked something.

Agreed with Ichirou989 . Mod it in (ias much as you can) or request it as an option/expansion if you want more complex rules, I like it as it is now.

[quote who="Dethedrus" reply="2" id="2737237"]Good news though... a Stardock rep has posted a couple times in this thread and it's become clear that part of the problem is that shards are *NOT* being factored in at all during tactical combat. He/she also hinted at a fairly major potential overhaul of how magic damage is dealt with. [/quote] This. Also, in the thread (titled "magic shards aren't working" or soemthing like that) the devs hinted to the damage calcu

Reply to Minor 1.06 update broke my saved games :( in War of Magic Stardock Forums

it's by design, they found some bug or another that made games incompatible so they just minor updated to make old saves impossible to load. bummer, but you'll see the devs say it was on purpose on the forums, as they said in the chat room earlier too.

Reply to Shards not working, not increasing damage at all in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote who="Mtrixis" reply="42" id="2736412"]Not sure I'm a fan of hit rolls on spells. Spells consume MP which currently regenerates at 1 mp a turn, so the actual cost of a single damaging spell is very high in comparison to a simple attack by any constructed unit in the game. Spells need to be 'imbalanced' for them to be worth using, and missing with your MP investment of 2-10 turns to deal damage in comparison to the ability to summon up a new troop or teleport across the entire

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

Reply to Just finished another game on Hard/6 AI 1.06 in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Gonna throw this out there because I just learned it tonight: mana regen is crap at first, but once you hit a lvl 5 Kingdom city (all I've played thus far), you can build a +2 mana regen building. Then every unit with mana regens at +3. If you can muster another lvl 5 city (I haven't, still mastering food prod), then you can presumably build another +2 mana tower (they're listed as 1/settlement, not 1/kingdom or 1/game). I've been having a ball with masses of archers, summ

Reply to Champions - what's the point? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

champs are pretty tough. the one thing I haven't seen mentioned is the ongoing cost of soldiers + build price vs champions. seems over time that they are a better investment, doubly so if you imbue them. And all stats appear to go up during a lvl up, the only thing you are changing is the base multiplier when you add the +1. Tho I know most other games allow you to make gods, it makes more sense to me that if a human goes 1 on 1 vs a monster troll, he gets spattered

Reply to So, where are all those problems people are talking about? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

the way I see it, people who can play the game are addicted and playing, and people who can't play are complaining. :) It has some bugs e.g. shards not appearing to work in tactical combat and a lowdown that doesn't hit either proc or ram caps after playing several hours on a large map are almost all I've seen. I'm sure that with different setups there's some compatibility issues. I just recently gutted my system so I could play SC2, and I haven't had probs.

Reply to Shards not working, not increasing damage at all in War of Magic Stardock Forums
