Fall from Heaven 2 sort of had trophies when you played the Doviello. They helped add culture and money to the city they were added to if you had the proper building built. I like the idea of using the boss monster you killed for various things as mentioned above. Extra morale is a nice idea. It'd be cool to kill a white dragon and be able to use it's scales to make cold resistant armour if you the proper building or kill a highly poisonous creature and

Lol. I guess I didn't think that out too well. Of course MoM was inspired by MtG! *slaps forehead* [e digicons]x_x[/e] I must be getting old. Ha ha! tanafres, you are right. The magic system in MtG is still one of the best ever. Even after 17 1/2 years of playing, it's still horribly addicting. So, if E:FE is going to closely pattern MoM the

Nice interview and good to hear from Derek and Jon. They really seem to love Stardock it seems. Also, happy to hear that Derek and many people at Stardock are huge Magic the Gathering fans. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I'd love to see a little Magic the Gathering influence in E:FE if possible.
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="16" id="2963340"]I like the idea in general about divergent paths for WoM and FE. But, yea, I don't think there is enough resources to make WoM really good. But, also, you really can't work on teh AI until you have most of the game finished, so Brad working on WoM now really doesn't take any resources away from FE. I'm sure that Brad has everyone working on FE that needs to be right now. So, why not make WoM better. I
Gameplay and good AI>Speed. Within reason of course.

Not sure if this got mentioned already but M.U.L.E. was truly an awesome game for its time and a game I considered groundbreaking. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I think I'll play it again for old time's sake. ^^ http://www.planetmule.com/
Interesting article but it felt like it was unfinished and left me wanting more.
[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="14" id="2959872"] AI is the last thing you do. It doesn't do much good to code AI while the game is being significantly altered. I wouldn't want Brad to put real time into the AI before getting some real playtest time so we can get feedback on whats fun, what we need more of, what we need less of. The decision is, do we lock our design, do AI work, then release playtest for minor tweaks (mana cost o
[quote who="id_est" reply="10" id="2959808"]Lol, the AI is Achilles' heel of WoM. And Stardock just making new shiny things for next game, "ohh, forget about ai programmers".

Would love to see something implemented along these lines with walls and sieges.

Beautiful stuff. I can see what you mean about Fable 2. There is something to be said about consistency. You make the artwork really come alive It sets a mood and leaves a wonderful impression. Seriously, you are on to something here. :) Hope the music that accompanies it is as good as the artwork. </
Fallen Enchantress and Torchlight II. I think Diablo III will be 2012 and frankly, I don't know about it. It looks great in some areas and not very good in others. Region locking is also super lame. Crusader Kings II is going to be awesome but I think that's 2012 as well. EDIT: I checked out that Skyrim. It does look pretty darn cool. Bonus points for the mammoths. ;)
I wasn't too impressed with much at this year's event. Torchlight II looks awesome though. :)

No, there won't be a polish translation of WoM. I guess its not impossible that if it does well they could translate the expansion (FE), but there's been no suggestion it's going to happen either. How many technologies in Elemental? In game missing expanded encyclopedia ;/. -- Tho

Civ 5 or Elemental?[/quote] I play Civilization 5 after each patch to try it out again. It just doesn't do it for me, unfortunately. I blame meddling 2K Games. I think their vision of the game was not the same as the designer's. Marketing bigwigs and shareholders won out. [e digicons]#:([/e] <p
