Reply to Stardock hires Civ 5 lead designer Jon Shafer in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Personally, I was extremely disappointed with Civiilization 5 but that's no reason to be rude to Jon Shafer. The lion's share of the blame with Civilization 5 has to go to 2K Games and Firaxis in my opinion for trying to appeal to the mass market and dumbing down the game. I'd wager that that certainly wasn't Jon Shafer's vision. I for one, am happy Jon Shafer is joining Stardock. I am positive he will make Elemental very mod friendly and will also be a

Definitely agree that they have to do something about water. They need resources in the ocean to make it more useful.

The specialist system sounds good and the building maintenance should cut down on city spam to an extent or at least early in the game. The new global magic system I am not so sure about. I guess the proof will be in the pudding/patch.

Reply to Kael and Fall From Heaven in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Maybe I am missing something here but is the above poster having an argument with himself??? [e digicons]o_O[/e] I like lots of lore myself. I loved the story behind Fall from Heaven and all the work Kael put into it. I also like the story behind Elemental. It definitely could use some more fleshing out though. I would definitely like to see a well done mod with Dwarves, Elves, Halflings, Orcs etc as well.

Having played all the Civs starting back in 1991, I can definitely say I do not like Civilization 5. The combat system definitely is improved but the problem is that the combat AI (and much of the rest of the AI) is so abysmal that it ruins it. Firaxis has a lot of work to do. I quite like the Elemental combat system. It does need some more fleshing out and balancing but it's a very good base. :) I also loved the way Age of Wonders handled combat. [e digicons]:inlove:[/e]

Very well written. [e digicons]k1[/e] I too loved playing the Age of Wonders series and Master of Magic. True classics. Elemental has enormous potential and so much room to grow. Glad I'm on board.

I'll admit I found it strange when I met another faction who had a much bigger military than I had. So they declared war on me. A while later, that faction (whom I am still at war with) tells me this other faction (which I have never met) is getting too powerful and that I should declare war on them. [e digicons]#:([/e]

Hee hee. I see there are many people I recognize here. Anyway, I bought the Elemental WOM special edition last month and I thought I'd really get into it now. Cool to see you here. :)

Reply to A bored Civ 5 player in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

I too find Civilization 5 to be extremely dull. Extremely disappointing game. Elemental is a breath of fresh air. It's not perfect by any means but I find it fun now and it's just going to get better. I loved Master of Magic, Age of Wonders and Fall from Heaven II. If its a blend of those games then its truly going to be fantastic. [e digicons]:inlove:[/e] I also must concur in that it's very cool to

Personally, I'd prefer to wait for the engine to be modified to accommodate the Calvary upgrades. I think it's the wisest course of action, even if the patch is delayed for awhile.

Nice to hear from you Kael. I look forward to seeing your creativity and talent put to use with Elemental. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Glad to hear about Eden, Valkrionn. I loved FFH2 Fall further plus. Absolutely wonderful. Sounds like it'll be great and very welcome news considering the massive disappointment ciV was. [e digicons]X|[/e] Hopefully Kael is given carte blanche to make the changes he feels necessary to make Elemental into a super game. I loved Age of Wonders and hope that Elemental can be as fun as that one was. :) I need my fantasy 4X fix. Hee hee.

[quote who="falconne2" reply="39" id="2801942"] Quoting Annatar11, reply 25There's no crusade, I'm only expressing my opinion and not trying to convince anyone. The facts speak for themselves, there is no disservice in the truth. Last I saw the list on the forum's site, there were 13 "credits" for artwork/music, 3 or 4 of which were labeled as having been used with permission, and at least one of the ones that were not used with permission requested that the artist be contacted to w
