[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="2680718"]I love modding but I'm not convinced they can move units. We'll see. Essence = mana cap. Nothing more or less.[/quote] This statement frightens me. As I've said in my previous post https://forums.elementalgame.com/387454 i and several others seem a bit concerned on the state of essence. We don't know what you have working in the ba
I cant wait for beta 3B. I truly hope essence has been reworked and i cant wait for tac battles.
actually at the moment it is a 1 to 1 ratio... give it a shot =)
That would be cool actually. Having the ability to siphon/leach the life essence out of a creature/object. There could be a whole race designed just for that purpose...harvesting essence.
I agree with Chizz especially with the first 2 points.
Agree with the 1 to 1 mana to essence ratio. This seems off and needs reworked.
[quote who="novagenesis" reply="13" id="2680063"] In MoM, even in FFH2, I prefer playing a reasonably strong defensive army with a purely magical offense. In this game, I almost find myself ignoring the magical aspect because I cannot make it worth even half as much in the long-term as a good sword and a high strength/constitution. Grab a few books to pick up some cheap enchants, then ignore magic entirely for martial. [/quote]</
LOL, That is more an engine problem. The game started all 3 minor nations next to each other... pretty funny!

We need the city spam in order to make food for our larger cities currently. =)
You cant create airships with the summon boat spell then add flight to it like you did in master of magic...? Fear my army of flying triremes/warships.
You put your currently super rare essence points into a caster, caster dies for one reason or another. You now have to spend the rest of the game only casting low level spells.... = Not Fun. Perhaps you may enjoy beating stuff with non magical/ casting units but i'm playing this game for the magic part. It is after all Elemental War of magic is it not? Now this of course is assuming that Essence is the rarity that it currently is. I also cannot fathom the
hmm i have multiple monitors and i havent had an issue as of yet.
Yes but now take into account the fact that you are losing casters due to loss from wars with other factions. Now how plentiful is essence?
Yes blink worked fine.
That is on a large map, and i was on turn 200ish so i havent explored the entire map. Plus i did several quests already.
Thanks =)
Currently i don't like the way Essence is handled. You seem to have a very limited amount of essence and transferring it currently is not only a pain but also means you are unable to cast higher level spells yourself. I also didn't like the 1 to 5 essence transfer of beta 3. Transferring of essence (imbue essence) should pop up a slider bar once cast this would allow you to slide the amount
Currently questing feels more like a job than something i want to do for fun. If you quickly research adventuring the land fills up with TONS of quest locations and it is a bit overwhelming. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8286385/Elemental_1278830916.jpg That is a bit ridiculous.
The book of defense still increases your movement point by .2 instead of increasing your defense.
Create an Alter, doesn't increase my essence.
Tame world does nothing Enchant Farms does Nothing the Teleport/blink line of spells dont work correctly
Drove my caravan from one town to another, caravan sat inside the town refusing to start the trade. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8286385/Elemental_1278787738.jpg
I know i say this all the time but....OMG cant wait!
Is my impulse broken or is the new build still not out yet?
