Reply to 1.09 AI Observations in War of Magic Elemental Forums

What Frogboy needs is help with the logic on the AI... I have seen his video cast of multi-threading the AI to enable it to do more, and that is a GREAT START! The AI needs a lot more logic, there are many, many smart and critical thinking folks here in these forums. Take them and invite them to post in a AI forum themed room and have different AI weaknesses in different threads to be strengthened. AI done right is a massive undertaking. Please do it right.

Reply to Too Many Cities in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think part of the problem also lies with the Area of Influence mechanic. Oupost/city spam increases populations and build queues as well as exponentially increases AOI. I think it's here to stay until it other mechanics change. This game has so much potential and yet is is soo lacking. I want it to be successful. I want the AI to have a self-preservation function to prevent it from doing reckless things, actually some AI factions should be reckless but

Reply to [1.08] [1.09] Warhammer research is by-design apparently. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Robert Hentschke" reply="7" id="2780520"]It was merely a ham-fisted fix to the Hammer of Doom. Why so much? Who knows. The last two patches/fotfixes have been full of typos, wrong tags, and all sorts of sloppy editing. Too much hotfixing because everyone is screaming fix it! There hasn't been any real weapon balancing, yet. It will happen. [/quote] Robert - I had hoped you were right but I recieved a PM from Kyro that seemed to a

Reply to Catapaults... Holy Crap!!! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

How long did Gondor's Walls last? (LOTR:ROTK) That was one short seige for one long movie! ;P I do agree with earlier comments about mobile weapons for troops and fixed weapons for structures though. Fleet you do kno that by turn 200 or so... Level 5 City- that you can build a Tower of Erogg of some such that grant +2 mana point regeneration every turn to every caster? Earth Giants(8 Mana) mana regened at +3/turn = 3 turns Ice Giant (10 Mana) = 4 tur

ATI 4850 HD 1GB Win 7 64-bit 4GB RAM Ok 1.08 improved the OOM crashes but on a large map by turn 267 I once again began getting OOM CTD's and reloads are only good for a turn or 3 before it happens again and I lose a turn or half having to go back to the savegame with Autosave set to every turn...

[quote who="DrApostle" reply="11" id="2785841"]Thanks for the replies! Regarding 4 member units, I have them. They cost a ton to make and upkeep. I use them as I wage war against the AI factions. In my current game I have more food that I produce each turn (40ish) than I gold I produce. I haven't even tapped into all my food sources because I don't need to. When you have the caravan multiplying food, there is no need. What I lack is gold. W

Reply to Because I have maces with only 6 attack, level 4 creatures scare me in War of Magic Elemental Forums

First to the OP Thank you for pointing out the flaw of kingdom weapons progression which from Maces to warhammers is currently a REGRESSION...very bad in my book. But second to the OP Adventure is the best source of gold as the game currently stands so I do not want that nerfed. As others have pointed out, build a party or squad of macemen and backed up by a party of archers and you should be able to deal with all but the worst of wandering mobs. Bring in a champ or two to
