Reply to Tiny event/resource/etc density - What am I doing wrong? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think it depends on the game really. I've noticed in Sandbox mode that the resources are generated randomly (as far as amount as well as where they are located). So some games, I have alot of resources, and others it's kind of barren. However, keep researching the adventure tech tree. There are techs to unlock more resources, techs that unlock quests, and techs that raise your notable location level. It's not too intuitive on which does what, so read the description of each tech carefully.

[quote quoting="post"]In descending order of my degree of longing: 1. As it is now, there's no way to find out how much money you need to hire someone until after you already have the necessary amount. 2. Whiel I'm at it, I wish you could cast a spell by double-clicking it in the spellbook. [/quote] 1. That's not true. Left click on the NPC in question. Then in the bottom left of the UI, the hire button will be grayed out, either hold

Not only that, but you don't HAVE to log in to play the game. Only if you want updates. Or play multiplayer, but thats kind of obvious.

Reply to Should I buy this game right now? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Well, it all depends on who you ask. Some people are still experiencing some bugs and crashes (though I think some has been blown out of proportion). I am not having any problems with it right now. I think it's a game well worth purchasing (obviously because I have it) seeing as I pre-ordered, and have played the beta. Yes, it's true there are things that can be tweaked, but in my mind, for being just released, the game is great. I mean, they put out the pre 0 day build on sunday (well, reall

[Suggestion] Gameplay balance in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I noticed that alot of people are complaining about balance. I think the game is actually better balanced than some people realize. It varies depending on the skill, map size, and how many other factions you play against. How about this idea? Have a "best balance" button on world creation where you simply pick the size of the map, and the game automatically picks the best factions to play against (along with dif lvl), and the correct amount of them to make the best balance. I don't know, just

Not having a build queue is a real time waster. 3) Make End Turn Button Mandatory -- Stardock obviously thinks it's a great i

You know, I see what some of you are saying about this. But things aren't always that easy. Like it has been posted on here before, they had a choice of releasing it Aug 24, or sometime in February next year. I agree, things are a little weird here and there, but at least for me, the game has been solid now since the updates. I can alt tab without a problem. I played for about 3 or 4 hours straight before bed last night. It's not just a case of "we're not ready, push it back a month". They do

Reply to SOLVED]Elemental Startproblems in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I dont think it's a Win7 64 problem. As I, and alot of other people here have Win 7/64 with no problems. Only thing I can think of is are you sure you're logging into Impulse with the correct account/password? Sounds like Impulse doesn't think you have the game, when apparently you do. You shouldn't have to do any activation since the game is tied to your Impulse account.

[Bug] During campaign. Sov mysteriously dies... in WOM Support Elemental Forums

So I was playing the campaign, and sailing my army around when all of a sudden, I lost by conquest. Nothing appeared, I couldn't see what the hell happened. I just died somehow (along with about 20 archers, and 20 other soldiers, and the other frigate filled with soldiers). If there's some weird sea creature killing me, I want to see it damnit! I don't mind getting my ass kicked once in a while (challenge is what makes a game good), but not knowing what the hell happened is really annoying. A

Thoughts on Empires in Beta 4... in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Well, I have to say that it's definitely better now than in previous betas I've played (only since 3A). It's nice to be able to train a Raid of troops, with more "experience". Although in a weird way, I'm disappointed. It plays alot like the kingdom. They look a bit different, but they play very similar. Ok, empires use wargs, kingdom horses...but there's no strategical difference. It would be cool to see maybe horses faster, but wargs add some attack? As much as I like that you can now train
