[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="9" id="2820440"] I would love to see some reports that this stuff is happening, at least in long games on large maps. I haven't managed to get more than a few games of a given build past a few hundred turns, and I've never seen a hint of the dynasty system affecting the fallout from an AI sovereign going down. [/quote] It does not happen; whatever the dynasty sytem may do when a sovereign dies is trumped by everything they own being remove

[quote who="konjad" reply="9" id="2819935"] It's a crap with slow download rate and every time I reinstall the game I need to wait at least 2-3 hours of download time instead of just installing it from .exe within 5 minutes. If I ever won't have an internet connection when reinstalling the game I'm screwed because I cannot update the game. And it's another useless program running in background which uses my computer's power. <br /

[quote who="random_target" reply="44" id="2819896"] For example, if I have a resource north of my city outside the ZOC (or whatever name you use), building houses and other improvements toward the resource will also help expending the ZOC to that area? [/quote] It already does matter, just not as much and not for typical buildings. You can build a line of buildings out towards a resource and then build a missionary/town hall.

[quote who="Fearzone" reply="18" id="2819628"]I don't recall anyone complaining about influence calculations. Except for occasional funkiness where lines criss-cross, it seems okay to me as it stands, and I'm not sure what problem this solution is solving. [/quote] The problem comes when you build your city to the edge of the zone (and possibly even beyond).

[quote who="Phylast57" reply="18" id="2818108"] Directions: -Place the folder "Green Orcs" and its content in the Elemental mods folder and run the game. -The Elemental Mods folder can be found in Documents -> My Games -> Elemental -> Mods. For Windows 7 your Documents folder can be accessed from the start menu. Ok--admittedly I am a noob when it comes to this kinda stuff. I have done the above but when I run the game no orcs.

[quote who="Alstein" reply="13" id="2818030"]The problem is that it's really rare to get horses/wargs, and when you do, it's usually the wrong ones. I'd say just let everyone ride horses. Wargs could be a little better, but very rare. [/quote] A better idea would be to have a 'breeding grounds' resource tile that can be used for both kinds of mount producing structures.

[quote who="Mystikmind" reply="4" id="2816727"] Now I'm confused, you used the word Royalty correct? letter R, letter O, letter Y, letter A, letter L, letter T, letter Y, spells 'Royalty', a word which can actually be found in the game to describe various hero's in the game - Hero's that your children are still not allowed to marry!!

[quote who="Mystikmind" reply="4" id="2816535"]Thanks for the replys... It makes sense. But then the problem is that it creates a disincentive to ever using your Leaders magic in combat, preferring to use up the manna of other units first? But at least any units with enough manna for teleport, should not really be with the leader, they should have their own separate group.

Reply to Do we want kick ass champs? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

As long as they take a slot another unit could use, melee/archer heroes need to be about equivalant in fighting ability to a unit that would take equal cost (offset by the effort involved in leveling heroes) that could have been used instead.
