Reply to [1.19n] Strategic AI Analysis in WOM Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="LightofAbraxas" reply="5" id="2927047"]Wait, does this suggest that the different factions have different AIs attached to them? That's kind of what it sounds like from this post, and I didn't think that was the case. [/quote] I'm not sure to be honest. But Capitar is consistently pop locking on the ridiculous level so the evidence, to me at least, indiciates the factions have their own threads. Actually, they must have their own threads, right? We can choo

[quote who="RexDaddy" reply="3" id="2926898"]ALM - Does Capitar somehow start in the exact same place in these tests? [/quote] Nope, same map but different starting locations between m and n. [Edit] I certainly do believe the pathing issues can/are specific to starting locations as I've seen consistency there. However, Capitar in m was in upper right hand corner of map and in n he was in bottom left (going off memory).

Reply to Is the AI recruiting champions? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yes, from my AI tests the AI does hire champions (at least on ridiculous level). They don't hire every single that's available one but they do hire. Here's my latest analysis: https://forums.elementalgame.com/407926 . The AI is douing a better job of gearing the champions but it doesn't gear like a player would (i.e. buy the best gear for the hero based on available tech and gildar).

Reply to [1.20] DX Error: Invalid Call in WOM Support Elemental Forums

[Edit] Removed my internet nerd-rage rant. I followed my own advice and sent a PM right after I wrote this post - had a response within a matter of hours of which I'm extremely grateful. The root cause of my DX errors isn't fixed yet but I'm optimistic I'll know more next week. Many thanks to Derek. [e digicons]:beer:[/e] Just want to acknowledge it's appreciated.

Hi Hanno555 - if you could post the recent saves, debug, and dmp file (if created) that would help. You can post these files through dropbox. You can check that out at dropbox.com. It should help the devs track down your specific oom - just a recommendation from a grizzled playtester like myself.

Yes, I understand that the poster wants them to take all their energy and put it toward fixing this game. But just because its his opinion, it doesn't make it valid. Also, WoM was really fucked when released. Lots of problems. Am I disappointed that it is taking so long, yes I am. Am I concerned that the changes t

Reply to Baron unit has champion's portrait in WOM Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="mywhiskey" reply="6" id="2926455"]Don't you get bored using vanilla factions, especially since we can't play with mods? I like to play with the different colors in the custom factions, now I'm changing armor colors (shows how bored I am). Mainly, you get a wider variety of perks for your faction, which is probably overpowered, but so what, it's more fun. [/quote] In short, yes. But that's why I'm a big fan of the mod community! <img src="http:/

[quote who="mywhiskey" reply="4" id="2926164"]I'm so glad you brought up the custom faction colors. I bring up that bug a lot but I think I'm the only one complaining about it so it hasn't been fixed yet. I guess most people play with the vanilla factions so the colors not being saved doesn't affect them. The game also doesn't save portraits when you have a horse equipped. Have you noticed that? That's another one that drives me nutz. [/quote] Yeah,

[1.20] UI Buttons Location Problem (Right Hand Side of Strategic Map) in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I've noticed that occasionally the buttons on the right hand side of the map get all screwy (i.e. placed behind the faction power listing) when certain things occur. In this example, I had everything turned on except the mini-map: Faction Power Window, City Hud, & Terrain Window. The UI placed the buttons behind the faction power window after I attacked and killed Magnar. I think there are other catalysts too - I'll post them here if I notice them again. Zip (saves of
