Reply to Gamestop, Impulse and Stardock in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I think the main point here is this: do we all think Brad would screw over the team of people that helped build Impulse? I don't think so. It appears to me Brad is extremely loyal to his peeps and they are to him. I highly doubt Brad would have sold Impulse to a bunch of scavenging vultures - those people are his friends and have families. Just don't see it.

Reply to [1.19l] Suicidal Sovereign Example in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Yeah, I agree. I'm glad Brad has a future plan on how to handle a kingdom/empire once the sovereign dies but it doesn't change the fact that they need to be careful. I'd be of the mind to do away with sovereign sniping all together and always allow AI sovereigns to escape to their nearest city regardless of where they're currently positioned but that would eliminate all the cool options around dynasties, who takes over, etc. I'm not sure what threat level check&nbs

[quote who="Vallu751" reply="2" id="2918928"]This reminds me of an AI query of mine during the beta stages. I was worried about exactly this kind of behavior, but fanboys shot the question down. I'm glad you keep the squeaking going. We need the oil for our squeaky wheels! I haven't been paying much attention since the game hasn't had any updates lately besides the memory ones.

[1.19l] Suicidal Sovereign Example in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Hi Brad - can you please take a peek at this when you get a moment? Here's an example of a recent suicidal sovereign. Please note Magnar is by far #1 in the game with 877 FP while mine is at 350. The AI decided it was worthwhile to move his sovereign unescorted into my territory and demolish a darkling camp within my zoc. Needless to say this allowed me to teleport my hero stack to the tile next to him and wipe him out and kill the #1 faction in the game(by far). Save

[1.19j] Tactical Combat - Touch of Entropy Range Check Fail in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Kraxis Sovereign just touch of entropied my units from 5 tiles away. The spell is a 1 range spell, correct? Here's my season 202 save: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119j/119j_202.EleSav . Take my 5 army stack and attack the settlement of Oppaaqakey. Kraxis sov will just nuke my units with that spell. A wee bit overpowered...

[1.19j] City Build Screen Issue - Not Enough Materials or Space in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I've noticed if a city is unable to build an improvement due to low materials or insufficient space that if I correct the issue, I'm unable to build anything until the next turn. For example, in the below screenshot I did not have enough materials at the start of the turn to build a garden. However, I cancelled a few units in other cities and freed up the materials (hence the 54 at the top) but notice the garden (bottom left) says it needs 35. I have enough atm but can&

Reply to [1.19j] Empire Caravan Problem in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Season 197 of a 1.19j game here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119j/119j_197.EleSav I took over the settlement of Food3 from Kraxis a few turns ago. When I went to build caravans it only allowed me to create 2, not 3. I think there must be an unassigned caravan somewhere under Kraxis control but regardless, shouldn't the caravan count reset when I took it over (i.e. allow me to create 3 and

Reply to Questions From a Skeptical Consumer in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'm usually smart enough to not stick my hand into a hive of Africanized honey bees but this time I'll do it. I despise trolls - destructive critics should get the hell out, constructive critics should stay. However, an honest feedback loop is necessary for any product or service to improve. Otherwise the providers of the product or service are deluding themselves. Not everyone posting criticism or popping off emotionally is a troll just as everyone who defends Brad or

Reply to Questions From a Skeptical Consumer in War of Magic Elemental Forums

For me right now it boils down to: Stable engine so both new vanilla content can be added and modders can get back to work Mod support based on what the modders want/need Everyone in the community has their own patience tank - some expire earlier than others. Have I had moments of "when in the hell is the engine gonna be stable" thoughts? You betcha. I remain optimistic the oom's and bugs will get worked out but this can't go on indefin

If I only chose another path in life I could have programmed games instead of doing boring accounting crap! [e digicons]:waaaa:[/e] On a serious note, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Totally agree with Vandenburg. I even looked up what hash table fragmentation means online. You learn something new every day.
