Yeah, variety is the spice of life! It also would be cool if monsters stacking together made more sense, such as with their own kind. Bandits hanging out with spiders is just plain weird.

Reply to two seemingly simple ideas in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

#1 - is an option already. I don't have access to the game atm but it's there, I just turned off the AI units a couple of weeks ago. Works like a charm! #2 - Would have to defer to a modder on that one. I manually rename all my cities to Capital1, Food1, Filler1, etc. to help remind me what are the primary resources for each city.

Oh crap, there I go talking out my ass again. Good question, maybe someone else knows the answer.

Reply to Casting "imbue champion" on a sovie ? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

All sovies can cast so I'm unsure why you would cast on yourself. The mechanic is intended for the sovie to imbue his magical essence on other heroes so they can cast too. Children are automatically imbued I believe. I rarely marry because I always wait until I find Najaba. I'm not marrying not stinkin weakling gildar or tech chick. I want assassinate and dominate!

[quote who="Lord Cobol" reply="12" id="2901480"]FWIW, I *never* load without exiting & saving. That may be why I OOM less often than some others seem to. So my OOM above must have some other cause, like maybe playing too many turns too much going on. I was using the "dominate" ability a lot in that campaign. Could there be a connection there ? I know it gets confused by "dominate" be cause every time I use it there is a ghost dead unit left on

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="94" id="2901284"]Also, here's an FAQ: Q: Why are we enhancing WOM when FE is likely to be so much better received? A: Because some day, WOM will be a $4.95 type game and we don't want people to not like what they get. One of the things I regret to this day (business wise) is that we didn't go back and make the oriignla GalCiv I and the original GalCiv II better. We have sold hundreds of thousands of copies of those two

I agree it needs to be done. I doubt Derek thinks that ideally new players should be thrown to the wolves (or spiders). So it's really a matter of when and how many resources should be allocated to work on this. We all know there's many things we'd like fixed yesterday or months ago so to eat this elephant they gotta choose where to bite first. The stability concerns are certainly #1 and once that's resolved, then the debate about what should come next, etc. For me, I'll post about the A

If so, where is it displayed? Do I lose essence when I imbue other champions? [/quote] No, essence no longer exists. You now have a global mana pool and imbueing another champion will subtract the mana cost from the pool.
