Reply to [1.19j] Units not Clearing from Map Upon Death in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Hi Codecritter - to second what mywhiskey said. Completed tactical battle Units remain on strategic map but you can't click on them, mouse cursor doesn't change, it shows the units but it acts like they don't exist. The problem in showing the problem is that ending the turn or reloading a save clears the issue. The only thing I think I could show is a printscreen with my mouse hovering over the "ghost stack" indicating they don't exist.

Reply to Caravan Guards in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I remember Derek posting that the design intent was to require the players to civilize the land thereby protecting the caravans. What was aggravating was having monsters running around, in your ZOC, without some kind of warning that they were there. The "exclamation point alert for monsters within your ZOC" resolved that issue. As someone who's played my fair share of games since Sep '10 I find the alert resolved my caravan safety maintenance concerns. If I'm going to build

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Rethinking land in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

My thoughts: Aesthetics Critters or people running around would help - depends on what the engine can tolerate given memory constraints. If in a jungle, show some leopards or monkeys or whatever lore creatures exist. If a savannah, lions and elephants or w/e. Basically, show the wildlife. Vary the amount of tile types and versions of each type to broaden the look Have the land become more alive as ZOC's expand - not just turn green, but show

[quote who="gbob2317" reply="71" id="2895996"]Like you, I was put off by early reviews. I'm an older gamer, having spent more time then I care to think about hoping someone would take on Masters of Magic. After about a week of gameplay, I can say that this is the best fun I've had in a long time. In many ways I've found it a more satisfying game than Civ V. I'm only regretting not buying it sooner.[/quote] Be sure to check out the mods! The community of modders

Yeah, not sure if this is a bug or functioning as designed. It is weird, however, to tell you that it's the last caravan when there more queue'd up behind it. It should be changed at some point. If you single queue the caravans, it won't tell you until the third one I think.

Derek - upon killing units they are sometimes not clearing from the strategic map upon death. This also occured when I took an enemy faction capital - the units I killed in the city popped up outside. You cannot click on them or anything. End turn clears as well as a reload.

Brad - Season 45 of a real 1.19d game. Capitar FP is 5 and 1 city. Something is definitely broke with this faction as they were killed by monsters in my test analysis. Good news: Pariden is currently highest in the game with 3 cities and 42 FP so whatever caused them to act silly (i.e. pop lock) in the test analysis obviously didn't recur here. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119d/45.EleSav <p
