I heard people talking about building shrines on top of water/fire/earth or air shrines but that doesn't give me any regeneration at all.[/quote] Below are Kingdom rundowns.

Reply to Stardock hires Civ 5 lead designer Jon Shafer in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="enoeraew37" reply="215" id="2869797"]When did the gaming industry start following Kindergarten rules ? We should embrace him because he "tried" hard ? Did the "best" he could ? You dont know that. Jon has been silent and sheltered by Frogboy and Stardock. The story is a bit misty atm. Wheres the transparency Brad ?[/quote] The parties are governed by non-disclosure agreements. I'll go ahead and reference Wiki: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-disclosure_ag

Reply to UFOs: What do YOU Believe? in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

The Universe is actually an EWOM release dated 13 billion years ago. The dev team is on patch 1.11x10 to the tenth power. People are complaining about a confusing UI and lots of unused space on the map. The mod community has little support. Debates on whether seasons should last millions or billions of years. Mechanics need an overhaul and the Universe dev team is deciding whether to release a stand-alone version. The good news: that version of Elemental has teleport higher in the tech t

Reply to I Tried Very Hard to Like This Game in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Try playing a smaller map and up the speed of the game. That might give you the balance that you are looking for. On another note, I was consitently playing medium map, max players, custom charisma sov, ridiculous across the board, and had winning nailed down. I just started a new game on a large map with a slow tech speed and am finding it more challenging. Waiting to research the first level of Warfare for spears and padded armor while monsters spawn all over the place made it a h

[quote who="kenata" reply="85" id="2869593"]Anyone notice that the AI is not using defensive class spells in tactical combat. I recently made a custom monster with two different defensive skills, but it did not use either of them in the 15+ rounds of combat I had run through. [/quote] I don't believe I've seen the AI use defensive spells in tactial combat either.

Wow, never seen this either nor a single thread prior discussing the issue. Did you install any mods? If you have the time you may want to consider an uninstall/reinstall. Maybe some of the files are corrupted. Or you could consider deleting all the files in the folders and sub-folders within the C:\Documents\My Games\Elemental directory.

Reply to 1.11: crash after DX error in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I too have this error. Uploaded debug.err as well. However, it's hit and miss for me. One day it did nothing but CTD. Since then, it acts like it's going to CTD and then saves itself. It zooms all the way into strategic map. Have had this problem since 1.09 but only became seriously concerned when it continued to CTD that one day.

AI Jedi Brad - you need an AI Padawan. Too many AI Sith to chase down while you run the Jedi Council. May the AI be with you, always. [edit] On a serious note, if I armchair quarterback for a moment, humbly realizing I'm not the CEO of a successful software company, what I'm trying to say is let someone else do the detailed work. Hire solid AI guys or gals, free up your time to pilot the ship, and play SD's products. Be at the 30,000 foot level, manage and step-in to help

Reply to Do the fans ask for too much? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

All I care about is that I have a forum to: Voice my concern or idea Know it is read and considered Whether it is implemented into the game or even responded to in the forums is entirely their call and I fully respect that. Any effective plan (EWoM) requires a solid strategy, execution, controls, and a feedback loop to gauge whether the plan was effective to meet the goals and objectives.

Awesome. Hopeful SOV's will stop the kamikaze attacks and glad we can raze from the get go. Derek - unsure what coding is required but is it possible, if a SOV dies, that the remaining cities and associated resources pass to the monster and ruffian faction instead of just poofing out of existence? I know there's a bajillion priorities and this could be a complex change but it would go a long way (I believe) to shore up a currently nonsensical mechanic. If it's too low of a prior

Hint: raise/lower land to nuke forests spawning mobs. Also do it to make straight-shot caravan routes/roads to help with logistics (i.e. fill in lakes, remove mountain barriers, etc).

[quote who="Victor5" reply="144" id="2864080"]The biggest problem with gaming in general these days is it's ALL about publisher's playing 'evil dictator' over your potentially innovative, quality work.

Civ V is the poster child for this problem. As much as it saddens me because I once loved that series, Ci
