[quote who="Marks1381" reply="31" id="2854358"]I didn't realize the AI difficulty option until 4 days ago. Major difference. Hope those hardcore players who complained about the game being to easy knew about this. [/quote] Yeah, in my new game Resoln has 5x the power rating than me (everyone else is 3-4x) and just threatened war if I didn't pay up. I refused and now it's on. They have war staff technology and I have light plate - without the

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="24" id="2854322"]Ok so apparently Altar is the only AI I have on ridiculous. I was happy to see they had built two observers and had purchased new weapons for the spouse and recruited champion. Excellent! Discretion is the better of valor. I will have to come back to fight another day. By the way, the resources this city is producing on turn 39 are ridiculous; hence, the name of the difficulty setting right? [/quote] <

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="22" id="2854316"] I did not check that. That may explain it. So each opponent gets his own AI difficulty setting? If so, big oops on my part. [/quote] Yep, I just caught it the other day. If you confirm Umber is on ridiculous however, then Brad certainly has a problem. Brad - you may want to consider spelling this out somehow in the docs and game. If Troj and I were both confused about the difference between the world d

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="15" id="2854296"]Hi Brad, I tried it again... double checked that I had difficulty set to ridiculous on both the "world creation" and "choose your opponents" screen. Ran into Umber again in my second game and they had made the same hoe-hum progress on turn 20. Hmmmm... Is it just a problem with Umber? I'm pretty sure it's ridiculous because there were air elementals and packs of drakes roaming the world on turn 8. One thing we c

Apologize if this is already mentioned. The mini-map will sometimes overlay city events icons. Reloads correct the issue.

[1.1] Minor Gremlins in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Not experiencing any CTD's but am experiencing the occasional graphics glitch usually centered around zooming in or out on the cloth map. It acts like its going to CTD but then recovers. In my current game my SOV's portrait was replaced with one of my normal units - corrects itself when I reload. Have also noticed the incorrect turns counter on resources (shows 0) but mechanically appears to build in the correct amount of turns. Had one other issue where I was equipping/requipping the mo

Reply to Brad, more AI please in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I love this thread. Lots of good ideas. All of my games are on medium maps, ridiculous level, custom sov. I have no idea how to code but I'll do my best to explain how the AI should feel. I have no idea how easy or difficult this would be to do. I get to live vicariously as a developer on the SD forums. [e digicons]:D[/e] The below idea could also be used to modify personalities of each faction too. Maybe one has an automatic warfare mode from the start or something.

[quote who="Archonsod" reply="37" id="2847299"]I'd like to see more "rainbow" spells. At the moment the only spell that makes use of multiple shards is the mastery spell, which is a bit of a waste. At present, if you can grab more than one shard of a single type then you can pretty much not bother with spell books outside of that element, unless of course you intend to go for a magic victory. Although another idea borrowed shamelessly from Magic the Gathering would be to have

[quote who="Ratatosk7" reply="22" id="2846247"]Its not that overpowered. It costs a ton of mana, you can't access it until a late spell research, and you can't use it to teleport entire armies across the map or something crazy like that. Oh wait... Honestly I've thought of it like a cheat we use to help beta test [/quote] Lol. Teleport as it stands today is godlike. It's kind of like that dude from Star Trek "Q" who would pop in at the strangest time

[quote who="Alstein" reply="11" id="2845952"]I don't think that not doing what I say on this is going to make Elemental a bad game, so I'm not going to be mad at people disagreeing with me. It just proves that some, perhaps many people think otherwise. I just feel it adds some tedium without helping the game. If this is kept in with individual pieces- I'd love to see a completely revamped and complicated combat mechanism where yo
