Reply to What do you think about multiple units per square? (Tactical) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

ok lets see, there are a few ways of pulling it off. I am not sure how dominion handles it, but two really good examples are Master of magic and Heroes of might and magic. They do it in different ways,in master of magic you have "units". each unit can have between 1 and 8 individuals in it. when it attacks, each individual in the unit makes an attack roll and each roll is dealt with seperately. meaning that 8 spearmen can each make a str 2 attack -> 8

Reply to Why build a Monastery? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

uhg we don't need ranting posts like that please - lets try to keep this constructive. The simple fact is that higher tech buildings need to be either more efficient - or- have some unique effect or ability that a lower tech building does not have. We want Elemental to be more than a spreadsheet game so it is better to have a higher tech building with a special ability rather than a percentage boosting ability. i would lik

Reply to Why build a Monastery? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

i find i constantly run out of population as i am always building and pumping out armies. The monestary is 1 per city i believe. The building structures frustrate me since they don't take into account the fact that you can have unlimited basic structures ( +1 materials, +1 technology, +1 arcane) so long as you have the gold to pay the upkeep. IF it was only 1 arcane lab per city and the prestige penalty for having more cities was bigger, than the monestary would rock. as it is, i only

hmm your right there, seems there were five.. odd now i have to remember where in the past 15 years or so i got that impression - been awhile since i read fellowship. I did not mean to imply that gandalf came back uner his own power [e digicons]^_^[/e] I do remember that tolkien intended for others to write stories set in his world mythology, now i just have to remember why i think that...sigh.

I want spiffy custom sovereign / faction options so i can rule the world from the oceans with my fish lord. We don't need any exclusionary games here, i want to be able to get up on land with my slimy fish tail and ride that horse - side saddle if i must but my fish lancers will rule the world - albeit without any grace... since they can't use stirrups...

Reply to The Lord of the Rings The Rise of Mordor [Mod] in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

With regards to magic in lord of rings - their was more in there than you think. I beleive there were 7 wizards on the council - white, grey, blue, brown and 3 more that tolkien intentially did not mention so that others could write about them. They were all "amgelic" beings, immortal unless killed. Gandalf the grey dies fighting the balrog and then is reborn as gandalf the white. The elves could make magic items and taught technology to a group humans, who b

Reply to Some Math for Armor (Updated2) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

i think units should be limited to one back pack item with the addition of a new category - a satchel pack, something that is kept at the waist. These two items can be linked to the level up routines to grant bonus skills and ability points to units as the level. a ranger pack might give a ubit more movement or a pathfinding ability when the hit level 3 a sniper pack might give an aiming ability that gives +2 to damage for a round of shooting when the unit reaches lv 4

Tier 1 weapons are a simple slugfest. Each weapon should be clearly labelled in the xmls as either blunt, piercing or slashing/cutting. cuirass should give base protection helm, armlet and greaves should be used to boost this within limits. helm would give a bonus to blunt defence armlet gives bonus to piercing defence greaves gives bonus to slashing/cutting defence shield gives bonus to

ok here is an updated list of weapon and armour combinations for comparison followed by another message for comments. I will assume a base dodge of 5% for all units with a dex of 10 Tier 1 weapons with no armour this is your starting gear. club 3 attack, 0 armour dodge 5 I will write this down as 3/0 d5 staff 5/0 d5 &nbsp

After reading most of this thread, i have come to a most logical conclusion. Fortran and cobol are simply far too efficient. We should go with object oriented turing as the language of choice. There is simply nothing else that compares.

arg i did not inlude accuracy on my request for weapon info incidentally, i believe the order of events you would be referrring to is attack, chance to hit, see if you hit, check if dodge kicks in, check if penetration kicks in, roll damage, roll armour roll for damage reduction if there is no penetration. I want to follow up this post but i can't until i get full weapon info. (beats dead computer with a sledgehammer) EDIT: You know, if no-
