Reply to confusion over oak spear in War of Magic Elemental Forums

warstaffs are a little crazy at 15 why bother with a shield XD wooden staff technology > sword technology He wields a stick... Ruuuuun also, i still haven't gotten the hang of using the nectar - is it in a fight or out of a fight you use it ? the food seems to be out of a fight, but the hero holds the nectar and troops can use it ? very confusing. ps - i've had my spearmen running around with the padded helmet, armour and bracers with the

confusion over oak spear in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'm playing a game with a faction that does not stat with any item or war tech i have discovered 3 tech 2 civs and a magic, so why do i have access to the oak spear at the shop for my heroes ? Is this unlocked by city size ? My city is currently at a population of 35 - lv 2 city i guess (one upgrade), lv 1 city ? anyways - this just seems odd to me because i have done nothing to unlock it, it is just "there" I thought items for heroes unlocked at the same time as items for units so this is co

Reply to Schools in War of Magic Elemental Forums

o, i see what you mean now - did you take population cost and material cost into your calculations ? I don't see you meantion them. I think the school is 12 population and 3 gold upkeep versus 5 population and 1 gold upkeep for each study, so you get a bonus while being able to maneuver your population around. This is a good thing when you are low on people count but running large on gold.

Reply to [1.09u][BALANCE] min INT for many spells is way too high, and others issues of the book in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Hmm you know, coming back to look at the numbers i put down, what i meant was 2 hero levels in between spell levels at 2 point per level, so it would be +4 not +2 lv 1 int 11 lv 2 int 15 lv 3 int 19 lv 4 int 23 lv 5 int 27 with lv 5 being max spell level, which i understand to be the current situation 6 hero levels to be able to cast lv 5 spells with a hero that starts at 10 int if you pump everything int

Maybe something like a lv 1 hero has access to level 1 spells, then every 2 hero levels new spells, perhaps make it +2 int per spell level so level 1 int 11 level 2 int 13 level 3 int 15 level 4 int 17 level 5 int 19, or more then + if spells go higher then level 5 ( i havent gotten that far in my spell research since they changed it lol) you have to put a lot of points into int to do this, extra int added could increase damage, an

Reply to Is this actually happening? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

they have to decide if its worth three weeks or so recoding the section of the game, i say yes in the long term it is necessary. (three week is probably a very inexact time frame, it is a number frogboy put forward in a post - not that i mean he isn't good on time frames, but that you never know what kinks will have to be worked out in the changes) edit: it is quite possible i had a brain fart regarding the magic update, i'm tired at the moment and not sure if the

Reply to Is this actually happening? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

If i remember correctly, frogboy said they can add abilities to units through items, but they lack the needed programming to make the changes retroactive to units that have already been trained. They had to make a choice between altering the magic or adding retroactive changes to the game. They plan to do this in the future, probably after the magic is dealt with. I would assume this would be part of the package being prepared for tactical combat changes in 1.1 example of retroactive

Reply to [1.09s] Suggestion: Differentiation of units per faction is really needed (eventually) in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I agree. This is very necessary and is in fact almost a gamekiller for me. I have actually. technically only won the games once when i cast the Master spell and then it was cut scene to end game movie. I haven't done any of the end games since that, the cast the spell - you win was too easy. the Ai never had a chance to stop me from casting the spell.

Reply to Enemy champions have way to much gear! {FIXED} in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I like exploring around a bit with my heroes in leather gear and 14 hp and suddenly i bump into heroes with 50+ hp in enemy factions that have declared war on me. Took me 5 restarts under the latest update on the game for me to realize i needed to invest in more war tech than i had been doing. You certainly can not ignore it like you could before 2 or 3 patches ago.

How the game is shaping up in War of Magic Elemental Forums

In a precious post i have said i would not refer to other games and that Elemental should be taken on it's own merits. I still agree with that. However, occasionally it is still useful to take about other games. Specifically, Heroes of might of magic. Please don't have a knee jerk reaction, i think some of you will. Regarding the game play of Elemental, in term of HoMM5, i feel like i am stuck playing the Haven faction when i play kingdom - I can't comment on Empire be

Reply to Why can I sometimes not talk to roaming NPC's? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

That depends, what is your charisma, flaws, faction modifiers ? i've payed as much as 620 for a basic hero before. Charisma and Bard ability really have a huge effect on the game. edit: oh I originally wanted to say: There was some info that stated how much to hire a hero ? Wow. I was always grumbling about his to myself. Can we have this as a floating window above a hero on a mouse over plz ? something to that effect would be nice.

You know it posts that like this that make you wonder if the person is being literal. Did their mistress dump them for that reason ? Because if they did, and your wife plays elemental, she could be reading the forums right now and waiting for you to get home with a baseball bat. And that would suck. I am so glad my computer is the mistress, my wife always knows that i'm playing elemental if i have disappeared... [e digicons]:smitten:[/e]

Reply to Put a cap on resources (mostly for mana) in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I agree whole heartedly on this and needs needs to be done as part of a parcel to help balance magic. They did say there was going to be a major update on magic coming up and i think this choice of enchant slots versus refresh/ mana regen time/storage is an excellent idea.
