quender blooded slavers can use these elementals to nab up the sacrifices. And no there is no such limit. In my current game i have 6 temples built, and every 5-8 turns i get more and more units, i am running out of space to put them! I will probably redo my custom faction to move this over to a quendar.

I think that XP and +initiative should be stackable. Otherwise, i will have to learn every hard cap in the game, and meticulously micromanage everything to make sure im not "above the cap". That is never fun, and only leaves me irritated at the power i "could have" if it weren't somehow shut down.

If you have enchanters, then anything with 2+ essence is a great fortress to train units in. If not, you want a 3 essence fortress if you can get one. 4+ grain should always be a town - and a conclave can be any irrelevant city with at least 1 mana (so you can cast meditation). Enchanters is very very nice, and it can turn a piece of crap starting point into something nice. So when you have to choose between "2 average cities" and "one

Maybe we should hard cap movement bonuses so that if you cast tireless march on a unit with the horse and those longstrider boots, it doesn't get all the extra movement. I mean, it makes leather boots better by making longstrider boots less good.

I do not agree. If i have 2 guys with Shieldwall, I want it to stack. However i am annoyed with 2x-3x shrinking. Otherwise, i would have to go out of my way in designing armies to make sure i didn't accidentally put the same aura effect 2x in one army, that level of micromanagement is unfun. Yes, it is powerful, so is Flame Dart with 5 fire shards - does that mean we should remove the per-shard bonuses and just have a higher base rate da

are you insane, path of the mage is insane with a fire 3 warlock - or a death 2/water 2 warlock. Otherwise i play "One champ stamp" and go path of the assassin to max crit/dodge. I also like to get Path of the Defender on 1-2 guys for shieldwall/guardian. Normally, i work up the sov as a mage and champ as a defender unless it has a pre-set path - some champs already have a path or path associated ability. My favorite 2-path

I agree with fixed positions; I would also like wildlands in the world, and more fertile areas. It's a lot bigger but it feels like just a lot more nothingness in between cities. I also wished boats could become an item to purchase but no luck. Instead of getting the bigger points of Civ - you have a giant, almost desolate world with less "sweet spots" than a randomly generated map. I guess a "Wide" Civ5 player would love having 30 towns, 12 conclaves and 4 fo

competition. It is a refusal of companies in the industry to compete. Lets say a business has 3 types of charges that bring a final price to $60. 3 different companies will offer a 20% reduction in a different area of the spectrum to make sure that nobody is losing money from competition. The days of selling under, reducing prices and driving up quality - has been replaced with constant price increases, driving down quality to a minimum, and prof

My friends wife works in medical billing and coding and she was unable to watch Sicko, or any part of the debate about insurance scamming in the medical industry because it made her feel guilt. I could never call my friend a punk for letting her not watch it (and he even went to 'console' her), let alone tell her that she should feel bad. Sure i understand, she is "no more guilty" than the clerk at BP is for the oil spill, but transference

I am also a writer, and i have been fighting ignorant linguistics for sometime. I never refer to "god" in gender-form, I never attach "Phobia" to something that isn't a psychological illness. Social construct phobias are ugly - nobody for instance, can prove to have a "phobia of homosexuals" but there is support for a "phobia of being homosexual". There is also no basis for a mental illness of fearing Islam or Christianity. There are good reasons to fear some of the

somebody made a guide, an underground book like the anarchist cookbook, about Demagogy. This person, lets call him "Trollface".

this would be like if i invented the cure for cancer. Then, i create 5 copies, go on live tv and destroy 3 of them. I announce the other 2 are now up for auction starting at 200 billion dollars a piece, and each one has been infused with a modified nanofabric that will self-destruct on any attempt to deconstruct/bust the formula; holding the cure hostage to my greed. This is the entitlement that disgusts me about republicans.

Oh, and stay away from: Wealthy - Master Scouts - Tarth: These teach you bad habits. Also, experiment! Sometimes after getting civics, you might decide to go for training and archery before getting henchmen (reason: you get more buff in the field faster with 2 archers and 2 spearman BEFORE one bard because the bard will need to shop at the store or be naked and worthless. Always remember to set your troops to auto-upgrade. </p

1. You encourage discourse and allow the natural conversation to occur. This means that even when you don't directly respond to virtually everything, there is a notion that there is "a ghost in the machine" telling stardock what players are doing, are wanting, using, complaining about, what they enjoy, don't enjoy, why they enjoy, good suggestions, suggestions similar to internal proposals, etc. This feeling of attention causes people to have better behavior imo. &

it also denies the champs to the AI, so you can pick 3 and use the rest as governors and waypoint guards. i prefer a different form of denial- i like killing the enemy ones to prevent them from being recruited. Warlock with Death/Water/Fire is incredible. wanna know whats overpowered? Altar. They have no racial weakness, the exp bonus works nicely with general and brilliant, henchmen come early and are still valu

i would like a ROTK option to spare them, attempt to bribe/hire them, attempt to sway them to demand a higher price from current leader or "resign" or execute. This would also help the good-evil scale of the game.

be careful, if you make alpha nations, they will perform much better than the default ones. They will be better synchronized and you will have a tougher time. If the sovereign is wealthy god forbid, prepare to see 8 cities before turn 80.

very good game, and i would recommend it to anyone. a lot of good fun to be had. there is a campaign which is reminiscent of Final Fantasy Tactics or Suikoden Tactics. There is a sandbox mode like civ. The game has a few small issues; sometimes powerful monsters appear near your capital early game and frag you, other times you just can't expand whatsover. however, of all the games ive played, and plan to - i would say there is much to praise from this game.
