My 2 cents

from Elemental Forums

Hi,

 

Let me start by saying I am mostly happy with the game.  That being said I just want to give my 2 cents on my likes and dislikes.

 

I things I like.  

  1. The questing.
  2. The ability to add points to your characters.
  3. The Tactical battles.   Love the Spells.
  4. I think it pretty cool how the towns spread all wiley niley. 

Things I think need some improvement.

  1. The lack of anything but a Humanoid is very boring.
  2. I know this going to sound weird but there are a lot of useless spells that I just don’t see anyone ever casting.   Most of the Strategy ones I don’t see as being of use, maybe in a Multiplayer game on a small map.
  3. The manual was not very help, and even the online help seem to be very brief.  I was looking for how and what I needed to do to get crystals and it seemed to take longer than I thought it should.  This is just one example. 
  4. I played my first game on a Large Map with four opponents.  I only ever saw two before I cast the Mastery Spell.  It took very little effort to beat the two I did find.
  5. On the Map I play there were some Kingdoms that spawned but did nothing.  I could not interact with them so I really don’t see the point of them.
  6. I don’t ever remember the A.I. attacking one of my cities on normal Mode. 
  7. I thought it was kind of strange that I would take a town, and suddenly the town went from human to my race.  I did not need to leave an army in it to keep it from rebelling. As soon as I figured that out I just made and unstoppable army I just marched it through each of my opponents towns.  Until I had conquered him.    
  8. Questing while fun was very difficult to follow.  Sometime the quick glances of were I was suppose to go were just too quick. 

Things that just need Fixed. 

  1. Memory Leak.  It crash my game many times.
  2. If I am on the Build Screen why can’t I just go to the next town.

 Anyways I am enjoying the game. I think I will play one on the next A.I.  level and then come back in a couple of  weeks to see what is going on.

Agreed on most but this is a big one. To check all your cities in a big empire (8+ cities) it's a lot of extra clicking to get around, when we should be able to just go to the build menu of the next town.

Yes, I agree with all of your points.  Some enemy factions consisted of a single, one tile hub with a handful of units, even after hundreds of turns.  My only cities that were attacked were ones that I had captured from enemy factions, and even then they would send a number of small armies that I could easily pick off, one at a time.  The quests need better logging for sure, many of the spells are redundant, as you say, and I was dissapointed that the culture of the cities that I conquered seemed to completely disappear after I took them, apart from the aesthetic look of the different buildings. 

Another thing that I find hugely lacking is equipment.  When you get a new Hero or offspring, you just kit them out with legendary armour and the best sword and shield, and they all look identical.  There needs to be far more and more varied stuff - magical leather and cloaks that offer different bonuses to different classes, and weapons that suit these too.  More mounts with different qualities, more colours and styles of armour, to give a sense of uniqueness to each hero.

And sovereigns that die, with eternal Dynasties - I'm never giving up on that one.. :P
