Multi-player options.  Hotseat and PBEM.

 

They've already stated this isn't happening.

wooot where did they say that ?

i can only say more spells more skilz for heroes and a deeper dynasty sistem and iam happy

There is a spell called blistering desert or some shit that removes everything on the tile, I use it to remove foresr to build all the time.  And you just need to have a race of blond humans, like the Mancers, create a faction with egalitarian and choose pink as a color, and then play the game with them and make pink dress wearing archers.  Boom and Slam, aka BOOMSLAM!

Removing forest is the only thing I have ever used it for, not sure why you would want to remove a resource.

*Jaw Drop* OMG! So it is a useful spell after all..

I haven't done it yet but i thought maybe the spell could target a town and blow stuff up... it would explain its cost if it did that.

edit - i mean if it does exactly what it says in th description, it would make it an instant kill spell for anything in the world map.... or i may be misreading it 

I really like Blistering Sands, Raise/Lower Land, Volcano, Flood and Earthquake - being able to change the environment is something that's pretty unique and awesome.

On the flipside, they have some bugs... like I can't cast blistering sands outside an area I control (no good for wiping out enemy resources?) and when I flood or volcano an opposing city, the AI doesn't realize I did it and/or doesn't care. Who doesn't declare war on you for sniping their city with a volcano?!

Volcano/Flood >>> Earthquake!

(Volcano and Flood both have predictable outcomes while Earthquake is random)

There is one combat spell that causes units to not be able to enter the tile, but they easily move around it, its pretty pathetic, I actually laughed out loud at the idea of the spell on a completely flat battlefield.  Could be usful if the tactical battle fields had any depth to them at all, but nothing.

I use raise, lower land all the time.  My city out of space, cramped between a mountain and the sea? OK, raise land seaward, and lower land mountain side.   Have two important cities separated by mountains.  lower land yourself to make a pass.  have annoying neighbors, but you aren't ready to conquer them?  raise land to mountains and close off the passage.  Blistering sand to wipe forests with the monsters in them?  Cool, never thought of that.  Thanks....

Me too, I f*** the Earth all day long with my magic shlong.  Shit, sometimes I decide that I want an island city, and if I cant find a motha f'n island, I make one!  And then I might close it off to the world with mountains?  Why? because I can.  Thats why.  I might then close of a neutral faction with mountains just to keep them safe from the hater nations that always want to steel their sweet, sweet neutral iron and ogres. 

11. Hexes instead of squares for tactical combat...

Nah, I don't think they will change it, may be in Elemental 2...
