A simple spell request

from Elemental Forums

One added spell to the game that might make movement a little easier is a more powerful version of lower land that hits a 3x3  area to make casting it faster. This is suggested with the understanding that movement on flat land is faster than movement on hilly land or mountain regions. This will make it easier to create a road infrastructure between our cities etc.

Or a spell that creates a 'new' one tile flat land.  And if a road is in an adjacent tile, makes a road that connects to that tile, in the 'new' flat tile?

or a spell that removes dead 'roadblock' items (old huts that won't go away come to mind)

A wind walker spell, basically you float over terrain (water, forest etc.)

Mountain climbing spell, lets you walk over mountains without terraforming

the 3x3 lower land would be a dream. I would sell 3 of my 4 offspring for that. Screw the dynasties, LOL

a Haste spell for movement (we already have restricted number of enchantments, why not give us some sweet ones)

an "enchant road" spell like in MoM would be nice too.

frogboy did say that the would have to change the programming to units to be able to give them abilities that is not dependent on item equipment. if they took the time to do that now it would pushback the release of 1.1

I am hoping they add in movement abilities when they do that. I don't understand why they don't already have them in the game but i think they held to the belief that the items that gave movement bonuses at the cost of items that gave armour bonuses would do the job. Also i think a hero led stack moves with the heroes movement points, which might make my uber assassin archer scouts useless considering how much crystal i pump into those units :/

 

elanaAhova => i'm sorry but i a'm very confused by your post and i simply don't understand what it is you are asking for. I think it is  a combination of lower land, desert sands and create road all in one spell which is unlikely to happen.

Considering the history of fantasy games ( computer, board games, roleplaying etc)  i am confused by the lack of breadth in the magic system and can only assume they ran out of time and had to publish the game.
