There are things lurking in the world of Elemental that are just breathtakingly powerful and rare. And rare, I mean that you may only encounter or hear of one maybe after months of playing the game. We’ll talk about that more later though. Little late but... THIS is exactly what feel was missing from every other games (of HOMM type). You play a random map...you know what items are going to be

Is there a problem with the GC2 system? IE units must sit and wait a period of time for thier upgrade. There's no concern about the actual physical transport. The problem would now be, what determines the upgrade time? Thing to think about AI / game design wise vs. reality: If a blacksmith can make 5 swords in a day and it's going to take a week to get the new swords to the 5 men that need them.

In fact, a game called 'Dwarf Fortress' actually has a moto of "Losing is fun!" http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Fun <

[quote who="Cikomyr" reply="20" id="2174799"]To be honest, I think it would be more interesting to see random sampling of new features everytime you create a new game. It will increase re-playability, and also put more incentive toward shuffling your strategy.[/quote] I like this idea...am I understanding it right? Lemme do my version. Each time you start a world there are different variables that determine the 'flavor' of the world. AND possibly the pl
