I take back my Dell statement. I found that ASUS had more bang for the buck: http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=609969 (its in norwegian - click on Utvidet Info to get the full spec). In USD its $2000.
I would be surprised if they cannot find quite a few spells that they will implement. At least the ones from me :)
I think lots of ppl are too negative here. Sanitation can give interesting choices. If you lack sanitation it can slow growth as already mentioned, but it could also attract animals like giant rats, sewer snakes or what not. If you have good sanitation you could cet positive quests that will give great rewards (build aquaduct and a waterfestival will attract more people), and if you lack it you could get more negative ones (kill the rat packs in city radius or population will go down by a few
Sounds like this isnt quite ready for 1.1 or??
About that building maintenance. Could you consider other negative effects of some buildings as well. If you build too many markets (or similar buildings) you will attract more attention from bandits. If you neglect hygiene buildings then rats and such will come knocking, or even diseases that will reduce population slowly but surely.
Ok, spamming over. Going to bed now. Have a nice day/night ppl
How about a commanding sovereign that gives +10 exp to all new units.
How about a summoner sovereign that can summon sligthly stronger units than normal or even a unit that noone else can summon
How about an experienced traveller sovereign. He gets a bonus level to his adventure skill so that he can see and take level 2 quests/locations (cant remember, I am on red wine here).
Maybe a resourceful sovereign that at random intervals will find an extra resource withing his territory. Not too often, but it would be a cool thing.
How about a sovereign with an affinity for nature? Every x number of turns this hero gets an animal unit (spider, wolf and such, not too powerful early game, but helpful). After x number of turns the ability gives a strong unit, but then does no more.
I would like a vengeful sovereign. Someone that has been betrayed in some way. This gives +2 attack bonuses against all units of opposite alignment.
I would wait until 1.1 to get a more positive experience. Should not be many days after you get your comp.
I will be waiting [e digicons]:troll:[/e] If the game keeps improving (certainly needed) then I will be with you all the way. A great game is always worth waiting for. They are few and far between.
My positives: 1. Getting to chose between bonuses and getting an extra unit on city levelup. To enhance this, make the unit be more random in stats. At least in Single Player. Scale this so that you get better units on higher level cities and later in the game. 2. I like monsters roaming. There should be a risk for being plundered by bears or whatever. 3. I like every unit getting exp, but it should be better calculated than currently. 4. I like the fact that t
As we say to all the rookies :) Wait for patch 1.1 (early November) and read the feedback of that one.
I second this. I have written more or less the same in a few other threads. Let us deciede the frequency of monsters.
[quote who="Thormodr" reply="42" id="2807264"]Definitely agree that they have to do something about water. They need resources in the ocean to make it more useful.[/quote] This is probably an expansion in the future :) Elemental: The Wet Magic (tm)
[quote who="Nenjin" reply="7" id="2807011"]I just hate their business practices from top to bottom, and my experience with their hardware and devices is that they're cheap and have a very short lifespan, possibly intentionally. I like to believe that, in the free market system, if you run a business terribly and produce a crappy product, you fold. Dell constantly refutes that, and has survived some stuff that most companies would not have. So I kind of have to believe they have a pact with Sa
These changes sounds like a very good start to reinventing Elemental :) I havent played for a while now as the game is pretty slow on my comp and it is not very fun to play yet. 1.1 gives me faith. A few more updates like this and we leave CIV V in the dust [e digicons]}:)[/e] (I want CIV V to succeed as well ofcourse)
I would like to mention Kings Bounty Legend and Kings Bounty Armoured Princess. Stable and fun for me all the way!!! The only bug I know of was some morale bug when you used droids (they dont have morale), and then switched back to normal units.
[quote who="charon2112" reply="11" id="2805914"] I had a question about this. If the minor races expand and can win, aren't they not minor anymore...?[/quote] They would have special rules to adhere to cause they start with ogre camps and such. If they played like normal, that would win them the game every time. I would like for them to slowly expand (for example attracting half the people that normal empires do). They would also start without a sovereign
To make more money.
I wouldnt mind Steam so much I they didnt have these exclusive games like Empire Total War and CIV V. Steam is getting far too much power in my opinion. I use Gamersgate and Impulse for now, but I might be forced into Steam if lots of games will be Steam only.
1. I want minor nations to expand and in extreme cases they could win the game 2. I want minor nations to expand and in extreme cases they could win the game 3. I want minor nations to expand and in extreme cases they could win the game 4. I want minor nations to expand and in extreme cases they could win the game 5. What the rest of you said
