It should work with 1.2. I will probably update the thread to state this.

[quote who="jecjackal" reply="2" id="2932017"]Wow, you could even call this mod "Elemental: Resurrection". Its this type of uniqueness that the game really needs atm.[/quote] The idea was not to reboot WoM, but simply to give each faction its own personality. Impinc and I were both tired of having each faction played in a near identical way, and thus this mod came to life. As you can see from the factions we have done so far, altar and capitar still have a lot of the same buildings an

The argument you make is the same one the postal service makes and it is valid. if we leave the big markets to be plucked by competitors, the smaller markets will bear the burden.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="59" id="2931445"] Quoting Dr Guy, reply 58Quoting Alstein, reply 56If they all collude to cap, which is happening- then they don't need to worry about losing customers. There are laws on the books about this- but you can't win a case about it, and it's so so hard to prove. Given that cable is for the most part a monopoly (each area has only one provider), I do not think they need to collude. They opened up the phone lines

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="35" id="2931409"] The lvl 10 mob gives 100 XP to a single lvl 10 foe when defeated*. Since the faction side has three individuals this automatically gets divided by 3. The lvl 10 champ gets 33 XP. Since the lvl 15 champ is 50% higher lvl than the mob, his xp is reduced by 50%. He gets 17 xp. And since the lvl 1 champ will most likely hang back in the battle or do minor dmg or healing (or whatever) his xp ought to be reduced

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="31" id="2930512"]Our only chance to resist this is by the organization of collectives. As Patrick Henry said, "We hang together or surely we will hang separately." I'd love to see the ISP's across a bargaining table. [/quote] The organization of a collective traditionally is a good idea, however in the current political climate, such collectives are hard to organize and even harder to maintain. A good example of this would be the tea party movement.

Capping internet is a terrible situation, and one that will have incredible ramifications across the entire American landscape. While several articles have focused on Netflix as being highly effected, this would also have serious ramifications for many industries. While companies like netflix can easily use over a GB of data for its videos, digital games distribution can require many times this amount for the distribution of one title, not including the additional bandwidth required for verif

[quote who="Gaston_DAoust" reply="43" id="2929673"]Actually, it could be an awesome trait if you could contract the bandits you hire to harass another faction - similar to SoaSE. Lord knows they can be a pain in the ass for my faction and it would be refreshing if you could get them to bug somebody else for a change. What do you guys think about that idea?[/quote] This sound like an interesting idea, though as I previously stated, this sounds more like a overall mechanic or faction tr

[quote who="Gwenio1" reply="26" id="2928062"]I did not say it was a good implementation, just that it had machanics to make choosing who would land the killing blow interesting. As I said, it depends on the type of game as well, and the system AoW had fit well with the type of game it was: one that focused on having elite, small forces and using them well. Also some of its machanics would have made a per action system not work as well. See the resurgence ability.[/quote] Th

[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="23" id="2927935"]Participation-based XP does not make any sense. How much experience you can get from watching your colleagues beating someone up, standing in the back rank? Probably same amount as watching a boxing match in TV - none at all.[/quote] This is grossly incorrect. A man who sits at home watching a boxing match may absorb the forms of various punches and combinations and may even gain some understanding of the the various strategies for enga

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="4" id="2927098"]I haven't played much Civ 4 but I played a lot of Civ 3. Mostly the only reasons I would upgrade is because of UI and combat. Combat is much deeper now, and very distinctly Civilization. I love it, but ya the rest of the game is kinda simple. Not bad but a little raw. The new UI is actually pretty cool and allows you to do turns extremely quickly and makes it actually impossible to forget to do something without being intrusive or awkward. As f

I've been playing SMP minecraft a whole bunch. I am an admin on a 1.4 server and have been working on making dungeons and mazes for the people on my server to run. I have also been playing magicka.

[quote who="Gwenio1" reply="21" id="2927857"]What the best system is depends on the game. Age of Wonders had a combat system that made arranging who gets a kill interesting; E:WoM not so much.[/quote] In general, an IEB system can add interesting decisions to combat, but typically give a huge advantage to direct damage units over supporting units or indirect damage units. Looking at AoW, the IEB experience system featured in that title was the weakest form of IEB system. Not only did

Not to downplay your post but you should have a look at this thread https://forums.elementalgame.com/404541 . The devs have been known to take a look at it.

[quote who="OMG_pacov" reply="32" id="2926858"] Quoting kenata, reply 30snip Thanks for the detailed reply (looking forward to hearing from eviliron once he's feeling better ). Sounds like it could be a lot of fun. So, the game never technically ends, though? You just play and become more powerful, etc, right? So is there that much of a story element? Eg, is there always something to do or some guidance as to who to fight, etc? Or do you

[quote who="OMG_pacov" reply="28" id="2926740"]Anyone mind taking a little more time to elaborate on why you like M&B:Warband? Been reading the thread and I certainly wouldn't mind another great PC game. For instance, what's so great about the core game... the mod diplomacy... and battlefield tactics mod? Why would someone prefer this to the base game. Also, are you guys playing SP or what? Any other mods that would add some value? An

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="8" id="2926556"]Thats fair too. Not sure I would put this as a top priority though.[/quote] Oh I completely agree about that.

If you have a strong enough computer, you should use a battle size modifier. Battles of 100 v 100 are ok, but 300 v 300 are wildly amazing ;)

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="6" id="2926541"]Fight fair? This is war. And you should have every encouragement to create the most lopsided victories possible. It's not good war to go fight even or difficult battles all the time. I was on the fence, but now I am convinced it should stay the same.[/quote] Lord Xia, You are totally correct. War is not about fair, but then again, War is not really about experience gain either. The only good reason to change the

I think the OP has a point, though I think it fails to make a strong enough point. In general, we will group experience systems into one of three groups - Participation based, Individual Event Based(IEB), and Split Battle Event Based(SEB). The current experience system is a participation based system which evenly rewards units for their participation in the battle, regardless of their action. This system gives players a heavy incentive to create the largest parties possible and to prefer smal

Diplomacy is one of the best mods. Especially for the late game when you are trying to do your own faction.
