Tormy-

Motherboard or PSU error for sure.

Anyone ever played with a game called "Sword of Aragon"? I just read that it was a decent strategy game. I must try it out, I don't really care about the gfx. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_of_Aragon Anyways here is the intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjkEusIw0k0

[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="37" id="2610584"]I'd like a "generic fantasy" mod, with Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Orcs and so on. Maybe I'll even get involved in creating it... (inspired by some classic games, like MoM, HoMM and the Age of Wonders series). [/quote] I also plan to work on a mod like that, perhaps we should join our forces later on. ;)

[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="49" id="2610593"]I think a "phase-based" combat (a phase of giving orders, then a phase when all units move and fight simultaneously for a fixed amount of time, then an orders phase again and so on) is a better idea than BG-like pausable battles. In multiplayer it can be annoying if the opponent pauses the combat every few seconds, and if the pause is disabled in MP it becomes an RTS, which TBS-lovers like me don't like. [/quote] Whi

[quote who="Raven X" reply="24" id="2610498"] Dragon Age is quite simply one of the best RPG's EVER MADE!!! Nuf' said. [/quote] Agreed, even tho the expansion wasn't that good. :| I guess I won't buy more expansions...I am going to wait for DA 2. ..as for the best RPG ever made...imo that is Temple of Elemental Evil [You must install the huge community mod for it, because the retail game had many problems.] It's just brilliant.

[quote who="ckessel" reply="2" id="2610502"] Asking for a mutual peace treaty might take a potent envoy [/quote] I don't know....Why should it matter that what kind of "envoy" you gonna send? The other Kingdoms/Empires should care about the power/threat level of other Kingdoms & Empires + the relationship between the sides must also have a strong effect of course. Example: If you -the player- will destroy some cities/armies/caravans/whatever of a given Kingdom, it s

Re cities: Right now my biggest concern is the city "spamming". We have a tiny map in the Beta 1Z builds, but even on this tiny map it's possible to build lot of cities. It doesn't feels right. There must be a bigger gap between the cities. AFAIK now we have a "4 tiles rule" [4 tiles are the minimum gap between the cities], this should be changed to 6 tiles at least.

[quote who="Tasunke" reply="43" id="2609872"]Well, I want to be able to paint my Crummy Armor Red, or my Iron Armors Red. I want Blue legions, Green Legions, Red Legions, and Yellow Legions [/quote] Yeah, it would be cool. I've made a suggestion about this a while ago. [e digicons]|-)[/e]

[quote] The object of beta 2 will be to begin the testing of the server infrastructure. Elemental is client/server for its multiplayer. In fact, it’s dedicated server for beta 2 – players will be playing on our own servers distributed across the world. [/quote] Nice, so I suppose we gonna have EU "master servers" as well. Not that ping matters in a TBS, so I could easily play on a US server as well. [quote] One multiplayer mode is called

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="83" id="2609684"] Had they not done so, the maps would all have had to have been larger and this in my experience tends to lead to 'hinterlands' syndrome- cities far from the frontlines become completely ignored and never really threatened, making them simple cash cows. The solution for that would be to have magical spells to create rifts or have moon gates or something. [/quote] Mass Teleport? [e digicons]*_*[/e]

[quote who="TarponCrest" reply="37" id="2609696"]One thing though I know it is still early but the units need more "color flavor" everything is gray except dragon and the giants. ... yes I know "patience grasshopper"... [/quote] It's because of their armors. It looks like that most of the units [on that screenshot] are wearing the same armor type. [Probably some heavy iron plates or something like that.] [quote who="Ashbery76" reply="38" id="2609722"] I expect a ver

[quote who="leeboy26" reply="80" id="2609550"] I hear they worked well in AoW:SM though. [/quote] Absolutely. :)

[quote who="SwerydAss" reply="41" id="2609132"] - Kohan: Ahriman's Gift or Kohan II: Kings of War I put a vote towards those too..Very good games [/quote] Those are RTS games, not TBS.

[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="18" id="2609188"]Was this feature planned earlier and dropped? [/quote] I doubt it.

[quote who="TarponCrest" reply="17" id="2609278"] Quoting Tormy-, reply 15 Quoting Tasunke, reply 13Well ... I'd prefer auto-leveling over having only 5 "levels" for normal units ... but I would prefer custom leveling for all units most of all. As well as Experience being allocated based upon Damage Proportion and Kill #, but hey. Auto leveling worked like a charm in AoW2 - SM. Your units became stronger while leveling up [+HP,+ATT,+DEF, whatever]

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="74" id="2609195"] A lot of good ideas come from the limitations imposed on us though. And just because those limiations are removed doesn't mean we should abandon the idea as being "out dated". We're abandoning the idea because I don't like them. [/quote] ..but....but...Planes/multi level maps are awesome! [e digicons]:pout:[/e] Ah well....[e digicons]:-"[/e] [quote who="TCores" reply="75" id="

Just a couple of my ideas: - Protect the cities - Not only with troops but with magical spells as well. - Protect the Sovereign [#1 priority in EWoM, because Sov dies = Game Over] - Protect the Heroes/Generals - Use counter magic IF it's possible. [IE. If the player is using fire based spells mostly, try to research and use spells which offers protection against fire magic.] Obv

[quote who="wwwolf123" reply="71" id="2608455"] Quoting MTCason, reply 51 What I loved best about the Planes was the fact that if I was the only one with cities on one or the other, I could cast the spell to shut off Planar travel, barricade the towers that otherwise gave access across the Planes with a nice stack of troops, and I had an entire Plane to bustle in all by myself. 100% agree [/quote] Yeah. I love

Thanks for the info Froggie, and sorry for my impatience...[e digicons]O:)[/e]

Good stuff! :D
