[quote who="Climber" reply="23" id="2524073"]It think it will be more fun if the charm spell NEVER fails. If you attempt to charm a more powerful monster, the duration of the charm decreases. [/quote] I don't like this idea. [e digicons]>_>[/e] Spells like what you have mentioned can imbalance the [vanilla] gameplay very easily. Besides, it makes no sense at all. Charm = magical spell. Magical resistance protects a creature against magical spells. So bas

[quote who="Ephafn" reply="1" id="2523506"] What the game currently does is this... - calc the difference between the two units levels (TARGET LVL - PARENT LVL: a negative value meaning the target is weaker) - subtract the above difference from the STRENGTH (a weaker target will result in a stronger strength) - use the new STRENGTH value as a % chance the charm will work. The problem with such a formula is that it makes differences in level almost in

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="2" id="2515062"]Less descriptions, more pics!!!! [/quote] Hell yeah! :D

HW2? What game is that?

[quote who="goodgimp" reply="10" id="2513054"]That's fantastic, I was always a big fan of AoW's score. [/quote] Same here! Good news! :)

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="29" id="2510047"]Almost completely unrelated, can't you give an example of what you call "Populus"-like powers? I remember the suggestion of "burning a hole in the map" from way back, like someone pressed a cigar against it, resulting in a big hole in the game world, with possible hilarity as the ocean pours into it in massive waterfalls. I still think that's a good idea. [/quote] Earthquakes? Tsunamis? Stuff like that I guess. ;

I like this topic! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="46" id="2505992"] I suppose the answer will be no, so is it possible that we gonna have a save/load MP game feature later on? The plan is, yes. Your saved games will be on our servers. Once the game starts, all the "mods" are part of a single data. Its location becomes irrelevant. [/quote] Awesome. :)

I repeat my question again: Can't we save and reload LAN MP games just like in Civ4 or Dominions 3? [So the host won't have to maintain the server 24/7..] I suppose the answer will be no, so is it possible that we gonna have a save/load MP game feature later on?

[quote who="Ashbery76" reply="28" id="2504938"]I hope the 20 or 30 people who will play mulitplayer enjoy it. I will not. [/quote] You gotta be kidding. MP [combined with mods] will be epic in a game like this. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]

*shrugs* [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]

Awesome, but I am bit a confused. Can't we host a MP game like we did in Civ 4. for example? IE: X player hosts a server for 3 hours. After that the host saves the game, and everyone quits. When all players are online again, they continue to play: The host creates a server again -> reloads the game -> players join and continue to play. Custom servers with modded content are awesome, but it's kinda disappointing that the host must be online all the time.

Hortz you can't be serious. Gameplay elements [strategical / tactical] & diversity >>>> GFX anytime. Who the heck gives a damn about pretty graphics? Which game was your example? Ohhh right, King's Bounty. Elemental will be a grand strategy game, unlike King's Bounty. Besides you cannot even compare these games at all. You can compare Elemental to AoW II. - SM maybe...but King's Bounty? You gotta be kidding. Also just one more thing. Ever heard about Dominions

[quote who="Raven X" reply="9" id="2503807"]Save the pic to your PC then enhance it and increase the size. It looks like a Sov standing on a rock with a army trying to kill a demon. Good stuff Brad [/quote] Yeah it's a Sov, but the creature looks like a Dragon to me. :D

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="19" id="2503789"]Marketing has requested Battle videos in May, so I wouldn't expect anything before then [/quote] [e digicons]

[quote who="KellenDunk" reply="4" id="2503454"] At least he isn't insulting our IQs this time for not thinking that the animations are the MOST IMPORTANT thing. [/quote] Lmao! [e digicons]XD[/e]

Let's do not forget about the races in AoW 2. - SM. That game was awesome because of the very different races/units -> tactics & strategies + the amazing tactical combat. ;)

[quote who="Teseer" reply="2" id="2501999"]We only have two years left! We need to get as much gaming in as possible. [/quote] Heh. /facepalm [e digicons];P[/e]

- Elemental - New version of Dwarf Fortress [e digicons]:dur:[/e] - Battlefield: Bad Company 2. - AvP 3.

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="14" id="2501721"] But I remain convinced that the whole question is best postponed until we see roughly-finished versions of the canon factions. This is all we ask The race design screens are currently being implemented and I think you'll be astounded by the amount of options to play with (both visual and statistical) to make a the non-canon races of your liking. We've also held off on introducing the 12 different factions that you can play

[quote who="CapnWinky" reply="5" id="2501147"]I can see both sides, however, I would really want different races and cant wait until they're modded in! [/quote] Yeah same here, but imho modding in new races won't be easy...just don't forget...those new races must have new 3D models. Not only that, but those models must have animations as well. [Death, swinging with a weapon etc. etc.] Oh and let's don't forget about armors and weapons. The existing armor "models" for example won'

[quote who="Vandenburg" reply="2" id="2498955"]Couldn't you post a higher resolution scan? [/quote] Someone should do it, because I refuse to buy gaming mags. [e digicons]

[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] That battle screenshot looks decent.

Merry X-mas! :)

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="9" id="2482328"] Quoting Tormy-, reply 6 Why do you think so? Because multiplayer simply isn't big in this genre. [/quote] I don't agree....just take a look at Dominions 3...on the other hand it was designed to be a PBEM MP game mainly...so who knows. Either way I had lot of online matches with AoW 2. - SM as well.
