[quote who="Robert Hentschke" reply="167" id="2756571"] Reseaching spell book "elements" sounds like a good idea but I would not completely take the elements off the sovereign creation. That's such a central theme that it should be woven into the game at all levels. Instead of giving them Fire Book yes/no, you could get bonus something to fire magic. For instance: Archmage: gain

[quote who="joasoze" reply="142" id="2756304"]Regarding these minor nations. If they are there to add flavor, dont fence them in. The one thing that I have always missed in CIV IV the for the barbarians to actually create a real empire if they are left alone long enough. I would love it if a minor nation would one day win a game that I am playing. What I would like is an option before the game is started that says the following: Minor nations: 1. Dont expand (

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="224" id="2755641"] No one was trying to "rip off" anyone. There was no malicious intent. I could go on for hours pointing out how many "bugs" in the game (from memory to crashes to performance) were related to the interaction of valid APIs being called that simply ran into an edge case with a driver/OS/graphics card combo. But that would be just making pathetic excuses for the reality that if you want to release a high profile PC game in 2010, these are

[e digicons] PS. Mark my words people....EWoM will be amongst the top3 fantasy TBS games after the gameplay mechanics will be enhanced/polished. [Side note: The remaining bugs and system specific CTDs will be fixed very fast, so no worries. :)]

Welcome back Froggie! :) [quote quoting="post"] Improving the AI Part 1. There is a little (lot) of confusion on the AI. Minor factions aren’t supposed to build. They’re just there. I think we’ll have to change that to either make it more obvious that they don’t do anything (like change the style of city to be more obvious) or have them behave more like major factions.

"Battle Report #1" - New in-game video!

Nothing is changed in v1.07 in regard to the "spellcasting AI" as I see.

[quote who="Valentine82" reply="4" id="2754368"]Where are the patch notes? [/quote] Here you go!

Oldschool RPG with a party based, decent combat system - Knights of the Chalice - The gfx is bad, but the gameplay is awesome. :)

Nice! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="27" id="2753443"]It is important because if it turns out to be a failure, probably nobody will make this kind of games for years. The only promising game in this genre that and I can see on the horizon is the mysterious standalone FFH. [/quote] Standalone FFH? Ehhhhh....there is a huge difference between creating a new game and modding an existing game. ;)

[quote who="DKL" reply="30" id="2754183"] The saving grace is that in this niche (fantasy TBS RPG crossover) there is really little competion Dominions 3 still beat E:WoM hands down. [/quote] I love Doms3, it is definitely one of the best and most complex fantasy TBS games, but I wouldn't compare it to EWoM. EWoM should be compared to AoW/AoW-SM/MoM for example.

The Guild 2 Renaissance (even more buggy than Elemental, but then it appears all JoWood games are). 5. Dragon Age Interesting....where's number 2. What exactly is between your girlfriend and yourself? [/

It's a computer version of the Birthright setting for Dungeons and Dragons TRPG. I had the impression that Birthright was very buggy and unbalanced (rather like Elemental) and never really got fixed (hopefully not like Elemental). A

Seriously though, that's kind of cool. Not only do you learn something (hopefully, lol) but it's challenging?! When you order it and have it shipped, does it include a printed manual in that too?</str

[quote who="Xan" reply="168" id="2751371"]Elemental's going to get a 60 or so metacritic average and you think they should be counting their lucky stars? Only an idiot or asshole would consider that lucky, take your pick. Go out onto Metacritic and look at the types of games that get a 60 metacritic average. MOO 3, a total POS game got in the 60s. Elemental has its flaws but it's a masterpiece compared to MOO3 when it launched. And only became marginally better because
