I still prefer the way Master of Magic did it: Each attack point was a chance of hit, each defense value was a chance of defense. This gives a nice curve of distribution of damage values as opposed to the version that Elemental had at release with the "I one shot you or do nothing" effect 10 Damage vs. 10 defense. If each point of damage only has 70% chance to land, and each point of defense has 70% chance to work, you still have your 1 in a million

The main difficulty is the unit and combat animations - everything else is trivial in comparison. There's no point in saying there's 100 men in a squad if it still only looks like 4.

This happens to me when I do not have "cloth map only" checked. The workaround in my case is to hit 1 and zoom back out.

[quote]This is definitely a bug, since that feature would make useless the option "upgrade" which would only lead to units less powerful and/or more expensive.[/quote] To highlight this even further, if you replace other pieces but leave the non selectable slots alone, you can create unit gear combinations that are more powerful than normal. I.e. if a unit has special chest and leg pieces, you can add a helm and change the weapon - it'll keep the hidden selection

[quote]If you have multiple champions with the "panic" perk (that reduces enemy morale) they lose their ability to act. It's an intended feature. [/quote] It still happens with only 1 champion in the fight. My morale is absurdly high. The enemy still fights in auto resolve. The enemy still gets 1 move in tactical combat. If it is in fact intended, it would still be a bug; It's inconsistent between auto resolve and tactical,

[quote who="jstrebel" reply="16" id="2709683"]Thanks Greg, I'm in the US. I could order a Dell, Alienware or any other myriad of "customized" computers but I find they never work as well as one I build myself and always have "garbage-wear" installed. I've built a few desktops, some from kits, some from scratch, but I haven't been able to find a laptop kit yet that wasn't a full build.[/quote] If you want the convenience of a prebuilt system + the customized parts, go wi

Even if you don't specifically index that area, rebuilding your computer's index can help. Especially if you see a few folders pop up then the load time, then the rest.

I had this issue too, and made this thread with the files required: https://forums.elementalgame.com/391631

Make sure you have no units that are waiting to be moved. Occasionally a peasant in the middle of nowhere stopped me from ending my turn.

Any volunteers to save Q&A highlights or chat logs from this for those of us who won't be attending? Or are there any Elemental gaming fan news sites up that would get in on this? Thanks.

[quote who="AlphaSite" reply="23" id="2710443"]Why not just create one big pre-parsed xml for non modded versions for the game. Which is bundled with the game and tie it in with 'blob' of xml? Or get the installer to do it during install, iv noticed people dont really mind too long install times.[/quote] Please do this instead of on first/every load. Have install and patches create/update your cache, segmented out to reduce refresh time. Potentially even include a pre-buil

[quote who="Tomgi" reply="10" id="2689920"]I would love a MoM mod. The biggest hurdle I see as the game stands now is the implementation of Myrror. I have no idea if E:WoM have the ability to do that. Apart from that it looks like all the necessary construction blocks are there.[/quote] There was discussion about that in another thread - map changing hooks are in game, which should support this, dungeons with maps, etc.

[quote who="Demiansky" reply="6" id="2687402"]Yeah, I guess the question is whether the mechanics of the game could accomodate a Master of Magic clone. So far, it looks like Elemental mod potential is very versalite, but I'm not entirely sure. [/quote] From what I've seen, they're very interested in adding support for mods later. If such a mod was complete except a few features that required additional modding hooks, we'd be able to request them. I take it thi

I would appreciate a mod branch that's a clone of Master of Magic, for other mods to base off of, yes.
