In an earlier game an enemy Hero returned to being hireable again after I killed his sovereign. But in a more current game in a comparable situation the hero vanished like all the enemy troops and cities. So it seems to me this has been changed. As far as I am concerned I liked the old behaviour more.
Many people wrote a lot of true things about MOM in this thread. But I think there are two things I like most about MOM: 1) It is always full of good and bad surprises and twists of fate that shock you or make you cheer. As an example here a short excerpt from a fictious game playing as a life mage. Positive/negative twists of are marked with +/- + I start alone on a decent land mass with two good independent cities I´m able
[quote quoting="post"] One thing that is rather annoying in Elemental, is the use of squares and not Hexes. [/quote] Actually I think it is just a matter of taste. As an example: I prefer squares over hexes.
FFH2 was a very well done mod for Civ IV. After I had got it I never touched vanilla Civ 4 again. Unfortunately I disliked many of the basic Civ 4 gameplay decisions. So FFH2 was much more fun than the original game but after some time it too got boring to me. Nevertheless I think the creators of FFH2 are very talented people and I would like them doing some mod work for Elemental.

This is getting ridiculous ! If you think you´ll like Civ 5 more than Elemental in its current state then buy it. But please spare me from this "I am sorry Stardock!" nonsense. If you think you need to apologize because you did not buy a certain Stardock game you should explain in the first place why you are thinking you are obliged to buy this game. Regarding Civ 5.

[quote who="GaelicVigil" reply="104" id="2771999"] Disagree all you want, but until you can cite a source that claims that size is not a requirement for being epic, your personal definition means nothing.[/quote] It means a lot, Because it is not about whose definition of epic is right and whose is wrong. It is about what the majority of people regard as Epic. And it seems to me that the majority is more interested in good gameplay than in as much soldiers as possi

[quote]Yes, and making battles larger will make it more epic. Epic would be a perfectly fine word to use for a really big star, it would be perfectly fine to use for anything that has "more" or is "bigger" than the rest.[/quote] So an army of 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dragons annihilating 100,000,000 zombies is more epic to you than a lonely heavily wounded hero defeating an evil necromancer before he is able to summon enough undead to destroy the world ?
My opinion regarding this thread here and this one: https://forums.elementalgame.com/396516 . At the moment I strongly oppose raising the number of combatants per battle only because some people think that would make battles more epic. I strongly believe that currently there are more urgent tasks to do for SD. And it seems to me they are on a good way. I´m really looking forward to the city screen announced for 1.08. Epic, at least in
[quote who="Bobby Hardenbrook" reply="27" id="2763779"]1.07 is officially stable as far as I am concerned. One CTD and one minor graphical glitch in 20+ hours of gameplay, thats acceptable for a game this early in the release IMHO. In fact thats the same rate of issues I've had with SC2. If 1.07 had been the initial release version I bet the early reviews would have been a lot better. Oh well, its stable now and Stardock has already showed the game plan out to ve
I am wondering if you are talking about this forum, I am currently posting to ? Actually I think the vast majority of people who critisized SD did it in a quite constructive way. I much more often noticed threads in which criticless supporters of stardock where attacking people with legitimate (at least in my opinion) concerns about the game. (The company itself and especially Mr. Wardell is dealing with the critics in a very professional and open manner.) If you take
