what if it work like this : 1st champion : basic payment gildar 2nd champion : basic payment gildar x 2 3rd champion : basic payment gildar x 3 4th champion : basic payment gildar x 4 ..................... .................... 10th champion : Basic payment gildar x 10
But the problem remain. People will tend to make a winning group contains of champions and forget about the ordinary unit. Instead of one unit of champions, they will make two or three or four, but units will still ignored.
I don't know about the city, but this topic remind me on of KOEI game that I played recently. The idea is to put defensive structures in strategic location, like archery tower, etc. And these structures will fire at the enemy before they come to the town centre. To avoid terrible lost, the enemy should destroy the tower first, and the defender can manned the tower with their soldiers to protect it.
[quote who="Jon Shafer" reply="57" id="2860522"]That is the real Jon Shafer. At least that's what he told me. To get serious for a bit though - my goal is not to come to Stardock and change everything. Every company and every project has different goals, priorities and challenges to overcome. With Civ 5 we had a particular target, but that doesn't mean every Stardock game I'm involved with is going to be like Civ 5 in some way. Stardock aims for a different audience compared with o
Welcome aboard Mr. Jon Shafer. Ignore those who oppose you. I know that Civ 5 is better than Civilization 4, as honestly, I thought that civilization 4 was the worst civilization series. But, yes I know, Civilization 5 is lack of a lot of things, but it can be added by the expansion set. So, don't be upset. So I know that your presence here will give positive improvement to our beloved Elemental EWOM, and maybe the next Galciv 3 (who know)
Quick Brad, give Rebelito a cake to apology. But... well, that's not my problem. Well, Jon is a good edition to Stardock. So welcome to forum, son, if you haven't do it.
Why not hire George R.R Martin? [e digicons]}:)[/e] Oh noooo, we will never see Elemental again for the next decade, if it's him. So, welcome Dave, if you decide to greet us in this forum [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] I hope you can give a contribution to AAR section to show us how great of our elemental can be. You know... I love to read AAR, but our forum is lack of AAR story that I can read :( Plus, sometime, AAR can raise our spirit to play the game again. It's happen to ano
About the civ franchise, I prefer Civilization 3 to Civ 4, and I love Civ 5 rather than Civ 4. FOR ME, Civ 4 was the worst civilization game ever!!! Except for it's religion idea. It was superb (honestly, if only Civ 5 has religion thing in their feature...) but that's only personal opinion.
who is this person really?
The problem of Elemental EWOM Champion is that there are a lot of them, and people tend to recruit them all. If the champion is too strong, the army will be useless, but if the champion is too ordinary, the game will felt bland. In a game like this, there are always two kind of gamers. First, the people who play it as strategy game and consider the map as a board of play and every units as unit. The other are role playing game people. I don't say about the RPG system like Diablo etc,
I think heroes should act like the king in a chess game. He provides bonus to the group, but must be protected at all cost. I see that it is ridiculous to see a single unit destroy groups of soldiers singlehandedly. What is he / she? Rambo? a god? But it is only apply to late game, when the group of army is too big for a single unit to handle.
well, the Pirates are heroes of their own kind. I just remember about a comedy movie called Euro Trip, where the protagonists could become rich men in poor eastern Europe Country (in that movie, 1 dollar is a fortune). Just imagine for people who live in that country, buying an original game will take all of their fortunes.

From beginning of the time, Elemental EWOM has a balance issue with the Champion aka Heroes. their number and power make some people forget about the existence of regular army, their price make people complain, and their uselessness at the end game drive a lot of people crazy. So what should we do? If we make the champion stronger, then the player will avoid regular soldier and go to them, if we make the champion weaker, then people will think that they are useless.Making all
well I don't mind if the AI cheat at the highest difficulty level, as cheater (player) will find challenge that way. Remind me to my friend who cheated in Master of Orion 2. Because he found no challenge to lower difficulty level, then he just prefer the highest difficulty level for challenge. Well, cheater must stands against cheater :P
I think it is necessary for Mr. Frog to play against human players, analyst it and then use the most effective strategy from the experience to teach the AI. Without the challenge and experience of being defeated, humiliated or maybe win against other humans, no one know how to make a clever AI. What about challenge every veteran players in this forum one on one battle? The information will be priceless, and no one will find no challenge from the AI who can beat the best

Since it's simultaneous turns, he got caught in a bad situation which you were able to capitalize on.

Well, I have play a lot of classic games and I love them, but I think I don't want to play the exact game today as the old games tend to have simpler gameplay, bad graphic, and more. What I like is a kind of glorious old games that enhanced in term of feature, gameplay and graphic. I love MOM, but to play the same MOM again today (even if you enhance the graphic and AI) is boring. You need to enhance it more and more, to put more feature and gameplay (and a bit better graphic - I'm not fond t

I don't want a kick ass champion, I want a useful notable persons who has unique purposes for my kingdom (not only at the beginning but to the entire game).
The problem is that Stardock doesn't call the Hero, Hero. They call them Notable Person. Sooo I don't think that they are hero. They are just people that noticeable by your sovereign because of their past deed. Of course, some of them have the capability to become a hero, but many of them just people who can help your sovereign build the kingdom. Soooo, rather than Hero, I prefer to call the Officer / helper / wiseman / etc. They are just the "officer" from the Koei's game Romance of
