I know there are a lot of good suggestion on the forum, but please Stardock, be yourself, and make the best of it that will enhance the fun of Elemental : War of Magic. For one thing, you can't satisfy everyone here. But if you make a good combat mechanic, most people will love it. Just think about it, Age of Wonder has good Tactical Combat System, but... it is slow pace and make me bored. But is it bad? No, it is just me that dislike that kind of complexity. While the Heroes

I don't know about this, but don't you think that unit level will make the game unbalance or not fun for multiplayer game? It is not only about the Elemental. But look at DOTA (Warcraft 3 Mod), The side who have higher level will always has better chance to win the game. I Just imagine, when in multiplayer game, one player has already the highest level party, then he / she kicks the other's highest level party. That's mean a game over for the other players. Because with that b

Hi James, when the mod will updated? Balance issue : - (from the vanila, but please fix it) just force the players to choose only one or two spellbooks at the sovereign creator - Warrior + Att Proficiency + Def Proficiency + daring + etc seems over powered. So I think rather than buff up the Warrior, you give the players a skill that work on battlefield. Just like your speed talent. - The mage has too much essense at the beginning of the game. I haven't

What if... we just add food requirement to the pioneer build? So as long as you don't have 1 point of food, you won't be able to create a pioneer. Then, you add one more food to the new city build. Basically, we add 1 food maintain to each pioneer we build, and then we add 1 food maintain to each city we build. To give the first city to establish, we just give 1 food to the starting resource, so your sovereign will able to build the first city. Can we do it? How it hur

good AI is only available when there are good players input to the developer. Why? Because the AI can only as good as it's maker when he / she plays the game. So, definately, playing hard AI is just like you play against Frogboy one by one. If it suck, then Frog boy is suck as a gamer :D That's why Developer tend to let the AI cheat. Because they know that AI won't improve if not edited by it's maker. My input about AI is that the developer need to upgrade the AI regulary so it can st

Good mod, I enjoy it much. Say, we have dedicated magic mod here. So what about other? Like warrior mod or commander mod, or priest mod or religious (fantasy) mod? No one care to make it and combine it with this fine mod? I just can't wait those mod :D Oh, I almost forget, to balance the thing, how about to force the player to choose only one or two spellbooks? at the sovereign creation? just my 2 cents

Maybe we can balance / reduce the city spam just by add the pop need to 11. By then, only a city with a house will able to create a pioneer. Just thinking, will it hurt the AI Economy?

what happen to AI when we change the value of Pioneer? Will it okay?

[quote who="Archonsod" reply="15" id="2768393"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 6 2. The magic system in Elemental needs to be overhauled and, over time brought more in line to its original inspiration - MOM. There are a lot of practical reasons that I think users can think of as to why we didn't just copy the MOM magic system for a 2010 game (same as to why we wouldn't have dozens of radically different races -- think: cost of low resolution sprites vs. fully realized 3D models). &nbs

why not just use the charisma to enhance the city? For example, Merchant Hero will give the benefit to the gildar that the city produce based on his charisma. Why charisma? Because they are hero. Lead the people in the city to enhance the city production. Not just because they sell the wares or to farm the land by themselves.

Well, for software developer, Piracy is indeed kill them; but for hardware industry, just like Playstation and X-Box, piracy will increase their sales. Why? Because, Pirated DVD is cheaper than the original ones. The high price prevent people from the third world to buy Playstation or X-Box. That's why they just secretly share the way to pirate their game, so people who can't afford the original games can play and buy the console. Even with the pirated version.

I think it is the adventure tech that problematic. Rather than it unleash strong monsters, I think the Adventure Tech should be changed to Religious Tech / Titan Tech. The trigger of monster unleash should be change to the turn number. For example : Beginner monster start from turn 1, then more stronger monsters in turn 100, etc, etc, etc until the strongest monster unleashed

Well, I know that for someone this idea is lame, but because i urge to post this idea to the forum, so just let me be Kingdom Faction. For some fairy tale story is represent the faction of good people. Plus, in most of fantasy novel, it represent the men's kingdom in medieval era period. So, I think, rather than it has only one type of unit (A Peasant with a stick) that can be equiped with various weapons and armors, I give the idea to expand the unit type in Galactic C

Well, I, myself prefer global resource for 'Elemental', as adding a lot of buildings to one city will surely cost more memory to the PC. What Elemental needs now is not that additional memory cost buildings, but more about balancing issue, new strategy approach, and to reduce the City SPAM on the world map

I like the OP idea. Yes, Adventurer should go adventure, while Army should take over the other cities / destroy the enemy. The Adventurer should able to command an Army too. That's how we balance the RPG and CIV type strategy of this game. The Adventurer can go everywhere, even cross the enemy border without any restriction, but they can't capture a city. These people should be considered as stealth unit until other adventurer / Heroes spot them. Of course, your Soverei

Oh no!!! honestly, I wait for the sequel! Where is it? WHere's the sequel???

Oh thank you for responding my post :) Just equip your sovereign will all warrior enhancement you mod has, and you'll see that how powerful he is. I know that Elemental has lack of skills (ala AOW or Heroes Might & Magic), you can't even create a Diablo II type of hero in this game as there is no skill tree for our champion. But don't worry, we can make different approach with this 'unfinished' game. Of course, the heroes will always the same. But with the capability of eq

Well, I hope you update your mod as it has great potential but too unbalanced for now. I could destroy one faction easily with just my sovereign and several units in early game. I think that rather than empower your sovereign and champions from the beginning, you should create equipments / magics that make them able to match up against the middle / late game monsters / AI. For warrior class champion / sovereign. For the HP issue, well, the champion is indeed more powerful than early c
