My last game was 18k points.. unfortunately it didn't save the game before that which was 14k pts. Didn't MoM have a high score list and gave teh breakdown for the points? Would be nice if we a) kept prior scores (maybe per victory type?) and b) knew what made up the score. Retirement should also give a point score other than "Janusk"
I keep forgetting to check before a new game and have run up against my own factions in the past 4 games - named after myself, my wife and kids. So far, all of which have been tweaks to the same theme - beastlord, basic air, melee with a bunch of talents (+3 atk, +1 army initiative, +2 mana, -20% magic, brilliant and something else. Various blood types. Empire, master scout, lucky, heroic for all Invariably - even without being able to adequately
doh... what happened next? Can't believe I just sat and read the whole thing. I'm still on first playthrough of vanilla after having not touched it for a long time. Probably bounce that around a bit before opening up this can of fun.

Played 3 full games and part of another. 1 died with the "can't end turn bug". Short version: Its Fun and somewhat addicting Difficulty/AI need work at least up to challenging Research/Pacing is a bit odd and could possibly be revisited Champions can be powerful, which is good. Need a heavier cost. Overall its enjoyable, even moderately short term addicting. Good improvements from ewom. &n
Thanks Derek, good to hear you're looking at it.
Getting the same issue. End turn button and clicking enter do nothing. I can save, reload and hit enter and it will advance to the next turn (which is really annoying btw). I've got all my units controlled, only have 4 or 5 out on the map. Can this happen with an AI unit? Any way to find/deal with it?
Mine was a crapshoot, had 3-4 casters in one army. If they all cast it on the same round i would either decimate the enemy or nothing would happen. If i had them stagger their rounds, same iffy chance. Seemed to fail more often than not though.
Same here... had to actually do it a couple times to have someone survive :)
As someone who has put WoM down for a long time, this thread is very very positive. I occasionally check back to see how things are going and between 1.2 coming out (not really enough to pull me back in) and FE being discussed - I like the direction things are going.
Re-visiting player as well. Definitely bummed on the essence situation. The entire allure of the game was based around the uniqueness of the concept. Hoard essence and be a demi-god, but have poor infrastructure. Spend essence to improve infrastructure and become weaker. With the idea that the expenditure of essence was a permanent strategic cost. Bummer.
Plight looks good, going to try it out... along with h since I'm running f. Played like 6 full games so far since EWOM 1.09 came out...still such a great game.
One of my favorite parts of MoM is the hero building aspect. Coddling a hero (Fang, Amazon, Ninja are my favs) till they get a couple levels and then outfitting them with every buff possible as well as an ever improving set of items. Then taking that hero and wiping the floor with the cheating AI :) Think my fav is 4W, 2B, 1G for the buffs. Played a 7W last week and while good, missed the blue buffs. Just finishing a 5Bl2G and don't really like t
Cutscenes really don't do it for me. SC2 had a few good ones, but nothing that I couldn't do without. I like metrics rather than pretty, both are even better. Major milestone cutscenes/graphics and end game metrics. I do like the end of open ended rpg's where they do the drawings/static images with the voiceover giving the decisive fallout - i.e. i saved town x, now town x is thriving. Better yet, my goody two shoes saved town x, which then went on to bec
Playing it again now with the "new" 1.4f patch. Slightly different game, although couldn't pinpoint why. I'm stuck in a grind fest right now, I'm winning. I've taken out 2, but still have two left. They were at war, now they've allied which I don't ever remember them doing which is cool. With the amount of mana they get there is crazy attrition. Its tough to keep heroes alive at all. I used to buff up fang or the other flying guy and wreak
AoW:SM 9.99 - haven't tried it out yet think i might need to
Played a 1.4f map last night. Large continent..got stuck on an island. I hate islands. I restarted 3 times and got stuck on an island. Restarted the 4th but got a food/silver resource and went with it. Kind of made the game better, didn't get bumrushed by the ai and while i couldn't get my good troops over that easily i could keep my back door undefended. Damn I still like the game. Started off slow, but picked up. Plus the emulator I us
Sigh. Hope.
FFH completely revitalized my desire to play civ for quite a while. Talk about a complete game makeover. Don't know the specific guy, but if he was really 90% behind the design of it, I'd love to see an effort to pull him in. "Here's $1k, Here's our vision, Here are our requirements, Here's what we don't want to see....give us a broad outline of a meaty mod" Great. "Here's $5k, love this, hate this, give us a base design" Great "Here's $5k
Thanks, only dl of 2.0 I've been able to find as well. Found an emulator that works well other than dosbox, just seems simpler. Aeon056, or google just aeon emulator.
I support the idea to balance the existing sov's, but personally will always use custom. As a whole I am very unsatisfied with the customization options for sovereigns as well as factions. Bland, in a word. There is currently a mod (unfortunately not updated since 1.06) that adds quite a few interesting abilities and could definitely be expanded upon - both for talents and professions. I'd like to see a balancing act upon that as well since they allow a bit mor
I kind of miss the days when you had to hunt around for a good spot. Resources were around, it was up to you to find a good spot to start. Yes, a la civ, but still a fun part...a part where decisions mattered. Too many resources IMO and still think it should cost essence to build a city...look a pioneer - with a city in a bag!
oooh, minimap...then I wouldn't have to play the game in cloth map mode constantly. Please tell me I'm stupid and just missed a setting that enables a minimap!
Read the bottom of the above post - my colorful city names are "Home_fo_go_tec" 1_Met_Fo, 2_Tec_Arc.... so I know what they need when they promote and its easier to figure out what modifying buildings to build. Colorful... or, descriptive :)
Not reading thread, disagree with OP. Plenty of resources, plenty of food. 20+ cities by turn 100 all ~3 and its just time before they get bigger since I have 30+ food surplus. I don't like the thought of merchants taking food (doesn't make a lot of sense to me), but the affects I can deal with. Slightly annoyed that monster killing is now sooo little, can see nerfing the 400+ you got from the big stacks, but 10... Throw some items in there as
