I haven't personally attacked anyone, you guys need to go back and do some rephrasing. My thread has been hijacked, can I get some mods to clean this stuff up?

This thread is turning into personal attacks. What has happened to this community?

Please retract your comments Rune_74, as to not have this thread locked for your flaming.

With consistent feedback like this, I can easily see why Elemental failed the first time. There is far too much 'accepting' what the game currently is, without really understanding just how clearly flawed it still is and always has been. With the new Fallen Enchantress expansion, I had high hopes the people who have learned from the previous Beta. So far, I'm seeing people being very overly forgiving of the game in its current, quite frankly - bland and meaningless state. I've

[quote who="seanw3" reply="3" id="3072134"] - You seem to be totally missing the game mechanic that allows us to upgrade regular soldiers. It's broken right now, so I can see why you might not have included it in your analysis. As a user of GalCiv2:TA, I can say with certainty that upgrading units will do pretty much everything you described in the section about armies getting an equip function. [/quote] Your assumptions are incorrect. I'm

2.Making regular units more useful. 3.Improve/Refine magic system. 13.Improve/Refine City development.

I just put something together like this, how about amending your comments and suggestions to this thread ?

What is " Too Complicated " for me is having to build an entire city just to build army units, that's way too much work and way too much management to get the desired outcome: Armies. The idea of building Forts, aka-Mini Cities, will dramatically reduce the need to build so many cities, will require far less building and management, and in the end will reduce the game's over world load on the memory because there are far less structures to render out. Ultimately, it fee

Before we begin , the excuse: "If you don't like the Research Tree, just mod your game to have all of this research done. There, problem solved. " Is not an acceptable response to this thread, as we are discussing the final product which will be sold and introduced to a public. 9 out of 10 players will not mod or adjust Elemental via its XML sheets, this shouldn't be d

Simple bug, every time I press GOVERN , my the game's Memory Usage jumps up about 3k permanently unless it eventually crashes when my memory is taxed to the limit.

I'm impressed with the community feedback that StarDock has been getting these past 10 days, and I'd very much love to see more. Despite is many, many, many flaws - Fallen Enchantress is proving that StarDock is going in the right direction towards improving Elemental. Yet the question I have to ask is this, just how far are they willing to go to make a strong product? Will StarDock just accept the lowest common

So far, from what I conclude is that ever since Beta has opened up - many of the old WoM players have returned and have become much more critical of the product. This is a good thing, and I feel more people should do the same. Many of us are taking the time to provide very deep and detailed posts, and I feel that everything we share should really be addressed. What discourages me is that the current build of FE is 0.77, yet I feel it should be: 0.077. Though this game has been

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="25" id="3070979"] What it comes down to is that what type of game you want to play. It is impossible to call Elemental a strategy game with Air Walk as is. You just teleport around with one big stack murdering disadvantaged AIs and farming monsters, never having to worry about coming under attack or planning ahead at all. That may be fun but it's not strategy. Strategy games are all about having to move over terrain and planing ahead to counter

I feel the Warfare Tech Tree needs to be removed fully unlocked from the beginning, the rest can stay for all I care. Though it'd be nice to have more indepth Magical development so I can actually pick or build my own spells.

I use Large Maps, Cloud Walk was pretty much my primary mode of transport. This is bad for quite a few reason, but also there is a reason for it. Currently the Warfare/Army system isn't working very well, so right now most players just use one primary army. When your empire becomes large, you use Cloud Walk to navigate the one army everywhere as needed. My hope is, once they actually add a real army system that works </span

I don't think Champs should be gods, and this really turns me off. Champs really should be important for the moral and benefit of a larger army. But then again I'm thinking about strategy games that are far better than this game. I think the only ways champs can be worthwhile is if the entire Tactical Battles system is completely and utterly redesigned from the ground up. So far it was always something of a back-seat to the world building portion of Elemental. Now that the World Build

This is Sarcasm right? Because Warhammer Fantasy Battles Table Top is just a battle system, period.

Refer to my other mile long posts throughout the forum or check my post history.

After War of Magic, and devoting my trust into Brad and the Star Dock team to produce a fun game -- and after doing the same with Gas Powered's under-thought-out Demigod, I've become very critical. War of Magic didn't turn out as good as it was promised, heck it wasn't even remotely near what it was and still isn't . So I'm going to be a tough customer to please at this point, but you know what I want to be that person. I'm not walking in here expec

Mage Dominates late game with the use of only four spells. What is a waste is that the game has so many useless spells. That is what's badly designed, the whole magic system doesn't quite exactly work with the current numbers. Tactical Battles are too fast, too small, too underwhelming. When I think Tactical Battles, I think Warhammer Table Top. Seriously, the developers of this game need to just sit back and spend about two week

Okay let me clarify a bit on my Forward Base idea. 1. Will replace Outposts. 2. Not built by Pioneers, but instead built by your Sov or Champions at the cost of an Army unit. 3. Forward Bases can be built anywhere regardless of terrain type. 4. Forward Bases specialize in production of Army Units , replacing cities for this task. 5. Forward Bases can have additions built onto them, but always remain very

You know, this post got me thinking about a couple of things that may make the game a lot more fun and interesting - at least to me. Because I have to agree, by the time the game gets into mid-to-late game everything is all rinse and repeat and I don't think there is any amount of fine tuning and code tweaking that can fix the problem. The issue persisted with the original War of Magic game, and I fear it will continue to persist onward as a visible flaw in the game's overall design.

Just got done with my first game run through of FE. Since the enemy empires were absolutely no match for my Mage + Tank/Mage Champ combo, I decided to take them against Epic Quest monsters. Even so, the only one that gave me moderate difficulty was the final boss. I he was only moderate because he had a lot of weak dragons in the back I had to sweep away first before I could storm him to death. After two sweeps, all the dragons were dead and I just ran around on Wargs spammin

This is my entire combat strat, no matter who or what I fight I always do this: First, entire armor is on Wargs and all have Compass and/or +1 Move Boots / Master Scouts. Second, my Sov is a Air/Death mage. I only cast three spells: Haste, Berserk, and Storm. Never need anything else. Haste my Sov, Berserk my Warrior/Tank Mage. Send in Warrior/Tank Mage on a Warg into middle of enemies. Sweep, about 90% of entire armor is dead in one blow and roughly 4 mana. Sov

My main tank/mage champion who serves at my lord's meat-shield is often sent into battle to sweep. I noticed however that when I added a Warg to her, the game hung about 30 seconds after each sweep. Currently, I always Beserk her and send her in. She is also using the Druss Blade, which like a 1920g Red sword which ignores 66% of victim's defense. Can we say instan-kill? We sure can. Still, the game hangs oddly after each Sweep, check it out.
