Welcome! I think that Stardock developing their own title instad of a sequel for MoM is (seeing what we are seeing) better. And with the moddability capabilities, MoM mods will be started as soon as modding is possible. That said, an updated MoM (as in addition to Elemental) would be sweet. Specially for it being Windows based and better screen resolution.

This is the only mod for which I have created a thread so that should give you a pointer. ;) And even then, I'd wait to it have some bones and meat before adding it anywhere. I want to make this mod (obviously) but right now it just wishful thinking and some really wonderful art from Wizards of the Coast (hmmm possible civilization?). Which reminds me that I should sharpen my pencils and try drawing something someday. WotC art as proxy is really cool but surely I'll need some custom and

In theory, I'd like that whenever you create a new unit for your civilization, it has a list of available classes for that civilization*. They are training and should work like the skills/upgrades in Civ IV. I foresee the finetuning of these skills to be a headache but at least a fun headache. I don't pretend to use all the exploits/skills of the D&D game, not for normal unit neither for heroes, but just some that I consider interesting. Heroes would have access to more variety in sk

Yeah, the combos are actually a bit weird. Blame the philosophy of the civilizations in part of it. The other part of the blame is mine due to my inability to focus those civilizations in a concrete mold yet. Tieflings as example, I suppose that for Tieflings that are awakening their devilish ancestry as a way of survival and world domination, Earth and Fire would seem better. But I'd associate Devils to Air rather than to Earth, being more of the sneaky side of things (and

Big empires have greater potential to research more than smaller ones. At least as long as they can keep people focused, avoid wastes... and still some redundance would happen, news still take some time to travel the different distances between research centres... At the same time, a small nation has a limited number of researchers, which increases chances of all of them following a wrong development idea with no other group to point that out. A bigger nation should have a sam

From all I remember, all population growth is only based on Prestige (aka people coming from the wilds to join you), which by itself seems a bad idea to me. I0d prefer that during the first X turns (where X is not 10 in roman numbers...) population is solely based on Prestige but after those turns, people coming from the wilds decreases slowly to 0. During those same turns, population can continue to increase in two other ways: Prestige affects people from nearby c

People are people. They should get skills proper to their initial training and as they gain experience, those skills should improve (and unlock new ones if he meets some requirements). Equipment should be able to be changed, veterans or not. Special equipment should be only used proficiently by more seasoned troops though. The grinding... well, if you want veteran armies, you need to grind. If along the way you get some extra cities or something like that, the better. If normal units
