In holidays per se: Disciples II Anthology. Tried to get Lords of the Realms (1&2) from GOG but my credit card is dead until next year (and therefore all my pending online game shopping) after some abuses (also known as complete Battlestar Galactica and the 3 seasons of Star Trek TOS).

Demisovereign A Sovereign has fallen. The Sovereign has vanished, creating an opening in the Kingdom. To fill the void, Demisovereigns from across from the Kingdom's lands must wage war against one another in a bid to ascend to true sovereignhood. The Dinasty system like you have never imagined it before! Battles to death in dungeons between the Sovereign's children until there is only one . The Elemental Machine E

[quote quoting="post"]The goal of the idea is to apply a Story oriented approach to Elemental, instead of the more classical "boardgame" approach (=you start as sovereign X, and if ever he is killed all is lost).[/quote] Sovereign death = Game Over is actually the Story oriented approach of Elemental. It's a story that starts with your Sovereign and ends with him. That some people prefer a "Saga" story type is a different story. The rest of the post is quite similar

[quote who="Grogtank" reply="43" id="2485122"]I look at it this way. If we build two games. One with excellent strategic play and tactical combat. Another with a lot of quests but no reason for doing the quests (no strategic or tactical gain), the game with the best strategic and tactical model will win hands down. I feel empire building and adventuring should support the core strategic and tactical play.[/quote] TL;DR : If it's not meaningful, core and balanced,

[quote who="Grogtank" reply="41" id="2485063"] In my interpretation of "Elemental War of Magic", wizards/mages (and champions/armies) duel constantly over both strategic maps and tactical battle maps. This is the core of the game.[/quote] I totally disagree with that. I think that most people want that and in that way it will be made but that doesn't mean I cannot disagree with such limited experience. Why not develop a pure combat simulator instead? We could say to have somethin

Hypothetically speaking of making such a mod, Kingdoms: Impulse, GamersGate,... Empires: Steam,... The Sovereigns would be the CEOs or whoever has the power there. Lord Froboy for the Impulse Kingdom. There wouldn't be Elemental Shards. They should be something like Publisher Shard, Support Shard, Infraestructure Shard... So the most powerful tactics would require a certain number of them. You could cast Ads for extra Prestige for your Kingdom/Platform, release

I can see it clearly: a mod based on digital distribution platforms. Lord Frogboy would lead The Impulse Kingdom as Sovereign, of course. And they don't cast spells but launch games and marketing ads. Instead of citizens, we have fanboys while normal users would be mercenaries.

On topic, that a Dragon could be a channeler by default, doesn't mean he would go healing the land. I don't think that imbued channelers will be able to do that neither. Or maybe I'm wrong.

While playing in windowed mode (only way I play) I have seen that the Design Unit screen seems to increment constantly the usage of memory of my computer. Whenever I click that menu option from another menu, the memory usage of the game increases. If that was not enough, whenever and each time I try to equip a traveling cloak, the memory usage increases again. Oh, and shields currently seem to be impossible to equip. No matter how much I try, the shield doesn't get equipped. And memor

Even if they weren't Channelers by themselves, you could imbue them with essence and make them Channelers.
