[quote who="Tormy-" reply="36" id="2407155"] Quoting Denryu, reply 35 I tried doing a survey monkey on it and it won't let me give as many choices as are proposed in this thread. So we need to whittle the options down to maybe 8 or 10 choices. (if you really want a survey) I've created a poll. 20 possible choices. http://www.snappoll.com/poll/311415.php Note: It looks like that the description text was a bit too lon
Here is a survey for October. The deadline will be midnight PST on October 15th, and results will be posted on Friday the 16th. Only the first 100 survey-takers will be recorded. Enjoy! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=uXqjwLdIxOsdntrl7SYcEw_3d_3d

As things currently stand, units don't even have strengths and weaknesses to given elements - so while I personally like the ideas being presented, I am not seeing how it would be implemented. Units only have attack and defense, hit points and movement speed. With such limited stats, how do you make a unit resistant to fire?
I think the reason they don't just settle this and make it an option is because it is not like a victory condition option which can pretty much be handled by if this option is enabled go to this bit of code and if disabled don't do this bit of code. It seems to be a very central part of the game design, and (my opinion) it seems like it would take major (read: almost programming two separate games) to provide both options. There has to be a way to lose the game and it appears that in
I was thinking about putting it in a survey - haven't done a survey in a long time.
Actually the Civ games and others do have "pollution" or after nuclear weapons/power plants there is even radiation that needs to be cleaned up. While I would not mind if pollution was included in this game, keep in mind we are dealing with pretty small populations - starting out with villages of under a hundred people and growing to a point where we have armies in the few thousands (and I would guess cities of a few thousand population will be pretty large). So really it would take q

[quote who="Megajames75" reply="17" id="2402940"]Tomb of Understanding [/quote] I think you mean "Tome". A tomb is for putting dead people in. [e digicons]x_x[/e] They could also call it something like "The accumulated knowledge of " and I would liek to see tabs within it for bestiary, spellbook, tech research, etc. And stuff is added as you ecounter it in the game.

What fear based spells? The ones that you have made up in your head? Even if there are fear based spells, I think it would be consistent for the sovereign to be immune to them. I can see why you want rez spells etc for the sovereign you are seeing the sovereign TOO MUCH as "just another (albeit powerful) unit. Could you imagine Sauron or Gandalf piddling themselves and running away under the influence of a fear spell? If they ever did retreat it would be a rational, decison, not one based on
[quote who="Tormy-" reply="181" id="2402711"] Quoting Denryu, reply 178 My point is it should be a player decision of whether to flee or not. Routing as it is implemented in games means the unit loses morale and splits. Since I am the sovereign, I think it would be lame for him to rout without me giving the order. Do we have something like "morale" in the game at all? [I hope so of course...] Either way, if we have a morale system, the Sovere

You could have called it the force, but then lightsabers for sovereign's would have been an absolute necessity.
win! I was thinking someone should start a thread for suggestions alternatives to the womeaht unwieldy "elementalpedia". I like your suggestion. I hope others come up with more ideas for the thread.
I wouldn't base too much off that screen shot - that has been around for at least a year.
OK routing of armies - even HEROES I can live with - but I AM THE SOVEREIGN and if there is anything that causes him to route I will be extremely put out! [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]
Here ya go, this was back in March but I haven't heard anything to lead me to believe it has changed significantly. https://forums.elementalgame.com/342047 Frogboy talks about battles in late game that could involve THOUSANDS of units and yes you can zoom in and see each one! That should satisfy you! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
Now that I understand what you are asking for better, I can tell you that Frogboy has talked about tactical battles with hundreds of units involved.

They have been working for over two years on various pieces of this game - you think they are going to start over at this point? do you really think they should? Sorry I think it is laughable (sorry!) to even suggest that. Could anyone write two or three paragrapghs of ideas that would get a company to literally throw hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of development in the crapper? Not to belittle your admirable goals and ideas, but the suggestion to go back to square one
