Damn, I knew that... The things we forget to do. Thanks man!
Haven't gone too deeply into a game yet, but here's some tidbits I have so far: 1. Those 'crowns' in the end of battle summary, what are they? I used to think they were experience, but they're not. The sov always gets 50, the others tend to get 0, though I've seen summoned units get 40. Units will get 0 and still level up afterwards, so those crowns aren't exp. If the crowns aren't needed, maybe they should be ditched and actual exp gained should be shown
I'm getting the invalid call error, and I can't find any memory dumps to post. I'm running Windows 7, and I understand they're *supposed* to be at " C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic", but I have no ProgramData folder on my C root drive. I have Elemental installed to my D drive, if that makes a difference, but I've been through the install directory and can't find any dumps or programdata folder there either. I reloaded my system t
Let's not forget the obvious ai weakness in tactical where the enemy simply bee-lines towards your weakest unit, running past every other unit in the process.
(Is this the forum now for feedback from the game since the Beta is gone?) I've only started a game and played about 20 or so turns, but here's a small bit of feedback right off the bat. It looks hell'a good. What a difference from Beta 4. I can't wait to finish this post and dig in. On to the feedback... 1. When I enter a city production screen, the view defaults to a zoomed-in overhead view. I'd like the view to default to however I had i
Well I didn't see the updates about it being released on Sunday. Last I read it was Monday, so I'm happy :) This did screw me up though, because I was gonna be on here in 10 minutes posting "Ok, it's Monday now, so where's the gold?" Dammit... TY, Stardock!
I wonder if any of the assets included will be sci-fi, or if they will all be fantasy-based?
I'd love to see a horror-themed mod; maybe something set in Ravenloft, or based on Lovecraft's Cthulu or the Wamphyri from Brian Lumley.
[quote who="Storm" reply="23" id="2719385"] ...kids today don't know what their missing from classic RPGs and table top mini games like Battletech. Today it's all card games or 8-10 hour video games. Even the video games today have so little creativity and imagination anymore. Thank GOD for Stardock because Elemental appears to be exactly what I have been missing for years now in a PC game.

I can't seem to use either editor. If I go into tile editor it comes up with a black screen. In map editor, after I set the map settings and click 'create map', it freezes. I can see the options in the upper left corner, but I can't click anything. In both cases, the task manager shows the game as 'not responding'. Dxdiag: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8631661/DxDiag.txt
cool, thanks man!
I'm just curious as to how the rivers are coming along? I understand the team was having an internal issues with getting them to work & look right. I haven't seen any in any of the later Betas, nor have I seen any recent mention of them in the beta forums/dev journals etc, so I'm wondering if they were fixed in time for release, or if we should expect to see them in a future update or expansion. Thanks!
i hope they do it the way it was implemented in MoM as opposed to AoWSM. In AoW, while the forge was fun, all you could do was make minor items with up to three effects, from the same pool of abilities as every other wizard. In MoM, you could also make artifacts, and the effects you could use were dependent on the spells you had researched.
^ I agree, I'd rather see those resources in the build screen of whatever city they're tied to.
We're gonna have to kick his ass in multiplayer for this... [e digicons]}:)[/e]
Nah, it wasn't a minor faction, unless they have Sovs too. I defeated the Sov a few turns before, and he escaped to the city. I ended up fighting the Sov again, his spouse, and 1 or 2 starter combat units. I forget what faction it was, but they didn't do squat during the game. The Sov just stood there right above the city turn after turn. Edit - Forgot I had a savegame at the start. The leader's name is Yoren, from the faction Val'Diri - whoever that
Spell Books - the ones that give you bonus arcane knowledge points - may need to be looked again. I think it would be better if those books actually contained some random spell, with the percentage chance of finding a given spell being higher the cheaper & more common a spell is. Currently, if I find a book, I basically get to decide what spell it has in it. It'd be better if it contained some random spell, with the chance of finding any given spell being higher t
[quote] So if you cast "fertilification" on your farm, a green area covers it and surrounding tiles and you get a +20% bonus on food production. This would be less overpowered and you could justify spending ordinary mana on this rather than essence, as its only a small bonus.[/quote] Agree with all the ideas in the replies above. I'd change the mana use for the above effect with some temporary essence loss. I agree with VR_Ironmana that things like creating a fertile lands

[quote who="Wylaryzel" reply="10" id="2704676"] 4. Faction leader - The soverigns in EWOM Beta 4 compare well to the Wizard faction leaders in MOM, Both can use magic at the start and can learn new magic as the game goes on. Both can use equipment - although the Wizard's in MOM primarily used magic equipment vs the soverigns in EWOM Beta 4's primary use is of regular weapons and armer with a few magic rings thrown in. Because of game mechanics the EWOM Beta 4 soverign has a much more act
^^ Of course man, no need to even ask. Heck, some of those aren't mine at all; I know I saw the bit about champs spawning in inns in the threads before. Anyway I really hope somebody implements a Bard's Tale or a D&D 'Gold Box' game style menu for inn options, as sort of a homage. That would be cool to see.
Iirc the caravan was killed by a lone bear. I'll try to get a savefile the next time it happens.
[quote who="Thiryn" reply="1" id="2701599"]Having Inn's have their own screen, like the item shop in which you could choose quests and hear rumours (as well as rest) would be cool. [/quote] How about a screen like they had in those old school rpg games like Bard's Tale? You could rent a room for the night (spend gildar and the sov stays for 1 turn, heals all hp and mana/essence), listen to rumors, check for available jobs, and maybe even do some shopping.&
