I don't know that I agree that essence = magic, when I say that I mean I don't know that that is strictly true according to the lore. Essence seems more like the life force of the channeler himself. Something separate from magic or it could simply be replaced by mana. The anti-magic powers are magic. No glossing over that. But unless there's some other was to destroy magical constructs I don't see how they could do without it. [Quote]Over a hundred years ago, the world o

I adressed that. Essence is not considered magic by the people. It's not wrong by their philosohpy either because it's not controlling or abusing the maigc of the earth. Instead it is considered to be the spiritual power of you the channeler/prophet.

Personaly, I like there beeing a tech tree for metals and different tech trees for different types of gear. Then, if you have both say Bronze and Short Swords, you can make Bronze Short Swords.

You're assuming that being a 'god' in this game means omnipotence which is not true in many mythologies...

But wouldn't it be awesome if you really WERE turned into a god and you had near infinite mana, essence, and casting ability. And people would be forced to surrender unless there was some weakness. Like if your avatar was destroyed all your power would be lost and we could see an UBER epic battle as every othe empire bands together in a near futile attempt to take you down. Like in LotR when the allince of elves and men went up against sauron and won. I think it would be cooler that way.

They couldn't use magic true. But there are other ways to balance this. Their soldiers are stronger and they cna make more of them because the population supports the war. They can develop powerful counter magic to protect themselves from enemy magic or destroy enemy benificial magic. And they develop strong mundane technologies to help offset not having magic.

[quote who="MindALot" reply="4" id="2273360"]I think an 'evil emperor' would make for an interesting faction. Basically - the people of the faction are completely against magic, and the channeler preaches against magic. However, the channeler is con-person, and uses magic frequently. However, to keep the people enraged against the 'other evil magic users', all spells used by the channeler are limited to those that cannot be witnessed by his/her own people / traced back to th

[quote who="landisaurus" reply="3" id="2273359"]I know I thought of this kind of thing, more from scoutdog's angle. (almost no magic) Logically speaking, if a group feared and hated magic, they would not use counter magic. The idea of "fighting fire with fire" just does not work to a group that has a deep hatred of fire. They would accept the bare minimum from their channeler, treating it is a "nessicary evil" and lash out with prejudice against anything el

[quote who="drugfreeboy" reply="5" id="2273083"]I play tb a ton, don't be under the impression that your auto attack sucks just b/c you are a 'caster'. You can often do more dps per second in the early game by just auto attacking than using fire ball. Fireball is just great for its range. Lets you harass from far away.

It's not true that the magic angle is 'completely' removed. You still use counter magic and you have people that get 'natural' magical abilities kinda like your channeler. n addition, if you don't want to play a faction with the restriction (and many won't) then there will be plenty of other factions to play.

Ok. So continuing from my previous I'd like to give an example of a faction as I envision it. This is a faction that given the backstory I think just must be included in the game. Since the world was destroyed by a cataclysm caused by magic users trying to harness magic for their own advantage there should be a faction based on the ideal that magic is evil. Or at least using magic is evil. Essence is considered to be different, not so much magic as a sort of spiritual force from the channeler

Reply to More than one Day battle. in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Also. battler have a better liklihood of lasting multiple days because of the magical nature of the game. Spells might be used as delaying tactics to prolong a battle. Or to keep healing and rallying soldiers. Also magical type creatures might have supernatural stamina and resilience. Like a dragon might take days of battle before finally all those little pinpricks actually take their toll.
