Sounds like the game I had hoped the current Elemental games would be. The current units and factions never felt really much different than one another to me, that was my favorite part of MoM and what made it fun to replay for so long, using different races and different magics.
Awesome game, very addicting. I stopped playing Fallen Enchantress because every faction seemed to play the same and made replaying boring. This game has tons of factions and most are very different from each other. Very high learning curve but well worth the time investment with long-term support from the developers. They added factions to Dominions 3 years after the game came out and their latest patch was a few months ago.
If you've pre-ordered it, you can have access to the beta which came out today.

I just wish the Toys for Bob folks would try kickstarting a new game along somewhat similar lines. I wonder what people would think of a Stardo
[quote who="StevenAus" reply="4" id="3383176"] I think when the Ascian event triggers, and you accept it, Ascian spawns somewhere on the map either at acceptance or once you get the Amethyst Collar. In my recent game, she spawned right next to my town. Luckily she did not attack it before I could get back with the Collar. But I think she can spawn anywhere on the map.[/quote] The one time I found Ascian she also spawned right next to my city and
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="24" id="3381136"] Just some small things like being able to copy-paste orders would help.

Dominions 4!!!! I just got a hard-on. I see they also have a new patch for Dominions 3. Great news! Now I'm just waiting for someone to acquire the Master of Magic license from Atari now that they are going through bankruptcy. Edit: Looks like it's already available for pre-orders. $30, half of what Dominions 3 was going for.
The micro-transactions were mentioned in the comments section of the Kickstarter.
I have a boxed copy of all the Ultima's and was excited about the new game at first. After further reading, I found out it will be full of micro-transactions and that it's only the first of 5 chapters and all the crap companies like EA put in games to milk you for more money. I wanted a single-player game and this is supposedly a mix of single-player and multi-player and I expect the multi-player to get the most focus because that is where they'll make their money on m
Congratulations on hitting your goal so fast! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
To get back on topic, this game reminds me a lot of Genghis Khan II by Koei, one of my favorite games of all time. In that game, you had to fight off the other warlords and become the leader of Mongolia before you could move on to attack the rest of Europe and Asia. At the Gates looks like it has a similar theme. Wonder if those older Koei game have any influence on this one? I'm going to follow the development and will definitely give my $25 sometime this week.&nb
Sounds pretty good to me, all positive steps that make the game better. I was looking for some more faction differentiation though. (I was spoiled by Master of Magic) PS: The shadow world creatures should gain a foothold into this realm and become a faction
Lol, this one has been around for the last few beta's
This cheat still exists in .992
I posted about this same issue a few beta's ago
[quote who="StevenAus" reply="1" id="3249874"]Big bug![/quote] Yeah, at level 1 I can probably beat anything without a long range attack using my bow, just might take me a while to kill them.
I posted this about a month ago but it was within another thread and was likely missed, here it is again: See that shadow warg near top left, I summoned it off the battle grid. It was the weakest creature in my army so all the enemies want to kill it but can't reach it and I can'
As I posted in the following thread (in the wrong section), the AI was able to cast multiple shrinks on my champion. https://forums.elementalgame.com/433313 It was actually pretty cool seeing my champion become so small but seemed like a bug to me.
Yup, they need to fix spell stacking again
Looks like a spell stacking bug was reintroduced with the latest patch. I bet I could become big as a dragon with enough growth potions, I want to go test it out!
The redness might have something to do with that club being jabbed in there! [e digicons]8C[/e]
Darkling Shaman cast shrink multiple times on my champion, look how small she is! Attack is down to 1 and defense is 0:
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="3244446"]Good catch![/quote] Gimme karma!
Looks like they're fixing this and I can't rip off the AI anymore.
The diplomat sovereign ability allows you to rip off other sovereigns. Given enough time, I can trade for all of another sovereigns trade-able goods. It has to do with the other sovereign valuing my influence more than his is valued. If the other sovereign has a small enough amount, the value of mine more than doubles his and I can add other of his goods to make it an equal trade (see picture). This is on insane difficulty: <p
