[quote who="Nessin" reply="25" id="2744811"] Maybe because using too much from Master of Magic is illegal? Not that I don't think they could have taken more inspiration from the game, especially with regards to hero units, but there is a limit...[/quote] No, many games copy from other games. Just look at how many Diablo clones there are out there.
Oh man magic immunity was incredibly broken - it worked exactly like how it sounded: made the unit complete immune to damage from magic. Too bad there was another item or something (can't remember now) that could make a unit completely immune to regular damage. So of course I combine the two, and get a single hero that becomes my one-man army - destroying all the other nations without taking a single amount of damage. edit: on a side note the weakest part about MoM was the dis
I usually walk around a bit, trying to see if I can find any gold on the map to settle my first city near. I also setup my sovereign so that he can move 4 tiles a turn (and that everyone in his group moves the same speed).
This puts me at ease and has me looking forward to 1.1 - hopefully it refines the experience!

[quote who="Rune_74" reply="56" id="2742716"] My post was meant to show how funny it is so many people say they would have done this or that...when in reality it probably wouldn't go that way. I never said stop bitching....you took it that way...hahaha man, just for agreeing with a post, grow up.[/quote] I have no idea what point you're even trying to make any more - see a doctor about your short term memory loss: [quote who="Rune_74" reply="22" id="2742370"] W
[quote who="Rune_74" reply="32" id="2742484"] I do? What kind of BS statement is that? You decide what you want to spend money on and feel free to make suggestions on how to fix things...his statement was true if that burns your over sensitive self I have nothn for ya.[/quote] The only thing I'm sensitive to is the obscene number of morons overrunning the forums. I was referencing your statement - not his: you're sitting here telling us to stop bitching about somethin
[quote who="Rune_74" reply="29" id="2742458"] Heh wouted for truth, everyone is an expert:)[/quote] Including apparently you, who knows better than ourselves on what we should and shouldn't expect from things that we spend our money on.
If I could (and you had karma) I'd take it all for making such a useless post.
Good for you. I sure as hell didn't pay $50 for some tools and some XML files.
Honestly Elemental doesn't compare to MoM at this time. Maybe with a few months of support and good design changes / additions. The magic is far too bland at the moment (aside from all the other issues too).
No - read the license agreement.

[quote who="cjlindem" reply="5" id="2739785"]Cities in Master of Magic made a lot more sense. The rate of growth depended on different conditions. And the population were treated as a resource in that you could allocate them more toward farming, or toward manufacturing/production.[/quote] I agree that the Civ style of allocating the population to different jobs would be great - but implementing that would require vastly more work than my current suggestion.
Rising, do you have an art portfolio?
[quote who="charon2112" reply="1" id="2739811"]With a 4x game, there's always a way to rush win if you want...but what fun is that? I prefer a very slow build.[/quote] The point IS TO WIN - at least, I'm pretty sure the point isn't to lose.
While I acknowledge my topic being not the most critical at the moment: https://forums.elementalgame.com/393581
I just noticed I posted this in general rather than ideas, if a mod could move this that would be great.
I won't be surprised if my idea is not feasible... it would require a lot of changes to be made to the core of Elemental. Current issues: Prestige is the only thing allowing cities to grow at the moment. We already know that people can have kids (due to dynasties) so why isn't the general population doing the same? We've been told that "people" are supposed to be a valuable resource - I don't feel that at all. Population numbers
so can we actually use custom sprites? I checked out the particle editor very quickly - all I saw were tabs upon tabs upon buttons upon tabs. Didn't have the time to explore. It's too bad we can't get persistent terrain scarring. Is there anyway to have the fireshield effect remain active once cast?
Congrats icecrown - you've accomplished in 5 days what an entire art department couldn't in 2 years. PS: I love the fireball now :D
Sandbox? I can't even begin to imagine a TBS game that wouldn't be classified as "sandbox".
[quote who="KingHobbit" reply="301" id="2738937"]Their response was, "that is not possible". To this day it has never been fixed. To this day, I have never bought another one of their games. How idiotic to tell me it was impossible. They even said they would even send me some autographed thing if I could show them. Still waiting for that thing as well.[/quote] I'm actually really interested about what studio this was (so I can avoid them). PM me ?
I'm thinking I'll come back to the game once it hits version 1.1
Well I tried posting this earlier, but apparently some mod is cencoring the forums. Brief french review of Elemental
