Like Fistalis said, a lot of this was in the earlier version of Elemental. In fact, I think it's about 1.08 that the city accepted more than one type of building. This was made to prevent building a lot of city with no real difference because each city that you made were nearly as identical as the old one. Now, you can choose where to put your focus. There is no real way to prevent city spam UNLESS you limit the total tile your Empire/kingdom can have. I reply this to the Idea section: if you

I think this will be in the "customizaion" section. Modifying the size/bonus of school and university https://forums.elementalgame.com/403674

Hi there, I was wondering if the school should only take 1 tile and have a 10% bonus and the university take one tile and have a 20% bonus. What's bring me to this conclusion is: if you want your school to have a meaning you must at least have 16 reasearch building in your town to make it worth it (25% for 4 tile. Il you replace your school, you can add 4 building that produce reasearch point. 4/0.25 = 16) wich is a LOT of building and a lot of space (4 tile on a maximum of 50 meaning 8% spac

Well, if you want some "city spam/one great city" style of play, I think the ultimate things to do is remove the tile limit per city but add a global tile limit. For instance, let's say that you can have a total of 250 tile. You can build a gigantic city with the 250 tile but wont expand the ZOI, have 5 city with 50 tile (what we have now) or maybe 10 city with 25. You see the point ;). I think for this kind of viable strategy their must be a global limit, since you have a limit on the city t

Well if we talk about good game with deep character, for myself, I really like the Ar tonelico game. I think it's pretty original and the gameplay is refreshing. Diving into someone to gain his trust is simply brilliant. Really love it.

Well, another idea should be randomness in the tech/spell like MOO3 or Sword of the star. I know, it's not what everyone call goods games, but nevertheless (even if in MOO3 I would really like to have access to all of the tech because my main focus is tech/city management) it force some change in the gameplay. You want some other tech: fine, do alliance or make research treaty with other that have some of the tech that you would want. This could also work if you have the only tech that

[quote who="Victor5" reply="208" id="2861871"]Well the game is called "Elemental", correct? Well technically speaking (and this is a "technical" game right?), shouldn't we have elemental shards for EVERY element on the periodic table? I cannot believe this was overlooked for so long, and we're already at 1.1. COME ON, BRAD!! I realize it's a lot of elements (117 currently IIRC) so it might be a lot of work, but we really should

Well, a little late to reply but when talking about caravan, I have some suggestion to the "guardian" idea: you can have an enchantment on the road itself that make some invisible "wall" or you can summon a guardian unit with the caravan like the guardian ward with your city. It should grow with the level of the route instead of the level of the city, or maybe (CityA level + CityB level)/2, something along those line. For the dynasty thing, I dont "really" care about my sov because I merely k

Well, the advantage of working in a gaming studio is when the game is done, you're paid to play it ;)

Well, there is something that I don't really undestand here, I didn't play Civ 5 but I have all the other. I read a lot about how "screwed" the game is, but how can you "fact" that a game is flawed? I can understand opinion, everyone will love or hate a game and hater's gonna hate but on what base could you actually fact that a game is bad? I'm more of a scientist so I care a lot about fact and in my humble little book, if you must blame someone for a bad game, you should at least tell on wha

Welcome Dave, I don't know you but from what the other said and the article, you seems really qualify to bring some "magic" into the realm so I can't wait to see that integration and be transport into the confine of the universe of Elemental :) (to the infinity and beyond :P).

Well, why dont we use "distance" instead of square and hexe? A perimeter around your character should delimited your zone of mouvement, or use a number of "footstep" to go around if you dont want to go linear. I dont know if I'm clear to you because in my head it's perfectly clear ;)

Most importantly, they have a special power name "power drink" that enhance their performance for a brief time, then go to sleep. Can also use the raid bull as a trademark and make money out of it.

Well, for a turtler like me, you could include more defense base building. Also, I saw a number of time that some tech should be cross related in different path to unlock, that can be cool. I keep in mind that v 1.2 and 1.3 will be kind of "small" patch compare to the Fallen enchantress and the other expansion.
