I had not noticed this healing / regen mana issue. Is this true in ver 1.0x as well, or only with patches? I do agree that progeny should not always be better.. or worse.

Teleport is my soverign's most used spell. Next are the brilliance, etc on settlements. Next is the summoned bear as a companion for early exploring missions. Tactical? The hurl boulder helps... havnt tried the other ranged damage spells. (all ver 1.0x) Comment: When the mana, magic system is in better shape, modding the spells to create real choices with trade-offs will be awesome. Not uber spells, but magic with an u

green squares, or will open flat squares work?

Sounds wonderful that a new patch uis coming out. however, i still have no way to patch my CD version of EWOM. The advertising I read siad the interent was necessary ONLY for multi-human-player games. However, it seems I cannot download ANY patches UNLESS i purchase internet access at home AND then install impulse on my home computer. I don't. Need to be able to download patch to public computer (the has web access) and trsnsfer patch to thumb drive, and take por

Sarcasm? What sarcasm?

Me, too. We both have similiar problems because the player manual is so detailed and clearly explains how to play EWOM and how things work. The on-line manual is constantly updated wit each patch - so we are always dealing with a friendly user enviornment. NOT.

I posted elsewhere a response to this issue. Several suggestions: BTW I am playing ver1.0x as i can't downkload patches to ewom) 1) Actually have the soverign expend 'essence' to create / build each settlement. (the land doesnt support life, remember?) 2) Have a penality that increases with each new settlement established. BUT also: have ways to minimize (not eliminate) this penality. One key way to minimize penality is to have a

Settlements: 1) way to change name of settlement after creation (I like to note size of settlement in name "vliilage" "city" so i know how many squares i have to work with for buildings. Also conquer settlement - change name. Way too many settlements, suggest following: Increasing penality for each successive settllement created. Permenently consume some 'essence' of channler for each settlement when 'built.' and/or decreasing l

My request for patch 1.08x: Create a way for owners of the dvd version to download the patch to a shared (public) PC, so they can then transfer the patch to their thumb drive, and port it back to their non-web-accessing PC (where the CD version of elemental is installed) and patch their game. (Still stuck with ver 1.0x) (advertising said web access required for multi-human-player mode - never said web acces via impulse was required to patch dvd version

Hi Gnilbert, What you have done, so far, is truly awesome. I have played simulations, FRP, etc, for over 30 years - I'm old, i guess, anyway, SPI (Simulations Publications, Inc.) had a wonderful series of 'pre 17th century' tac games - all integrated, that sim'd combat from hoplites to agincourt. Might you incorporate facing, etc iontom your awesome combat sim? Also, fog of war, and digging in (fortifiying) for units (not indivuduals)? This would add to the mun

I have one suggestion for the tactical battle window. Find a copy of SPI's (= Simulations Publications, Inc, defunct paper game company for the 70's) prestages tactical series (Pre 17th century tactical operational level combat). They, using a very simple system, did a wonderful job of simulating battles from greek hoplites, all tha way thru agincourt. Introducing flanking, rear attacks, attackes from multiple sides - enflades, (basically, 'facing' for combat units - not ind

I ahve many thoughts about how to 'fine tune' EWOM (elemental war of magic). However, before I can intelliegently interact with themany fine comments i have read in this forum, I need to get my cd copy of ewom updated with current patches. Still playing v1.0 (very buggy = dragon never joins when egg returned, many graphic glitches, ctd, cannot load saved game unless first exiting program totally, first, advanced spell books never appear even with quests done, etc. LOL.

You are the first person to mention the archon adept game in MANY years. I loved it... but Apple \\+ s are fossils now. But we are not!

I havn't played elemental yet. Game CD due in three days. However, i have played CIV, MOM, GalCiv, etc. I'm not sure what the concerns about spamming cities is all about. Civ dealt with it by introducing increasingly expensive costs associated with ever increasing numbers of cities. Complicated, but it worked. If someone is modding Elemental aleady, this might be an approach worthooking into and exploring.

I just ordered the game on CD, should arrive in the mail in three days. OK, I don't have internet access at home - where my game PC is. I do have web access here at a shared PC. How do i go about downloading the patches to Elemental? I do have a thumb drive with 8mg ram. Oh, and when player made mods get posted - how do i get those?
