[quote who="Cruxador" reply="7" id="2803633"] quoting post The Design: v1.1 technology tree has a cavalry sub-tree now. The design calls for the new technologies to give new abilities to your existing cavalry units such as “Charge” and “Evade” (to evade arrows). YES! Producing: v1.1 engine doesn’t support adding abilities to existing units. Alternative proposal: Those techs provide new types of mounts: (e.g. W
I think the patch broke it, last time i saw one was 1.08.
[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="11" id="2800229"]I feel the beat for 1.1 should be an option for all current owners of a license to run 1.09 (or 1.09E). However, I think the SD team should also give us some guidence, at various points, about what they wish us to test, how to report it, etc. I have no problem with the design team saying to me. Set up the game this way, with test this set of options, check on these things. [/quote] &
They should make it open to everyone via impulse, i believe everyone who brought the game so far has more or less been beta testing all this time anyway. Alouth i've been here since beta 3 I think everyone deserves a chance to playtest and have their say on 1.1.
I would like to say thanks to everyone involved in this mod, i've been watching it for a while and you have all done a great job and i hope everyone who D/Ls spares a few minutes to post a thank you and let you know your efforts are appreatated.

[quote quoting="post"]I finished reading the Elemental novel today, and I thought it was pretty good. Had a hard time starting it, but once I did, I really got into it. Few questions. Who exactly was Mirdoth? Dread lord turned good, like the opposite of Talax, an Arnor turned bad? Or was he someone more specific from the past and what exactly is the deal with him and the King? What are the Iru, are they in the game at all, are they Wraiths?
[quote who="cpl_rk" reply="37" id="2794988"] Quoting Sethai, reply 33 i personally don't think that "it makes the ai competetive" is a good reason for allowing a unit that i also believe to be overpowered to remain so. players could just as easily abuse this themselves. I feel whatever it takes within reason to create a challenging AI is justified. This is a significanlty better unit than the ho
[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="7" id="2794970"] Quoting Alstein, reply 4 i think 1.10 is supposed to be end of October. Oh, really? It was originally slated for September. I didn't realize it had been pushed back so far. [/quote] Yeah it got updated to October, if i had to guess i would say it will be around the 28th.
Back on topic, yes the group catapults are OP and don't make sense. I'm currently doing a massive map with about 8 factions left out of 20 around turn 450. AI has mostly resorted to mainly using mega catapults since they have 100 attack and 525-950 health. They never ever miss and have long range so heroes are goners if they come up against them. First off catapults shouldnt have that much health or take that long to kill, and why doesnt my fire spells do
You my friend kick ass!!! Great wok!
Yeah i got the same thing, had a creature hero with my sov's looks called "Prince of Silver Drake" (Custom Faction). Not sure how this is being caused but hopefully the dev's already know about it.

I've been playing Syndicate wars & Elven Legacy Collection while Elemental gets sorted out, i highly recommend both.
First one was classic imo, second one was cool but didnt seem as gripping to me.

Content, content, content, I saw everything the game had to offer by my second play through. More monsters, interaction, quests everything. I am really hoping 1.1 offers something new other then rebalancing and a new magic system. Its pretty bare bones and soul less at times which is why alot of people are bored. The techtree is always the same and you can max it in no time so even if you wanted to try a different way to play its not going to be much different from the last time you did.
Most of these features need a slider Monster spawn Resources Heroes Hostile heroes Think Civ 2, almost everything was adjustable so the worlds were how we wanted them to be.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="2778171"]The bulk of the AI work is going to be in v1.1. It's almost impossible to make it produce a cohesive strategy given how easy it is for the human player to summon tons of units. It's an O(N^3) issue. Basically, it boils down to the need for a game AI to be able to have N strategies. In a typical game, say GalCiv II or Civ IV, you'd have the AI have several different general strategies (rush, boom, turtle, etc.). Bu
Well, i highly doubt that either 1.1 in Oct or the free expansion in Nov/Dec won't lure you back. Especialy since you already spent good money on it and you now own it for life. Just play some other games in the mean time and we will see you then.
Hey does this work with fridays update? Great work by the way Icecrown.
Weird, had one yesterday and i've not had one since the beta.
