[quote] 1.1 is closer to an 8 IMO but it has potential to be a 12 you guys are really getting things done I love the attitude in this post. I have 100% faith in Brad, and Stardock . Edit: I've now played 3 games of 1.1 and about 30 hours since it's release. I stopped watching TV, and picked up insomnia. How could you rate the game an 8 when we still have: bugs unbal
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="32" id="2850921"] Here's my personal view. When the game came out, I thought it was an 8 out of 10. That's what you get for working 5 months at 100 hours a week. If anyone ever asks what the effects of long term overtime, point to Elemental. Because not only did I think the game was an 8 out of 10 but we had the former editors of IGN and Avault working here. <br
You basically already have the animation for these things now lets enhance our Staffs ect with some magical properties and turn them into Ranged Magic Based Attacks. Magical Staff of Firedart - Firedart INT Based dmg. Not Strength. Magical Staff of Fireball - Fireball Ect ect. Weakness? They're not as long ranged as Archers. Maybe 3 squares range? This means you need soldiers guarding them in the front. So
Pretty much exactly what the title says. :) I'd really like to be able to change the look of my soldiers. I miss 1998 Ultima Online....[e digicons]:'([/e]
Royalty is kinda lame now that CHA effects prestige. Royalty should instead add maintence decrease or something more fitting to a royal role.. I mean they can bend the rules right? Never the less good suggestion but I would like to see a lot more skills than the current one. FF Tactics/Total War had some interesting ideas. (Psst.... I want a dragoon)
1. Cities should have governing roles not gain EXP and spend points that can never be adjusted Lvl 1 20% Lvl 2 40% Lvl 3 60% Lvl 4 80% Lvl 5 100% Bonus - Roles +Tech (Science Role) +Prestige (Harmony Role) +Gildar (Merchant Role) +Arcane (Magic Role) +Defense/Attack (Military Role) Theres alot more Roles you could do Construction Role, Miner Role, Capi
I'm amazed how much 1.1 has changed I'm officially hooked on this game. Their might not be a whole lot of depth at the moment but the design and cooncept is in there and now more than ever it has me wanting "MORE" rather "FIX" which is a mighty step. Good job Stardock I think you guys just about nailed it with 1.1. [e digicons]:banhammer:[/e] Keep up the good work! You guys are doing something that might or already has changed the
Research- Caravan Reinforced : Now when caravans are attacked it will take 3 seasons for them to engage battle. You have the option to save the caravan, Caravans should also increase there usefulness if they maintain the same route or if they are veterans of trade. This will make you want to save a caravan all that much more. Other. Caravan Stallions :Increased Caravan Increased Cargo :
You guys should really mind your own bee's wax [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
Yes this game is def ready to play. Only you're going to want MORE and a lot of changes but its a ton of fun now.
The races of Men and ect... are fine its how the game shows you them is whats lacking (This goes for most games). If each race had its own group of equipment to pick from outside of the already generic we would appreciate the races far more. Put an Ironeer in heavy decorative mythril armor and make him either shorter(Dwarf)or taller(Nord)and you have yourself a unique race. Unfortuntely to do this with every race takes a ton of time... money.... and time... and money
This why he's called Frogboy. 4:34 - 4:35 about 3 times in a row.
............... WOW! Mmmmmaaaaaajjjjjjoooooorrrrrrr IMPROVEMENT I updated this game from 1.06 to 1.1 and all I can say is you've guys really done it.. I've been playing the game since download about 9:30pm yesterday until now which is 8:40am.... which is a lot more than what I thought.. I'm hooked, im addicted this game is crack and I know its only going to get better. Reason I stopped playing "crash" first crah 12... hours and
I agree that Heal spells should be a combat spell and non combat spell.
leveling system could be more advanced than just increased DMG also. You could give the wielded the option to customize his weapon... Abilities, stat increase, armor, attack, ect. This would make equipment unique and custom weapons are always fun. This would prob be an expansion idea and frogboy has talked about crafting in later expansions.
It should level. I think most weapons should level or atleast the special ones.
[quote quoting="post"]Someone who is only casually into gaming asked me what battles in Elemental will be like. I said if there was a game called Magic: Total War, then you have a pretty good idea of what the scale of battles would be. [/quote] Magic Total War would have been incredible, maybe next time :) It's unfortunate a lot of games change or lose sight of the original plan then there is always lack of funds and expertise
City Spam was/is on the list of things to be worked on.
Nice list Gazz
[quote who="Timble" reply="84" id="2818531"] Quoting Tridus, reply 81 Since the beta version isn't even out yet, I'll go with Soon®. (Seriously, people need to knock this nonsense off. It'll be done when it's done, and constant pestering about it will only serve to convince them to not give any kind of estimate in the future. ) I'm sorry for getting on your nerves , <span sty
Great custom hero abilties? Oh man please log on your WarCraft 3 Game and play some custom maps. Simple Abilities and my favorites. 1. Champion Critical Strike - %Chance + %Dmg 2. Dodge %Chance to avoid melee. 3. Ninja Dodge %Chance to dodge and on dodge you turn invisible and release a clone of yourself. 4. Invisibility duration based on level... There are soooo many c
[quote quoting="post"]I hope I'm wrong. [/quote] I think they tweaked the engine which will make 1.1+ patches that much better and with Kael working on 1.1+ im hoping things will be even better! However 1.1 in itself will and should be a major overhaul so expect BIG Changes not little ones that focus on stability like 1.0 to 1.09e had. Nothing wrong with being positive right? I mean hell the game is still being heavily worked
Hi Kael, I was wondering if you could give us a Bio on yourself because I really have no idea who you are :) I've researched a little and read the forums but for example Frogboy we all know and like. I'd like to see things like what is your specialty as a game designer? Like frogboys is AI. Also we really got to KNOW frogboy as a person and I know you're new to the team but Id re
awesome mod hows it look in tactical battles? Do a video!!! :) Youtube it! Anyway Ill definitely be getting this mod once 1.1+ comes out NICE WORK A+ man.
