[quote] Multiplayer The short version is that all the tactical battle stuff would have to be rewritten, from scratch, to have the tactical battles happen in multiplayer and that’s just not going to happen. That would be extremely expensive for us. It’s not that we don’t think there should be multiplayer. It’s just a cost/benefit ratio (not just in terms of dollars but in terms of human assets that would have to be taken from other projects

It's the same with warclub for greathammers faction trait, but also, i can't seem to buy a shortspear playing as karavox either. Wondering what the deal is here. Is this a bug or intentional? Also, im running the latest version at the time of post. edit afterthoughts: Seems like nothing anyone gets starts in the shop? Surely if its intentional it's because its considered overpowered... But surely theres a point p

Ahh. Well, then... I guess I should remove my nature magic and take the 2 armor giving accessories for 1 sovereign army. Maybe they could add a line to the code to stop this potentially griefing scenario. like, "your soverign already has that skill". It's like in dungeon crawl stone soup they added lots of catches like that and it was a better game for it.

I started with 2 points in nature magic, used steal spirit on my first champion who had nature magic, but he died and I didn't get any extra magic! Could be because lvl5 was required for the 3rd point. When I got to level 5 it wasn't there too.

Oh, no! Fear the shrills my town is doomed...? :P YOU built a town right near a dragons den then complained when he burned it down. Clear the area before you settle there. Inadvertently indeed! :)

My first play of this version was with an old custom faction and old custom hero. In this game all the medium and above quests were locked and while they said they still required heroes, ereogs journals, etc researching them didn't allow you to accept them still. My second game was with default Altar and all quests were acceptable at any time without any tech. My 3rd game was with a newly made, but identical, custom sovereign and an old versio

I'm hearing a lot of talk about "balance" here and I'm not sure it's really THAT important. Sure, if some things stand out as ridiculously overpowered they might need some tweaking. But what if you made a game that was perfectly balanced? Just have one race, one unit type, one resource, symmetrical static maps, no random elements. So well balanced! But BORING. I saw Dominions 3 mentioned before and I played the hell out of that game and it's the most unbalanced

Just on my first play of 5C now. I just alt-tabbed out to look for some help about this questing issue I seem to have had with the last 3 builds. At the moment this "Stone Ring" says "requires Heroes to go on strong quests." Well, I have heroes tech. My sovereign is level 7, the champion I picked up is level 6 too. Yet it acts as though I don't have heroes tech! I'm using both an (OLD) custom sovereign and (OLD)kingdom based on Gildar.

AI? What about just I? Multiplayer!! (with tactical battles!) The first thing I heard about War of Magic was that it was a multiplayer game. Remember those ancient previews? I mean, its turn based! Netcode for a turn based game is the EASIEST netcode to do. You guys are NOOBS! The game would be a million times more exciting with real enemies and real allies. If a tree falls in to woods and no one is there to hear it... does it still make a sound? If an enemy sovereign

I could do the early ones then any that required erogs or breons tech they remain locked. :( I saw something about quests always being available and considered it might be a missing tip that needs a certain level hero to undertake... Either way, as someone who plays the game like a party based RPG the bugs really killing my motvation to play again. Hotfix?

ummmm... how do i delete this double post? edit: Maybe I'll make use of it. :) ☻The missing leather chest piece was on an old hero with a custom "no armor" race, but shouldn't it still be in the store for champions? ☻I noticed Venom III, and probably all poisons, still applies when the enemy dodges. Wouldn't the poison not take if it didn't enter the bloodstream through a wound? ☻Enemy Ash Mage projectile came in from the left scr

It's coming along very well indeed. Just wondering, though.... Leatherworking is missing leather chest armour? I'm still very keen on multiplayer (with tactical battles) It's such a perfect game for it with simultaneous turns.

It's been a couple of patches so I found a scrap of paper and set out to play a game and note the bugs I found. I guess some are thoughts too. It's all probably not a lot of use and you'll have to sort it off into your own lists. Still, this is just 1 playthrough. Game is still buggy as. Test system = win7 64bit, 2700k, 8gig ram, 560ti Using high settings, 4xAA and 8k texture file. - At this late game point I can't progress without a crash on Save or tr

Thanks, will do. I didn't think to reason with the beast, only to throw rocks at it.

After having several games minimised, because ImpulseNow decided to hit me with advertising pop-ups, I removed it from startup via "MSCONFIG". Problem solved? NO?! Seems it reinstalls itself to startup every time you run it... Great time to find that out too, costing me my commander in supcom2. This is the behavior of malware. This has made me rage and messed up multiplayer games THREE times. Seriously, I just can't express

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows which AI difficulties cheat and which don't? Which one do you like best to play against? I want to play vs the best ai that doesn't have cheating stats. Just started on hardest and they have 270hp guys vs my 15hp ones :/ I pretty much want to play skirmish games to prepare for multiplayer. AIs are never as fun as real players. :)

Well, its not a "finished" product, as the development continues, but its pretty enjoyable as is and full of future potential. I think in the end the game will improve at a much faster rate with people playing it and making reports and suggestions than it would with equal time of internal production alone. Plus we have a game to play now rather than later, right? I didn't read the article, but I've made cheeky comments about the bill of rights to my mates so I think I get the

Its kind of hard to describe. You can tell something isn't right and the most obvious thing is you'll ride up, do a swing. Maybe there wont be any audio with it. then nothing will happen for a few seconds and you'll wonder if its your turn... then he swings. Or sometimes theres no swing at all and no sound and the enemy unit just flies back and dies. Since the only thing the mounts do is +1 to moves and combat moves and the shortsword gives +1 combat moves I think its something to do
