I try but as most comedians will tell you.. The funniest things in life are the things that are true!

Agreed luketan; i wonder why this is so difficult of task. Magic would have been my main focal point and now that everyone mentions it the game does feel very much like im playing with a program than a game.

The AI doesnt know how to use ships still that is why its always one GIANT land mass. This is a problem with several 4X games. Empire total war and Civ 5 even.

"It's hard to get into EWOM" and this is because of the lack of detail! They have much work to do still but it IS getting better. At least they are working on it and actively! They could be like so many other game companies that promise you the world pump the game unfinished say they are going to add promised features in upcoming patch and then you never hear from them about that particular game again. 9 months later you find them trying to sel

Wow these look great! Ill download them now!

The game just currently lacks magical content. I've read that Stardock realizes this but i just hope that they realize how important it really is! Now that the core game has been setup and the bugs are gone and the game is stable i really hope they work on the magic part. After that i would focus on more creatures differences, between races and racial abilities. Step one:Magic then things like "Why does every race look like a human but with different c

100% agree with Diardiamond and he brings up a good point. Why is mana so hard to come by in a "world of magic"?

If they did it the MOM way, where the only research is magic, maybe the constrast wouldn't be as stark?

twilight of arnor and dark avatar I thought they were fun for awhile, but without tactical combat or multiplayer of any kind the game eventually became boring to me and was replaced by games that i was allowed to play with my friends with.

[quote who="luketan" reply="11" id="2847968"] PS : For a game with the word "magic" in there, there is a very distinct "tech" favour in the game and even in the spells... [/quote] I agree with this statement 100% while having a magic on your side in the game helps having a broadsword and some plate a LOT more! I'm glad everyone agrees with me i just hope frogboy reads this post and takes it to heart. Back in beta i priv

[quote who="Sir_Linque" reply="1" id="2847225"] I want all the same things as you do. Except for the vampires and zombies and skeletons, that's not a necessity. [/quote] I just like zombies =(

I recognize there are several posts about this topic but i feel i need to put in my two cents as a extremely experienced gamer. This game is about magic and while the battle system is still great i just don't see the magic. Sure the magic in the game is powerful but is it magical? When i create a magic farm why cant i see a magical farm on the strat map? Where are the magical roads? What is the purpose of reviving the land, so it

Cant wait for release!!!

Booo! I wanted to report this one!

You guys still up frogboy?

I have to agree, without tactical battles for my friends and I multiplayer will just not be played and it will be difficult for me to talk other guild mates into buying/playing the game as well. PLEASE!!! Leave tactical battles in multiplayer if people don't want it in their games just have an option to turn it on or off.

Wow, your up late!

Alright man, you can post all you want. I'm not interested in starting a flame war. I'm sorry if I came off as harsh.

[quote who="lwarmonger" reply="68" id="2681252"] Um, no? He's got a very valid concern, that has been shared by a majority of the active community members here. Originally it seemed like they would do so much more with essence than they eventually decided to. Right now essence seems pretty shallow, and a lot of the stats are tied to a single thing, which also seems shallow. These are legitimate concerns for people who want to make the game as good as it can be.[/q

I think frogboy shot down our hopes and dreams with his most recent post.. https://forums.elementalgame.com/387586

Here is a post that was started a few days ago and has been very active. https://forums.elementalgame.com/387454 Though i think Frogboy shot down all our hopes and dreams for essence to be anything more than mana in his most recent journal entry. Which is located here. It helps to look around a bit before you post. <a href="https://forums.elementalgam

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="2680718"]I love modding but I'm not convinced they can move units. We'll see. Essence = mana cap. Nothing more or less.[/quote] This statement frightens me. As I've said in my previous post https://forums.elementalgame.com/387454 i and several others seem a bit concerned on the state of essence. We don't know what you have working in the ba

I cant wait for beta 3B. I truly hope essence has been reworked and i cant wait for tac battles.

actually at the moment it is a 1 to 1 ratio... give it a shot =)

That would be cool actually. Having the ability to siphon/leach the life essence out of a creature/object. There could be a whole race designed just for that purpose...harvesting essence.
