[quote who="red1939" reply="59" id="2473077"]1. Attributes: 1.4. Charisma should determine the 'quality' of his offspring, not the diplomacy, as diplomacy is basically useless in the multiplayer. [/quote] I agree that charisma should effect the quality of your offspring, so that it will bring at least "something" to the table on multiplayer. However I think bonuses to diplomacy are a welcome addition to the attribu
yea, fertility makes more sense. At least in the realm of makin babies. The previous fertility stat, mentioning farming, could be chanced to Farmer trait ... or something
yea ... but V was only 4 episodes!!!! Grah!!!!
I personally prefer the system of a bellcurve (say 3d6) system for each individual warrior. Given your example of 1000 swordsmen vs 1000 swordsmen. Sure one would "think" that the randomness is completely gone, and that the same amount of damage is delivered. However what actually happens is that some individuals get quickly slaughtered, other individuals are barely scathed yet killed many opponents, and others are injured and injured a few opponents. one example of how it would be distribute
yea, percentages would be best (on the safe side) when concerning Sovereign attack, defense, ect. However, if stats are kept to a low-ish number, its doubtful 10% will be equal to or greater than 1 for half of the game, so maybe +1 would actually be stronger than +10%, except for HP.
Oooh, especially if the barbarians could be of a subspecies .... lizardmen for example :) the only downside of having the barbarians being subspecies, hybrids, or pure fantasy, is that you would need alot more character models, and possibly armor for them ... talking about yikes!!! for anything other than post-game modding. Still, I would like for these barbarians, probably human, to have their own unique culture, separate from any of the playable factions. Perhaps allowing th
and researching enhanced breeding techniques could give you better breeds of horses. Maybe breeding the swift Plains horse with the Massive desert Stallion could give you a powerful hybrid warhorse of size and speed. And perhaps you would breed the swift plains horse with the stocky (yet small) mountain horse to get a very agile and small horse, who is sturdy and swift, sure of his feet, and is best at fighting in tough terrain such as forests and jungles (compared to other ho
yea ... I also think you should be able to use Said Domesticated Insects as MOUNTS!! (If your animal husbandry skill is high enough) Personally think I would like to use a pack of Wyvern as mounts as well. Consider them Smaller, Unintelligent versions of dragons which can be domesticated. (also they only have legs and wings per lore, as opposed to 4 legs and wings like dragons do) ... of course, both Wyvern's and Bugs have the possibility of being equal in terms of game
Well, I say lets try to make the various "types" of spells (aka the elements) as different as possible with only one type of damage first, and then if need be we can add damage types. In short, I think we will get better over-all spells if we, at least temporarily, have only one type of magical damage.
Im just wondering how Raven used 3 essence in turn 2, even though all he did was build a farm.
Better a limit in POWER than a limit to raw numbers. examples of this are seen in Table-top games, where a player buys their units. Each unit is worth a certain amount of points. In elemental, for instance, perhaps an army cannot become larger than a million points, if points are distributed generously, or ... if a basic unit is only 1 point, then perhaps no larger than 20,000 points. The point is that you can either use a few elite units, a hoard of fodder units, or some-sort
yikes
I think each rank in a skill, say 1 rank in Fire skill, should slightly increase the power of the spell, or decrease the cost of the spell. (or both). And that every 5 ranks in the skill require one less shard. So 4 ranks of fire skill give more powerful, less expensive fire spells, although you need 1 shard for Fire 1 spells, 2 fire shards for Fire 2 spells, ect. Now, if you had 5-9 ranks, 0 fireshards are required for Fire 1 spells, and 3 shards are required for Fire 4 spells. Havin
even if they don't have damage types, im sure Spells will have their own by-element catagory. aka, Water Spell, or Fire Spell, or Earth Spell, or Air Spell a fire elemental could be immune to all Fire spells, ect. also, if diff spells require diff number of shards, then there coudl be fire 1 spells, fire 2 spells, fire 3 spells, and the Uber fire 4 spells. In this case, you could have 4 different levels of fire resistance as well. A fire-resistan
I think after this movie's flop, Cameron is going to get over the shiny lights and pictures, and move on to presenting a great universe AND a great storyline-movie to go along with it. One thing that will lead me to watching this movie is the fact that, 5 years ago?, would of been something akin to my favorite movie ever. Im all about dragons, and rainforest, and to me those flying things are alot more of a draw than the Blue people, although everything seems to be blue over t
Okay, duly noted. :Ahem: To properly, and directly respond to your question ... dragons will be EXTREMELY RARE and EXTREMELY POWERFUL ... talking about potentially wiping out thousands of your fodder soldiers before death or heartattack/whatever. Now then ... A Dragon can be recruited, seemingly an endeavor of massive amounts of prestige (civilization) as well as dragon-speak knowhow (Adventure). It seems to be involved in a mid-game or end-game adventure tech, combine
hmm, I kind of like that there is only "arcane damage." I mean, at first it sounded strange, but the way I figure it, you can specialize in X type of shards for X type of spell (wether that is buff/debuffs, or Large Area Attack/low damage, or Narrow Area Attack/High Damage, or super Life/Death craziness .... or even SUPER LARGE Area Attack/very low damag/chance for freezing (blizzard)) also, it makes people less likely to complain about spells causing physical damage rather than arcan
umba gaya umba gaya .... hallowed brothers of the cult of the Dragons, heed my call to this thread for it is of the Way of the Draco. Hallowed are the Dragons, deliverers of Origin. The holy flame of the Dragons shall be heard across all the galaxy. In a more detailed response, I would appreciate a mini-sector of techs refered to as Animal Mastery/ Beast Mastery, which deals with such things as breeding dragons, recruiting dragons, and the possibi
Or at least people developing MOM2 will be asking permission to use the Elemental Engine xD
I believe a Mcguffin is a mechanism for plot device which adds nothing else to the universe of the story. I think a good element of Fantasy is the Prodigal Son. Perhaps from the Fallen point of view. A servant who no-longer has a master ... begins to find his own way in the world ... fallen from the path of the titan, no longer a human as well. Should he shun the humans? unite the fallen? shun other fallen too? Should he attempt at being peaceful? Or try to stick close with the Titan'
Several categories of girls here, just like guys. There are the ones that really really like JRPGs to the point of obsession. This category is quite rare, and are about (a third?) as rare as the same gametype for males. About a handful or less of such women can be found at a given college. Probably 1 for each 1000 college attending females is a good estimate. Then there is the competitive FPS female gamer. Im not familiar with the numbers, but I think 30% of such users are female?
I agree with this. All Sovereign specific construction, research, gold, farming (city related) penalties should not actually be penalties but simply smaller bonuses, and the other side of the coin should be even bigger bonuses. A sovereign's presence in a city should give nothing but bonuses. The only exception I could see would be if the sovereign picked a talent like "touch of death" which causes discontent/unrest/prestige penalty (whatever) to citizens.
Yea. I think the creatures look cool, but the movie is certainly not going to be groundbreaking. Certainly I want to see it, but its no Law Abiding Citizen, thats for sure.
That would be nice, or, even better, that the skin pigments of the soldier depend on what terrain type the city is built upon.
ok ... it is sad that there is real politics, this is true. What about political systems in-place in the game? I mean do adopt one simple system, perhaps to work alongside "civics" ... where a nation adopts either a Creed, Motto, Monolythic Government, Guild, something whatever its called. This Creed will give acess to special units as well as special abilities. Like the necromancer creed will have better summons and a weaker economy, or a Nature creed will have
