Really like the direction the latest builds have taken, great work. Speaking of Ships, their movement is painfully slow. Hopefully there will be a pass on Ship animation. Currently playing "Kraxis" on a Medium map at challenging difficulty. Recruiting Heroes needs a pass. Early in game I found a couple, then nobody until way late in the game. Actually flooded with heroes now. The problem seems to be that Heroes are only spawning i

As I'd stated, I've played a number of games in the latest beta. So far the continent has been VERY sparsely populated with nodes. Like only 5-6 nodes total. Kind of hard to build up any sort of mana base when so few nodes are to be had.

I'm very pleased with the current direction of Elemental. The tech trees are fleshing out, and spells are looking pretty good. The current issue I have is that with the global magic system, accumulating points to actually cast spells is awful. After playing through a couple of games, only a handful of nodes ever appeared making mana production moot. I can recall having one good battle involving magic which burned through the mana stockpile and never regenerated

I had the same exact problem (Thanks Comcast!), and not being able to play a stand alone game was entirely unacceptable.

Glad to hear about the changes to outposts. Maybe in the expansion we could also have building upgrades. Like expanding on outposts so that units stationed there may have an opportunity to heal over time, friendly Caravans that tag an Outpost establish a road (which would be handy if you plan on having cities that are really spread out).

They should be able to be built within the city's zone of control without needing to be directly attached to another building. Then they become useful.

The idea of Action Points above only applies to when units are within the Tactical Battle screen. Movement on the main map seems to be just fine.

[quote quoting="post"] On the other hand, having the tactical battles eliminate "action points" but instead go with initiative on a per unit basis is too much for A (that's not the system we had in mind for War of Magic) but is something we would do for B.

[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="15" id="2757855"]2.8 How can I use caravans and what is their benefit (Food, Roads)? !!! Beware that the caravans/traders can be attacked and destroyed by enemies. Even though the roads will remain, you are forced to train a new caravan if you want to re-establish the trade route. !!! [/quote] I don't mind that my Caravan's get destroyed, it keeps my armies on thier toes. However, having to retrain the unit each time is an unnece

I found out that if the Soveriegn Essence is reduced to zero, on leveling up you do NOT have the option to increase the essence stat anymore. In fact Essence is no longer listed as a stat after being reduced to zero. =(

Character Creation: Hardy : extra HP's. Seems vanilla and I have no idea how much extra health this is. Why would I put points in health if this is better/worse than raising stats. Cost of Spellbooks. Wish the first choice was free, and each additional cost more 0/5/10 Request: Cosmetic Armor/Weapons for character build. All those cool(?) poses and my Sovereign has nothing to hold on to. Game really hates tab

Reveal cannot be cast upon an area you already explored. This is inconvenient as I sometimes want to check an area for enemy units hidden by fog before moving back into an area. I would also like to see another version of Reveal that is less costly and only allows you to view Terrain; does not show troops, cities, etc. This would help reduce wasting time exploring areas that are impassable or dead ends.

Most of the tile sizes are fine, but it strikes me as odd that while my citizens have a nice big school house I expect my military to train in a closet. I would think the Barracks should be a bit more prominent tile for a game that has the word "War" in its titile.

It would be nice if they were born with Essence

That's the same thing that happened in my last game

I stand corrected. However this is still going to be an issue for people/luddites that cling to 2-button mice/trackballs

I'd upload the files, but don't see how you do that with the above tools. Files pending

Why not use the default Saved Game location under the windows user profile, or at least create a folder under My Documents? Quite a few data backup applications only hit the User data instead of the entire drive

I figured it out, intellipoint had the wheel/mid-click set to something else. Mapped another button on the mouse for Middle-Button and it works now. Not sure why you just didn't use the right mouse button as it doesn't seem to do anything else on the cloth map.

Very simple, you can do 2 actions per unit 1/2 Move (if your unit's total move is Attack, Combat speed also factors into trumping counter-attack Fortify; which also has chance for counter-attack on defending

When attempting to sell them to your vendor, they sell for a big fat 0.

It would be awesome to view a cities established trade routes. This would help when figuring out where to send of newly built caravans and re-establishing routes after random stuff kills off caravans enroute. I would think that you would select the city in question, click a trade route toggle button, then the roads/routes sourced from that city would change color.

Helpful for new players that may have not have played this type of game

I'm surprised it's not already
