ya, I certainly didn't like the age factor in ROTK. Giving a hero a slightly larger chance to die in battle would solve the 'over population' with them I be thinkin.
last I heard dynasties where planned to make a come back in the 'next' expansion, don't know any details as to what they're going to do with them though (other than they said they wanted to do them 'right'). I firmly believe they DO have a pretty good idea of how many of us want dynasties back being this has been something that seems to have been brought up many times since the initial take away of tha system. I think I come up wi
yes, the more unique factions the merrier (I used to go WAY out of my way to make sure the 'barbarians' in civ would take over a whole island for themselves)
Nobody likes a cheater, to me the worst kind of cheating is to bump up the stats of the opponents, I"m all good for letting them start with more traits, starting positions, & more general trickyness. personally I would prefer them not get a bonus to unit stats untill the last two difficulty lvls if ever. Changing the stats changes the enemy your fighting, they are no longer the goblins they should be but ogres (4 hitpoints to 16?) when all you wanted was&n
karma to ya, much thanks for the hours of goodness
I'm lookin, but I don't see any videos yet, what tha h*ll guys?
d*mn tha sorry dog, he shouldn't be allowed to post much less be in tha beta!!!!!
I love the look, & the details given, but don't care much for the opening paragraph. It just seems too straight foward to me/ too bland, it needs more 'story'/epicness about it: In a time where life is just begining to re-emerge, there comes a powerfull enchantress bent on destroying the world & all that inhabit it, do you have what it takes to curve out your own destiny in this world full of strif - I don't know, something more needed (I just think i
D*mn Right!!!!!!! The Elemental World the way it should be, in all it's glory!!! Gives a home for all this lore
might be neat & add to the feel of the game if lets say two or more sovs are trying to raise/lower/destroy land & a counter is cast on it for example, there could be a small chance that the magiks will 'combust' causing one of those great chasms that dot the landscape from the last epic magic battle, a smaller chance to unleash some kind of demon or it resurrects one the great beings that have fallen in tha past (or creats a new one), or a node is formed?
[quote who="seanw3" reply="72" id="3056551"]Now as to allowing a faction specific unit bonuses to add to units, that is a good idea that would work within the current structure. Please add that. I also would assume technology and questing will unlock new bonus, as will certain buildings.[/quote] ya, I think the trait system was a marvelous idea that will allow for all kinds of ideas to be easily added. the way I see it one can never have too many different ki
Was curious as to wether we would have the option to let the ai control our armies in the tac battles? I really missed this feature in E:wom. I always loved being able to play the first round of combat in aow:sm then setting my armies loose to do as they wished. I've looked at all the vids & such only havn't been able to tell if this was in, just wanted to make sure it wasn't forgotten about.
Those wildlands just look tooo mean, I'll be sending a 'welcome me to the neighborhood' gift quickly followed by another Edit: and another, and another, and another. So can we 'ally' with certain wildlands?
that first pic is just sweet, has me head brainstormin. so... are the units defending in tha city or are they next to the city & the surrounding tiles were included in the battle? I too would not read the lore if it was hidden & I"m much more into the lore of this game than I ever was aow:sm (possibly my alltime 4x fav) </
[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="31" id="3053604"]Nooooo! It's too soon. Take your time. Give Jon and Derek three more months. There's no rush.[/quote] I beg you to consider this (we would prolly have seiges & sea warfare/monsters/quests & dynasties: one for each month?)
I saw a city bonus that applies to all units built from that city (defence +3 +1pershard), do the miltiamen also get this bonus? I'm gonna have unbreakable defenses without ever building a unit (gotta love the number of possible strategies where gonna have). Military units require upkeep, militiamen defend out of love!!! Long live the ability to turtle, does a palace give extra defenders/militiamen, just seems like the importance of a palace would demand a standing guard<
"And according to the map [I’m not sure if we should get to see this], Xander is training Archers." I vote no here, unless you have a unit close enough to 'see' what's goin on or a spell/quest that allows one to see the 'unkown' in a given area for a bit Oh.., and I've got an idea, what about a neutral trader that travels around with his wagon selling various unique items to those that have the money, the neat part wo
Edited: I love Stardock
hotseat is a 'must' as for I'm concerned, I don't really care so much when it gets implemented just so long as it does (Someone watchin me play and says they would like to try (possible sell), sorry but you can't do that in this game) everyone I"ve ever gotten to play one of my games (Turned based strategy) has been accomplished by adding in 'roleplayin' of my own to entice them until they start liking the game itself &
I'd have to say the best game I've played in the last 10 years would have to be the night I got my woman edit: but aren't games supposed to end at some point?
Elemental: War of Magic - The story of a man wanting to make his dream game but fell short Elemental: Fallen Enchantress - The story of a man that wanted to build his dream game, fell short, got p*ssed, & did anything & everything to ensure it happened this time around including: hiring on @4x the crew, having no deadlines, & near limitless funds dedicated to it
I'd like to have an 'allied victory' toggle, & wouldn't mind if there was someway for a faction with a higher power rating to still respect me if we've had good dealings in the past, just because your powerfull doesn't mean you don't care about those that have helped you out of some hard times
I believe this is planned for the 2nd expansion (don't think they got it into E:FE, but they could surprise us)
"Oh f..ck. Defeat in 63 turns." - Had me rollin
