[quote who="Istari" reply="12" id="2816094"] So, let the Sovereigns die of any cause, even very old age, and let their heirs take over (but possibly let you choose who takes the throne).[/quote] Let us choose or let them take over in proper succession order.. you can always arrange an "accident" for ones you don't like. Downside to not letting the proper successor retain power would be losing more heirs to get to the one you want. TBH i wouldn't care either way.

EDITED** 550 turns in my sov is 35.. so idk maybe they do die eventually lol would have to be like 10k or so turns in so i doubt anyone has played long enough to find out.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="6" id="2816038"]Yeah a big "no thanks" on the main character dying of old age. The dynasty system should provide new rulers if the first one dies, but not replace him/her naturally.[/quote] The method of death wasn't really the important point.. its the fact that you have heirs who can never fufill the roll of ruler at this point. Only reason i suggested death from old age is death from combat = loss at this point.. figured it would be a m

Would be nice if they atleast died of old age so the dynasty system would matter more [e digicons]:|[/e]

[quote who="BrotherBulger" reply="8" id="2815988"]Heavenfall, how exactly would they learn if their dead?[/quote] Well they certainly won't repeat their mistakes.. the main objective of teaching someone a lesson..

I personally don't see an issue with champs at this point.. if you put their stat gains in the right places they can be pretty mean. Melee work on combat speed vit and str maybe some dex ignore the others and equip them well and they turn into pretty mean units.

I'll take this point by point.. my responses in BOLD [quote quoting="post"] I have played a lot of tactical games, starting from a kid playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and a lot of RPGs with Dragon Warrior and Zelda. I've been playing this game and I think I have a few ideas that could be battled around. This is all I have for now, but I will come up with more. Nation modding: First, I would like more options on changing

[quote who="Polynomial" reply="130" id="2815831"]At this point, competing with Steam is like competing with Walmart. You can do it, but you'll never get there. I gave up on the whole anti Steam thing a long time ago.[/quote] Meh depends on what you mean by anti-steam. If your referring to actively seeking information about games then choosing not purchasing games which require it then i'm still anti steam. If your referring to attempting to sway others opinio

[quote who="Alstein" reply="14" id="2815823"] Over at other places, people are wondering if they bought and registered the game prior to the due date (and can prove it), but didn't download an update- if they would also get the free xp's. I really think they should, since they also give you the money before the deadline, and haven't really played it due to the problems- so if you're compensating us, I think they should get it also.

I agree.. if nothing else because my first son or daughter tends to be 4 years younger than me [e digicons]8C[/e]

[quote who="Gwenio1" reply="26" id="2815421"] PBEM does not mean death match, it is just hot seat on separate machines with no tactical combat. It is quite fun because you can play against a people you would never be able to play with other multiplayer modes and it workd better for large maps with people you do not know personally.[/quote] I know what PBEM is. But his whole argument about how that is the only way it would work is based on everyone having a deathm

I think people need to step back and ascertain if they can still tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Games and the real world. Genocide isn't okay but ask the majority of gamers if they have ever razed a city in civ or nuked half the world, or carjacked someone in Grand theft auto.The whole premise of the game involves sending thousands of followers to their deaths and killing the followers of another channeler, yet people who seem okay with that aspect think inbreeding is taking

IIRC A_manaregeneration should be at the bottom of any custom factions you create set to 1. Setting this higher "should" give X mana per turn where X is whatever you set it to.. thats world map turns not tactical though.

Giving us more techs buildings options etc to increase influence would help in building higher influence with a few cities. Pretty much agree with the OP though.. ICS is the only major tactic the AI uses at this point.. well have to see what 1.1 brings though. Should be a bit different with being able to specialize cities more.

[quote who="Istari" reply="114" id="2815353"] Quoting Fistalis, reply 113-"Redefine 'Multiplayer' to include AI opponents." I don't get why this is on the list.. its pretty much standard for most 4x and RTS games.. Multiplayer generally entails that you can play against other human controlled opponents in the game. Multiplayer was missing from release and is not yet fully developed as I understand it, so I put this in as a simple and ridiculous sol

-"Redefine 'Multiplayer' to include AI opponents." I don't get why this is on the list.. its pretty much standard for most 4x and RTS games..

Problem is you totally discount those of us who like to play a game with roommates or friends etc just to have fun. Not every game has to be a deathmatch competition. Those of us who want a MP clone of SP are mainly in this catagory.. PBEM would be no different for us than just playing it together other than the added wait of sending each other our moves after each turn... Why everyone insists that everyone who plays multiplayer does so in a competitive way is beyond me. Is someone playing a

I was planning to hold out until 1.1 and the demo came out ... but two expansions for free ... had to take that offer. Now I feel like a girl in winters sale, laden with a dozen price-reduced shawls. The general idea is that at some point Elemental's price point will go down (it's selling well and in fact sold more units at retail and direct in October than in September) and we want to make sure th

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="154" id="2815119"]I think most people know which "camp" I was in back in the day. I liked the idea of managing resources -- turning something into another and working out the logistics. But I'm in a tiny minority on that feeling. But I do like the idea of letting modders eventually changing things a lot.[/quote] For me it depends on how far you take it. If its a multitude of end products to choose from from a single map reso

Soverigns and other casters spam spells til their out of mana on me occasionally leading to those "omg he just killed me first turn of the fight" moments.
