I am pleased to announce the launch of a new, community-driven reference Wiki for Legendary Heroes and the rest of the Elemental games. As this is a community-driven project it is intended to grow to no end, and become a place where we can solve the many mysteries of Elemental for years to come. In this light, the wealth of t

I think the first game to get me like that when I was young, where I felt totally immersed in the character and world, was Quest for Glory 1 (still one of the best RPG series ever designed if you haven't experienced it yet). Once MMO's rolled in, it was Shadowbane that captivated me the most.

it's not a wide game (yet), but it is deep. while it may be simple, it's also very refined. the tight game play, streamlined ui, and presentation are worth checking out. got me for a "omg is that the sun!?" this morn. plus the developers are quite active; the forums are starting to fill up. a solid launch with a lot of potential - 87

Major issue imo. Landmarks and monsters also tend to be distributed in pairs.

Wha, so the factions just look different? (edit: ah i see, just global strengths and weaknesses) How's the AI / multi-player? To be honest my time is more valuable than money, but the combination of streamlined UI and game mechanics coupled with good AI / multi-player (and what appears to be decent immersion), could be right up my alley. They seem to have gotten enough right such that playing it safe for launch might not have been a bad idea, but so much of the f

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="4" id="3418546"] 3000 posts on the beta forum, doesn't look "dead" to me? That's pretty damn good for an indie game in closed beta. Edit: It was released the 14th apparently. I'll wait for a sale or very good reviews: 30 USD is AAA+ pricing nowadays.[/quote] True the beta forums have received a few posts a day but not much in the way of reviews, which I thought somebody in this community might be able to provid

In my opinion Stardock puts out some of the best Dev Journals, and in that spirit, I feel it would just be wrong for other game designers out there to not see these too..

[quote who="Mistwraithe" reply="16" id="3412686"] Monsters move first solves the most obvious problem of monsters missing the AI, but the underlying problem still exists and will be visible with the AI struggling to target each others armies.[/quote] I think the reason this issue is more prevalent with monsters is because they can only move 1 tile per turn... I wouldn't be able to catch anybody either. Edit: otherwise, if you look at Frogboy's AI a

I used to play FE with set to 2 or higher, and not only was the strategic map more fun, but also - mobs had no problem catching moving targets. Just food for thought.

Have your AI actively update a table that contains ALL units' pathing coordinates, and pass this to MoveUnitsforPlayer(): checking for combat interceptions before enacting. The amount of the table that needs to be passed/checked could be limited by adding a relative location threshold equivalent to the highest possible movement range, and/or by organizing the table cartographically. However, I don't know what parts of your AI are actively computed during the player's
