Ok I decide to play magnar. THe outside monsters are brutal and kick ass, it takes for ever just to build spear men who get owned by the avearge monster. Also how do I form another city aparently I need grain but there is no grain anywhere to be found after the first city. anyone have any starting tips
Are all the different factions in ? Also are any of the different factions monster races, such as orc or undead? How is this game different that elemental. THe major differences. Also is it worht pre purchasing the game at its current state.
so what are the two expansions going to do. anyone have anyidea.
I would disagree with CIV 5 being devoid of depth its just different, combat, resource maangement, and culture add a ton of options in them. And its a lot more stable then Elementals launch, never care what people say about AI becuase they all suck becuase no AI comes close to human intelligence or are unpredicatbility. I have played 4 games of CIV 5 so far, each one different, played on an ice world, jungle world desert world and eartrh. Each Civ feels a little different and
So lets get this straight this post was done in febuary, and everyone listed what they liked about MoM and nont one of those things made it into elemental
1. Diverser and unuque spell tree 2. diverse units with unique powers. FLIGHT, vampiric immunity to certain damage. 3. UNIQUE FACTIONS. 4. Item Crafting 5. Kick Ass Heroes and more Diverse Wizard Creator.
I actually returned elemental and bought civ 5, atleast with civ 5 I feel like there more then just one faction and the cities look different. and untis are more diverse, better diplomacy etc. and in a years time there will be a fantasy mod for it. I so wanted to like elemental who knows maybe in a year it might be worth getting.
[quote who="Tormy-" reply="2" id="2766378"]Interesting video. Note #1.: Imo the [patched up] Civ4 AI is far from being perfect [it's mediocre] and it's been made for a "simple" game basically. I am pretty sure that the EWoM AI will be very good later on, but you shouldn't forget 1 thing: EWoM is a much more complex game than Civ4. So writing the AI for EWoM is/will be much more harder than writing the AI for Civ4. Note #2.: Do you know that would be
[quote who="greggbert" reply="56" id="2763914"]You choose the spells based on the amount of shards you own. That makes a huge difference on which one you should pick! I don't think adding 6 different damage and defense/resistance types to the game at this point will make it better.... [/quote] ok this makes no sense. I dont know how many shards there are when the game begins and I choose the spells books in the begining. I just finished an AOM game. I
[quote who="greggbert" reply="51" id="2763796"] I am not sure about what this exactly means: - Is balancing weapons needed to ensure that AI can survive - or changing the combat system will have a too important impact for the AI As a developer myself my guess is that adding more attributes and calculation factors to combat would break the AI or cause it to have to be completely rewritten to take the new factors into account.
Well any game by blizzard and bioware I have been able to play fully, with out anything going tits up and major balance issues. so in 5 minutes you realized exactly how combat and spell damage worked, I didnt I had to come to the forums. And spell damage is still somewhat a mystery to its creation, such 1 mana for earthquake. But here is the big thing, this game was supposed to be the spiritual succesor to masters of magic, and its not close. not by a longshot and
I disagree that we should all be praising them for this game. I come from the school where if you dont get any answers right on a test you fail the class, you dont a slap on the back and you get told to better next time. Hell below 70% was failing grade for me. In there own words they said they dropped the ball huge, people are getting laid off because of this. And all the suggestions I see on here are just that suggestions ideas, can people not voice them? there not saying do
[quote who="solidsmooky" reply="7" id="2754871"]How about making the world less barren and dull? Some more exciting magic? Make not taking every magic school mean something. Force magic specialization. Make the different civs actually different instead of good "White people" and bad "dark people" [/quote] your dark people comment reminds me of this pieve by george carlin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaS2bRGS86c </p
I want battles like this. in 1.08 :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_KlINBUYc4
[quote who="Ahroo" reply="1" id="2753517"]Who is tom francis and why should I care about his opinion? Where's Dan Stapleton or Desslock? The game has been released far, far too early And so was your review. That’s the game Stardock put in the box, relying on a day-one patch to get it to an acceptable state. But the game’s requirements don’t include an internet connection to play, and even if they did, the optimistically named ‘day 0&rsq
because all the spells are the same, inferno and blizzard are the same spell just reskinned, there no damage resistances to specific spells. so you might as well just choose like earth and fire to get the cool summoned creatures and put the other points else where.
Bugs, late game crawl and crashes, then balancing units out.
So were supposed to atleast get one patch in septmeber that fixes magic and character creation. But I say screw that, cant you all fix the end game slow down first and get a patch out ASAP, would rather have bugs squashed then content balanced
[quote who="Vhorthex" reply="104" id="2747034"] Quoting pmaura, reply 62 I would like to say I would gladly pay about $100 for a modern remake of MoM, and I mean that, dont add any new ruels just a super facelift that make her look 18 again. If you want to add a few things here and there like a custumizable hero, more spells another race, more diplomatic options great, but dont remove shit. refine her and fix her, dont reinvent. <br
worst idea ever. unless your cryptic. seriously having to pay $10 a month for a single player game. lets see I would of paid about 250 for civliziation and the total war series.
lets get the actual gameplay stable. and fix the glass cannon issue first.
the only one I know is #2 they heal in your area of influence not sure if they heal faster in a city, which brings up a new buidling, Hospital

I have critized this game a bunch but not because of hatred. I still enjoy this game. But I think there somethings that need to be corrected immedialty and then they market the hell out of it. 1. Stability in the late game. Still far two many complaints me included of this game bogging down to a crawl and becoming frustrating. 2. Fix Combat. Right now armor is useless, just get the strongest weapon and position your units for first strike and your good. Lot of people h
well then cut the price in half since I half to make the game myself
