[quote who="dragoaskani" reply="10" id="2764407"] Quoting DevildogFF, reply 8 Quoting Temparr, reply 6 Quoting TLamming, reply 3I dont have my copy and I live 30 minutes up the road from stardock and it was a pre order. Pre Order during Beta2. Also 30mins away (Walled Lake, MI). Pretty much WTF at this point. I want to be strong and zen-like, get my game and shut up til it is fixed, but this is insu

I'm not saying do a duplicate, but some systems could have been fine and they could have branched out from there
Start with MoM and innovate from there. Simple!
PS: Dont fall on your sword just yet ;)
I know I sound like a broken record but play MoM, make the game play like that with modern features, and make buttloads of money and bring everyone back. Doont reinvent the wheel on things that dont need it, and innovate on new features to add your own flair!
Exotic caster clothing makes sense though.
[quote who="Empyrean" reply="25" id="2755540"]Putting boobs on a breastplate is unnecessary since you can strap them down pretty well, and women certainly would do that before fighting. Adding boobs to armor adds weight and deflects blows towards the sternum. It's a bad idea. Realistic armor for women looks like armor for men. If you want something sexy, well, you're on the Internet. Go find it.[/quote] This
Also, where is the polish? Take note of the music in mom when you discover a new spell or item. The animation of your wizard pulling down the new spell and it writing into your spellbook. Little details like that. What ever happend to random events, devistating overland spells,, etc?
I think the magic system should not be a research deal either. Make it like master of magic! I'm not s ure if I like the mana pool. Make it so only the Sovereign can cast overland spells, and make intelligence how powerful the spell is and wisdom how much mana per turn that the sovereign can cast. This would work out really well imho. I think you should be able to find an extra book or two with quests, but research means that everyone will end up with the same books e
I pre ordered and still have not received my copy. I live up the road in howell, mi
The beta process needed a game-play and mechanics beta. They tried so hard to make a "painful" beta that none of the game concepts to make things "fun" where really tested. Throwing random ingredients into a bowl and mixing them does not make a great recipe, no matter how great the individual quality of each ingredient is.
We dont want a clone of MoM, we want a modern version that introduces concepts that take care of its weaknesses, with a modern AI, multi-player and some fun new concepts that add to its depth, not detract.
Make the tactical combat DEEP. Make the heroes DEEP. Play your game then play MOM then play your game. Play empire total war, play your game. Thanks brad for being straight with us :)
Thanks Brad. Please play MoM and heroes of might and magic. Even games like shogan total war have really cool things that make the generals aka heroes unique. Do stuff like that! Also, look at MoM's magic system. Its incredible to this day

I wonder if its possible to make MoM using this engine?
Stardock, are you going to implement anything like the above, or should we just forget about it? I dont mean this in a rude way, I mean it as far as licensing goes and all that.
1. AI 2. Magic system (make diverse and overland spells like MoM) make casting take turns for huge spells. 3. Hero abilities (make diverse units like MoM)
i loved the mom spell of chaos, which spawned random volcanoes in the world and slowly but surely destroyed the landscape
I think stardock is afraid to use things from MoM which is a shame. I wish they would take the good stuff from MoM. The stuff you listed above was great.
Guys please check out master of magic and the wide range of units in tac. battles. Notice how they all have all kinds of different abillities, strengths, weaknesses and things that set them apart. First strike, flying, made of ice... stuff like that
Yeah clickdrag is super nice. The shift arrow thing is UBER slow.
Why in the world would you argue against better tactical combat? Master of Magic had great tactical combat and we dont.
[quote who="NoPJag" reply="52" id="2738208"]What was great in MoM Every sword gave you 30% chance of scoring a hit (2 layers : number of swords, hit rate). Every shield gave you 30% chance of deflecting a hit Only on that you could act with two manners : improve the percentage, or have more swords/shield. So, when you add 3 swords, what was better ? adding 10% (+1 to hit) or one more ? If you had a hero with 8 swords, it was defini
