Well now that the Elemental modding Community has a crack Coder/AI type, all we need now is a crack writer type, a crack Graphic type etc. Can't let Brad do it all now can we. What kind of a break for him would that be. LOL Perhaps Brad, you would

One has to assume the 5 tier system is in place to actually curb the whole 1 humongous City build process, from which vast hordes of troops would spill out of to defend itself or rampage across the land. Seeing as the Huts currently auto upgrade to house, it seems logical, and obviously not activated at this point, that House would Auto upgrade to Apartments thus keeping the growth alive and preventing the stagnant

[quote]"That gives an advantage to a chaser (running army in range will be always intercepted), so probably an additional mechanics is needed - small stacks of skirmishers has a chance not to be intercepted - say, a small group of cavalry should be able to outrun a big army, even if said army can intercept the "trace" (however, a player being chased may choose to fight instead)."[/quote] That could be accompli

Welcome to Beta .295. Under options, turn on Auto saves and after a crash restart your PC and then Reload the games last save. It will allow you to carry on but results will still be iffy.

I think the problem with the OP is that, as shown in the Posts that had relevant info in them, is not where do you start but more where do you stop the non-deterministic boundary? Take all the examples noted so far and think about how many more would be required to even scratch the surface possibilites. Floods Famine, Tornado

[quote]"Quantity has a quality all of its own" -Stalin [/quote] I may have missed the boat on this one but, it seems to me that Elemental will set up such that Land owners, upon which the required resources/Shards reside, will be the determing factor to how Big or Super any Stack will be.

As noted, the fight will be for the City as a whole, or the only other choice, logically, seeing how currently Cities are grow/ are layed out, with adjacent buildings, it would force the attacker to breach the walls, then destroy each building be it House/Town Hall/Library etc. that lay between them and the Final City defeating building. The Citadel. Seiging was a model based on demoralizing, starving and generally

Lets not forget. Choke Points will be creatable with Magic and unless your attacking force has a Channeler within its ranks, (assuming Hero's will have essence but not Mana, those Rivers and Mountain Ranges my Channeler put up, to protect on my Lands, will most certainly choke you off. A Fort should be limited to being an Upgraded Outpost. The Outpost is created to gather reso

The Prestige ideas works well to have any group of cities be built at the same rate, or face losing ones Pop. to the one with more Prestige. Loverly. Sadly, as noted by RomanGuy, the current setup of forcing a player to establish a City in order to harvest a Shard, at every Shard, has to be looked at. The Outpost idea will work when you don't have to have a City Cente

Reset Title after Forum Database Reload. :) Magic could be used, but, if and when real Magic usage needs of Mana becomes more essential for truly critical needs, expending it for clearing Forests might become a low priority and thus negate that possiblilty. How about as the Mill collect the Lumber, the area around the Mill proper slowly become devoid and usable? As an aside, if you build a mill on a small
