Reply to Aren't Caravans Supposed to Produce Gold? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Tempestwrath" reply="8" id="2763706"]I think the logic behind caravans and food is...[/quote] I hate to say it, but I don't think there is any logic behind caravans yet. I think they intended it to support trading actual resource types that the cities produced but they never got to it. Instead we get this. I have every confidence that we'll see this improved though. As it is now caravans make roads and that's a good thing.

Reply to Battles: Formations ... BUG or wanted ? in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I'm not so sure, it seems to me the "group of 4" (or more) is actually a new unit type. It happens to be one that is represented by an icon of 4 individuals, but it isn't actually that. It's a new singleton. It's an equivalent of an Ogre or Dragon unit. Or should those unit suffer a reduction in attack/defense as well with a reduction in HP?

Reply to Things that need to be fixed asap in War of Magic Elemental Forums

IMO, all the spells that damage all enemies needs to be eliminated. The Vigilant Minion has it, as does one of the high-end mobs (Undead Lord, maybe?) There is no scenario where that is fair given the current system. The rest of the AOE attacks target a 3x3 grid. That's more fair and reasonable.

I like #2 - especially since I just read Frogboy's post about how they will be eliminating Essence altogether.

My balance concerns - mostly around magic in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'm going to post my balance concerns here, echoing and repeating what others have said (most of this isn't original) but I do believe they interact in a way that has a bigger impact than any one thing. The Vigilant Minion with his ability to do unavoidable 10 points of damage to all enemies is too powerful for turn 1. It's honestly too powerful well into mid-game given that your heirs and other magic-wielding champions can all create them. The army of 5 minions can do way

Reply to [BUG?] Cannot select city when caravan is in the city in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Yes, if the city is big enough to have some other buildings you can click on them or click on the city icon on the left. However, there are unusual cases I've seen where an allied caravan is in my city preventing me from selecting it no matter what.

Reply to [Bug] Teleport problem in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I've got the same issue but its seemingly random, sometimes if I move them 1 space and then cast the spell it works. I also notice I can't teleport out of a city, I always have to move out one space then cast the spell.

Reply to 1.07 Out of Memory Crash in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I'm running Win7 64 w/ ATI and I've never run in Windowed mode, yet I get OOM regularly after about an hour of play.

[1.07]OOM crash3 in WOM Support Elemental Forums

OOM crash on 1.07 after about an hour playing this large map. As usual, the debug log is attached.

Reply to [1.07]OOM crash2 in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Forgive me, but I included the link to the debug log in the External Link, and for whatever reason the game has never once created a .zip file for me on a crash. The debug log includes all the details on how far in the game I was and a bunch of other data I hope helps them. If not, they should either put more details into the log or ask for save files.

Another OOM crash, 1.07.

[1.07]City population bug in WOM Support Elemental Forums

This save file will show a city population bug (it went to about negative 100) for a city named Snathos.

Debug attached, out of memory crash.

Reply to [Bug]? AI expands without food in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Yup I've seen the same thing, and its extremely frustrating. I assumed the AI was cheating immediately, but then read online where it isn't supposed to cheat (unless you choose Ridiculous as the difficulty setting, then the AI can see through the fog of war). So then I went back and check it out, and I can't see how he can be expanding all those cities without cheating. I took overall of his cities except for 1 (which didn't have any food production at all

Crash on 1.06 in WOM Support Elemental Forums

This save file will crash immediately after loading if you choose to auto-resolve the battle. Also, if you play the battle the game will eventually crash after this. Attached are the save file and the debug.err file (see External Link) above. Note that I'm not getting a .dmp or .zip file generated.

Reply to VBScript & Proxy Support in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Ah it turns out to be simpler than that - the code was making a call to check System.InternetConnected and that is failing inside a proxy. This call was added so people writing scripts like this could make sure they didn't give the user script errors when the internet connection wasn't available (such as for dial-up users) and is a good idea. However, whatever check InternetConnected is using doesn't work when you're inside a proxy server. I suspect it makes some direct attempt to either look

Reply to VBScript & Proxy Support in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The one weather object I have is in VB and makes a call to a Microsoft XML object to do the GET, and the MSFT documentation seems to imply that proxy support is inherent in that, and that it would take the browsers setting. The unfortunate part is, it isn't working so it must not be the case . As for getting the weather, I'm not worried too much about security <img src="http://images.stardock.com/ima

DesktopX script debugging in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Anybody have any tips for how to debug DesktopX scripts? I suppose I can just use popup debug messages - is that what most folks use?

Reply to VBScript & Proxy Support in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Anybody have an answer - unfortunately they don't use the browser proxy setting. Which is too bad - stardock central does, but desktopX objects don't.
