Reply to Private builds for the adventurous in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Holy cow I'm getting whooped on a normal world and all AI on challenging... Going back to normal lol. Ow and Altar are very very very annoying city spammers, even if allied with them they keep spamming cities next to my borders and stealing my resources away over time. Other game i killed about 10 pioneers of them and then he dropped a pioneer right in my influence zone next to 2 crystal mines (right next to the one I had under control and build on). This build seems a lot more stable

Reply to And you decide to hire the guy that ruined the 20-year old Civilization franchise??? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Guibs" reply="31" id="2860088"] So I am guessing that guys like the OP believe Sid Meier is the bane of the gaming sim industry because one day he created a game called civilization Revolution? Pathetic... [/quote] Errr CivRev rocked hardore! Modern version of CIV I. The thing with it was to be able to look beyond comparing it to CIV IV. CivRev is a very good game.

Reply to Elemental 2011: THE LIST in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Bidibody" reply="66" id="2858971"]Mr. Brad, your commitment on Elemental and more in general to customer satisfaction is commendable, but from what you show us in your list I think it would be easier to completely rewrite the game reusing only some portable parts, more than trying to fix or change that huge amount of features! As many other players/customers I bought Elemental the day it was made available on Impulse, but after trying the single player c

Reply to Lord Xia's Treatise on Elemental improvement, ver 1.1 in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="22" id="2856846"] Unlike other games Elemental isn't a game about an empire (in Civilization you aren't playing Stalin or Washington, you are playing Russia or America), its about your sovereign. [/quote] Hmmm, that may have been the original intend but with so many heroes to care for, cities to build, trade, diplomacy, exploration, neighboors to manage... It is just that, a fantasy empire building game (Civ Fantasy if you will). There is not

Reply to Bugs in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Doubt this is the place for it, but i'll drop in a few I found as well, also does sending crash rapports to microsoft help at all (ie does it ever come back to Stardock)? My input so far: 4) Save game screen has garbeled text over it @1920x1200 (but is fully functional). 5) When a city is idle and you complete research the build improvements screen pops-up. 6) In the campaign the closed elemental gate (final mission book 1) message keeps popping up everytime

Reply to Increasing replay value in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Hmm, I understand the one strategy to rule all games argument, Galciv had 2 solutions as far as i remember for it being 1. racial differances in both bonusses and tech tree and 2. limited random availability of resources (i.e. good planets and other goodies). Yet I still stopped playing it after a while mainly due to boredom/feeling of repetiviness. Strangely enough I never felt that way with say C&C: Red Alert 2 (i know different game, different pacing but strategic nonetheless). <p

Ow and a bit of feedback regarding the less than involved world feeling, I dont know if it's the big difference maker but I do feel the graphics of Age of Wonders and <a title="homm assorted images" href="http://had0c.blogspot.com/2010/09/heroes-of-might-and-magic-3-and.html" target

Reply to Elemental 2011: THE LIST in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Please please please please please please please please add memory management to the game, the game crashing with an Out Of Memory error is just plain old 1992 silly. If you can detect you my vid card surely you can tell my system has 2 GB and surely it can tell how much of that is reservered/used by other processes and surely it can then told not to use more/reuse its memory spaces/release unused memory. Heck if it means the game will run somewhat slower, meh, thats my choice, I could always

Reply to How do you develop your planets? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've found that unless your population is getting really out of hand you only need 2 entertainment centers on planets that range from 12 to 16 in size and why 2 entertainment centers on small? (what do you consider small?) Small lvl4~lvl8 And the second entertainment center is needed
