Reply to What are the best TB Fantasy RPG/RTSs out there? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

tac battles played out by the PC? Actually, i think I might like this appraoach to tac battles. Too bad the game doesnt include a 'switch' that allows users to have the game ALSO allow user to play out the tac battle directly, in turn based mode, or unit based mode. But I like the idea of the leader giving general commands to units, and then, people being people, they do their best in the trenches...

I think, if you want to do something a little different, you could have the streams run along the edges of the squares, instead of through the middle. This is an excellent idea. Then some rivers could be 'impassable' except at fords and bridges... others would be shallow enough to cross anywhere. And a new set of tactical issues to deal with, very cool idea.

Reply to [WIP] Elf Tech Tree / Pre-made Units in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

So much of what you have suggested sounds really good. I like it! Well thought out. The only concern I would have is the auto updating of units - and not allowing each user to decide how to armor /equip /etc. each unit. This seems to be a key part o9f your plan. Please help me understand what is the (are the) concept(s) idea(s) behind this auto upgrade decision? What are the trade offs, as you see it? I love the idea of elves...

Reply to I'm lost :( in War of Magic Elemental Forums

yes, EWoM has many optons, and is like an adventure, but takes a few turns for things to happen. Start your city next to fertile land. Get the court scribe to join you. Go visit as many of the level 0 goody huts nearby, scout the area for resources. tech? I go civ until I get irrigation. War, go for bows. When resources are found, send a pioneer to settle there. Lots of options. remember, when you raise the level of the notible sites, you

Yes, i noticed the lack of rivers. I attributed that to the extreme dryness of the entire planet... evistated by the previous war. The patches of fertile land are really important for settlements to support significant populations. I suppose, over time, rivers might re appear as the land is healed by the channelers?

Reply to Anyone created new treaties? in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

I'm not a programmer. However, is there a way to create a treaty that allows one time, passage thru another SOV's area? A very inexpensive treaty. This is so necessary in early game, when an NPC gets caught between beography and another SOV's controlled lands. Only option now is a non agression pact -and many times, early game, they are impossible to 'purchase.'

Reply to Alleviating "First Strike" in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Another idea to alleviate first strike might be to have each side (AI issue here) give general orders to its units, (dig in and defend, assault, volley approaching units, etc.). and only allow user it change orders according to a frequency based on initiative,battle leadership skills, experience with leading battles, etc. If Multi-user game sever gets implemented, this would also be a handy way to do battles. basically, the idea is that in

Reply to Alleviating "First Strike" in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

The idea of initiative for each unit would be wonderful. The overwatch concept sounds like it would add a great deal to tactical decisions - like it. Also, saving some cavs to opportunity charge? Also, the idea that higher level spells take progressivly (longer / more action points) to cast. And the caster's current level (how many above cast spell level) may shorten cast time for that spell?

My workaround has been to post units to remove fog of war from the route. Ideally, some sort of optional escort that acompanies / built into caravanb(s) is 'historical' model. Wish we could assign units to 'patrol' as well.

Yes, I love your ideas. may i suggest additions? Placing a child of the soverign (a royal) in a settlement improves some aspect(s) of the settlement (deprednig on abilities of the royal). Also, over time, (if settlement is kept safe from raiders, etc) creates/strengthens a loyalty bond to that royal (and their heirs). Should that royal be married into another soverign's line, then 'attacking' (not defending against) that soverign 'might' have co
