Reply to Will Elemental be the TBS Fanatasy game to replave Age of Wonders SM? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I played AOW: SM for last couple of days. Guess what guys? Surprise! I had more joy playing Beta 4 (and still would play it if it was not self-deleted by update). 7 years in gaming is LOOONG time, so, what was considered superb 7 years ago, does not cut anymore...

[quote who="Frogboy"] 3 out of 4 PC game sales occur at retail with the bulk occurring at just a handful of retailers (Walmart, Best Buy, Gamestop, etc.). The remaining 25% is via digital distribution (Steam, Impulse, D2D, etc.). [/quote] Frogboy, Can you give us the source of your information? Is it just internal SD estimation? Then what do you base it upon?

Reply to An insider’s look at PC game publishing in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Does anyone know if large portion of online sales are just subscription sales, like word of warcraft? In this case it is quite possible that Frogboy talks only about new game sales, while NPG about sales that include subscription, and sales of the old games for couple bucks which of course would not be applicable to elemental.

Yes, imagine you can be a historian watching how everything develops before your eyes with ability to interrupt the events. This is like world simulator from god's point of view. Could be really cool.

[Suggestion] AI fights. in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Sorry, I initially posted it in wrong forum (did not know that there is special forum just for suggestions). I am re-posting it here to have proper discussion One of the things that is missing in most of the strategy games and missing in ALL TBS games that I am aware off is the ability to set up matches of AI vs. AI. For whatever reason I enjoy doing it. Moreover I hope that we will be able to produce custom AI and include into game. We can even h

Reply to Elemental: Game Play Example – Part 4 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I am actually surprised that despite the marriage to the rival, AI decides to ally with you, even though it was visible from the past shots that it should be upset about this marriage. I think it could have been handle better, something like "the price for this alliance is high because you gave you daughter into the marriage to my rival, and I am upset".

With all this talks on this forums about AoW: Shadow Magic, I found my disc and installed it. There is a chance that I will play that game... or not. TF2 is always good for relaxation though :)

It is still single women, so the amount of babies will be about the same in single or multiple man marriage. The situation is simply different with one man and many wives.

[quote who="WaitingOnTheGame" reply="6" id="2694077"] Quoting LDiCesare, reply 4The dragon has a weak point: He crawls at 1 move per turn. Sovereign is usually able to wipe out the map alone before that. But the dragon is useful for the master quest where big baddies actually are. if your sovereign has organized, then the weak point is eliminated.[/quote] Then may be it should be immune to that. 1 move per turn, no mater your sovereign traits.

[quote who="kryo" reply="41" id="2718830"] And I personally do not think that SD done anything wrong here. Things happen in beta, no problem. It is "this is your fault that you lost beta" attitude that pisses me off. "Things happen in the beta" is exactly the bulk of what I've been saying. You're inferring "it's your fault" from "read the stickies and announcements and don't overreact to beta un-fun", but the subtext isn't there. Which is understandable if you're irritated over the

Reply to I want a Harem...Question on Multiple Spouses in War of Magic Elemental Forums

In the same way as some factions allow to have women warriors, I think some other faction may allow multiple wives or concubines to produce more children, may be with slightly worse statistics though, because they would not get proper attention from their father. This could be interesting gameplay element and chose of your kingdom setup.

[quote who="Lord_JaJ" reply="35" id="2718792"]Agreed, for those that feel wronged consider this: once Blizzard and Bungie (two other companies known for their community support) had gathered the information they needed from the Starcraft and Halo betas respectively, they cut everyone off for weeks and or months before their release dates and no one said a thing because at least it was better than nothing. In this case one might have to wait at the most 96 hours without access

Reply to Other Games Stardock should re-make. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Another vote for Dungeon Keeper. Plus, can one go more hardcore than Dwarf Fortress? But still, Dungeon Keeper I think is a perfect game for Stardock - it is tight game that can be done with limited budget. I do not think Stardock would want to remake some kind of RPG such as Planscape Torment - it will simply fail in scope, plus, RPG scene is quite clouded. As for things like MoM and even Alpha Centauri, I think one can mod Elemen

Knowing Stardock, they are not going to spend huge amount of money on ads (and they probably should not, better to spent it creating new content) so, the marketing is probably their weakest point, being small company and concentrating on game instead, etc. So I suggest to all of us, who inclined to support this game to make extra effort to advertise this game to friend, to forum bodies and so on. Just make a post, here or there, make the game KNOWN, because most of the potentlial play
