So the stability update will actually go live this weekend and not next week? Awesome, the 10 or so turns I get to play before a fatal error, blue screen of death, and system reboot are pretty fun.

Rare Materials and Their Application in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I was thinking about something Brad recently said "For example, with this system we could have all kinds of rare and interesting things that can effectively only be built once." I love the general idea of this but in the example Brad gave he talked about getting plans for a Diamond Golem that can only be completed if you have a Star Diamond. I don't particularly

I've always been a fan of having a chance to hit / dodge, hope those two make the cut. I am also intrested in how exactly defense will work. Is defense going to be the enemies ability to hit a unit or a reduction to incoming damage. I'd personally like to see Defense = enemies ability to hit a unit and Armor = reduce incoming melee damage. With high armor meaning a unit has lower defense and high defense meaning a unit has less armor.

To briefly add on to my active and passive phase idea. Would it be possible to make tactical battles parallel and variable in turn length? Because if you could make tactical battles independent then players in the passive phase could conclude battles while the active player was doing whatever. The only problem with this is you could end up with a player being engaged in multiple battles. Since the player couldn't be in more than one location at a time the AI would have to take control of his

Well the way I see it multiplayer games will always have to have some type of time limit unless you were to make an option for real time. However there should also be times where players could take actions that wouldn't directly effect another players turn. For example if Player A is building a city on his turn perhaps allowing the other players to queue up build orders, movements, etc would help keep the game moving at a nice pace. So basically every player would have a passive and a

Reply to Unit design really demonstrates a key part of the economic system in War of Magic Elemental Forums

A very interesting post that brings up a question I've had for a long time but has yet to be answered. Is the only limit on what can be invested into troops a nation's infrastructure or will there be other considerations? So for example assuming I had the necessary infrastructure could I produce a single but immensely powerful soldier? A "super-soldier" if you will that any nation regardless of size could only handle producing 1 or 2.

I like the idea of governors however I dislike the idea of them being mandatory. An outpost for example I personally think wouldn't need a governor. [Quote] or, if these aren't available, the Succession system kicks in and the city is given to the a neighbor capable of handling the settlement[/quote] This statement concerns me to a degree. Do you mean that a city will be given to a neighboring governor or a neighboring country? The idea of having a 3 tier syst
