Well, the question is: What is a "balanced" game? Last time I checked, you can only teleport in your AoE, not even outside your AoE. It's only "unbalanced" if you are defending, but let's see with the patch what the spell will do :).

Well, in fact in middle earth, magic is not common. Second, in fantasy base litterature or mythologie, there is some God/demon that can allow you to travel space and time (think about the three sister in the greek mythos who control the destiny and pull the string of life). In my opinion, if they can throw you back and forth in time, they should be able to let you teleport :P.

I must admit that this could prove useful for the dev and the CEO. You don't need a pool after that, just look at what the player think about this and that and make some improvement for this field.

Well, in fact teleport can be scifi and fantastic. Alchemy is considere fantastic but with today science, we can "transmute" material by adding some proton and neutron to existing atome or molecul. The only thing is it's cost so much and produce so less that it's not viable... for now :P.

I usually start with a sovereign with meditative and brilliant trait so I can start researching at turn 2 for magic AND tech. I build my city (with the study, arcane lab, workshop, watchtower and all the other that I can) and after that I'm settle, I build a pionner . I'm a turtler so I'm not aggressive and with this kind of setting, before patch 1.1, it's risky because city spamming is a "must" if you want to have a good resource/tech/magic research. I'm hoping that with 1.1, I'll be able to

Well, if you will buy this game anyhow, I suggest you to buy it now. The reason? You get the 2 expensions free instead of just one. If you want to have a good feel on what it will be, wait after 1.1 :)

I agrre with it too! Now, it's fun. After 1.1, it will be good. After first expension, it will be great and after the second it'll be awesome. The thing I like the most about Stardock is they commit to quality for a game and stick to it until it's a great game. I had bough Sin of a solar empire, demigod, galactic civilisation and it's all some really good game. When I heard about Elemental, I was thrilled because it's rare to have some good TBS fantastic game. I like disciple and HoMM too, bu

Miniature giant space hamsters would be better.[/quote] I think Hamtaro fit your description :). Also, it would be nice to have a stargate, so we can incorporate MoO in this game and try to conquer the universe! Or maybe use the engine of Spore and we begin the life after the cataclysm :)

New building: Sandbox. The sovereign's kids can play in the sandbox to learn the basic of the game and then be able to perform better when they grow up. Add one more trait to each children that play in.

[quote who="toadfly" reply="6" id="2803145"] Something related that I've noticed is that alliance and treaty request seem equally likely to come from the Kingdom or Empire factions. I feel like the Kingdom factions should be more friendly toward and inclined to treat with other Kingdom factions and same-wise for Empire factions. I'm not suggesting that Kingdom/Empire alliances and treaties shouldn't be allowed but they should be more difficult and expensive. [/quote]

And, some people are just really happy that I'm trying to write a good english even if it's difficult. Somebody told me once that my english was better than his french so he wont complain so much :).

[quote who="Fearzone" reply="124" id="2796289"]How about this to limit city spam: the level and size a city can reach is dependent on the size of its hinterlands. If you have a bunch of cities crowded together, the highest they can reach is, say, level 2, before the supporting hinterlands are exhausted. If you space cities apart some they can grow to level 5, the rationale being that it takes the production of a large area of hinterlands to support a large city, wh

[quote who="cpl_rk" reply="50" id="2794951"] Quoting Goldmos, reply 44 It would be very nice if the first part of this game was more of an immediate "survival" type game rather than immediate growth with pioneers. If the sovereign was forced (say) either to use his essence to create food resources vs using it to "imbue champions." This would be an incredible trade-off: Do I start my city spam at the cost of weakening my sovereign, or do I start my tide of conquest by imbui
