Reply to [1.08] Longbows cost 4 gold now in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Well, there is another suggestion in other topic and that is penalty for obstruction/terrain/range. I dont really know in the real world what is the big difference with a short and a longbow... but it could be a start to know why some army choose shortbow and some longbow. My tough about it should be that bow are bound with strengh. Lower str = shortbow. Higher str= longbow. Maybe more training with the longbow, I dont know the training time between long and short bow, but it should have a di

Yop, I agree with the "think outside the box". It's a strategy game. For me, it's mean: do what you can with what you have. If you can't go warfare: go magic. If you can't go magic, go Diplomacy. If you can't, go questing. There is 4 way to win a game... that's not a coincidence :).

[quote who="HooblaDan" reply="21" id="2774587"]One thing... I like the idea of having children that might be more powerful than you are. I mean, isn't the idea of children that they'll end up better off than us? So I always thought that having a child born with more essence than myself was cool. Maybe instead of 50-100 it could be 75-125? [/quote] Well it should be easily changeable in the xml file... I think. SD made this game to be easily moddable.

[quote who="1SuperG" reply="288" id="2774362"] What did they say, 80,000 units were sold? From my reading here you have what, under 2 dozen people signed on to your request? Even if it were twice that I wouldn't go about claiming there is a huge demand for this just yet. While I think it would be damn cool to have, I respect the publisher's right to create the game they can or choose to create.[/quote] Well, dont forget that not everyone post on the forum :). By the way, it's just a r

[quote who="DariasDruss" reply="256" id="2774037"]I agree somewhat RavenX. I like the idea of more troops and a better tactical system but right now there are so many other problems with the game that this should sit on the back burner until all the other issues are cleared up.[/quote] Well, I dont think that RavenX want it at the top priority, he and I (and the other that vote yes)want it somehow along the devellopment. I never saw that he want it in priority, just tha

Reply to What should the sovereign be? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Well for my opinion on this subject, I think it should defenetly be 4. It's a War of magic after all. So, I think the sovereign should be like your builder in Suprem commander: strong but not invincible. Also, you can specialise him into a good builder, a tank or a killing machine with the upgrade. Here, the upgrade should be something like spell that only the sovereign can learn/cast upon itself or a magical research that allow him to imbue itself with the shard. Something along those

Reply to 1.08 ETA? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Funny because all the game I bough from Stardock was in a bundle that include all the expansion. I never play a single game (well, until I buy this one) without it be at it's fullest potential so I can't compare... but those game are really awsome :).

Look for the 1.08 ETA topic :)

Reply to 1.08 ETA? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yep, I agree with you. If we could have option with quest too in the sandbox: that would be awsome. I love the idea of melting a giant iceberg with a massive fireball to clear a path by the way :).

Yup, thanks! Frogboy confirm it in a post a little sooner than yours but I really appreciate that you answered it directly. Thank you!

Reply to 1.08 ETA? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

For me, I don't generaly play campaign because of the restriction. I do play tutorial on new game. So, for me, it's all about sandbox/skirmish. Thanks by the way for the free expansion :).

Reply to 1.08 ETA? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I have a question, just to make sure I undestand everything. You said that those who buy the game before 1.1 will have the expensation free? Wasn't it before 1.3 insteed? Just asking :)

Reply to Elemental -- 'Epic' or not, supposed to be or not? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Well, the real question is: what does the dev had in mind when they create the fondation of this game? Like Nick-Danger said in his title "supposed to be" epic? (Or change Epic by large scale trembling earth shattering decision ;)). Personnaly I didn't read all the post out there in the forum. But, I didn't found a post where Stardock as a compagny (or at least the team that produce Elemental) speak of what they had in mind when they created it. It's hard to make a choice or make a comment on

You got my vote. To answer to Mtn_Man, it could be simple: in the RTS style, you can select a group of unit by click and drop your mouse. So, if you could select a lot of unit and make them move/attack at the same time I think the battle could be managable and reasonnably fast :). I don't know if you can do that tough.

[quote]That's a funny case of when something that is intuitive and makes sense is horribly wrong. As anyone who's ever been in any sort of fight or high stress situation can tell you, if you're in that kind of situation and are distracted by unimportant details like that, you're dead. While that may seem like it proves your point, it doesn't. Pretty much any soldier worth their salt doesn't think about 'OOO BOOBS!' or 'Aw... she's cute! I don't hit women!'. They think "Mother f- is pointing a

Reply to Hot female battle gear in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Well, I red all this thread so far (by the way, sorry for my english in advance) and nobody explained why sexy armor on girl (or women, no offense there) have the exact same protective value than their conterpart male armor? Simple! It's because the guys in the other army wont want to dammage her or will be too distract to hit correctly. For sure, it's not logic, but I thnik in a fantasy world this explanation could work :). But, to be more serious, I think that the option of BOTH realistic a
