Reply to Elemental: Fallen Enchantress takes Stardock’s fantasy strategy game in a new direction in Elemental News Elemental Forums

[quote who="aeligos" reply="65" id="2866123"] Quoting Wizaerd, reply 61 If the expansion features all of "Vanilla" then vanilla is not obsolete. If the expansion features the same gameplay elements from the main Elemental game, then yes the vanilla game is obsolete, as in I'll never click on the elemental.exe to start and play the game. But then in a sense I'll have two copies of Elemental on my computer, which I'm not overly crazy about either.&nb

I'm a bit confused as to why this is going to be a stand alone expansion. So if I wanted to play a vanillla game of Elemental, I'll have to load up Elemental, but if I want to play the expansion, I have to start it up. SO in a sense I'll have two Elemental games, or will the expansion somehow register itself in Elemental so I only have to start up one to play both? Or will the Expansion feature all the same things from Vanilla, so in a sense makes it obsolete?

Reply to Fans of GalCiv 2 look here in War of Magic Elemental Forums

In the infamouse words of Bugs Bunny, regarding the OP... "whatta maroon" GC2 is not the best 4X game out there, and while I'm not a big fan of political correctness, I do kinda go outta my way to avoid using offensive terminology, and finally I am not you forum brother.

Reply to CHEATS!!!!! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

So I see that gaming gestapo has come out, trying to enforce their rules on the masses... Because it so very impacts them on how I play my game... Death to Cheaters!!! blah blah blah here's an idea, you guys/gals play the game the way you want to, and let everyone else choose for themselves how they want to play.

Number of turns important? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

So I know the importance of turns when building or training units, and moving around the map, but in the grand scheme of things or the big picture, does the number of turns matter? What I mean is, is it a point of the game to win a game in a lower number of turns, or does the number of turns that a game lasts not really matter? I don't have too much experience with turn based games with the exception of turn based RPGs on the DS. I have briefly played HoMM5 and a bit of Ci

Reply to Why Squares and not Hexes ? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

How ironic that the one big game this year that did make a move to hexes, and the public went crazy complaining about it. (of course, now that "that" game has been released, perhaps the clamor has gone done)... I remember when 2k first announced the move to hexes, the public almost rioted... And now here are people saying they want hexes over square... Damn fickle public... heh heh heh

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

I played and enjoyed Spellforce 2 alot, but it wasn't without it's problems. Not something I would play over and over again, but still rather enjoyable. I had tried Domnions 3 a while ago, and it was too much for me. Of course my exposure to 4x games at that time was fairly limited. It's only been recently I've gotten my head around Civ 4 (and I'll hang my head in shame, but it was Civ Revolutions on XBox that made Civ 4 more clear to me). I also played Kings

Reply to An "old fart" gamer says...."thanks" in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'm 45, and my first exposure to computers at all was with my Dad, who repaired IBM mainframes. All the programs were put onto punchcards, and we fed them through one at a time to run diagnostics. It was a big deal when we moved to 9 in tapes (similiar to reel to reel tapes). A 10 MB hardrive was a metal platter bigger than ourfamilies Thanksgiving turkey platter. When I was in the Navy, in the early 80's we had a guy in the barracks with a C64, and we'd sit there al

Reply to Magic question in War of Magic Elemental Forums

As a software developer, it's one of those skills I have in abundance. As long as the XML in question is properly documented. I find it kinda odd there's no way in-game to edit a created sovereign... I suppose I'll need to read through some modding discussions to find where the XMLs are at, what's in them, etc... Thanx.

Ahhh, that must be it, I think I forgot to choose one while creating my soverign... Which brings up another question, I looked and didn;t find any way to edit a sovereign once it's been created and saved. Is this true?

[/quote] There were no additional pages (or if there were, the were inaccessible since there was no little arrow in the corner, as I have seen previously. There were no tactical spells presented at all. And I even leveled up magic to level four (it was the only option I chose in the spellbook since there were no tactical spells presented).

I played a game yesterday, and had plenty of arcane knowledge points, but the oly spells I was given to choose from were strategic spells, no tactical spells were ever presented... Was there something I did incorrectly or missed?

Reply to Length of Games in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Then I must certainly be doing something wrong... I played a game up to turn 387 yesterday, I had three cities, hadn't even met the other factions, was wandering around looting all the resources and items that appear on the map with the Adventuring technology branch... The it started crashing and I couldn't continue on at all.
