Mainly they just need some transparency as to how it's calculated (because right now, who knows?). And also some sort of hall of fame to track your scores so you can try to beat your record.

Reply to A quick note from Brad on Elemental in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Zazen13" reply="46" id="2744332"]Very Classy post. There's only two developers I trust implicently when it comes to long-term product Support...Stardock and Paradox Interactive. I've been a gamer since computer games were invented, the complexity has increased almost in direct proportion to computer power. I pay to be entertained. Some games can only entertain me for a few hours or days, for example shooters or limited scope adventure games, so I expect a very pol

Reply to [Bug/Graphics] No background or buttons in menu in WOM Support Elemental Forums

The problem is back for me today after working fine for a while. I was trying to adjust my video settings to improve performance and when I reloaded this happened. So far deleting screens folder not helping (although I'm not sure I'm clearing out the right folder since the directory paths you gave don't match up with what I have on Vista). May be a coincidence, but I didn't have this problem before patch 1.06 and before updating to ATI catalyst driver 10.8.

Reply to Transparent UI in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I am having the same issue. Your instructions on what to delete are unclear, they match none of my directory paths on Vista 64. I assume you mean the screenshots folder buried in the my documents area? Clearing that out didn't help. I also found a screens folder in the main game install directory, but it looks kind of important? Maybe I'll back that folder up and try deleting it and see what happens. Could just be coincidence, but I have never seen this issue before and there

Reply to [Balance] Capturing cities in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Another issue is the momentum capturing cities give you. Take your one doomstack, go conquer some AI cities and your economy just gets stronger and stronger with no downside. No rebellious people. No penalty for integrating the new city. Full influence right away. It's silly.

Reply to [1.06] Hedgie's Strategic/Tactic Monster/Sov AI Flawlist in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Here's some I noticed from my game last night (large normal map, epic pace, 9 ridiculous AIs): -AI sends pioneers completely unguarded so that I can wipe them out with my peasant scouts. -AI allowed me to send a peasant to burn down their mines and libraries even though their Sovereign's main stack was a few squares away. Took around 20 turns before the AI responded and killed my peasant. -AI sovereign went and took a city last night from me for the first time with the

Reply to Make Organized trait free in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think it should be made more expensive. I like having it in the game for those who want it, but it's a very powerful ability and should cost more for those who want to build a strategy around it.

Reply to City maxed at level 1?? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

You probably captured one of the minor faction cities, which currently can't be leveled up. Devs have said this could well change in the future. Personally I just raize them and found a new city of my own. Capturing one of the 10 major faction cities allows you to level them up as normal, although there is some weirdness when capturing cities of the opposite alignment (kingdom vs empire) due to duplicate buildings for each alignment.

Reply to Is there any reason NOT to build cities as fast as I can? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

The only downside to city spamming early on is that it's taking resources you could potentially use for other things, like leveling up your capital and building the more advanced buildings, building a decent early army to go conquer your neighbour, or even equiping your heroes. Generally though I think rushing to a good resource site is always worth it. However, if the city is going to be a filler location with poor resources there is no rush, except maybe if you need to block the AI from bui

[quote who="Deneidez" reply="7" id="2740337"] What are for example those technical buildings? Lets see what kingdoms have. School +15% University +25% Hostens Library +8 (Only one per game) ---- So with school and university level 5 city tech output without libraries would be... 1*1.15*1.25 = 1.4375 ... uhm? That is actually less than what 2 new outposts can do. <br

Reply to How to Beat the AI in War of Magic Elemental Forums

My way to beat the AI from a builder / turtler perspective: Step 1: Colony rush to 4 or so good city sites with a nice mix of resources Step 2: build some throw away garrison units Step 3: Continue to build defensive units whenever you have extra resources to spare while you are having fun growing your cities and teching up. Step 4: Ignore the AI, they will never attack you because you are defending your cities properly and have a bigger army without reall

Reply to So the game seems to favor "Glass Cannons"... (commentary and suggestions) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

The OP's ideas are all good ones. As for what they intend to do with tactical battles, I do think they plan to improve them. I get the sense though they want to make them more fun and engaging without adding in unecessarily complex mechanics. That's one of the reasons I like the OP's suggestions, they are all simple changes that will make the battles more interesting without being more complicated.
