Reply to How do you feel the middle class is being viewed? in Everything Else Sins Forums

I think the thought of the middle class is shrinking isn't exactly right. The middle class is still there but have to go through great lengths to remain there these days. In the 50's you could be in the upper middle class on one 9 to 5 income. These days families have two 9 to 5 incomes and some sort of supplemental income just to stay in the lower middle class. The middle class is being strangled and if not helped soon it will not exist. My opinion is that thi

The worst thing about this is if you try to unlock the other parts of the processor a couple years later and it is defective then you probably won't be able to return it under warranty.

[quote]shrug* Make it random as a quick fix. Either side should have an equal chance to get wiped out without a chance to strike back. =P[/quote] this would be a decent quick fix. maybe have a number roll at the beginning of battle to determine who goes first... 1-10 for defensive army and 3-10 for the offensive so that attacking armies still have a slightly better chance to hit first.

[quote]In v1.09, we are looking at letting the defenders go first. This isn't a "Final" solution to it but it's a fairly straight forward change that alleviates this a bit.[/quote] This will be completely game breaking. No one will want to be an attacker for fear that their army will be wiped out before a turn.. Think of it in multiplayer terms where every game is an automatic stalemate cause no one wants to be the attacker.

I don't mind the current interface but have a couple things that should be tweaked. 1. Even when i don't have any of a resource it should still be listed up top. I ran into a problem where I had farms but no food and couldn't figure out how negative I was since the stat isn't displayed at the top if you have none. Not to mention it took me awhile to even know about some resources(crystals) since they are up there and I didn't run into them for a long time.

[quote]Another idea would be to have initiative and have units take turns based on that, rather than all ove both sides taking turns.[/quote] This is where it needs to go. Of course attacking armies would get a slight bonus to their initiative. Of course it would have to be small enough so that fast units(thieves /small creatures) would be able to react before the attacker. Also higher level spells need to take time to cast giving the defender time to counter with a defensive sp

[quote]What about specialist magic schools ala D&D where selecting one school prohibits another? What you could do there is allow an Imbued Champion or Offspring to reach high level spells in their school of choice (over time), and only medium level spells in other schools (over time), and no spells in the prohibited school. This would differentiate the other magic users, and add a bit more strategy. [/quote] this would be fine except you don't know what shards you will have.

I am still getting the memory leaks as well..... I have 48xx card too maybe thats the culprit. Win 7 64 bit. One thing i notice is a couple turns before the crash that when going between the cloth and 3d maps strange things start to happen. Seems like the same zoom leak they had with Sins.

Another thing with this is not wearing clothes under armor. These heroes must suffer from a lot of chaffing. Not to mention how good it must feel for them to have bare skin against plate armor..... Don't get "it" caught in your chain armor either. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reply to Curious about quests and notable level in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I don't care for this mechanic in particular... If the AI researches Adventure before you then you never are high enough in level to go into any quest locations.... I like that it levels up the locations but you should be able to enter any of them regardless of your adventure level.
