There will be plenty of time to test and we've waited this long, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've been waiting for six years. But the last few hours are

[quote who="Replicators" reply="11" id="3451951"] Quoting ozmono, reply 10 I think that's all any of us know. Apparently they had a disclaimer too as one of the other posters mentioned. So if worse comes to worse it may not even be today. I wouldn't sweet it though, I'll be getting some sleep if it's not out in a few hours personally. That's why I wanted an ETA that is more accurate.[/quote] I understand the anti

Reply to End Game in 4X in GalCiv III Founders GalCiv3 Forums

I think that if the game records scoreboards it acts as an incentive to finish games. Furthermore if said recorded scoreboards score higher for quicker completion of end game goals there remains some strategy even when you are destined to win. Rather than just steamrolling you start to think how can I do this quicker. Speed of completion need not be the only thing you could work on in the endgame to boost your score either. I know recorded scoreboards doesn't solv

Reply to [Crash] First turn after building city in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Well the wipe of my hardrive didn't solve my problems it just replaced them with different ones HOWEVER after I turned anti aliasing off I can play again. Not without slip ups along the way but it's stable enough to get an hour or two in.

Reply to [Crash] First turn after building city in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I was having similar problems. I haven't been able to test since 1a. I had problems in 1a too but I could still manage to play for awhile normally. I cannot remember if I was having the first turn issue in 1b but I've had the issue for awhile now. I've formatted my hard drive and will try again fresh. If it works I'll update my post here.

Reply to …It is time to discuss….DEATH!!!! (or at least combat) in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Firstly regarding flanking. If the mounted units or any units for that matter (mounted would be easier with better speed) manage to get in behind the enemy and attack from the side or rear than they should get a bonus. Even if you don't implement some kind of facing direction for the units it could still work with the units defaulting in a forwards facing direction. An attack from behind would automatically change the units facing though otherwise the recipent of the attack would get the same

Reply to The Mage Tower not in a City in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="SnallTrippin" reply="1" id="2391584"]I think it would need some drawbacks, like not being able to destroy it, only able to build one, and if an enemy captured it they could steal some of your essence. [/quote] I don't think you'd need much more drawbacks than an appropriate upkeep cost.

Reply to Troops : Quality v Quanity in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="SnallTrippin" reply="15" id="2391587"]Also I said "I fail to see how the organization has to do with the reduction in #'s," anyway I need to actually work a bit now. [/quote] Okay but I didn't say it would reduce the numbers I just added that to support quanity over quality. It's much easier to start running if 3k others are but if it's only 20 men v 2 I don't imagine the peer pressure/fear to have the same impact.

Reply to Troops : Quality v Quanity in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Organisation has alot to do with it. If they were in a formation it'd be harder for the aforementioned 10k peasants to overwhelm them. Even if it was on a large plain there would no doubt be exploitable terrain in a battle that size and you'd need organisation to utlize it. Now if they were all mounted knights with platemail and warhorses that's changing what I was thinking but still I wouldn't rule out 20 peasants depending if they stood there ground and what they were armed with ofcourse.</

Well as long as we are being picky I'd agree in so far as the knights were fighting as an organised army and the peasants weren't but reduce the numbers to something like 2 knights versus 20 peasants, my money is on the peasants.

I'm skepitical about X-Com successors due to no one really out doing the first two in my books. Anyways, how about a spirtual successor to lords of the realm 2 and don't say they made lords of the realm 3 if you know what's good for you [e digicons];)[/e]

Reply to Keeping your sovereign alive in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote]h And it will be only a last resort option like that because game over is a too high stake in most cases and whenever it actually matters that you use the sovereign, there will be a certain amount of risk (otherwise why even use your sovereign).

[quote who="Raven X" reply="7" id="2391497"] Quoting ozmono, reply 6 If there outnumbered 10-20 to 1 than the lesser quality units should win. Well in that situation yes, the lesser quality troops would win. The lesser would always win with a massive advantage in numbers. I left my post vague. I meant as a general rule with more equal numbers.1000 Knights verses 3000 peasants and I'd go with the Knights. 1000 knights verses 10,000 peasants and I'd go with the peasants.[/q
