Special spouse as rare quest reward in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Seeing as your children take up traits of their parents in this game wouldnt it be interesting if it was possible to marry rare/powerful creatures through special rare quests? This could result in some very unique and powerful offspring. If too powerful you could limit it to having one child before the creature goes on its way, perhaps even illegitimate if youre already married etc. In short, i want a two headed, ten armed, half troll son!

Reply to Elemental: How game mechanics evolve (long) in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

If you have an unlimited storage capacity it might be good idea to have npc merchants or somthing you can sell excess stuff to. For example in a really long game where you have a resource you dont use, you could end up with a massive useless stockpile. Also this could go into more depth, for example if you kept selling him horses, it could drive the price of horses down, and if other people buy horses from him the price may rise etc. Creating a market independent of direc

Reply to Elemental: How game mechanics evolve (long) in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Personally i like the idea of not having horses meaning i cant build horses. I like how it works in civ 4, encourages you to work with what youve got, forcing you to do somthing different to the last game. Its very easy in these kind of games to develop a certain way of playing that quickly makes replaying boring. So long as you dont end up with no special resources at all then youre never screwed. Hopefully the maps will be generated in such a way that if you dont have horses

Reply to Release the Kraken!! in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I do like the idea of semi/un-controllable super summons. Although they wouldnt have to spells they could come from quests etc too. Big monsters are cool, and there's the "oh crap" factor if it starts to head back to your own lands. Limited forms of control for unique summons would be interesting, like maybe some quest where you find some cursed artifact. The artifact then summons some two headed ten armed giant god of destruction type thing half the map away. The an

I suppose it's just Human nature in some people to pick a side and forsake all others regardless of logic. Just look at Religion/Politics/Football Teams etc. Im sure steam get their share of unbased negative comments, ive seen lots (especially on these forums) I have steam & impulse, no problems with either.

First off (and kind of irelevent) you call that [e digicons]:pig:[/e] hot? Sexual relationships need to be on an even footing mentally otherwise all sorts of manipulation/mindwarping/advantage taking can take place. There is a BIG difference mentally between a 14 year old and a 20somthing year old. The fact that most 14 year old boys would be gagging for it immediatly puts them at a disadvantage to be manipulated by an older/wiser predator. Yes im sure some tur

Reply to Time Time Time. See what has become of me. in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Simultaneous turns are good for this kind of game, atleast they work well for Civ4. Time limits are good for if youre playing with random people so I can see why youd want it. Personally though i will mostly be playing with real life friends where people may have to go afk, or just be learning the game and so need a longer time. So i would really like the option to turn it off in the options when setting up a game. Lots of options i think is the key to

Not sure if some of these are advantages or weaknesses, apologies if some of them are just plain stupid :) 'Wildmagic' - where some spells occasionaly have weird effects. One time a fireball might Do double damage, or instead summon an army of chickens... maybe tying this in with the 'insane' trait would be good :) 'Stealthy' - When traveling alone the soveriegn is invisible/hard to find on the world map 'Lich' - The soveriegn is undead, giving resistances to deat

Reply to Civ 5!! Bad timing. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Ill be buying both no question, well technically ill only be buying Civ as ive already bought Elemental :) The only question is which to play first if they come out the same day! I think it will depend if i'm playing by myself or with friends, the civ games dont tend to hold my interest as much anymore as single player, so ill probably dive straight into multiplayer. With Elemental ill probably want to hit the single player as there will be more 'new' things to try out before

[quote quoting="post"]This surprised me. I just got my disk about a week ago and I am smitten. I have played 10% of this game so far, according to the in-game documentary, and I have spent 24 hours of non-stop enjoyment so far on it. I am talking about the RPG Dragon Age: Origins. You should understand that I am not a Bioware fanboy, although I DID really enjoy Baldur's Gate 2. I despised Neverwinter Nights and Icewind Dale and have not played a Bioware game since. Boy a
