[quote who="Kalin" reply="39" id="2772204"]I'm sorry, but the reason you're having trouble is because you're doing all kinds of things with no real focus. It's a bit like trying to play chess and start out trying to promote all your pawns because you heard that you could, but that didn't turn out so well so you send out some other piece randomly and they got slaughtered. Just because you know the rules and how the pieces move, doesn't mean you know how to play. That doesn't make the game hard

[quote who="cpl_rk" reply="43" id="2772399"] Instead, the AI should be handicapped favorably in order to balance the game. Using your analogy, I would rather see the AI be given an extra "knight" on medium difficulty, an extra "knight and rook" on hard, an extra "knight, rook, and bishop" on ridiculous, and an extra "knight, rook, bishop, and queen" on "impossible". "Impossible" is a setting I propose should be added to keep the game re-playable & enjoyable. [/quote]

GUYS--- I did not mean to start a flame-fest. Let me explore the chess analogy a bit. When I first began playing, I knew only how the pieces moved, that the Queen is very powerful, and don't get your King cornered. I was introduced to some books and practiced things like forcing a mate with rook+king vs king. Kn

Too Easy??? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I have been reading lots of posts complaining about how easy is to overcome the AI. I recently read the city spamming thread. I never analyzed how the AI works to the extent that I could have known that creating outposts dont cost any food and therefore I could create them in the open just to expand my influence. Building outposts near a resource is logical to me but building them in the middle of nowhere does not make sense.. I would have assumed had I

Reply to Ten problems with the balance in Elemental in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I would really like to sit down with one of you who find the game so appalingly easy to beat. I have used some of the tips I have gotten here (thanks!) but am still struggling. I started a medium map with ytthril as my only enemy and a new kingdom faction I created so that I could have good guys with archery. I began in an area with several resources not too far of

Thanks for the tips, but i have a new question. When I imbue it cost 4 essence not 3. Why is that?

My First Victory in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I played a medium map with a warrior type who came with archery at the start. My capital was growing decently and i was looking for other city sites. SO much barren land. Its like you get one area of resources for you, and one for the enemies. I only had te Altars (?) for an enemy. I thought things were starting to look up for me. CUT SCENE - well not yet I got a message about some no name facction destroying king whatsit. I won because some barbarian killed my o

THANK you FELIDAE and FEARZONE. I will try landing on the beach again. I thought there just wasnt a beachhead there. I *loved* the archer units I got in campaign. Question regarding imbue: I tried imbuing Janusk When I had 14 essence. It costs 4 which brings me to 10 and I guess I picked all the wrong tactical spells becuase he could not cast anything. Is imbuing really worth it? Arent you gimping your Sov by doing so? Since mana doesn't regen in the f

[quote who="Gabriot" reply="6" id="2762851"] Quoting kryo, reply 3 And then I cannot seem to do a danged thing about the WALL. The campaign story popups (re-readable via the campaign log) should indicate that you need to send some troops back around to the four cities, then reunite with your main force from the west side of the Obsidian Wall. Here is a map indicating the path to take. Sending troops to the fire shard at the final l

Reply to Disappointment [campaign spoilers] in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I will keep trying because I feel there are enough elements in the game to make it interesting to me. I tried playing on a bigger map (with only two enemies) in the hopes that things would not be too crowded. It drives me crazy. One start and there are literally a dozen resources in one small area. I run to a a spot near fertile land to plant the flag and get a warn

Disappointment [campaign spoilers] in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Let me start with "I love Stardock" Gal Civ is one of my all time favorite games. I don't follow game announcements or anything and so Elemental was a surprise to me and I immediately d/l it. Even after reading about all the initial problems. I am not a hardcore gamer, and I don't spend hours figuring out the be

Mr Vandenberg: ROTFL! Now THAT's what I call a COOL screenshot ! I look forward to giving more money to SD! Your games are high quality entertainment, great value for the buck, and the whole attitude demonstrated by the LACK of damnable DRM stuff is SO refreshing? Computer crash? NP! Just reformat,bring up my account and download the game anew! Thank you.

I puchased it, now how do I get it??? in Games Support Stardock Forums

I purchased Kudos via Stardock store (before finding it on the web elsewhere for $3.00 less rrrr) and the only thing I have is impulse. I see no place in the email or anywhere else to download my digital copy. Can anyone give me a hand?
