I find 0.3750 to be a good scale for dragon sovreigns, so try som

In a mod I work on occationally elementium will be used to create gear that grants spell-like abilities to units (such as enabling the creation of a paladin unit that can use heal). Also the Spell of Making will be altered to give elementium when it is not a victory condition.

[quote who="cpl_rk" reply="44" id="2793267"] Isn't this pretty much the same as choosing a difficulty level, where difficulty ranges from easy (5% buff) to impossible (150% buff) ? I suppose a slider would give slightly more results: say you can choose 6%, but 6% is not that much different from 5% (easy).

[UI] Shards and Combat Interface in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

1. When you get too many shards, the indicator goes under where population is listed. I suggest placing the number you own over the crystal indicators, and limit the number to three or four 'crystals' show per shard type. 2. In battle when defending, the info card covers the units at the bottom of the list along the right hand side of the screen.

[quote who="cpl_rk" reply="42" id="2793254"]The problem is, it's not possible to create a challenging AI without buffering it (increasing its handicaps and bonuses). An AI is simply not capable of competing with a human brain on a 1:1 level. Even on ridiculous setting in the current game the AI is buffered a lot (800 hp catapult squads and 1200 hp recrutable monsters) although it doesn't seem so because it's so easily stompable even on ridiculous (just beat it before it can get this

And while that happens, it's running around, destroying your resources...

Not only is royalty over powered, but it is baddly named. If champions are going to have it then it should be renamed 'nobility'. The dynasty system is a mess that needs to be addressed, and if it is ever fixed then it could add alot to the game.

Reply to How would you rate AI ? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

It would be nice if AI cheating and bonuses / handicaps should be separated from the difficulty setting when setting up the AI. That way people who want an interesting opponent but are not yet up to facing a tough AI that is cheating can do so. I hope there will be ways for map maker's to interact with the AI via events in order to 'train' it in how to play that particular map.

It just doesnt work out. You need to KNOW the player. Have his contact data to continue the match at a later point etc. IMO Stardock shouldnt focus on random matches, lobby support and

I don't see the current fortification techs in the military tech category providing the proper "target" for these weapons.

[quote who="cpl_rk" reply="34" id="2792521"] Like I said, if the AI can't be programmed to use that spell (doesn't matter what spell it is) don't add it. It doesn't matter how much or little I know about programming. If the human uses something that the compueter doesn't, and this gives the human an overpowering advantage, then the AI is going to be easily beaten. Period. All posts about weak AI have supported this to some extent or another. Adding additional (unecessary) spel
