Reply to [IDEA] Auto Troop Design Option in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

[quote who="Teslacrashed" reply="3" id="2790927"]hrm. I don't know if this is a big enough deal to waste time on TBH. The game only pre-generates what, 8 or 9 units? the time it takes to delete the pre-gen'd units is so negligible. But I guess if the Dev team have time it wouldn't be an awful thing to put in. [/quote] More like infinite, because it is every time you research a military tech including the ones that do not have a limit for how many time

Reply to Memory Error in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I turned the frequency of autosaves up to once a turn in the options menu, so I do not lose as much progress. What I am doing at the moment is not too complicated, because it is just tiding up stuff that I mostly finished two months ago. The only real problems are places I stopped half way through a line of code and now do not remember what the rest was to be.

Maybe that should add a high level spell that creates it; after all it had to come from somewhere originally.

[quote who="kenata" reply="11" id="2790724"]I am fine without rivers for the time being as they would probably require a lot of work. Personally I want the influence rings to be effected by the shape of your city. I think that would have alot more interesting game play effects for alot less work than making interesting rivers. [/quote] To some extent it does, as there are buildings that have there own influence ring.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="111" id="2790703"]The mongols had pretty good bows though on horseback but were lightly armored. [/quote] They were, but from horse back (on the move) they were inaccurate, as such they were used to wear the enemy down until they could be defeated. It might be good to allow for items to have separate stats for units with mounts so this can be represented.

Reply to Lot of interesting stuff going on in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Mounted archers were effective, unless then enemy had archers that could out range them. And mounted archers were never heavily armored because the idea tactics for them were to hit and run, as they (like all archers) get decimated if then enemy melee troops get to them.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="107" id="2790643"]uber armored horse mounted mega archer.[/quote] The reason those never existed is because armor slowed the horse down, and the really good bows (longbows and the really powerful versions of crossbows) could not be used on horse back. And it is hard to aim from the back of the horse, but that might be hard to add in.

[quote who="Eiralin" reply="19" id="2790483"]Wait a while longer. Despite the Herculean bailing efforts by Stardock, it's still an incredibly spartan game insofar as features. And with the most recent patch, it's become a very tedious game to play (with insanely overpriced sovereign equipment and a potential trickle of resources even late in the game). I'm starting to regain faith that they'll pull a rabbit out of their proverbial hat(s) and polish this into a true

I think they should let you pick out how a unit's stats will grow when you design it, there by allowing it to better fill its role as it levels up.

Reply to Unit Healing/ Unit HP on level-up problems in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Another thing that could be done is have healer/medic units that help an army get back to full health quicker. AoW has the heal ability usable once a turn either in or out of battle that units can have. Because the easily obtained healers are slow, you have to chose between a fast army or one that can do a sustained push... which can lead to specializing your forces between the two. Unless you are undead (most of who have the ability to fully regain hp every turn and are nearly all sl

[quote quoting="post"]The game caught my eye a while back but when i heard of how bugged it was i decided to wait a while before purchasing it.

Turn length in AoW:SM is nowhere NEAR that long. [/quote] In one game I am currently in I own about 1/8th of the surface, about a 1/16th of the underground, and nothing in the shadow. The time it takes to do one turn averages 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how many tac

Only the kingdoms can build the structure to use the horses, empires use wargs, and you need the correct tech to use them and to build the structure to harvest them.

Reply to Kinda major problem with Burning Blade spell in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think its cause is related to some changes that were to keep buffs and debuffs from affecting the loot / xp gain after battles. Regardless, it does need to be fixed.

Reply to Memory Error in WOM Support Elemental Forums

It can only push so far before the the system / run time say "No, you cannot have any more memory!" and then it crashes. The cause is that some stuff that is not being used and will never be used again is not being recycled, resulting in the game eventually running out. (On 64 bit systems, each application can run in its own 64 bit address space, meaning each application theorectically could use more memory than most people's hard drives have space for files) This is more technical st

HP is one of the brands I steer clear of now (as is dell). As for all of the suggestions, I really appreciate all the feedback on a new system. I'm going to spend a few weeks virtually building several rigs in my spare time. I think I have decided on a 9800 GTX nvidia card as that seems to be q

Reply to Granddaughter with 15 base move! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think that when calculating how much essence to give the child, the game uses the parent's essence after applying the bonus from the temples, thus allowing for a big base number.

[quote who="illmunkeys" reply="3" id="2789667"]I believe the MP is simultaneous movement w/ countdown clock. So, while Stardock is putting options for a longer time clock, you'd never convince me to play an opponent that thought he needed an hour a turn. I think of it like Rome - you've made your empire so large, you have to choose what to micromanage wisely and eventually, you will begin to see corruption and crumbling within the empire.

[quote who="Stmorpheus" reply="74" id="2789645"]capturing the spy and killing them[/quote] Better: interrogate them. You get to interrogate captured champions in Lords of Magic, letting you see where then enemy is that turn (though it was buggy as I recall and after the first time in the game it would say that the prisoner has already told you everything and you get penalized for mistreating them).
