You can't actually lose at MOM. A lot of people seem to forget that. It's easy to have lots of neat game mechanics if the AI isn't required to use it. It is literally impossible to be conquered in MOM. Anyone really think MOM would get that free ride today?

Me thinks some people are too full of themselves. In the poll, https://www.elementalgame.com/journals , nearly everyone has rated the beta good to great. Yet, reading this..thread..you would think the game was in dire straits. What are the developers supposed to think? I would rate the current beta as good. There's a lot to do especially in balance and AI. A lot of the criticisms posted here would apply equally

OK, I'll bite. You say AI can't use it. Can't use what? What do you mean by unit diversity? There are units that move slow. There are units that move fast. There are units that do cutting damage there are units that have magical equipment there are units that are ranged there are units. What do you mean? What is meaningful terrain? I don't mean to suggest FE is right now the perfect game but I'm not sure I understand you.

I agree. I don't even like most quests because the rewards are just not worthwhile. I don't look forward to them. Getting some really cool unit would be great. I'd love to get a Darkling champion or an Umberdroth steed.

[quote who="Mortenart" reply="12" id="3067715"] Quoting CariElf, reply 11 Let's let newcomers come here and ask questions without bombarding them with personal dislikes okay? It's just my personal opinion, which as a paying customer for a product that was not as 'advertised', I am quite within my rights to do. FE has not been hyped, which is good - but I was expecting a little more for a game that is 76% complete. For somethin

[quote who="wbino" reply="112" id="3053597"] Frogboy you seem like a great guy...but you should not even be doing the AI. You'll have the same problem as Elemental..who going to tell the boss the AI needs improvement?[/quote] That would be tantamount to telling John Carmack not to work on the next Id 3D engine because he's the boss. How many expert AI developers are there in the game industry? Based on the games I play, not many.
