Reply to Fallen Enchantress - Faction Differentiation in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Interesting. I thought Elemental didn't wanna go for the classic Good-Evil / Chaotic/Lawful route and stay with Kingdom-Empire none of which are necessarily good or evil. It's a bit of a surprise but I guess at least people are familiar with the good-evil concept from other games. But, Gilden is lawful good? Seriously? These guys love money and mining. It's been a while since I read Destiny's Embers but if I remember right Gilden's leader went into a

This will put the strongest magical character in the faction in every battle, metaphorically speaking. If you want the sovereign to cast spells outside his/her domain

[Sugg] Add gildar/mana increase/decrease to top bar in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Fairly simple suggestion really: Add the expected increase of gildar and mana next to the current gildar / mana at the top bar of the screen. Such as: Gildar 549 (+12) Mana 74 (-2) Also format the number green / red for additional effect. Seeing the expected increase right there lets us easily plan if we should cast that additional city spell that has maintenance without having to check if we a

Reply to WOW! THANK YOU! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I would also say that Maul is too powerful. I saw it on some monsters (weak-medium) that killed my sovereign and soldiers several times. I couldn't look up the exact effect but it is definitely too powerful. Also, is there some rounding bug with horses? I built on a horse resource which said 0.3 horses per season but it never accumulates. Is that how it's supposed to work?

Reply to WOW! THANK YOU! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I played for an hour and even as Beta, FE is many times better than WoM. More lively world, better loot and quests, better spells and tactical combat, actually different factions... Everything is more polished and better thought out compared to WoM. Looking forward to the release. Congratulations Stardock!

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity/Diplomacy v1.31 (Hot Fix) Change Log in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I know why it's there. I am just saying it (technically) should be unnecessary given AI players can ally with each other which is what this update attempted to achieve. AI players aren't at an inherent disadvantage compared to the human player except that they are AIs. Extra challenge is nice but extra challenge through a cheat isn't so nice unfortunately.

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity/Diplomacy v1.31 (Hot Fix) Change Log in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Thanks for the huge update! I still see the 5 second or so freeze (sporadic) when I complete a mission for AI even after hotfix. This freeze didn't exist pre-1.3. My guess is maybe the game is re-calculating possible missions after a mission is completed and that causes a delay? The problem of AIs only bidding on you for pirates seems to be (mostly) gone after hotfix because of the AI relationship bonus nerf. The thing i

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity/Diplomacy v1.3 Journal - Part 3 in Sins Developer Journals Sins Forums

These look very nice. I've seen some very nice changes in these three developer journals. What I am curious about is this: After these changes will the AIs finally be able to form long-term camps and alliances. As a player it is easy to forge good relations with the AIs but what I want to see is lasting alliances among AIs and common friends/foes between AIs. That's what diplomacy really means to me. Looking forward to trying v1.3. <p

1.19e - End Turn Doesn't Do Anything in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I don't know the changelog for 1.19e (it's not posted yet) but I had this problem in 1.19d and 1.19e too: After playing for 30 or so turns when I click on "End Turn" nothing happens. It's not a crash to desktop or anything (I can still do everything in the game) but "End Turn" has no effect so I'm effectively stuck. I did do Alt+Tab a couple of times during the game but I am not sure if that's what triggered it or not. Has anyone seen

Reply to Diplomacy v1.2 Preview in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Great news on the patch! Thanks for not forgetting about this game. I am mostly a single-player player so I was wondering if there would be any AI improvements in the patch. I am not talking about a complete AI overhaul but maybe just fixing / improving on some of the known issues. For example: AIs handling of starbases... Instead of blindly attacking, AI could maybe skip starbases and go to the next planet if it thinks / finds out that starbase is something it can't ki

Great Dev diary and thanks for all the hard work. Not having read the entire thread, where do we get these experimental .EXEs? Do I need to hang out at the channel at the exact time they are given out?

Show city housing status in the build screen in War of Magic Elemental Forums

It used to be that you could see the housing status of a city in the build screen before it was replaced by the building queue tab. One of my biggest annoyances is when I go to the build screen I constantly need to go back and check whether the city needs housing. If the housing status of a city was readily shown when the build screen is up it would prevent a lot of clicking back and forth. Thanks.
