Reply to 1.07 fix shards in magic spell damage? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I tested a new game, with single Air Shard, and my Lightning Strike never did more then 15 damage (my Int number), so no 1.07 didn't fixed this. At least not properly. Still, as shown in one of the threads with proper fix, main reason why fix is not working is that game doesn't know, when doing damage, from whom to pull [UnitStat_NumFireShards] value. So if there is actually damage that gets over Int value of the caster, it's quite possible that game is using enemy shard number instea

No, they do not work, even with 1.07. But spell description in tactical combat does display correct maximum damage (multiplied by shards).

[quote who="DrGuppie" reply="111" id="2754431"] They definitely appear to be, since now my sov and his spawn can do upwards of 160dmg with fireball (I'm finishing a pre-1.07 game where easily 20 shards spawned, mostly air, but about 5 or 6 are fire). [Edit] I should clarify that I haven't seen them do 160dmg in one shot, but they have consistently produced more damage than they were before. The 160 is coming from the max damage info in the

Reply to Unable to build anything in capital city in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Ok, I checked the save, and it's exactly the problem I was talking about. City at north, due to resources linking to city walls expanded so much southwards that all buildable tiles for city at south now fall into less then 5 tiles into distance from the northern city. And, as game rule, you can't build buildings on tiles that are less then 5 tiles away from other city (counting from closest city wall). That's also why even destroying buildings in southern city won't free place for new

About issues no 1, 2 & 3. Peasant and Pioneer designs for kingdom races and kraxis use human (men) race as template, instead templates of their own races. And for some reason only humans can wear some of the boots, and they also get +1 to base attack. If you choose human kingdom, you'll see that same applies to all designs.

Reply to Unable to build anything in capital city in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Check this out: https://forums.elementalgame.com/393849 It's quite possible that some other town that became too close, blocked your capital from being able to build anything on free tiles (if those are 4 or less tiles away from other city borders). Also, wooded areas are of limits for buildings.

Reply to Understanding City Improvements, Resource Nodes and the Usable Tile Limit; Also Influence and Town Halls! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Resources will always get "walled", if they get near city walls, irregardless of prohibition to build buildings that are less then 5 tiles away of other city. . It takes around 10-20 turns (not sure how much exactly) to get level 2 influence around city. So if you don't need resource ASAP, building 2 tiles away is OK.

Suggestion: Exclude caravans and "guard" units from TAB/next unit cycling in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Usually, when you TAB, you really want just to find units you want to move in current turn manually. You don't want to move caravans, or units that you put in guard duty. Of course, it this is done in such way, you'll probably need some other way to cycle caravans, since they don't have icons at left side of the screen. Maybe new button shortcut or something? Current implementation is just annoying, because you need constantly, every turn, to cycle through all caravans just to

Reply to [Suggestion] Taxes? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Personally, I would rather have some buildings on higher city levels, that added to base gold/tech/arcane value. Currently, almost all are % modifiers which are pretty much useless for cities without appropriate resource. So, without proper resource, you are pretty much forced to spam lvl1 cities which give +1gold/tech/arcane/materials. EDIT: Maybe be able to build additional workshops/studies/arcane labs in cities of higher level?

I pretty much agree with most points said by OP. And it's kinda out of the blue change. I think it was added in 1.05hotfix, so not really that much time to test actual gameplay effects of such big change.

Since I usually, at start of the game, research some offense magic for my unarmed sovereign, so he can one/two-shot single creatures, without help of an army, I often came upon Darklings.

One thing that bothers me in the game, is lack of balance between default factions, and general bugginess of their traits. And most of them have so little points, if calculated through faction creator, that using custom faction seems almost like cheating. Let's see: Altar: Resourceful (3pts) Essentially a faction with no traits and some starting metal/materials. There is no use for metal early, and materials can be easily obtained by expl

Reply to How to Build Up Massive Arcane Knowledge? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Elemental is heavily resource based game. Things like research, gold or arcane knowledge, are really poor without city having some resource boosting it, since most buildings give just multipliers, exempt a few at 1st level that give +1 point in corresponding field. So, exempt doing massive lvl1 city spam or conquering/settling any territory with arcane temple, I don't see any other way of boosting spell research.
