Reply to Global Mana Pool Design Revealed in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think a system where the shards give you summon points separate from mana would work better. The Channeler would start with 5 summon points and you would receive 5 more for each shard controlled. The summons themselves would then be split into level 1, 3 and 5 according to their power. The level of the summon would also be the amount of summon points needed to maintain them. This would make lower level summons more useful late game since you would have

Actually the aug. 26 driver from ati is junk anyway. I hope stardock isnt trying to make that one work. When I installed that one I ended up with artifacts in 3 different games and had to rollback to the july driver version. I'm using win 7 64 bit ati 4890

Reply to Unit design is a toothless timesink in War of Magic Elemental Forums

It would be easy to spice it up.. You could make all maces/warhammers have a chance for stun. Have different bows... one with quick speed but low damage.. another with higher damage and a chance to pass through to a second tile but is slower and less accurate. The pike should also give you a chance to pass through to a second tile.(also like that idea of the spear wall) Also there needs to be more restriction on armor for what weapons you are using... This has

Reply to PCGamer warning in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I think the partial review was fair. It did mention that stardock is a great company with good support for their games as well as mentioning the problems that the release had. They did give a great preview in the august issue that praised the game so its not like they were out to hate it or something. I like pc gamer am still get bugs that break the game.. As in the game screeches to a halt after 200 turns etc... I do like some of the improvements they made though.. One exam

Reply to Whats the point with creating soldiers? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote]A was reading up on this, now that i know what to look for. As i understand it, when you make a "party" of soldiers, (lets say 4) that counts as one unit. So you can make many units like it and have in your army.[/quote]\ I understand this but I want to take the single units i have already made and then stack them later when the ability to make a stack is researched.

Reply to Is this where the U.S. is headed with Obamacare? in Everything Else Sins Forums

What it comes down to is whether government run healthcare would be cheaper. It should be for this reason.... In the private system you have insurance companies that want to earn a profit. The private run hospital wants to earn a profit as well. If it is all done by the government it is done as nonprofit which means you cut out 2 profit margins making the cost for the consumer needing the healthcare cheaper. If it is shown to cost more somewhere in a gove
