Reply to [1.09n] Influence Bug on Savegame Load in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Yea, this was pretty iritating when it happened to me. I lost a arcane tower and when it came back to my influence I needed to rebuild it again to start getting a bonus from it.

Reply to [1.09n][Bug] Designed units cannot be trained. in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I was told already that this is not a bug (but a really bad design decision). Apparently you can design these units using weapons like Bows but you cannot train them until you build specific buildings that you need to research in addition to bow research :(

Reply to Pardon the super noob question..(re: heroes/champions) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Let me ninja this topic for a moment. What is stopping me from hiring all wandering NPCs that I ran across? You probably need to pay some gildar upkeep like for normal units, but is there anything else?

No 2, I had something similar happen to me as well. I was sure in tactical combat I would click on one square but my unit would move to another adjacent square.

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="4" id="2827829"]Quoting TorinReborn, reply 3I researched bows and designed a bowman unit but it would not appear on the list of units I can build. What is up with that?.The Archery Range needs Archery, which depends on Fortifications, which depends on Training. Ranged Weapons, researchable quite before Archery itself, gives you bows but you cannot recruit units using them due to the lack of Archery Range (or until you research it). I haven't been able

Reply to 1.1 Beta Impressions - After 5-6 Hours in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I have not really played before this beta patch (only a couple of hours of campaign). Cities: But one of the bigger UI problems I found now is the lack of next/previous city button. You can click on the cities on the top left but that is not as good as next/previous. Also once you are on the improve city screen useful info about that city is missing and you need to exit that screen to check those out and enter that screen again (a pretty

Reply to 109n startup, no food, impossible to found kingdom in War of Magic Elemental Forums

What I found out is that I could not found my first city on any empty space, but only on some (the option was gray). I lost 2 turns trying to find the one where it worked. Maybe this is a same issue?

If you want a good 4x game to play in MP with exciting and balanced battles I suggest you try Birth of the Federation game.

Laws are just a way for those in power to bully those without power. Usually led by greed.

Reply to Why can't devlopers just remake the clasics? in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

I own Starcraft boardgame and it is really cool game if you like competitive boardgames. As for remakes, Majesty 2 was "recently" made and was almost same as Majesty 1 (except better graphics) which was an awesome game but I have not heard it was such a huge success or anything. As for remakes I would kill for the Gorgon alliance (mentioned here) or Syndicate Wars remake. As well as MoM one (why I am here as this is as close as it gets to that game). &nb

If I can remember correctly Birth of the Federation had training facilities that gave your ships exp for spending turns at that system doing nothing/training. Maybe a similar thing could be done here. A building that gives a certain amount of xp per turn based on the heroes Charisma.

Reply to First Post, First Stardock Title in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Hehe, my story is the same, only I got in while they were still offering first 2 expansions for free :D I tried to play the campaign but after a few hours the interface and lack of polish just made me quit. Not to mention the story so far and quests are just so very uninteresting and boring while missions are easy and without risks. As for free play I am waiting for 1.1 before I start that.

[quote who="Philly0381" reply="201" id="2824079"]What always amazes me is that in any discussion or conversation on a subject that will involve just about anyone at sometime in their life that there is a need to use such descriptive words in describing people that have true different opinions. Now I'm not talking about the trolls and those that just want to stir the pot. It's no wonder nothing of great importance ever gets resolved or solved in any of out lifetimes.&nbs

I am sorry I used such words but I get angry each time I see people use word Anarchy like they have any clue what it means. In a perfect or near perfect world Anarchy would be the only way to for the world to work. As for complete moron, well I am not a native English speaker but I would say there can be more levels of moron and complete would the biggest one. But then my logic is flawed here as such a moron would not even be able to log into windows :D

What is also interesting is when you rob a bank without guns and steal lets says 200 000 $ you get a bigger punishment then stealing much more money through fraud. @Fuzzy: You need to find out what word Anarchy really means before you continue throwing it away like this and looking a like a complete moron.

All of that stuff is still coming, particularly an initiative based style of tactical combat, its just not a 1.1 thing. We are always looking for ways to make tactical combat more tactical, however, we also have to balance so that it doesn't feel like you HAVE to manually fight every battle to get halfway decent
