[quote who="Yliax" reply="185" id="3232234"]Honestly without Coop I probably will not play the game. I bought Elemental because it promised coop and an original game design but was never able to deliver on coop and it took months to even be a playable game. I still really like the concept and gameplay options/mechanics in motion for War of Magic but honestly I play games with friends as much to socialize and I do for the game itself.[/quote] Someone correct

We should have greyed out the option and had the mouseover say that, rather than just hiding the option.

An nice improvement, but perhaps I should wait to assist until the layout is final. It will be easier to deem the ease of use of the application and design the UI accordingly if you keep it a bit cleaner during development. 1. Be able to add objectives in any order and have them go to any other objective? 2. Add a game modifier to each quest objective (i.e. give money, units, items, health, damage, etc to units before a fight) 3. Add graphics to ea

Great blog Jon, subscribed. Re. Frogboy: Accommodating the hearing impaired is one reason I've generally thought of audio cues just as support for visual ones. However spending only a moment conceptualizing a UI developed from both angles (with visual cues supporting audio ones), does lead one to some interesting ideas!

A simple solution is just to make city enchantments like most other spells in that their power is related to shards instead of essence; essence indicating solely the number of enchantments that a city may have.

If you move an item to the first spot on a the 2nd or later scrolls. You can then go to the previous scroll and move the last item in the queue to the right. You will see the first item from the later scroll, then just drop your current item. Its a little difficult, might be more
