Stuck on large island

July 13, 2010 4:50:45 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Got a game going yesterday, on a large world made up of big islands. Things were going well for a while until I noticed that there was not a single beach on my island, and no Earth Shards (which seem to be a prerequisite for the Raise Land spell). I was therefore completely stuck there. I kept playing anyway, just to practice town development and spell research, and ended up scoring a (rather cheap) victory by researching every spell.

I assume that this is some kind of bug, right ? Or are there other ways to get off islands (other than ships) that I don't know about ? Also, I had managed to research every spell available in under 250 turns. Isn't that rather short ?

You cant create airships with the summon boat spell then add flight to it like you did in master of magic...? Fear my army of flying triremes/warships.

Hmm, well I think there is a "summon boat" spell ...

 

but might that also require beach to work?

hmm either they need to remove the earth shard requirement (as it was in 3)  or make sure that when we play maps with  islands/multiple continents we always have a beach, earth shard  or both.

Perhaps shouldn't need an Earth shard if the land is within your influence??

As I see it, we simply need more ways to get off the island. I'd dislike a rule of "An island always has a beach" - but having Raise/Lower land requiring an Earth Shard also makes total sense to me.

yea, you'd need to summon a boat and then cast an e3nchantment on it that allows it to ignore blocked tiles and then it could fly.

WE, however, won't be doing that. What you guys do on your machines though is none of our business.

Won't be doing what??

Won't enchant summoned ships with flying?

Won't enable Blimp technology?

Won't make utterly trapped and isolated starting areas?

I forsee, that one day, when the community develops, you'll see the value of these different ideas on other people's machines. And when a mod becomes super famous almost so much so that it's practically it's own game (Fall from Heaven 2). That we'll "Make" you interested in what we do on our machines.

There isn't a Floating Island spell like in MOM?

I remember I used to take like 1 earth, 2 sorcery and the rest death just so I could get the floating island from earth and counter magic from sorcery and then all the neat goodies from death magic the bestest and most funnest class to play.

Zeppleins would be awesome.

 

Or spells for flying creatures that transport.

 

Or finally making it so that every island either has a beach. an earth shard. or somehow have a technology like zepleins airboats or some form of transportation for at least one unit or else that kinda sucks.

 

 

 

Although granted i had an awesome game on my own isolated island building an empire untill another empire came along wanting to take me but couldn't reach me *laughs*
