Reply to Ten problems with the balance in Elemental in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"] 4. Stack sizes [/quote] I think the stack size of 12 is fine. The one thing i started thinking about today was, what if only 1 stack was allowed per square? this would allow you to hold up defensive positions (choke points) and get a better idea of what kind of army is running around. As it is now, there could be multiple 12 unit stacks in a square, pretty misleading. (i'm using unit as the stack slots. ex. sov, 1 company,

i'm playing a game right now on novice and according to the kingdom report Umber's net income is -4772 gildar, yet the wages keep going up (right now it's at 4918). i had a gildar leak, was down to 50 gildar and couldn't build ANYTHING, yet the Umber are spitting out companies of troops with lord hammers. oh..also their power rating is 22885. If i speak to the leader, it shows Umber as having -501248 gildar, on the diplomacy screen. with that much money loss, those tr

I have noticed this as well. Unit was created, moved army out of city, crashed. reloaded autosave and unit was nowhere to be found and not training. Autosave was the turn before i left the city.

Reply to Tactical Battle Camera in War of Magic Elemental Forums

awesome. I can't wait to position the camera behind a monster and watch the arrows/spells come flying at it. [e digicons]}:)[/e] And also this: + Auto selection of the next unit in tactical battles should no longer occur if the game option for not auto selecting is turned on.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="1" id="2734305"]I think I saw an option in the settings to disable auto unit selection, but I'm not sure.[/quote] I saw that too. I like it for the map selection of units but if it turns off the feature during battles, I may just have to use the "next idle unit" shortcut more often. [e digicons]:P[/e]

Tactical Battle Camera in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Hey everyone, just wondering if there is a way to turn off the camera auto follow for arrows and spells? I unchecked "follow unit" in the gameplay menu but that didn't seem to help, I guess that is only for the map. The constant snapping back and forth of the camera makes my eyes bug out. also, is there a way to turn off auto select next unit? I see that it just goes down the unit tree but that doesn't follow how the units are placed on the battlefield.&nbs

Reply to Do you use an UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) for your computer setup? in Personal Computing Sins Forums

yes i use one, in fact i have two. one for my pc and one for my wifes pc. They are very much worth it. It can save you some money in the long run by not having to buy burned out parts. My area went through a period where there were daily outtages and it cost me a motherboard and powersupply. The ups software can shut down your pc safely when power stays out too long. It also gives your pc a nice power signal. It cleans up the electricity coming out of your outlet to give your pc

Reply to Game completely freezes my computer after 30-60 minutes of playing in Technical Sins Forums

couldn't hurt to check the vid card fan, make sure it's working, and clean the dust from it. my wife loves to play TF2 and one day it started freezing up on her. i did some investigating and found that the fan on the card died but by that point it was too late. the card was damaged. her core temp never got very high either. i've also heard about an nvidia fix. however, i have an 8800gt and have had no issues with freezing, even after a 6 hour stint.

Reply to Gaia Cresent - Poor Planet Start in Strategy Sins Forums

it took me a couple of restarts to figure this one out but the biggest and easiest to thing to overlook is that your planet is not your home planet. try and make it your homeplanet as soon as you safely possible. this will boost your allegiance up to 100% and you will make money faster. the planet starts with 25% allegiance. if i remember correctly, i immediatley made it my home planet and built the free cap ship to stem the pirate attacks i couldn't afford to buy out.

Explore Planet question in Strategy Sins Forums

if you explore a planet but don't find anything the first time (50% explored), should you pay to explore it the second time (100% explored)? how about for the reverse; if you find something at 50% explored should you pay to get to 100% explored? thanks
