Reply to Sorcerer King Beta 2 Dev Snapshot Now Available in Sorcerer King News Elemental Forums

I like where you're going with the minor factions. I wish I could talk to the cities, right now I can only talk to their units. I also wish there was more of a ramp-up in quest difficulty from them. I met Pariden and they immediately tasked me with reshaping some legendary crown from three pieces of legendary something found only in the legendary depths of legendary itself. They should definitely start out smaller - deliver 10 iron ore ingredients, give us a pioneer unit and so on. <

Reply to Awesome CGI from Interstellar in Everything Else Elemental Forums

@Timmaigh except now I know there's a black hole involved, I can surmise that it's going to be related to travel and maybe even time travel. Now I'm not just watching a movie about interstellar travel, now I'm watching a movie about interstellar travel which is going to have a black hole involved. A little bit of wonder and mystery is lost, and for what? Because you can't think up an actually decent title? Cauldyth has a good suggestion, or just a general thread about the

Reply to Awesome CGI from Interstellar in Everything Else Elemental Forums

Then again, there is very little point to putting any information about a movie's content in the title to a thread about it, especially before it's been released. That is, other than to ruin it for those of us who wish to go into the theater without knowing half the bits and pieces about it.

Reply to I reserve the right to be persuaded in Sorcerer King Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Very good point, Dr Franknfurter, but I think I need to explain what I meant a bit more. Thematically, I am in favour of having increasingly rare, artifact-level items craftable. But my issue with the proposed system is that of increasing marginal return from ingredients, ie gameplay mechanics. The return from a few ingredients grow the stronger the item is to begin with because of multipliers from champions and abilities. Two red gems which give me +4 fire damage is more beneficial than one

I like X ingredients to give Y bonus, but if you stack all this [quote] A recipe for a sword might require some iron ore and oils to create. If player has those items then they can select the sword to craft Then, based on their CRAFTING SKILL level (which ranges from 1 to 3 based on the sovereign they chose) they enchant it. The first level of enchantment is based on what magic books you selec

Reply to What's with sequel's having to be "ALL NEW"? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

It's Civ5 without the DLC which made it good. The "planet is alive" feeling you got in Alpha Centauri is completely gone. Graphics are surprisingly ok. It just doesn't have any feel to it, it's just a bunch of buttons I press to see the next thing go +1 and then it ends.

Reply to I reserve the right to be persuaded in Sorcerer King Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I'd rather the sorcerer king be set in stone from the start, scaleable in difficulty but not changeable characteristics. There ought to be a weakness I can work towards, or even create through quests. If he's just going to adopt to whatever strategy I choose what's the point of choosing a strategy?

Reply to Civ:BE -- beta stalled? in Sorcerer King Discussion Elemental Forums

I tried entering resilin into the tech tree search box but it didn't show me anything. Then, after googling the resource I found out I needed to build a paddock from a wiki. That phrase, too, showed up nothing at all in the in-game search box.

Reply to Civ:BE -- beta stalled? in Sorcerer King Discussion Elemental Forums

Game is a mess. My biggest annoyance is that I can't easily find out what the world resources are for, or how to exploit them. What do I do with resilin, or biomass, or titanium? Civ5 tech tree was streamlined - you unlocked a resource, then immediately after you got buildings for it. BE tech tree is a jungle - I unlock a resource in one part of the tree, and find buildings for it in another direction. I guess in a year or two, after people have studied this jungle tech tree, it will make

Reply to Would you really make choices that up the DC? in Sorcerer King Discussion Elemental Forums

It's called a trade-off. You might go for the choice that reduces doom counter by 1, and gain a handful of mana points. Or you might choose the new elite unit and increase the doom counter by 1. You may be interested in the elite unit because it will help you with the game more than the mana points would, and so you think that the doom counter going up isn't so bad.
