a type of map I'd like to play in Galactic Civilizations III Stardock Forums

One of the major issues with space strategy games is lack of terrain obstacles - attacking forces can come from any angle. That's alright on smaller maps or early game, but on large maps with late game - with hundreds of fleets, the gameplay becomes much less strategic and a lot more chaotic. What I want to see is a special type of large map that is has tight clusters of stars which are connected to other clusters by wormholes, and the space between clusters being almost impossibl

this definitely helps avoid some problems with stacking damage and destroying everything before your opponent has a chance to do anything

Reply to Roads in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

If rendering gets in the way of gameplay, I want to nerf rendering. I always thought enchanted roads in MoM were too overpowered. They should have just been 2x or 3x speed of normal roads.

there should be neutral cities, like in Master of Magic

it would also be interesting to have some "light" units that are able to pass thru rough terrain (mountain, swamp) while "heavy" units are unable to enter those. It would create some interesting strategic situations

I think for game balance, there should be stacking penalty for invoking same spell multiple times. That way people are encouraged to use different spells each turn, or at least pick different one after 2nd or 3rd time. It would encourage variety and reward people who have wide arrangement of spells.

Magic System - Wish List / Expectations in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Hi, I got interested in this game when I heard someone is working on a remake of the old Master of Magic - one of the fist games of its genre. In many ways this game has done great, but I feel that the magic system falls short of what the original Master of Magic had. I don't expect the magic system to be same as in Master of Magic, I just want the same level of complexity and thought put into it. Here are some specific points: 1) th

I'd be happy with such new customization options. My only concern would be how they effect AI performance. AI should be smart enough to take advantage of such options and try counter the player better.

I think the AI takes the view that it rather have a non-enemy have the resources than the enemy. Frogboy, this would be okay on "normal" difficulty levels. But on higher ones, AI should seriously think who is likely to grab this resource after it destroys the starbase. If another AI can grab it, then ok, but if player can grab it, then not ok.

silly AI thing #2484 in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm sure there are many examples of AI doing something silly, I want to mention this one: When 2 AI players are at war, they often attack each other's resource mining starbases. This is good, of course. But, what they don't realize is that I know that they are gonna do this, I have my constructors waiting at starbases of warring nations. So when they free up a resource by destroying a starbase, I quickly take it. I maintain peace with both nations and get away with it just fine.

dynamic difficulty setting - possible? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, I like this game and all, and I try to play on "tough" and higher difficulty levels. In general, the game has 2 major intervals: 1) from start to med-game: usually AI is very strong during first stages. Unless I get some luck, I'm pretty much crushed. 2) med-game to end: either I am crushed or I'm getting way ahead of AI, and while AI players are not that far behind, they really have no chance of beating me individually. So, I was wondering if it'
