Master of Magic - Implode's Multiplayer Edition

true, watching a wizard do this would be kind of not fun. of course, we can always simply create a spell called "summon ally" as an arcane, and have the caster who casts it randomly summon an ally of the same race as them... no wait... this means every human hero who could do this could po...

but wouldn't they need to classified in some section just so we can be clear on what effects what?

or would we just lump them all in "arcane"?

oh it's supposed to be an ant. I took this and just ran some burns over it. maybe I oughta clear that up a little... I can try to re-do the gnoll image as well. both were based off of photos of real animals, actually. the other one is an angry hyena. Yeah, I think it would be far easier implementati...

that's why I see this spell as a potential issue. once you start a precedent of summoning say, a spearmen, it's only a matter of time before we end up with spells that summon completely unique units. i.e. summon paladin. also, the convention just feels klunky and doesn't feel... right. unless... how...

that would be cool too. Of course, I think that would make the spell really hard to use for the simple reason that you have deal with what happens to the units after combat, where do the units spawn, and does it always have to be klackon. Plus, would the ability to available to other character types...

so how do you know how much each units is worth on the invasion scale? a flat calculation will not do here, as other things like spells will change that equation significantly. But at the same time, even a computer has limited resources on what kind of set up he can run with. this is where it can ge...

I'm not sure where this is at right now, but what if we were to again, use tags to define each resource, building, city, military unit, etc? The tag would pretty much designate their contribution towards a particular area or role. and based on these, we can calculate their worth towards a particular...

is it possible for us to filter out the bots better? these bots are starting to get pretty annoying.

hey, works for me. i just like the idea of the queen summoning in cannon fodder. they could klackon spearmen for all i care

hmm... still can't find a suitable creature for the Queen hero to call up from the ground... and seeing as I feel like creating some new uber-creatures anyway, here's a new unit Insect Swarm (12 figures) Upkeep 4 Attack 1 Special Attack Armor 1 Resistance 5 Hits 1 Accuracy 0 Movement fly 2 Special A...

that's... actually a REALLY REALLY good idea. maybe each new plane would also benefit certain kinds of magic in those planes. Of course, you could end up with the effect of each caster of each color instantly migrating to that plane to create his power base...

I like that concept. It'll basically make for an interesting planescape style game. But I think if we're going to do that, we should probably allow the players to set the number of planes available to them. while the core two should always be present, I don't think we need to have all planes availab...

really what you need are random events that are more window dressing than actual earth shakers. things like mineral short fall are interesting but you need to then allow people to balance it out with another event that allows you to discover minerals. and they do need to be random. If bad only happe...

well, the idea behind the race definition system (woohoo, I get to coin a term) is not so much so that the computer can randomly generate new races, but so that someone with the desire to add new races of his own can do so by composing a number of attributes together. Of course, the current tools as...

yeah, the thing about the heroes on my list is that they are game breakers. most of those heroes, once you've built them up enough, are so good that you don't need to play the rest of the game. it's just a matter of mop up.
