We need WM 9.0

[wapamingo]

We need WM 9.0 and the new magic system!!

Don't let RiFE beat you

Personally, I rather see WM 9.0 than Civ5

 

[tesb]

i doubt rife 1.4 will come before wm 9.0
based on the fact that most work intensive of the rife changes are still in concept while wm 9.0 is quite advanced. sephi just keeps adding stuff (that i won't tell you, yet).

i can't really play the betas, because my graphic card died some time ago and i will get my new one this weekend or early next week, but from what i gathered in the xml:
- the magic system is nearly done, all it is missing are some spells (i.e. just a bit of contend)
- the faith system needs a lot more contend (i.e miracles), but this too can be added rather fast

the only one that can answer the question is sephi though, since i don't know what more is planned and how far the progress with the ai code is.

i hope i can get the next civ i make (see the development thread) and proposed sheaim changes in before 9.0 launches.

edit: i would rather like that sephi takes his time, since i don't want to see the bug thread explode like in other certain modmods when a new version comes out

we need to patiently wait and let the guys do things well I tell ya.

that was petty... bing, between the hamster's ears

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

have no fear, 9.0 beta will have bugs too, it's just how it is with big revisions. although having a public beta out first should allow the real 9.0 to have no bugs hopefully

 

[scutarii]

NOW hamster rushes in and announces that 1.3 was and is actually public beta, only it's name was cooler

I agree. I even said so a few weeks ago. Our leader work is mostly in (well, DLL wise, ready to be merged), but the rest is not.

First off, that happens with all mods. More players = more bugs found. Second, the majority of posted bugs were either balance issues, or reposts of the same bugs. There are actually quite few unique bug reports. Third, bite me.

 

[JujZe]

Release it now!! I wanna play buggy and unfinished 9.0!!

 

[arstal]

I want something to hold me over until Elemental.

Take your time. Do the AI right. Don't let the other mods influence your schedule. Each main modmod has it's core competency - I just downloaded RiFE 1.3, and all the new features are really neat, but the AI is broken. To be fair, challenging AI was never RiFE's selling point, and what they do, they do well. But WM is about awesome AI and challenging opponents, and I'd rather wait a little while longer to play it if it means that WM continues to lead the pack in AI.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

exactly... WM may not have a lot of flashy stuff, but it has the fleshy stuff and that's what matters most. stable, good AI, fast turns, no micromanagement... makes for an excellent gaming experience

 

[Tarquelne]

Third, bite me.

Now now.

First: Hamsters are filthy animals. Don't be gross.

Second: All this sniping is unseemly. And unnecessary. Q: What mod is the best mod? A: Any mod with the Scions of Patria is the best mod.

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

but three mods can't be the best mod... or can they?

I never said either mod was better. They are different, and have different goals.

but three mods can't be the best mod... or can they?

Actually, four mods. The Scions are in Fall Further, Rise from Erebus, Orbis, and Wild Mana.

 

[blade117]

Fall Farther barely counts as it stagnated a while ago...(yeah I know they are just redesigning from the ground up...) But yeah, Scions are pretty great. I prefer the RiFE Scions in terms of gameplay, but the Orbis Scion have them beat in the art department (specifically Korinna the Red's model, it is epic)

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

I don't think FF is redesigning anymore, I think they stopped when Civ5 was announced. sucks, I know. xienwolf codes some damn god stuff.

They're working on their own game, and I know Tasunke is posting a lot on the Elemental forums.

 

[Tschuggi]

Are some of you also missing the spies? Espionage has always been an issue... Orbis is doing it quite fine. Is there a plan for 9.0 or at least an "espionage"-module?

Greez,

[Lord Katana]

no spies plz! I really love their absence.

 

[Folket]

I miss spies. Specially how spies work in Dune wars(might be from an other mod originally) where they get promotions.
