[quote who="charon2112" reply="49" id="2724074"]It looks like you're looking for a strategy guide more than a manual. A manual will tell you 'how', but it usually doesn't tell you 'when'. [/quote] Did you even read his post? The "manual" (if you can call it that) does neither.
[quote who="condar28" reply="47" id="2724003"] Quoting Mtn_Man, reply 45 Quoting jreynol2, reply 39 I would have to disagree with you there. It does a pis-poor job of telling someone HOW to play the game. It's a lot of fluff and not a lot of meat and potatoes. I'm not sure what "meat and potatoes" you're looking for, but I got a lot out of reading the manual. I sense an awful lot of elitism/fanboy-ism here... look, not e

[quote who="Werewindlefr" reply="2" id="2723712"] Elemental beta 4 was very rough and a lot of people were understandably worried that the final version would be a nightmare. I am pleased to report that they really did finish the game and it's in pretty good shape. I have to disagree with that statement. I think that a quite large number of people do not see the game's state as "good enough for release", including myself. I think it needs at least 2-3 months as it is. The base

[quote who="rossanderson48" reply="24" id="2723554"] Quoting Zargon0225, reply 22 I think (constructive) criticism is more useful for the devs than praises. Actually a good dose of both help. That way the features you like can be enhanced as well. Besides, the developers worked hard on this work and would like to hear you are enjoying the game as well. Damn straight you tell em Zargon.

[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="38" id="2723460"] Quoting jreynol2, reply 30It just needs some polish (which I know they will provide) but most of all it needs documentation. There's a PDF manual in the game's install directory but absolutely no attention is drawn to that fact. At any rate, it does a pretty good job explaining the basics of the game.[/quote] I would have to disagree with you there. It does a pis-poor job of telling someone HOW to play

I agree there needs to be randomized maps that work well as far as resource balance.

If this game can be completed in 12 hours then it doesn't have much meat to it especially on a LARGE map as he described. I expected to be playing out my first game for at least 4 days and that's at least 10 hours a day since I'm off. Did the ai even play? What about all those tactical battles? If he did it in 12 hours he sure did a lot of end tur
[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="29" id="2723340"] Quoting jreynol2, reply 28 I have no idea what gold does in this game. Seriously? Gold = money in this and pretty much every other game that features gold as a resource.[/quote] Obviously, but what do I buy with that gold? How is it used? Is gold the same as Gildar? etc. I know the answers to these questions, but guess what? A new player will have NO FUCKING CLUE. There is a severe lack
[quote who="rossanderson48" reply="19" id="2723289"] I generally prefer it when such polish is done *before* the release of a game When you buy new shoes do you generally polish them before you buy them or after you buy them and wear them awhile?[/quote] That has got to be the most retarded analogy I've ever heard, and makes no sense when you apply it to GAMES. One of the biggest issues right now is the lack of documentation. If they ca
[quote who="rossanderson48" reply="1" id="2723310"]A whole game finished in 12 hours first day? I think I'm gonna call bs on this one and that AAR is from some beta build you played earlier. You would have to know every feature, nook and cranny to be able to do something like that an even then I would highly doubt it. I used to put 72 hours into Civilization to finish it.[/quote] What are you talking about? He was playing sandbox mode.
Just a suggestion, these are supposed to be tutorial videos right? You keep saying things like "We know what that is" "Don't need to explain that"...Well, yeah you kinda do. I have no idea what gold does in this game. You're clicking through all the messages way too fast. Can you just slow it down, and actually do some explaining? Thanks!
One place I will agree with is the fact that right after they said "pre-orders are activating now!" They then proceeded to say "and it will take 5 hours." I mean jesus christ, at least tell us that BEFOREHAND so we aren't waiting around like idiots for it to be launched, only to find out we won't be able to download it for another 5 hours.
[quote who="HydrogenHuman" reply="29" id="2721726"]I pre-ordered the game 1 to 2 days ago on Impulse, but I don't see it available yet. Will it come up once you guys launch the game 1 hour from now?[/quote] This question has been answered about 4 thousand times.

I think we all just would like an ETA, since the timeline they provided has come and gone. I'm not angry or frustrated in any way, just excited =) Anyone who is getting upset needs to relax, like someone else said, it was a nice surprise when Brad said we may be getting it early, but if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. please for the love of god let it happen
I'm still hoping we get it today, but it isn't looking good [e digicons]:'([/e]
