[Reserved for] Part Two: Enter the Dr....- IN DUE TIME What will Vren find to the West? Can Viy run the city alone? Who are those "Redguard"

After reading a couple other AAR's I thought it was fun and wanted to do my own. This is my after action report with my custom civilization, the Lordaeron Empire (which I'd came up with long BEFORE playing any WoW games back in Civ2), my custom sovereign, a number of community mods, and my mods. Part One: Founding an Empire Vren Vilius b

Have you been doing weapons research? I'd say you should probably fire your science advisor... and Janusk .

I'm still getting the out of memory problems too. Wish they'd fix these suckers :( I'm noticing a large amount of lag when switching between the clothmap and the 3d game map. Thats when my problems begin. Otherwise, the patch probably made my game run about 33% faster. I like that, it's a pretty nice improvement.

I think it's because your sovereign is either smart or meditates. Kingdoms no longer want those "philosophical" sovereigns leading their nations. AWAY WITH THEE! No, it's a bug. They're fixing it... and hopefully soon! :D

Were you a Kingdom race when you captured them? Maybe we Kingdom people can't use resources that have the enemy's pre-req?

I don't think we can mod this sort of stuff in at this moment in Elemental modding. However, if and when we can this will be one of the first things I'll add to my " Abilities and Traits Mod ".

... and release 2 works with the update on my e Machine. ;)

Yeah, it's caused by being smart or meditating. They're fixing it. I'm also getting this crash when my sovereign selector comes up, before I can click a sovereign or create a character. Should it be crashing there too? Note : My performance is awesome now in my old savegame (yes, they work). Thanks, I can finally play this game after 150 turns outside of my clothy map.

Your character is smart or meditates, right?

I can confirm that the "Brilliant" trait (also rumored that "Meditative" crashes too) following this patch and using sov. creator also causes a crash. Will confirm Marlowwe's bug in a moment. Crashing Game: Merchant History Brilliant Trait Meditative Trait Stardock, release a quickfix, quick! How could you miss this one? Look

[quote]First, let's help you a bit: creating a custom sovereign with the Brilliant talent makes the game crash. Then a question: are the units in a stack comparing their roll to the defense of the opponent on an individual basis now? Edit: Meditative makes the game crash, just like Brilliant.[/quote] That explains things... almost ALL of my heroes have Brilliant or something. Thus, my game doesn't work right now. Time to find out whats causin

Thanks for getting this update out to us as soon as you guys could. I appreciate it! EDIT : Patch seems to have broken a majority of my custom content (units, races) and crashes when I click "New Game". Ironically, all my mods work fine and are not crashing. Crashes only happen when the "Unit" and "Race" are present. Anyone else having this issue? [quote]First, let's help

We still have a couple hours and Stardock is getting a reputation for late night releases. Sooner the better guys, please hurry.

Is it sad that when you said that this is the first thing that came to my mind: King Arthur : May God grant us the wisdom to discover right, the will to choose it, and the strength to make it endure. </blockquote

Good suggestions.

I read through this and enjoyed the Thief, Muris, who would become a King. You put a lot of work into this and was wondering what would happen to good-ole' Muris. Would he eventually become that "King" or would his society remain that of thieves and general villainy?

Sorry if that came out like it was all directed at you, GaelicVigil. It really wasn't and was more of one of those spontaneous rants that just come up. Apologies, my friend. I just want the modding in Elemental to accomplish the most it can.

[quote who="GaelicVigil" reply="97" id="2752541"]What I'd like to know is if this mod "patch" will become obsolete when the official patch is released later today. I mean, forgive me if I come off as rude, but doesn't this sort seem a little pointless? If Stardock is releasing at least one new patch every week, at best, these patches will be useless in a very short amount of times and, at worst, may conflict with official patches and just screw things up. Secondly, what

Unfortunately, there are some codes that just don't work and I believe that's one of them :(

Dude, my soldiers are gonna s*^% themselves when they see these guys marching around. Nice work Raven :)

Let us know if you get this to properly work. Everytime I've tried it clothing and armor gets messed up and sort of out of sync with the character model being either too large or too small. I've tried modifying the or whatever and it doesn't seem to help either. Then again, maybe I'm not doing it right!

[quote who="NetNomad" reply="14" id="2750993"] Basically I want everything on the City Card floating above the City. So that just looking at the map I can get a lot of info at a glance. [/quote] Frankly, I don't even know if this is possible right now :\

[quote who="Bonniegrey" reply="278" id="2751511"]I would prefer to just get my 50 bucks back. This thread clearly demonstrates that Stardock's ambition exceeds it's current level of talent. This 'project' is a major quagmire and I, for one, don't intend to hang around hoping they address issues in a timely fashion.Flame away fanbois. See how far you get in your careers if you charge AAA rates for inferior and broken products . [/quote] Yeah, you could become a CE
