Nice screenshots dudes! I will post more screenshots later on today!

Well so far I have been enjoying this game alot, only had one crash and really the only issue I have is the lategame slowdown (which I see will be fixed soon). But what bothered me today was that two times out of maybe 15 tactical battles that I did, would get stuck. First few rounds went out.. then after there turn is done and it says MY TURN.. it wont let me move or attack with any player. I can move my mouse around ok and what not, but its like the SKIP TURN, ATTACK and MOVE d

The first few hours where the hardest for me. But a few days later I am now pretty familiar with the game. Only thign I need to improve on is using magic which I havnt really jumped into fully yet.

[quote who="Windexglow" reply="5" id="2742590"]8 AI on the smallest map on easy. I get lucky by having only 2 chokepoints between me and the mighty yellow empire. I close the left-most entrance as much as I can (to the point where I don't think AI would use it), and concentrate my meager defenses to the north. http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/5005/elemental20100829001739.jpg http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/9224/elemental20100829001729.jpg http://img20

Here are some of my early screenshots from when the game first came out (This was my first few games so I didnt know much at all haha) <

The Official Elemental Screenshot Thread So I thought it would be nice to see peoples adventures in this wonderful game Elemental. Feel free to post screenshots of you while playing the game. <span style="f

Yeah check all your cities. I was wondering where my two kids where and they where in one of my earlyier cities. My son got killed in a battle though, I was so sad [e digicons]X([/e]

[quote who="SqueekyRat" reply="19" id="2741358"]It goes down to the basic problem with the game's documentation. There really isnt any. This was a major FUBAR decision on SD's part. There are a lot of bugs in the game but having piss-poor documentation and an un-intuitive UI probably feeds into the whole unprofessional appearance to the release. I too couldnt figure out for the life of me (until 1.05) how to make a farm; or that (or how) to equip my hero with a weapon to keep them

[quote who="xaltotun" reply="14" id="2741692"]Agreed this is a very fun game. I don't know why some people are complaining so much - it's the best thing since MOM. [/quote] Hell yeah, best game in ages [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Im pretty much in heaven right now with Elemental and Starcraft2 [e digicons]:moon:[/e] Two totally differnt games, but im having a grand time with em both.

Im not going to review it till mid September. Why? Well I want to see what updates come and also its a HUGE game with alot of depth, you cant review it really quickly. I am really enjoying the game so far though, ist my type of game.

I agree 100%... The game is fun as hell and Ive only had one crash in about 20 hours of playing the game. Its soooo addicting! only issue I have is the slowdown in later turns! This game is epic fun!

[quote who="RogueCaptain" reply="79" id="2741364"]How did 1UP play multiplayer when it isn't even ENABLED! The screen shots are all taken from this website. Umm, is there a pirated version that has multiplayer LAN or something? The facts don't add up.[/quote] yup, I was reading the review even though I find 1ups reviews more comedy then anythign else... And what do I see in the review?? They mention Multiplayer.. like you can play it! h

Yeah it gives me an error when I try to upload a Avatar for myself ): I use firefox.

[quote who="Weidbrewer" reply="15" id="2741423"] Quoting katalist, reply 14 Quoting Weidbrewer, reply 11Okay...I seem to be extra special dumb with this game...what tech is it to get the caravan???? Cant remember 100% but I think its the Diplomacy or adventure reasearch one where u get. If I was in the game right now I could tell ya, but im not. Seriously? Wow. And here I've been researching all kind of civilization techs...you know, 'cause that woul

Awesome, when and where can we try these?

[quote quoting="post"] I wouldnt call it perfect, but its absofrakinlutely one hell of a nice TBSG, thats (turn based strategy game) for any of you that might still be wet behind the ears. Its been a hell of a long time since I have seen a game of this caliber come out. You guys at Stardock should be proud of yourselves. Im hooked, can't stop playin it. Keep up the great work supporting this baby, and you'll have a lege

Its easy..... Just click on the building people icon. If you want to build any kind of fighter or woker then jsut click on that icon.. if you want to build any buildings then click on that icon... Click on the city you want to build or train.. and then hit the button.

I you enjoyed MOM you will enjoy this im pretty sure. I was a fan of MOM and im loving Elemental, even with its AI and lategame slowdown issues. Get it!!

Wierd, saves fine for me. I just press ESC and then hit save and it saves. Wonder what it up with yours not saving ): Hope you get it working bud.

In all honesty.. this is the only real problem I have with the game. It slowsdown alot in later turns. I was reading on this forum though that they said they have found a fix that will improve FPS by 15FPS or something. Hope that means lategame to (:
