Kool! I see that it is possible to download Trial version of the games. How does this work. Is it the full game for test for a few days or some limited version? I would like to try Luxor.
Getting bonus items with preorders are a bad thing though :( Why should I order the game later when I know that others have a better game just because they preordered?? Give the preorders a discount or something. Dont strip the game!! I realize that this is not Stardock`s desicion. [e digicons]>:([/e]
I didnt notice the game being available in Impulse. I see that the price is about the same and the release is worldwide. Thats great. I wll have to wait until I get my new laptop later this autumn, but I will follow feedback from the game until then. Good strategy games are few and far between, but ofcourse Elemental and Civ V are promesing!!
Has anyone followed the development of this game? It will soon be released, but it has completely avoided my radar. Looks interesting though!
I would say that experience (in programming but also in knowing your colleagues) is extremely important. If you rebuild your organization all the time, then a lot will be lost in the process. The second time you do a big project with the same team it will be a lot more efficient, but not if you rebuild constantly. Sounds strange to me this, but maybe cause I am from socialist Norway (and no, socialism isnt communism).
Kings Bounty Armoured Prinsess Civ IV (as u mentioned) LuxDelux (risk game)
There is a setting in prefs that says something like show betas. Then it should appear. Your not the first to ask
[quote who="GoaGalneGbilski" reply="74" id="2681855"]We* demand wildlands! If we have a living world, large lands without player nations (maybe a few minor nations tho) yet many adventure locations, resources, and monsters! Maybe we could add wildlands in the select rival nations screen. As for instance: Ruin wildland, with undead, ruins and other fitting things. Swamp wildland, with swampish things Desert wildland, with a few but powerful set of monsters<br /
This looks very promising. Fighting over territories with influence is a great minigame within the game. Looking good!!
On a tip from and elf working at Stardock I have changed Fullscreen to 0 in prefs.ini and voila. That did the trick...
[quote who="CariElf" reply="1" id="2679571"]Do you still get this crash if you go to Documents\My Games\Elemental\prefs.ini and set fullscreen = 0 before running the game? [/quote] Hi! You there.... This helped my crash problem. You know the one I have reported since 8.02 (four versions). If I was next to you now I would have spilt a touch of my white wine on you as a revenge :) Thanks for the tip anyways. YAY MY FIRST REAL BETA PLAY SINCE CLOTH MAP!
Sorry - I just got a bit tired after putting out three files like this and getting crashes at the same place for the fourth time. I havnt played since it was clothmap only. Here ya go: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8523102/Elemental0_806-2010-07-10T06-52-43-328.zip
Might I remind you that the game is not finished. We are testing mechanics still :) The master quest will be more than tough enough when the game is all ready [e digicons]:andrew:[/e]
Thanks mister. I have not been able to play Elemental for the last 4 versions (crashes on clicking new game). This will help me with my withdrawal pains...
[quote quoting="post"] Greetings! Oh how I love this part of the beta. First off, you guys are doing a wonderful job getting us great feedback. There have been several crashes that even our internal QA team hadn’t found yet. [/quote] Hope you find my problem soon. Havnt gotten to play last 3 beta versions due to crash on clicking new game :( Still I have faith in the long term :)
I have had this for three versions of the Beta now.... I have made reports of the problems as well https://forums.elementalgame.com/386222
https://forums.elementalgame.com/386222 Same as last three versions of beta....
Scary to think of anyone actually watching survivor :)
[e digicons]k1[/e] I want to name areas too. Its a great idea. The Elven Pass, Valley of Thorgin ++ (I am not really that good on coming up with names)
The Master Sniper (I believe it is called). It was a crappy paperbook that I got for free. Listening to Panserhjerter (translates into something like Hearts of Iron in English) now as an audiobook. Written by Jo Nesbø. Best detective series I have read (excluding Sherlock Holmes ofcourse).
[quote who="TheBirthdayParty" reply="165" id="2674840"]I was wondering when the next beta will be out? I'm unable to load saved games and thus can not progress too far. (Not complaining, just eager! )[/quote] My game crashes when I clik New Game so you are miles ahead of me atleast. :) I havent played any of the last three betas :(
I was in the beta. It was ok, but not great. The buying card thing turned me off too. Never bought full version...
I have reported a crash problem for the last three versions of the beta. Last one in this post (with zip file link in dropbox) https://forums.elementalgame.com/386222
There is a manual?
[quote who="Jafo" reply="66" id="2672815"] Marx didn't win....so Socialism is [mostly] dead, but perhaps the idealism of Socialism might see him sharing 'luxuries' with others....but what tends to be the case is that simply everyone goes without.....all dragged to a [lowest] common denominator. [/quote] Why does americans mix socialism and communism? The whole of Western Europe is more or less a socialist society, but not a communist one.
