If you got the game and got capped, be sure to send Island Dog a message so they can fix it.[/quote] You can accuse me of piracy all you want, if that will make you happy. :) PM sent to Island Dog. Edit: Apparently that site (wincustomize) requires a separate login even though it uses the same user/pw as the forums. Who knew. Mayb

Thank you Heavenfall for putting the spotlight on this. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="235" id="2869551"]Until recently I wasn't aware that it limited downloads. I'll update to a secondary source as well in the future. I use wincustomize because that's what is linked from the elementalgame.com website, which means more exposure for the mod.[/quote] Fair enough. I just know the only stuff I've downloaded from that site is Elemental mods, and I've already met whatever limit they set. I was hoping to get the current version of Exp

Can I ask why you are using a site that limits downloads without a subscription? Surely there are better hosting options. As is I cannot get an up-to-date version without paying for it.

My favorite mod because the game cannot generate random maps: Elementerra: https://forums.elementalgame.com/395529 And runner up is a mod that makes the world less bland: Adventure Content Pack - this works with 1.11 even though it says it's for 1.1: https://forums.elementalgame.com/399062 Other than those, browse the Mod forum

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="7" id="2866486"]Agreed. Looks great on my monitor. Reduced 79%Original 719 x 539[/quote] Those of us not logged into Windows Live can't see your image. ;)

They show up if you add them to a map in the Cartographer, so they are working. The game just isn't placing them when it populates a world.

No new love for the dynasty system? :(

[quote who="impinc" reply="1" id="2864660"]Yeah, same with those of us who don't have the destiny's ember content.[/quote] Brad has said that the Destiny's Ember content will NOT be released to the rest of us as it is "owned" by Random House, not Stardock. At least I think that was how he put it.

The Titan's Workshop (the Best Buy content) is pretty boring - just another midnight stones quest with a weapon at the end that hasn't been rebalanced since all the stats were changed (and is therefore useless). Not sure about the Walmart content - probably gives you a discount merchant that drives all the other shops out of business. Ha ha.

[quote who="Veristek" reply="7" id="2864337"]Thanks guys, I appreciate you getting back to me and saving me from a "uh oh" moment. To clarify, if I just generate random world name, select Large map, and check the Epic, Minors, and Monsters boxes, then will the map be a flat grassland, or will it have random lakes, rivers, oceans, islands, etc? Just totally random map stuff? I'll check out the map generator. Does it work with version 1.1, or are there compatibility issues

The game does not have a random map generator (in the sense you are expecting) included. However, there is a solution: https://forums.elementalgame.com/395529

[quote who="Nenjin" reply="8" id="2862136"]I don't disagree it's annoying. The level of defensiveness about your Documents folder seems....silly to me though. [/quote] Yup. Very silly. :p What can I say. I was in a bad mood.

And this is Uncle Ted even nearer the side of the house, but you can still see the front.

[quote quoting="post"] I thought that one of the major selling points of this game was supposed to be modability. [/quote] If they want to stay true to this, they need to be more sensitive to the fact that people put tons of work into mods (ie. don't delete any custom content without forewarning), and they should be much more open about what changes are going into a patch including what files are or may be impacted by changes.

[quote who="Nenjin" reply="6" id="2862017"]It's done so if there's a conflict between old custom stuff and the new build, users don't come back to the forums reporting problems because of outdated content. Because Stardock employees have to investigate those claims, find the problems....and find out it's because someone is using old content. That's time wasted on a legacy problem.[/quote] So archive it. There is no reason to delete it. [quote]Half of game .inits are stor

Ok - I forgot I backed up my custom Elemental stuff on the 29th. Glad I was using good modding practices and making changes in another directory before copying them in to test them. :D I would still suggest warning people before deleting stuff that's not even in the game directory. It's called " My documents" for a reason - they are MINE.

I spent a lot of time on my custom races. To have them arbitrarily deleted with no warning pisses me off to no end. I'd love to know which of the fixes included in this patch necessitated deleting user made content. [e digicons]>:([/e]

Where did all my custom races/units go? Please don't tell me you deleted them with no warning.

[quote quoting="post"] I like in-depth strategy games, perferably turn-based, with lots of playing options, ... [/quote] Based solely on this, I would avoid it for now. The "in-depth" and "lots of playing options" parts are still not there.

This is excellent news! Congrats to both Jon and Stardock!

[quote who="Kestral2040" reply="78" id="2859916"] what's this about carnivorous humanoid underground dwellers? they better keep their hands off my Wookies...[/quote] Dude, it's cannibalistic . You are so NOT a geek.

This mod is simply incredible! With this, Elementerra, Heavenfall's expanded factions, and my own house-brand factions, I'm having a blast. Thanks much for all the hard work. Looking forward to future versions.

Here's who I spent a good chunk of my day with... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

[quote]Even if all the mechanics worked perfectly (they still don’t), it is hard to care about what happens to Kraxis or Capitar or Alderaan or Narnia or whatever.[/quote] LOL. That's why either the in-game story telling needs to drastically improve (call me skeptical that this approach will ever really work), or it's fantasy tropes to the rescue!
