You run out of tiles after 60 turns? O_o Try building your city on an open field, both forests and nearby cliffs (even if they appear to be 1 square away, you cant build there). As for city spamming, there should be a -1 food cost to founding a city, so in essence if you want a tiny outpost with 1gold 1materials 1arcane/tech you should have to pay at least 1 food for it. This would also increase the further city levels by 1 food ofc, which imo is just a good thing. Slower expansi

As far as i can tell, whenever a city is creeping closer to resources (so that they will be incorporated inside the city walls / borders, sometimes the city walls / borders simply vanish. Seems to happen 50% of the time. Placing another building fixes it (since the city then recalculates the walls) Purely a gfx bug, but an ugly one :)
Well at least on my usb keyboard (swedish, and swedish OS, vista), after a tactical battle the Enter key (either of the two) wont work to end the turn anymore, really annoying.
The problem is, noone can enjoy or play these huge maps (or anything larger than "Large", without crashing like nuts) besides people with 64bit OS running 4gb or more. :/
I'll download this once the empires get a version too :) Dont want it to unbalance my gaaames :)
AMAZING JOB! PLEASE make the water, air and earth spells too. I BEG YOU!!!!!! :D
Im losing my interest in this game lol. I love it, im addicted once i play it. But god...... I'll just wait til its had its next 15 patches the next week, so i can actually play it. (yea i could play now and ignore future patches, but do you think i can resist? no) :P
Do what i do, play galciv2 until elemental's mass-patching has slowed down a bit :D
I have a feeling it will NEVER be fixed, and will result in this game slowly fading away into oblivion, regardless of how great it is or how modfriendly it is. LOL, im so pessimistic. Well, every other game i've played in the past that had such an issue (possibly requiring a huge rewrite of the game engine, which no dev ever bothers with), mass-crashing or ultrabad-framerate, it simply never gets fixed. I hope Elemental is different, but i'll have to see it to believe it.
[quote quoting="post"]I spawned next to 3 Old Growth Forest, 3 Lost Libraries, and the usual starting Fertile Ground. edit: Make that the above + 2 Gold Mines, another Lost Library, and two Iron Ore mines [/quote] So (with your edit). 3 old growth forests, 4 lost libraries, fertile ground, 2 gold mines, 2 iron ore mines...... That you just spawned next? How the hell do you fit a city in that? Your installation bugged.
diamondspider , never? I've heard of and seen it alot in other games too :( It depends on various things, mostly memory leaks or cpu-bottlenecks. If your fps isnt improving even when lowering the graphics thats a sign of the game using the cpu way too intensively, or that its just coded in a shitty manner (an example of that
lol what? Why is it even like that? You can wear 137 rings? lol.. What were they thinking.
yes, do want XD I can write backstories and such, make factions, sovereigns, make tiles, but I know little of asian history / mythology so you'd have to tell me what to make and show me reference, and I'd make it XD PM me if u want me on your team =)
LOVE it, i love the little "....IGNITE!! [e digicons]XO[/e] " effect on impact
I love em, definetly better than vanilla! But i think the fireball should more like, explode in an actual fireball rather than a chimney leading to a mushroom cloud :P
I agree with all of these! One thing i was dissapointed with on release was that all races are basically just humans, theres not enough fantasy here. I want dwarves, fairies, orcs and draconians. Making your own custom faction and changing the skin color helps, but not enough :P
Agree lol. Even some basic grammatical rules would be nice, like no more than 2 vowels in a row in each name, always a consonant after the other vowels, never XZY next to eachother etc.. Heck the easiest thing would probably be to code it like the japanese language (lol), just have chunks of 2 letters that form one sound combined. Kata, Rubiri, Borari, Deraka, Pydimi, Zuleda. Almost any combination you can think of is pronouncable.
[quote quoting="post"]There was an article posted earlier today on PC Gamer UK outlining some of the frustrations that the reviewer had with the pre-day 0 version of the game as well as a problem he was having with tactical battles. In the article, he quoted an inflammatory forum posting I made on a site I participate in called Quarter to Three. This is a site I’ve been a participant in for many years and many of the people I discuss things on there are personal friends
[quote who="Cathedralsquares" reply="2" id="2733248"]Save yourself a headache and turn autoturn off. [/quote] Doesnt fix the other bazillion popup-with-no-info issues :)
Err for some reason my thread isnt showing up O_o
Its especially annoying when the game thinks you're done with your turn (with auto-turn on), even when your main hero is standing idle with 2 move points left, and your capital city is wide open and ready for construction and training those new units you just designed. SWOOSH, its 5 turns later, brigands attack a peasant, thats all the popup window reveals, i think "meh, just a peasant" and click auto-resolve and it turns out it was one of my friggin villages, destroying it compl

I have WAY worse preformance in this patch than i did with 1.02 (or 1.05 before the hotfix, i think). Also i crash so much now its unplayable, before i could play for an hour or more before crashing, now it crashes even in the early-game.. Sigh, the messed something up.
/bump (hope all the crashlogs will be of use)
Still dont understand how they could make such a simple booboo in the faction editor, and LOCK half of it in the hotfix rather than just, fix it, which i myself accomplished in a minute (its just a single line that needs changing).
