hmmmm, I didn't notice this. My guys were still increasing hp on level up.

[quote who="lswallie" reply="32" id="2739679"] CITY BUILDING: Basically with each new city I just click every building I can build and plant it in my city. I don't even care. Cause there is no reason too. Everything needs to be built so I just build it as fast as I can. If this is the case why not just make building cities cost more and bypass placing buildings in the first place if everything will eventually be built? No fun. Give buildings more reason or choice. Right now I just

The game, in my opinion, is still fun, even though its unbalanced. I don't feel like I wasted my money, as even an expensive computer game is what? two nights at a decent restaurant? An unbalanced, somewhat buggy, but still fun game like Elemental is easily worth more than two nights at a restuaunt,. esp. if you don't score afterwords with some random match.com chick [e digicons]X([/e]

Yes, I love games like this, and am getting tired of yet another sci fi first person shooter, yet another fantasy MMO, etc. The fantasy turn based 4X genre simply has gotten no love recently. This game has great potential, I just wish they had waited until at least 2011 for release. As someone mentioned in another post, the game as it is now is in real beta mode. I bet frogboy feels stupid now for locking all those threads of people saying the game w

[quote who="NatakuTDH" reply="3" id="2739337"]Truthfuly the only only thing i really would like to see is the unit creator for monsters and such. Armor plated dragons and deamon wielding swords would be myth and legend. Maybe research how to make them in spell, proper facilities in war, materials in conquest, and of course diplomacy is the creature themself. Ir be able to... be other 'races' but i know thats more of a mod. Being dragon hehe. drake offspring...[/quote] &nbsp

so when you auto resolve a battle, your Sov or other magic user just uses some MP automatically for magic spells? Do you control how much magic they use when you auto resolve?

Did the last patch fix captured shards having no effect at all in tactical combat or should I not even bother with shards for awhile?

[quote]It's always better to move diagonally in a "square grid" system, because you are covering MORE GROUND. This is stupid.[/quote] Can't argue with this.

Thanks for addressing the issue Stardock.

Wonderful, another problem with the game. Now shards doen't even work? I really want to like this game and support Stardock, but it looks we were all right.... This game needed another few months at least. Off the subject, but Galactic Civ 2 is a great game, but there were quirks about it that really cause me agony with it such as the all labs / all factories strategies (that exploit bugs me - you feel stupid if you don't do it), also how over powered economic bonuses are, and h

If you can't take the heat of a dragon's breath, stay off the battle field.

I have to ask, how do retailers break the street date? Are they doing this just to be evil and ruin an indie developer or are these people just morons, or did you not spell it out in a contract? Can you sue these a holes? Something tells me that if anyone broke the street date of Starcraft 2, Blizzard would have made absolute mince meat out of the poor retailer like a zerg just going berserk on a cow just sitting there...

[quote who="Nathan E" reply="14" id="2728247"] quoting post + AI difficulty levels tweaked for more challenge at higher levels Is the AI going to play better at higher levels or is it simply getting free resources?[/quote] My understanding is at the highest difficulties, the AI does cheat by having extra resources.

[quote who="Jafo" reply="215" id="2728164"] If you take a substance that kills you, its YOUR DAMN FAULT and NO ONE ELSES. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Actually...you use it at OTHERS' risk....and that is NOT acceptable. Australia is the first place to have random DRUG testing for motorists.....and the sooner the rest of the world follows the better.

Legalizing a substance ends the crime and death. Look at alcohol. When booze were illegal, you had people tommy gunning each other over it. Now, with many drugs includding pot still illegal, you have drug warlords killing each other with AK-47s. The principle of legalizing is simple.. People need to be individually responsible for what they put into their bodies. If you take a substance that kills you, its YOUR DAMN FAULT and NO ONE ELSES. USE AT YO

[quote who="solidsmooky" reply="7" id="2727202"]Yeah it's coming today. Unless you're a socialist European then tomorrow. But if you're a God Fearing American then its today. [/quote] Kind of off the subject and belongs in the off topic political thread, but Americans aren't exactly so God fearing these days... We fear being out of fashion or missing the latest American Idol episode instead of God, whom we should fear (unless you don't believe in him of cours

[quote who="asadex" reply="6" id="2727190"]The day0 patch will come today [/quote] Otherwise wouldn't they have to call it the "day 1 patch"?

If you don't like the campaign, then make one. Lets see how your talents (?) compare to Random House.

[quote who="Krelian77" reply="71" id="2715678"]I've been following this game closely ever since you first announced it but never participated in the beta, I prefer not to play uncompleted versions. I just made my pre-order. Can't wait until Monday! [/quote] If I had to do it over again, I would have done what you did.... The beta damaged my brain some.

[quote who="Sushikawa" reply="72" id="2715679"] Who...what? Where was this discussion...? I was under the impression realtime combat was ditched due to technical limitations, not whining. [/quote] Funny, I am under the opposite impression... I wouldn't call in "whining" more like "lobbying Stardock".

[quote who="Ashbery76" reply="66" id="2715657"]The tactical battles from a visual standpoint look like a DragonAge skirmish and not a war between Empires,very weak stuff. What happened to this? Reduced 72% Original 790 x 494 [/quote] People wanted tactical turn based battles akin to MOM and not RTS battles.

is it possible to make creature units using these editors?

[quote who="MindALot" reply="10" id="2701941"]Of course you need tech. If you don't know how to properly burn down the city, then the citizens (of which your army is made up) will revolt. They require safe handling of all destructive materials before they will let you burn their homes and workplaces to the ground. [/quote] LOL, what? When you raze a city you are burning and destroying everything. You are ta
