Well to have a turn based game you don't need tiles. I personally don't understand that connection. I mean if I made a war game set in a 3D battlefield and said every army involved has 1 minute to move around, attack, and so on. Once this 1 minute had expired the game would pause and the end turn button would have to be pressed before the next phase started it would be turn based but with no grid. Just an example mind you.

As brought to my attention by another topic ( found here ) I believe changes should be made to prestige and population in addition to food and housing. I understand your point Tridus but I feel a significantly more meaningful system could be implemented that would both feel natural and provide greater strategic depth. Population - Population should control the total productivity of a city. With t

The problem Vieuxchat is once you reach the max population for a city (once all your houses are full) the prestige buildings no longer serve a purpose. And even if you lose a company of troops every city has some inherent amount of prestige that will more than likely replenish the population sufficiently before you need to train more. Now that I think about it perhaps there should be a city efficiency bonus that is based on both prestige and population. Where the higher your prestige

I hadn't even thought about prestige buildings becoming useless in the current model mainly because I never really build any of them except for the palace. Pyro you definitely make a good point about prestige needing some kind of other benefit (or a change to the current system) to warrant there use. On housing however if you destroy them your cities population will decrease which I suppose wouldn't be a problem depending on what you want to build. If you just needed a research city or market

Here is my quintessential problem with the current housing / food system. In this game I built 4 farms thus giving me a total food amount of 12 (3 X 4). I then built 3 houses and destroyed 3 of the 4 farms. My population however continued to increase despite my food amount being -9. <img style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://

After playing around with varies options in the Elemental video menu I've found a way to stop my BSOD & reboot crashes. Where before I had a hard crash now the game only crashes to the desktop, a noted improvement. As far as I can tell I only get a BSOD & reboot crash when I have Elemental running in fullscreen mode. This is even true if I leave the game at my native resolution 1680X1050 (Fullscreen). Obviously I'm not an expert programmer but If I had to make a novice guess I

As I said in another topic Well I would include the information from the BOSDs I keep getting while playing elemental however I cannot read any of the page before the computer reboots. I see the BOSD for about 1/15 of a second and once my computer is back to the desktop I don't get any kind of "Windows has recovered from blah blah blah" error messages.

I realize the game is still in relative infancy but I hope in or near the final version players will be able to better customize their Channeler and population. For example the hair selection is rather limited currently and I for one would like to see a wide range of hair / beard styles from a variety of cultures made available. I would also like to be able to adjust the height, eye color, and weight of my custom channeler / population. So that way I can make a short, gold eyed,

So the stability update will actually go live this weekend and not next week? Awesome, the 10 or so turns I get to play before a fatal error, blue screen of death, and system reboot are pretty fun.
