Jon, I hope working for Stardock will be fun and rewarding. People complaining about Civ 5 don't understand How a Large Corporation can Micro-manage a development team in such a way as to meet their Corporate agenda which is not what the consumer expects. I too have worked for a Developer (Non-Entertainment) that got bought out by a larger Corporation (S**) and changed our Products from Customer Centric to something Customers considered a Product Suite going for A+ to C. Don't

I was reading BlogtorWho and noticed that the new Dalek Design is for the Dalek Leaders and lot the regular units according to Stephen Moffit.

The Android model, especially the head reminds me of Ultron. Shouldn't the Cybermats have a Cyberman Head, see "The Next Doctor' for Reference.

I've played Xandar and Calis so far , I'll try Nym next.

I believe it has previously been stated that QA Release cycles run on Thursdays so with that Info. the Patch will probably appear late Thursday.

I remember QEMM386, I even worked with an Ex Quarterdeck employee in a Previous Job. I still have a copy of QEMM386 somewhere. Looking forward to what happens to Elemental next. Cheers Shaf p.s. Love the Book just started Chapter 51. I really like Xander, Gen, and Calis.

Just to add a little Humor to the Topic, Since I initially suggested the Sontaran race. Historically the Sontarans have been considered Toad-like (John Pertwee -3rd Doctor Era), lets equate that to frog Like and we now have a special Frogboy unit.

Currently the Destiny's Ember Character MODs available are Xander, Genica, Nym, and Calis. I've only tried to play Xander - The Character"s starting Race is Kraxis - I'd expect him to be Capitar instead. Also I'd expect his starting stats to have a higher Dex. and Speed. This is based on the Information I've gathered From reading the first 25 Chapters of Brad's Book. I'll Revise the Informationas soon as I'm finished the book and tried Playing the other Characters. &nb

Thanks Brad that's a detailed explanation on Specialists. I actually think the ratio of 10:1 might not scale that well for larger cities. A 900 person city will have 90 specialists, a ratio of 15:1 might have a better balance giving a population of 900 - 60 specialists.

I Just got my Second LE Package this morning, I was not charged duty for the First Package but was Charged for the second Package. The Charges were 9.35 for HSt and 5.00 for shipping.

My LE copy arrived today. It was shipped Sep. 3/10 so it took 9 Business Days to arrive in Toronto, Ont.

IF you're careful about where your first city is created you can adequately function with just 2 citys. Always Found a city near multiple resources, food is the first priority and mining is second. Don't research just 1 Branch, Start with Civilization, research until Level 4, Switch to Warfare Research until Level 6, Switch to Adventure research until level 4. Switch back to Civilization Research a few more levels. When all branched reach Level 10 Switch to Either

My games of Choice when not playing Elemental are Din's Curse and DROD RPG.

Having worked with both QA and Dev resources on Software projects I always bet on the Devs to win. All Devs I've worked with find undocumented features in the code. QA is another story, a normal QA person finds bugs, an exceptional QA Person finds Workarounds for the bugs, and even finds other bugs based on the code correction. Some *** Developers hated me because I could usually crash any program by thinking like a normal user and doing the unexpected.

I can easily think of a few other Races to add for Military - Sontarans and Ice Warriors.

For Win XP Prefs.ini should be located in the \\My documents\my games\elemental directory For Vista and Win 7 its in the \\Users\xxxuserxxx\documents\my games\elemental directory

I completed that section of the campaign at 1.06 I'll need to restart the Campaign to see if the message has be fixed in 1.07 , I didn't see anything in the release notes.

The Crystal mine is right below the iron mine. Remember to keep your Sov. stationed in the City until Crystal production is complete.

I rated the game at 7.0 on my Gamespot review.

It appears the game is using the native Microsoft USB Sound Driver and not the Onboard Realtek Audio driver. Check Alienwares's/Dell's site to see if there are any driver updates.

Currently there are no Campaigns even when you use the Destiny code. It looks like the Patches have delayed work on the mods, although I'm not clear on whether Bard or someone at Random house is writing the Mod. I wouldn't worry Although the Physical book stated the code was on the inside Front cover it was actually on the inside back cover. I haven't read the book yet, it's next far Charles Stross "The Jennifer Morgue". ( Part IT, Part James Bond, Part H.P. Lovecraft - the La

I've seen this happening since also, my Sov. has a movement of 7.0 but an only move 2.0 if stacked. It started happening in the last 1.06 hotfix.

Nothing in Ontario, when I asked Sales I was told that it was only shipped on Sep. 2. Due to the long weekend we probably won't see anything until Sep. 7 or 8.

What Class is your Sov.? Adventurers always start with Travelers boots. There might be a class/race restriction.

Talk to [email protected], when I asked they responded that my copy only shipped Sep.1.
