[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="98" id="2741234"] 1. I think in the current version and even if the combat mechanic will be changed the HP are too low to protect your character in the late game where a single hit can inflict 20 or more points of damage. 2. You are probably right, but my comment was aimed at the current version. 3. and 4. Yes i forgot that you can give your Essence to other Champions, but i think WIS and CHA should be not used only for Imbuing Champio

Your sovereign seems to gain XP for every battle your kingdom wins at a slightly reduced rate. I've had my sov level up numerous times from battles he was on the opposite end of the continent from. [i]Edit: Damn, Terra beat me to it.[/i]

I completely agree with everything Voqar just said.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="13" id="2741146"] But the sovereign is the focus of the game. He's *Me*, so to speak, in the game. He's the one going around founding a kingdom. He's doing quests. He's the all powerful magical channeler badass guy...[/quote] Yes, absolutely out there doing Quests, marching into Enemy territory? Not often. Kings were not commonly on the front lines, there are a few exceptions to this rule (for instance Richard the Lionhearted), but they were soldiers we

In actuality he's right though, the morale system [i]is[/i] pretty terrible, not because of what he was saying though. Example: I go into a battle, I have a CR of 55, the enemy has a CR of 64. The battle starts, I'm losing 5 morale per turn because the enemy is more powerful. Three rounds into it, I've done some fancy maneuvering and wiped out half of their force and taken only one or two (or even zero losses)..... ....I'm still losing 5 morale pe

[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="61" id="2740316"] The character stats could be better balanced. In my opinion STR and DEX are the most poerful stats, because they increase the Attack and Defense. CON, INT, WIS and esp. CHA are not as powerful.[/quote] You know after posting in another thread I've decided that I needed to comment on this. Your assessment of the stats is misguided I think, based on how you are approaching the game. 1. Str and De

Thanks to this talent and the bug that you can equip your sovereign with as many rings, kits and items as you desire, sovereigns can easily kill everything on the map without even touching any magic.

I have actually stopped taking the Organized trait because it's really Over-Powered.

Minor factions also don't count against the list of AI. There's about a half dozen of them.

[quote who="Eisenhund" reply="4" id="2741012"] Don't sign non-aggreession treaties.[/quote] I disagree with this. They can save you some worry. If you're about even with one enemy and want to wipe them out, by all means NAP with the person you don't want to fight at the time. That way you're good for 20-60 turns or so or whatever it is to focus on your enemy. NAPs in this game are not like NAPs in Civ. You can't break them whenever you want. What

[quote who="BlackRainZ" reply="89" id="2740991"] Is there really a reason for a post like this?[/quote] Anytime someone starts a post/statement with any variation of "Not to offend, but. . ." I immediately disregard everything else they're saying, because they basically just said "I am going to say something very offensive." I suspect I am not the only person with this reaction.

[quote who="arstal" reply="46" id="2739933"]One complaint AI-related from nother forum. AI dies in enemy territoy instant game over. You conquer city next to AI, AI soverseign does a suicide attack. [/quote] It should pass off through dynasties. If the Sovereign (AI or player) dies and has no heirs -- game over. If the Sovereign dies and has heirs, the Heir becomes the sovereign. I don't know if it does this, but it se

I agree with this as well, honestly. Well no, I don't agree with removing the option, I think it should give another benefit -- i.e. when Egalitarian have 2 units for every 1 in the pool of population to choose from as compared to if you weren't Egalitarian. I do agree with choosing the gender. Otherwise you have to keep exiting and re-entering and exiting and re-entering until you get the gender you want for a particular unit.

[quote who="searchforwisdom" reply="77" id="2721486"]Well my thread asking for help was just deleted so in my looking around I found this thread to be the most relevant to my issue. Long story short I had heard about this game and wanted to check it out. Didnt have a good idea of the release date, I actually thought it was in September. Today I was in a store, saw this game and bought it. I came home, installed it, and immediately was greeted with a box saying "the gam

[quote who="LeeOO" reply="30" id="2721477"]What is the difference between a pre-order and beta tester? I pre-ordered a year ago. I didn't really beta test, just loaded it up occasionally to see how it was coming along. The game is currently not listed as installed due to the last update, although it is listed on Impulse under my games. Do you pre-order guys not even have a listing for the game under Impulse? And Lokju, the real beta testers probably do deserve to

I realize people are trying to be helpful, but isn't it better to let Stardock answer this one instead of just conjecture and possibly upsetting or confusing the poor chap further?

[quote who="Archonsod" reply="103" id="2721131"]To be fair, 90% of the alt-tab problems tend to be Windows rather than whatever you're running. Another quality "feature" by Microsoft.[/quote] The only alt-tab "problem" that is consistently a Windows issue is the "alt" key sticking and requiring you to poke at it a couple times to remind windows the key is no longer depressed issue, and it's spotty, at best. A DX plane blowing up when it's trying to rebuild it is rarely

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="76" id="2720692"]I would be very surprised if the reviews of Elemental are negative. Very surprised. Elemental is, by far, the best game Stardock has ever produced. That doesn't mean it's perfect or doesn't have its share of rough edges. But it is, imo, the best game we've ever made.[/quote] Strong words from any developer. Very good to hear, Brad, very good to hear indeed.
