I realize its not the 24th release version we'll be receiving, but i'm a bit annoyed. This latest version...in the first ten minutes of play time the game has crashed twice and my first quest is bugged. I'm uinstalling and reinstalling hoping that'll help. I'll be knocking on wood and crossing fingers for the 24th! :)
I tried to exit to the main menu from a game I was playing and E:WoM crashed. ZIP: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8971392/Elemental1_00-2010-08-23T02-39-39-838.zip Debug.err: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8971392/debug1.err
Have three midnight stones on the hero, but the quest location just keeps telling me to come back with three of them.
[quote who="wjt47" reply="10" id="2722546"]I'm not clear on this. When I start a game with a large map, I get either one of the same two maps which have the exact same shape, same forests, same mountains. Are you saying that it's only the location of items within these maps that changes? That the seeds for the shape of the map, the locations of mountains and forests are fixed for game balance? [/quote] If that's true that's VERY dissapointing. hugely.
I tried to trade 3 midnight stones from one hero to the other via dragging and the game crashed. debug.err: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8971392/debug.err ZIP crash file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8971392/Elemental1_00-2010-08-23T02-27-13-411.zip
It would be nice to be able to trade items amongst units in a stack instead of having to seperate units from the stack to trade amongst them. As well it would also be nice for a complete quest to activate if a character is standing on the square and the quest is completed after they've moved onto the square. My example is moving my hero onto a quest location and then being given the midnight stones.

So I started E:WoM. A message came up suggesting I update. So I click yes. E:WoM closes and nothing else happens. Impulse doesn't update, just lists the game as "installed." I do not see an option to update(right clicking). So I'm a bit confused. Is this sort of a "we're setting up downloads for people who played in the beta in some length", but its not complete qutie yet? Confuzzled.

What time is the game going live on the 24th? 12am? Morning? etc.
[quote who="Tiberonmagnus" reply="11" id="2710790"]It seems like we all like the same types of games. I've been following V2 for a while now, still waiting on the reviews. Although, with WoM all other games are taking a backseat though. [/quote] Yeah that's what I figured. I'm the only person I know that'd play. alas. Ty for info.
[quote who="SumoX" reply="2" id="2710541"]I can't answer your first two questions, but if you're looking for another "4x" game, I'd say buy Sins of a Solar Empire. I think it'll have a different enough of a feel (heck, it's real-time!) that, even after Elemental is released, you'll still be interested in playing it. I haven't played it as much as I should, but that's because every time I start playing, I lose track of time. [/quote] How is the AI in Dominions 3? The one for Dom I
Does charisma serve any purpose for champions? Hiring other cheaper champions? In other words probably not worth putting points into? Same for your sovereign. It doesn't seem like, at least for the sovereign, worth it to increase charisma. Hiring champions cheaper is ok, but doesn't help later on. So thoughts?
To make offspring more valuable how about letting them start with 1 essence and take out "imbue essence" from spells?
[quote who="Rath3130" reply="2" id="2708552"]I completely agree. I found it to be rather irritating when my caravans would be destroyed (their location, be it in my own lands or not is irrelevant imo) by roaming creatures with a threat rating of only 5...To be able to assign a patrol to go with the caravans would be a nifty little feature, and perhaps a screen to show which caravans were destroyed. I've had several different routes leading to one of my larger cities, and some of the roads wer
It'd be nice if the combat animations were faster. I cast a spell and the animation sequence follows, but there is a delay until I can click something else again. The various elemental giants walk from square to square too slowly. Arrows fly way too slowly(and 60% of the time they're way off target even if they do damage to the target). Also it would be nice to have something like a "pass turn" button for an individual unit.
Memory fail. Only thing odd was a caravan after it had established a route and was moving back and forth by itself got attatche to another army and was moving with it. I realized after a battle it was in the group. It might have been the same space when I teleported the group. The memory fail happened after I clicked on the caravan after it was out of the group and moving towards, what I assume, was one of the cities in the trade route.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="3" id="2703501"]The final version has a lot more techs. [/quote] 'ts what I figured. danke.
[quote who="_Scooter_" reply="1" id="2703369"]King Arthur: the Roleplaying Game had some great flavor like some of this stuff, in particular for the quest paths. There were two spectrums (Tyrant/Hero and Old Faith/Christianity), and the various quests launched text-only pick-a-path adventure quests, often with 10+ stages. Different choices you made would affect your standing on the spectrums. [/quote] Too bad it was so buggy and the developers laughed and counted thei
Will there be more techs in the tech tree in final release? It seems I finish most techs fairly quickly. On a medium map I'll have three cities and most of the techs finished. I realize the game's more about less cities, but even so its too fast I think. So I'm wondering if the devs have mentioned(that i've missed) anything about more techs being in the final version? I believe there will be more spells and abilities. I remember reading that.
After i completed the quest to get the flute the message choice screen for that quest(to attack or not attack to get the flute) comes up after every battle. As well most of the screen is blacked out and the only way out is to press escape a few times. I tried to reload after i saved to see if that would fix it, but the game crashed.

[quote who="sabin126" reply="92" id="2702036"] Quoting TheBirthdayParty, reply 90 How do I go about running E:WoM in a window(windowed mode?) using windows 7? I don't have Win 7, but it should be the same regardless. You can change it from with the video options inside the game. From the main screen click on Options. Go to the Video tab. There should be a button that says Use Fullscreen. Uncheck that. Also, set the resolution to a lower settin
