[quote who="yankeefox" reply="1" id="2870135"]no problem here, the game does seem to "stall" as it process all the housing upgrades. Maybe your already close to crashing and the program can't handle all the upgrades at the same time?. [/quote] Yeah, the game needs to be able to handle mass upgrades a bit differently. All those sounds played at once, produce quite a bit of lag for me too for a short time.
In last update, our heroine was trying to attack a well defended enemy city by all her awesome self, slightly overextending her capabilities perhaps.... .... Ah, whom am I kidding? She won of course. One enemy city down, power rating
[quote]it is the caravan-spam settlements that build my workshops and studies[/quote] I kinda made a house rule for those, so I won't city spam that much to minimize this (almost) exploit. Sadly, the AI always declares war against me, so I soon conquer so many cities that I'm soon the biggest again. :(

My strategy is to get some positive gildar income by getting 3-4 cities asap with trade caravans and high population. Then research armour technology one step higher then the AI has weapons and equip one heroe with them. Then I basically have won the game and start another one. [e digicons]:hrmph:[/e]
[quote]But am I right about my description of intelligence, that if you use for example spells from the fire book your intelligence does not matter at all?[/quote] Correct. [quote]Also that charisma only affects prestige of cities you are currently resting in?[/quote] It also lowers the cost of recruiting heroes a bit. All in all, the current stats for Sovereigns are imo quite poor, equipment being overpowered and all. I hope they'll rewrite the

Ah, it took me forever to find some time to continue that game. Let's see where we left off: It's now the 42nd turn and we've defeated Lord Relias, Sovereign of Altar in a very early rush, conquering 3 cities in that process. Thus I overextended myself slightly and we're actually in the red with gildar income for once (0.1 gildar per turn... scary :P ). So, first we'll start to build up our cities a bit to fix the money problem. Since in Elemental, people = money, we just need to make
[quote]i haven't played in a while (waiting for the the tac fixes), but I recall reading that SOVs, unlike heros, have no mininum IQ requirement to cast specific spells. However, some spells have their efficacy (damage affect) based on the IQ of the castor. So a higher IQ translates into more damage when spell is successfully cast.[/quote] Oh... and you tell me now? :p This is disappointing. Since the effect of strength and dexterity is kinda low, charisma isn't really neede

Played some game now. The AI was obviously outexpanding me (I'm slow [e digicons]:'([/e] ) and then Altar and Capitar declared war on me. That was in turn 120 or so. AI had about 6-8 cities each, while I had 4. What it didn't had though, was good units. So I built my 14 attack, 9 defense on Worgen Battlemaidens. Each city of mine built one of them and then I grouped 2 of them up each and went out, slaughtering about 50 enemy units in total and conquering all enemy cities of Altar w

[quote]#1 City Improvements These are trivial for us to add. And we’ve only started touching the capabilities here. * We can have improvements that require adjacency. That is, we can have a farm and require a second improvement be adjacent to a farm tile. * We can have improvements in which you can build as many as you want per city, only 1 per faction, or one per city level. * Improvements can use either 1 tile or 4 tiles. * City tiles that meet
I wanted to destroy a watchtower in my city. Doing that leads to the game locking up and it needs to be killed with ctrl,alt,del. No dump generated. Use this autosave and destroy the watchtower in the city to reproduce it.
