We can complain about how some people vent (repeatedly and with bad forms) but we should not deny what it's a fact: the game has issues. And I'm talking about technical issues. Gameplay wise, it's something personal. I don't think that there is anyone thinking that the game cannot be

[quote who="rossanderson48" reply="23" id="2734946"]Also just a note as long as you have 1 city available you're Sovereign will not die as the final blow will not be struck and your sovereign will wisk away to the safety of that city. So you pretty much have to destroy the entire population of your enemy to kill the sovereign. Take away all his/her cities at least.[/quote]Each time a Sovereign "dies" and scapes, loses some Essence. If he has no more Essence, he truly dies. [quote who=

[quote who="taltamir" reply="8" id="2734735"]@Wintersong: Should he have forced his adventurer warrior wife to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen where she is safe from bandits instead of letting her lead armies to battle?[/quote]Well, considering how the Dynasty system is currently implemented, you have the following choices: risk your spouse early to have an extra combatant (or channeler as I use her) but potentially being easier for her to get killed and let yo

Because you would have complained about something else? Also, were you ready to pay the costs of not listening to the suits plus end without game?

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="1" id="2734592"]I haven't, but given the 2-3 day estimate on priority shipping from USPS, either today or tomorrow hopefully [/quote]Which should mean next week for me. Hmmm At that point, I somehow would prefer a delay of another week (for mine, I mean).

[quote quoting="post"] Ok so I'm married, and my wife was killed by bandits, so how do I remarry? Seriously we don't have a kid yet, and if I can't remarry I'm just cheated out of a dynasty. [/quote]Your spouse isn't just an object you own. She is a living being with feelings and everything (well, that's the rumour). If you fail in your duties to protect your spouse, you don't deserve a dynasty. "Oh, yes, I'll marry you, oh Lord that left his two previous wives to ge

[quote who="Kadrasar" reply="4" id="2734157"]Awesome ideas, I actually like the ideas about succession. It would give the game a much more immersive feel if your sovereign got old and died at some point and one of his kids had to lead. There could even be a civil war event if two heirs are particularly similar in there credence to rule, You take command of one faction and your rival (AI or newcomer human player in MP) the other. Obviously you'd have to disable this sort of t

[quote who="snakepliskan" reply="80" id="2733267"]You forgot to mention all the bugs and lack of tutorial and instructions which make this incomplete game a total frustration of epic proportions. And the blockade in the campaign only lets you pass 1 time so you have restart your campaign or throw the game away in the trash were it belongs.[/quote]You are bitter and full of hatred, I get it.

Why do we need 595,226,436,876,238.75 threads about the same thing? XD Also, isn't against common sense to marry while the spouse is in some enemy range? Blame on you! :P

[quote quoting="post"]What a joke .i got ripped -off stardock ,thanks for nothing. [/quote]Considering your title, I should say that I don't mind you got "ripped off". I mean, since when cars = software? :P

Re-marriage (and harems...) has been asked since day 1 of whenever dinasty was included in the Beta. Unlike the game mechanic about the Sovereign death ending the game, this one hasn't been changed a bit. I suppose that eventually Stardock may change it but once they start working on developing further the dinasty system (that currently is "capped" from its original purpose, if my memory serves right).

Marry your spouse. Send him/her home. Don't let him/her leave the city unless truly needed. Don't let him/her get into trouble until you have four kids. Once you have four kids, the spouse is free to die or whatever.

[quote quoting="post"] I've been reading a ton of terrible things about Elemental, but it still look awesome. Is it worth playing right now? Is Multiplayer working? Is it fun? [/quote]Repeating things already said but... There are people with issues and people without them. I have barely issues and I'm enjoying it. It can be improved gameplay-wise but being a Stardock game, improvement is a staple. Multiplyaer, as already mentioned, was delayed (we hope it works? XD

[quote quoting="post"] Is there any chance I can get a refund for this game? It's incredibly bad and I think it's insulting how it was rushed out the door the way it was. Being in beta I probably should have seen this coming but now... jesus. What do I have to do to get a refund? [/quote]Make Frogboy angry. With some luck, you will get a refund and a ban. imho :P Or trying a mail to the sales department if you feel like it.

You know that there are some people so bitter and full of hatred (reading some comments, I'd say that it gets into personal area) that no matter what you say or do, won't change anything in their eyes... Welcome to RL!! XD Altough I enjoy that you are passionated about what you do and have no shame about treating them as they treat others (and they feel offended!!!

[quote who="cwg009" reply="15" id="2731026"]It might be a good idea to take ownership of your expectations and opinions with "I" statements, instead of throwing around "we" and "us" willy-nilly.

Pregnancy is not considered fun ergo it won't make it into the game (not any time soon, anyway). It'd easier and still fun to have a female Janusk for male Sovereigns. Or female Janusk for female Sovereigns.

Civ IV was unplayable (literally) until 1.51 (more or less if my memory serves me). I don't see this game being in the same state as Civ IV for what I can read.
