Although I was originally for camp 1, I was pretty happy with the direction things went. I still think camp 1 "economics" could be made to work, but I don' think it could be a tweak I think it would involve a major gutting and rework from the ground up, and really you would end up with a different game. One thing I had pictured which I thought would be fun is if you discovered "mithril" and started making mithril swords, you could click on an existing swordsman unit, choose to upgrade

I must be one of the lucky ones, I have read about lot sof crash problems but haven;t had them. My experience was that it was a solid release, and a fun game. My biggest complaint has been some tactics that the AI does (such as blocking mountain passes, it is too easy to get bottled up early game imo) and the pacing could use some work. And I am not sure exactly what was missing, but that "MUST play one more turn" magic just wasn;t there. GalCiv2 still holds more of that kind of magic for me

So in other words, modelled after the United States?

ah.

I suggest a "recast last tactical spell" button in the tactical battle UI. Often at any given time you are going to have a favorite spell that you will case over and over. Even better would be to have 4 or 5 hotkeys that you can preloae with your 4 or 5 favorite spells. You could either have a hotbar with the spells icons on it, or, failing that at least ctrl 1-4(or 5) and be able to map those to a spell. And I like most of the ideas so far here to speed tactical battles up a

I have to say, even though there are still some tweaks needing to be done, even the interim Day 0 build is more of what I was expecting 30 days out. Vastly improved and changed from Beta 4. I cannot imagine where this game will be +30 days. Yes the naysayers will whine about no MP for a week. Most of them will say they were justified in their concerns. All I have to say is my trust in StarDock was not misplaced, and I am VERY VERY happy! Looking forward to the full Day 0 tomor

I liked the "hawt chick" that you made for your leader. I swear all computer guys are 13 year olds who stay up and watch scrambled porn. Oh, sorry, I meant all of us male half of the species. [e digicons]:dur:[/e]

Is the late Sunday/early Monday download going to be the Gold version, the Day 0 version, or something in between? And thanks for the early access, even if it is only 1 day!

I liked the trailer actually. One nit that I would like to pick - when Elemental faded in at the end of the vid, the "corner-gems" around the "E" and the "L" were not colored. Seems like that must have been an oversight. If it was a style choice, my bad.

Congratulations!

Lol, cephalo, start your own thread to be locked! [e digicons]^_^[/e] Not that The Frog can;t take honest criticism, and I think we all agree yours are heartfelt and more or less valid concerns, but there have already been plenty of threads about the game not being ready yet - (May they rest in peace!)

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="22" id="2710241"]I think that means that most of us are more realistic. There's some wiggle room between mediocre and better than average more or less based on personal interpretations of that that means in context of features (for some, tactical combat is more important, others want crafted items, others want more stuff with seas). But it basically says that people don't expect a completely new game from beta 4 since the features are set, and are just going to g

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="19" id="2709893"]Very interesting, Denryu, and a reminder that we should have taken up a collection to get you a basic Survey Monkey account so you could have gotten a larger sample. Might have been more interesting as a pair of surveys for beta participants and forum-only folks. Question 8, if I'm reading it right, indicates that 8 of the 100 folks have not actually had access to the betas. (Also, the Skipped Question numbers just look wrong, if ther

I am going to have to hand-type most of the results as I did a terrible job on formatting this time around. 1. On a scale of 1 to 10, what are your expectations for the Day 0 release of Elemental? 1 - Abysmal 1 vote 2 - Very Bad&

[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="5" id="2708936"]What are the additional columns in questions 1 and 3 for? [/quote] Question 1 should have been omitted, as the content was incorporated into the second question. Question 3 I chose the wrong format for the question, and thus got extra columns. Question 7 - you are right, I should have had some "changes but cautiously optimist" and "changes, somewhat concerned" options. I can;t change it now as it would invalidate any vo

Hey everyone! I decided to do one final survey while we are in beta. I may do more post release. Only the first 100 survey takers will be tallied. The survey will end Friday at midnight Pacific Standard Time OR when we have 100 surveys taken, whichever comes first. Results will be posted in this thread. Survey is closed as 100 people have taken the survey. That was fast! I will post results soon!<a title="Take the survey here" href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/

That is an excellent preview! If the game lives up to that billing, Stardock has outdone themselves! [e digicons]\o/[/e]

In before the lock. Welcome back. Not. [e digicons]:thumbsdown:[/e]

[quote who="xaltotun" reply="4" id="2705439"]Sounds great. I really look forward to seeting the first "production" version. But 20 more days before the release seems like a long time. What would really be great would be if the beta testers got to see it slightly early............... [/quote] +10000000 ^ [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

I can't wait to see the previews AND hear all the goods from you!

[quote who="TheProgress" reply="5" id="2696370"]I'll maybe pickup SC2, when I can get all 3 for $49.99 [/quote] ^this.

Pretty much what I expected. Thank you for the response. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Will we have them on release day, or do they get shipped on release day, or will it be later? (I am guessing we will be able to download the Day 0 release from Impulse on release day if we had pre-ordered).
