[quote who="XPU1" reply="6" id="2859875"]Civ 5 is nothing good... Hiring members of the team that made the game... Not sure if it is a good step. Anyway don't judge... Just observe the results.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="1" id="2859807"]I agree with you, but I dread the next major Stardock release. At what point will their customers just start screaming for more knowing SD will cave? Regardless of if such a tactic is successful or not, I'm getting a headache just thinking about the forums around the release. This is sort of like a reverse bail-out.[/quote] I hope this is where the beauty of actually making Elemental modifiable in better, more efficient ways th

[quote who="Cruxador" reply="14" id="2859721"]So this now implies that there is indeed an other plane in the Elemental cosmology. I thought that was something that wasn't going to happen? And honestly, I don't really approve. I do very much approve of the gameplay aspect of this, though. Dropping this in the back side of enemy territory is sure to raise some very convenient hell.[/quote] What's wrong with Planes? Planes rock. More to explore. More to conqu

[quote quoting="post"] As I've said in the past, a one time 'activation' is perfectly acceptable to me. [/quote] One online activation is all it should take. I also don't mind Stardock's need to validate on updating, since I'm already online downloading the patch anyway. Although, there are many posts on here where Stardock's updates are failing, which if happened to me would royally suck. There is no sense in needing to prove the game's validity

[quote who="Brainsucker" reply="7" id="2858549"]I think heroes should act like the king in a chess game. He provides bonus to the group, but must be protected at all cost. I see that it is ridiculous to see a single unit destroy groups of soldiers singlehandedly. What is he / she? Rambo? a god? But it is only apply to late game, when the group of army is too big for a single unit to handle.[/quote] In greek mythology (and pretty much any hero-worship mythology), a hero was worth hundr

[quote who="HallowedBMyName" reply="35" id="2858300"] -like some people mentioned, tactical magic is just not there. Why cast spells when you can just attack with melee?k.[/quote] I'm actually of the opinion tactical spell damage dealing should be kept low. Mages shouldn't be popping off fireballs in the midst of battles. What they should be doing is causing catastrophic mayhem miles away.

[quote who="BlackRainZ" reply="38" id="2858335"]The idea of magic taking turns to cast might be something that would need to be added though.[/quote] There are tags for this in the XML already, so its coming.

Ha. One thing. [quote quoting="post"] Anyway, Elemental: War of Magic was released in August 2011. [/quote] I'm playing a game from the future?! Sweet jesus that rocks.

Is there any way to do things like this from a GoodieHut effect? For example, the ACP adds old Temples you can raid. What if on occasion, instead of dealing damage to the raider, it releases a catastrophe/benefit that affects the world (such as -1 food production)? Not sure if such tags exist to be used in GoodieHuts though.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="4" id="2856109"]I know, I've asked for most of this stuff 3-4 months ago, and not a word. I guess I'm the asshole who keeps hope alive far after I and everyone else should move along. [/quote] I'm pretty sure they've taken into account many of these suggestions. For example, they are reworking tactical combat and as of right now, Frogboy is hard at work trying to make the AI stop pioneer spamming/building poorly placed cities. Othe

Must have? It would be nice. However, the thought process probably goes like so: if you're auto-resolving, you want the battles over quickly, otherwise you'd just play them out.

Heh. I was wondering why the AI was skyrocketing in threat points. The AI really, really likes your guardian spell. The first capital I tried to take out had at least 10 guardians. Each of which proceeded to whack my sovereign for 20-30 damage a piece. It wasn't pretty. I increased cooldown to 999, which pretty much guarantees one cast/magic user. However, I could imbue someone, who could then cast the spell (probably making it to expensiv

Probably been reported, but searching this forum.... You can build on resources outside your area of influence. It'll subtract the resources and then remove the in progress build when you hit end turn. I didn't actually mean to click on the dithered build icon, and will solve this by making sure not to do so in the future...

Do you have mods installed? I didn't think the watchtower even existed anymore as an improvement?

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="2" id="2851302"]We all know Sovs can cast all spells, he is saying that you would have to have an int of 40 and hit twice to do enough dmg to kill the spider. [/quote] OP did say: [quote quoting="post"] By the way, i do not know if it is bug, but your sovvereign can cast teleport even if he has not enough of intelligence ... [/quote] ... so he obviously didn't know.

I'd suggest that if you continue to have this issue, post a save game right before a battle that can reproduce the issue into the forum. That way, Stardock can take a look at it. Also, I'm wondering if you were using a mod prior to 1.1 that is no longer compatible and may be doing something wonky.

There is no point to research further once level 5 is hit. If I was to hazard a guess as to why Elemental allows continuous spell research, rather than a coded stop, is to allow modders to put in level 10 spells if they'd like.

[quote who="LucidCon" reply="5" id="2847444"]Well, I am in the same boat. I started a game today and crashed before I could even start my 2nd city - guess what.... I am not even going to start a new game. I have been beta testing this game for awhile and I have never ever EVER been able to complete a game all the way through because of crashes. So sorry stardock - you had your chance with me anyways.[/quote] So, I checked all your posts. You say it crashed in bet

[quote who="Pantasd" reply="22" id="2843952"]i tought we get something bigger [/quote] A mod-API specialist dude is pretty big news. One of the things many of us are looking for with Elemental are people making awesome mods.

My vote is for a release of 1.1. Stability is a go for me.

After winning a battle, but the leader of the group getting killed, every unit in the army disappears. I have reproduced this by winning a battle with a remaining hero unit in which the leader falls, and by escaping from battle when the leader falls. I'll actually attempt to reproduce it on purpose and get a save file before and after the battle.
