It's outside the town, so you can't use the town build queue.

It's a little unintuitive, but if you select the NPC, and then change to their "actions" tab at the bottom left, there's a "recruit" button. If it's gray it will tell you why (probably just money). The adventure thing I'm not sure about, but your "adventure" level is not the level of a particular hero. First you have to research the correct tree, and then (this is a critical part I didn't understand until about 10 minutes ago) you have a *choice* of which upgrade from t

0-day patch drops sometime today which, among an extensive list of other fixes, addresses map randomization and interface. How well it addresses them I guess we'll see, but judging by the interim patch, it will smooth a lot of rough edges. Personally, I think a year is a little harsh. I get what you mean, but they're most of the way to a good, solid game. As you noted, it's already fun. The exciting thing is they will sti

[quote who="Balancer25" reply="3" id="2722429"]I think i got the email but i deleted it along with some others. Well as i have seen other people got the same problem i will just have to wait and see what will happen . Maybe it will come eventually . Do you think its prudent to send an email to the sales department to confirm the purchase?[/quote] It never hurts to have more information, but I wouldn't write the email until the morning (or... in 7-8 hours, whatever that is for you).

[quote who="solidsmooky" reply="32" id="2722358"]Just got my email. I didn't get an order confirmation and pre-ordered last week. I am downloading it now [/quote] Yay! Congrats, and thanks for the info. [e digicons]:')[/e] :edit: Ah HAH! I am a boxed preorder, so that's the difference. Thanks again!

Maybe we should start a support group? Hello, my name is Kurio, and I can't download Elemental yet.

[quote who="solidsmooky" reply="30" id="2722335"]Sigh.. it's like a draft. A friend told me he got his and he ordered August 1st. Did that many people order in the last week?[/quote] My secret fear is that the people who did not get automated order confirmation emails will somehow not get their payments processed correctly. I got in touch with sales, and they confirmed they had my order (number and all), but the fact that I didn't get the automated email makes me a little nervous.</p

I'm very upset there aren't more dinosaurs. I guess they just don't care about their customers enough to put them in. Oh well...

Probably the volume of preorders increased significantly after the release email, and especially in the last few days, so it will probably take a while yet for those of us who ordered more recently. *pokes email*

[quote who="solidsmooky" reply="18" id="2722224"]Anyone who ordered it but didn't get a confirmation email get their key yet?[/quote] Yes. :edit: I was not a beta tester.

I just watched Zombieland last night for the first time. Good stuff. I'm going to the store now to get some wine and... I dunno, something to eat. See you... soon?

[quote who="Daermoth" reply="21" id="2720864"]Given how many emails their support must be getting over this, I'm fairly certain Elisa, just like everyone else on their support team are getting tons of emails each:P So not a surprise that we got the same person responding.[/quote] Tell me more about your email has not yet arrived . - Elisa Ahhh, I loved that app.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="76" id="2720692"]I would be very surprised if the reviews of Elemental are negative. Very surprised. Elemental is, by far, the best game Stardock has ever produced. That doesn't mean it's perfect or doesn't have its share of rough edges. But it is, imo, the best game we've ever made.[/quote] What's green and orange and goes 100mph? Frogboy on pre-release day!

[quote who="Daermoth" reply="17" id="2720848"] Thank you, Elisa [/quote] Basically the same email I got, actually, including the name Elisa. Either the sales support staff are all named Elisa, or they have an AI running their email. Either way, I'm (again) pleased to hear similar stories. It makes me nervous when I don't have things like formal confirmations.

[quote reply="13" id="2720832"]It seems that most/all people who pre-ordered after beta don't have it in Impulse, so I wouldn't worry about it. I trust they know what they're doing.[/quote] I'm not generally a trusting soul... but I hope you are right, and somewhat heartened to hear I'm not the only one in this situation.

The only thing I can suggest is to make sure you have the latest drivers from ATI. I have the same card as you, running win 7 64x, and I haven't had any of those errors... There may be a problem with the card - old drivers or firmware maybe, or with the PCIe slot (which might be what burned out your old card?)

Oh dear. Well, I definitely pre-ordered, and I was not in the beta. When I choose Blue Menu, Register Product, all I see is my galciv games - no Elemental. Is it only beta people who have the game in their Impulse, or are us regular pre-order people supposed to have it too? I'm going to be rather sad if I have to wrestle with sales/support, because I wouldn't expect much help to be available on Sunday...

Playing.

Apropos of nothing, here's a quote that keeps popping into my head as I wait: I feel like I could... like I could ... take on the world!
