1.09n is BETA of 1.1. You may update to this version when you'll set impuls to "Show Pre-Release (Alpha/Beta) Versions". I don't recommend it. Just wait for 1.1.

UPDATED: 17 (UPD). Not always. Just with his starting setup (barehanded) 18. All sons of the male Daring sov have 100% Daring strike chance * The attacker HP bar is updated just when you click to attack and not after/during the animation. That's annoying. Another crash . This time it's CTD without any error

My findings after first 1.09n game: similar to 2) A bear attacked my defensless town and nothing happened. He did the same next turn and also no city raze. 5. Choppy graphics in tactical. Lots of frame skipping. 6. Pop up order is a mess. Try research, arcane and 2 idle cities at once. You'll see what I'm talking about. 7. As above. If 2+ or more cities gets idle at the same turn you have to click all the pop ups and later check the previous cities again<

There's no point in detailed game remakes. We can still play most of it. Lately I've spend many hours with MoM, SMAC and Fragiled Alliance. And I tell you. Thay aren't great. What makes them great are memories. When we were young and beautyfull:) These games have one big fun fuctor - the ideas. The devs seems to have lots of them and in old days every one was just... genial. Reading blocks of text in SMAC is great. Acknowleding that the lizardmen can move on water is nice. Using interfac

At some population the city prestige could be lowered and some sanitation buildings could be raised to counter the effect. The buildings should have some kind of upkeep.. but with all global resources that would be just annoying 'another building'.

I'm tired of reading yet another kicking of the dead horse, and I'm little tired of Frogboy's selfwhipping. We need to look in the future and it seems bright at least. The team is workin on the game after release with the bigger team. That is darn uncommon in these days. I'm not a huge fan of FfH but like many parts of it. Random events to mention one. I'm glad that someone like Derek is hired, and to emphasize once again - it's after release! What matter the most it seems like Brad r

While I love resource chains in Settlers or Anno I think it won't be fun in Elemental. Of course everything depends on implementation but the 'urge' to make everything a global resource will make the chains management plainly boring I guess. I think the game need more diversity in many aspects. To make it richer and just funnier to play. For example there is the dynasty element and I think it could be pretty unique if the devs would work on it. And if while talking about res

[quote who="nikisknight" reply="76" id="2812201"]My biggest wish right now is for sped up tactical combat. The animation is slow, as is the delay between inputing commands and seeing their effect (though maybe that's the same thing). Seeing how the team HP bars decrease well in advance of the action, I don't think it is a calculation display. Perhaps there is a setting for this I have missed, but since it is dangerous to auto resolve battles I've been spending a lot of the time in

Well. I think you should start your own game magazine... NOT. This is not a good idea. I will take 2mil credits and distribute it in 500 categories. Will it be better? And how can this help the devs? Blantly pointing thge bugs or 'improve first' areas are IMHO lot more.. substantial. I appreciate the time you spent but that's just not working. And this is mine scor for EWoM: 75 What does it means? Dunno - this is the score I've got in the last game and I also don't have t

I'm little puzzled with the 'commuting' stuff. I think that's unrealistic that all specialists come from capital. I'm for local resources for the sake of realism. But of course there have to be some simplicity because of gameplay. Anyway, as most of us I'm also waiting for 1.1:)

I second that and not only. I miss the Conan like heroes. The twisted old hags. Punk-like thugs and MadMaxish wearing patched jackets survivors kind. A champions that'll have some personality, likes/dislikes and of course cool avatar pictures:) Not another whats-his-name food+20 guys.

That's weird. I think the SimCity4 is quite simple and I's say there are too few factors to manage. But even now, with dozens of customs lots it's visually astonishing despite of course of its artificiality. What I look in city simulator would be richness of modded SC4, more flexible environment allowing creating of the 'real' cities, real and accurate height maps from all around the world, combined with real troubles and decision making of city planner and the mayor. And th

If it's dumbed down SimCity then why not play SimCity4? What are the advantages of Cities XL?

After hiring Kael my hopes for 1.1 diminished a little. If the 1.1 will be released in October it won't contain Kael's work. So I guess now I'm waiting for 1.2. With a little more diversity and lots of new content:) Although the Kael's role is not completely clear. E.g. can he introduce some major idea that could change the core aspects of the game?... dunno.

The messages alone are not silly. The silliness is that it happens every X turns and usually is sent by a few factions. Example. I'm in a war with F1. Every X turns F2 tells me to attack F3 and immediately F3 wants me to attack F2. Another thing. When I try to make the faction in the war I need to spend some gildars and/or diplomatic capital. But when they want me to get involved they don't offer me anything.

Hey Freebird. If you spent 50$ already you might as well sit here with us and wait what the EWoM will become. Download an update when it'll be available and play few turns. I hope that some day you'll say 'Damn it's good I've waited'... or you can try to get a refund.

Thank you guys for the appreciation. That's really encouraging. If this is helpful in any means I'm glad. CapitanMal: Checked it right now. The link is still working.

I really don't know if that's the direction that the devs would go but I agree with the OP. Adding of some 'flavor' elements in unit design would add a lot. 1) Different armor/shield/cape textures with al kind of heraldic/fantasy symbols - with colours sliders obligatory:) 2) Custom elements (just like in GalCiv2). To add some spikes, banners and similar, resize and/or rotate them. 3) Different body types: fat, skinny, muscular, tall, short.
