It is definitely lame, but it'll probably work. Still glad I backed up my downloads, though. I shall certainly be more cautious with them in the future.

Well that sucks. That place was like walking down memory lane. It is going to be harder to get my old school fix now. [e digicons]:([/e]
I would actually prefer an option like this as well. Sometimes I like to watch and other times I want to move through the battle quickly.

[quote quoting="post"] I was watching some Elemental videos on Youtube and watche several ones about battles. I remember reading one of the Dev Journals saying that Elemental would have real time battles in the vein of Total War. Yet when I watch these videos, it's a turn based battle system. Whatever happened to the RTS elements. If I wanted to play a fantasy battle board game, I would have dug out my Heroscape set. What happened? [/quote] It was chan

I like the idea of minor factions being a little more active in their own destiny. However, they are a minor faction so perhaps they could simply work on building up their one city rather than expanding, or if they did expand have it a slow and arduous process. I liked how in GalCiv2 I could give ships to minor factions to allow them to better defend themselves against an enemy of mine that was traipsing across my territory. I even had some of the richer minor fact

[quote who="Batlord" reply="101" id="2746999"]Good Old Games is selling it in a ready to play version, using dosbox i think http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/master_of_magic And you can download the original manual, the spellbook and the soundtrack after your purchase[/quote] Thanks! I hadn't really looked at GoG in a long time. They have a selection that brings back memories...

I understand that may work for some companies, but it isn't something I could support. I don't have an issue with paying for a sizable expansion, however subscription based is an entirely different animal. [e digicons]:thumbsdown:[/e]
I had a lot of performance issues in the beta, although oddly enough not a lot of crashes. I either had to keep it on the cloth map or not zoom way out - late game I had to go with cloth map because it was just way too slow. Post v1.05 I haven't had much in the way of crashes. There is some slowdown late game, however, but nothing like it was. The one thing I have run into recently is the grayed out end turn button where it hangs between turns, which was a tad frustrat
