the ten town limit will BLOCK any attempt to boost the growth rate as it is limited to .1 per turn per town, so to build ONE four man squad per turn you would NEED 40 or MORE towns, and even if you had fifty royalty heros with high charisma in one town it would STILL grow at 0.1 per turn which is WHY there has been so much grumbling about the prestige penalty system. harpo

the moving of units in theory should allow the population numbers in the disbanding town to increase, but at the cost of the building town's pop decrease and the cost of the materials used during the building of the units. harpo
the prestige penalty is the more towns the slower they grow, and if you get 10 or MORE towns they typically grow at .1 per turn. or TEN turns per pop nomatter what the excess food state is unfortunately all the workarounds for it will require starting a new game, either making a modified copy of the ElementalDefs.xml or creating accessories(eg rings) that add prestige( I have done both, the modified elementaldefs is needed to increase the number of towns before the growth hits a
to get it back to 1.3 all you have to do is turn OFF the show beta in impulse ,then do the SHIFT RIGHT mouse click verify installation in impulse when you have the 1.39 installed. by turn off the beta you will be able to get the 1.3 release version. and yes I find the no continue moving bug very irritating. harpo
the next suggestion is to delete the registry entry for elemental in the following path Then launch the System Registry (Start-> run, and type regedit) Look for and delete the following Keys; 32 bit windows HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\elemental HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\elementalDE For Vista 64 bit and windows 7 64bit; HKLM>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>Stardock>Drengin.net>elemental<b
harbours were disabled back in 1.3 till frogboy can get them working, and as far as raiseland, it should be a magical research. harpo
have you tried the shift right-mouse click on elemental , and verify installation? harpo

esprito, my version was ' Version 1.30.064 last updated on: 12-26-2010 11:50' before I just updated, have not tested since the update, with a LOT of luck I will be able to test tonight(ie all the customer problems are fixed quickly and easily. harpo
esprito, I had renamed the ElementalDefs.xml to harpoElementalDefs.xml after copying it from the program files data\english folder, I then edited the values in the entries that I wanted to change, and I did NOT delete anything in it. and regarding the prestige issue I also have my <a title="harpo's cheesy rings" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u
esprito, I copied the ElementalDefs.xml into my items folder and renamed it, then altered the values, and then started a game, and the values are as I had altered, so if you want to do the same it should work for you as well. harpo
frogboy , it sounds like you are getting wom to head in the right direction at last, but even humans can be effected by the path bug, I have had several times in many of the games where I tell a stack(or single unit) to go to a particular location IN my territory from elseware in my territory, and it does NOT go there, and have to tell it to go part way ,then later tell it to finish the journey(and it was(and is)mildly irritating. harpo
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="2988235"]The prestige penalty is just a bad concept. It's dying in v1.4.[/quote] how about hitting it with fusion bombs? or even anti-matter? harpo
zalak1234, the 'offline' update method is 'impulse anywhere' that downloaded the ENTIRE game that you then save onto a disc/stick and install and activate with impulse on the playing pc. harpo
was there mountains surrounding the location? they can block the town expansion, as can squares allocated to hidden quests/resources/special locations in general. harpo
seanw3 WHERE is the prestige penalty hidden (I hope it is NOT in the exe)? harpo
what SIZE maps are you playing on? I have had crashes that happen a lot more frequently with larger maps, and have even had a twelve hour session on a 8 x 8 map, but on maps larger than 8x8 like 10x8 and 12x8 it crashes for me. harpo

frogboy, I have six computers with 64 bit windows on them, and have 32bit only on those where it is of significant benefit(eg disc burning/movie playing) or hardware prevents 64 bit, but I have had atleast two 64 bit windows comps for the LAST four years, so WHEN are you going to release a 64 bit game? harpo

a better question is do you have a very high threshold for boredom and frustration? , if no then do not get wom in it's current form, if yes then think about it, admittedly it has pretty graphics, and pretty sound, but poor ai and limited choices for enjoyable play that the mods that are currently available do help with, but it is still a choice between pretty+ (graphics and sound) and pretty-(boring and frustrating),
[quote who="kryo" reply="16" id="2982638"] Quoting Magog_AoW, reply 13I'd like to have a better system for reporting beta bugs too. Like a form where you can upload images and debug files... It's such a pain to post screenshots and files on the forum. We allowed everyone to submit to the bug tracker during the WoM beta, but there was too much spam and it had to be closed to the public.[/quote]WHAT bug tracker, I was IN the wom beta from beta 2 and did not know of any b
