the best advice would be to email all details of your computer(hardware, drivers versions and patch/service pack levels) and error messages to [email protected]. hope this helps harpo
you have some interesting ideas here. harpo
[quote]I don't know what you mean by "taking up 90% of the free space on the battlefield"? If this is supposed to be some kind of referance to being "hugely outnumbered" then you should lose the battle. If 10% archers could always defeat 90% heavily armored knights (everything else being equal) that would be lame in my opinion. That's just not realistic to me & overpowers a particular unit (why buy macemen then? they're useless). Should one 4-squad of archers beat nine 4-squads
biomekanic, the issues win 64 bit windows and ati video card are still happening, but from my own personal testing on HUGE 12x12-16x16 maps with 10 ai's and myself without LAA can get about 200 turns with 1.09e49(current version), and when I use the LAA on the elemental.exe have had a game get to 738 turns, BUT loading the save would not play on past end of turn which is weird, and I had saved it as I had been playing for 16 hours straight in the one game and needed to get some sleep.</
her spell book includes the raise to mountain spell, have not noticed any others, but might be. harpo
frogboy, thanks for not croaking, but could you convince that AI that towns DO NOT NEED more than 3 huts/hovels/slums per town as long as the AI invests in civic research for housing for one or two levels, and yes please for MOAR different quests/goodie huts and levels in the various research trees (ideally at least 50 research items other than refined). harpo
would be nice to have a hotfix, but would prefer the full 1.1 sooner and BUG FREE with a good fix to ati 64bit OOM. harpo
sunjah-kahn, I have loaded elemterra maps into the cartography table immediately after loading elemental, then did the create thumbnail image, and saved the map, then exit elemental, loaded elemental (as elemental ONLY loads the XML(all the files including the maps) during the loading of elemental, and then created a new game with the new map and played to the OOM. harpo
the first boat appears near the town that gave you the mission to free the crystal & iron mines AFTER you have saved the scribe and have the map edge translated, then had a unit approach the town, the second boat appears near the town that gave you the missions in the swamps, again after a unit of your colour approaches the town, but I had completed the quest without using any boat, just but building a town next to the wall and waiting for the influence to pass the wall and teleport over
if you have already selected the faction in your setup screen then you can not play against the faction in the game, but IF you have created two similar factions, then you can play against the one you are NOT in control of. harpo
I suggest for early games to play on large maps with only two or three races in the game ( the reason for large maps is it will take a fair bit if time for the opponents to grow to you from where they start), I have found that the small maps are better when you have more experience with the game. harpo
at present you( your caster(s) & their army) can only teleport INTO and within your territory, you CAN NOT even teleport into allied territory or neutral or enemy territory. harpo
have you tried continuing the game from the save as the debug suggests that you are about to OOM(ie looks similiar to the entires at the end of my debugs when an OOM happens) harpo
rhah, you could also build a town next to the obsidian barrier and wait for the zone of influence to expand enough that you can teleport past the barrier, (just make sure you take a few companies of troops as squads & individuals will just die in the final boss battle. to remove the barrier just take one or more units to the red fire shard and the barrier will drop. harpo
I have found win 7 64bit FAR more stable than vista, so I think it is some setting/software on their computer (btw I have a win7 64 w 12gb ati 5850 with the same version of ati driver and my only issue is the dreaded OOM) harpo
fearzone, I have had the same effect on one of my computers, but with several other mods installed, so I do not know what the cause is but the quick workaround I found was removing the ACP folder then elemental and all the other mods are content and willing to play. harpo
[quote who="Sunjah_Kahn" reply="195" id="2806248"] snip * can you turn off fog-of-war in the game? I just cannot get the editor to show any of these maps, though it does load others well; * if this post is a bother to answer, don't sweat it...though it would do wonders for my sanity. THANKS![/quote] to see the ENTIRE map you need to put ' cheat' at the end of the properties for the elemental.ex's shortcut, then start a game with the shortcut and w
gab5730, I like your suggestion as it should help the issue, which happens far too often. harpo
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="3" id="2805744"] We have a new theory on this. Could you try a game where you do no tactical battles but rather just auto resolve. We are seeing some systems where the texture memory on the video card doesn't get cleared after a battle but gets swapped to main memory. It's only on some systems but we reproduced it finally. If someone can verify that it would be helpful.[/quote] I did a test game using autoresolve on harpo's weirdie large with 10 ai custom s
sorry, but at present the book one IS all the campaign(s), but frogboy has hinted to future campaigns with the expansions and with the book, and the disc version is VERY buggy, but you should be able to play sandbox single player, just do not expect the engine to not crash especially if you are using 64bit windows with an ati chipset harpo
impinc, just ONE suggestion to help the m0r0ns and id10ts out there, you might want to link the address to your download in your OP harpo
goontrooper, do you have elemental 1.09e.49? the reason for the 49 hotfix WAS for the maps not working issue. harpo
brad, my suggestion is to do the engine improvements FIRST, then add extra assets, and how about warcats [e digicons]:pout:[/e] ? as you already have bears,dogs(wargs) and horses. harpo
if you check your ego's at the door, then there is no problems beyond bugs harpo
one thing that can help for 64 bit windows is the LAA trick , but it only helps, and does NOT fix the cause of the problem. the only people that CAN fix the memory leaks that cause the Out Of Memory error IS stardock. harpo
