I am adding my opinion to the comments, and I prefer the left picture as the right tends to hurt my eyes, and I do NOT want any more pain than aviodable. harpo

I also have had five different versions of the archer auto-created especially after weapon research that does NOT have anything to do with ranged weapons of any form. harpo

have you received an email giving you your serial number? if not then you are not in the current beta and the STARDOCK beta process is EXTREEMLY FRUSTRATING with the bugs, freezes and crashes. if you want to enjoy wait till the release harpo

do you have show beta programs switched on? harpo

played custom game to turn 263 with custom map & sov then elemental stopped responding, computer able to alt-tab to other windows, startmenu open close, waited 20 minutes no change, ended elemental.exe, no dbg, no zip , created rar with csv,debug.err,saves, maps,dxdiag system winxp 32bit amd athlon64 x2 6000+ 4gb ddr2

what is this thing 'sleeping'? harpo

frogboy, I have done some questioning of the local bookstores in australia, and apparently the australian release date on your book is supposed to be the 15th of september, and the year was not stated, but as that is at least three weeks after the american launch that says that the publishers/distributors have no desire for a consistant worldwide release of your work. harpo

I was also having graphics issues on a geforce 7600gs, but my 8800gt winxp was ok harpo

as are all of us that are frustrated by the ooms and other crashes, and wanting the improved performance/graphics harpo

I also agree with the interface comments and had all the sames issues when I joined the beta. as a software designer/programmer/support person, I have to think a LOT about usablity of the interface/design of the program, and all the points above are usability failings harpo

and thanks for the big pics harpo

I also found the same issue, but upon looking at the trade in diplomacy I found the caravan. I think that stardock moved it to here for some reason. harpo

my prefered stress relever is to cuddle up with my cats and read a couple of books. harpo

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="47" id="2692778"] for a budget of 5 million dollars you really are effective thats why i love stardock. $5 million? I would love to have that kind of money to do a game. Elemental's budget is about half that and that includes the cost of developing its custom 3D engine.[/quote] in otherwords you are TWICE as effective as was supposed. keep up the good work harpo

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="24" id="2692012"] Quoting Spitz, reply 23When do you expect we'll get to try out some of the new goodness. I'm a bit put-off from testing 3c since I'm not sure how much of the feedback I'd provide would be useful at this point and how much of it would simply be: "You're worried about that? We completely revamped that two days ago!" I'm expecting a week from today. Yea, Beta 3C is a distant memory at this point for us. We've gotten a ton o
