[quote who="TheProgress" reply="7" id="2863988"]Massively destructive strategic spells need some sort of "warm up period" to give the receiving player a chance to defend.[/quote] that plus some means to offend against them :P
[quote who="DariasDruss" reply="7" id="2863784"]They could have just made a program that would have automatically sent the crashlog to a certain area. Anyway this game should be getting fixed up by now. Has been released for 5 months.[/quote] couldnt bloody agree with you more, if by area you mean to them. having crashlogs sent to them at one location with the press of a button, they should have the infrastructure in place to do that as a developer......
does the champ have to be within a certain distance of the spell? After that i changed my play strategy, i rush city building and getting my ZOC blocking entry to my cities, try to bottleneck them so they only see one city in the beginning, then go from there (expand out when they declare war, set up a second defensive line just in case, etc.
its Debug.err in (assuming you have windows 7 or vista) Documents/My Games/Elemental I think they want you to upload it or some crap like that, but I dont want to go creating any more random accounts anywhere, have enough of that crap all over for work.
so i was playing my first game with the AI on hard, was neck and neck with an empire with 5x my score, basically turtling and expanding inside myshell getting ready to push back, when bam volcano on my capital city and one of my two metal producing cities, completely destroyed the one and put my capital back to nothing..... on one hand i was like, huh, good for you ai, your improving, i mean i wasnt going to use any poopy spells on you, but hey, you go girl....
if and or when i post this crap, this is how im doing it (unless someone can tell me how to get the code window to not remove all the spacing).

the point is, i shouldnt have to in the first place, I'm trying to suggest a way to make it easy for them to collect more data and be more likely to have people submit that data. Hell the last couple beta's i was in did something similar.
when you crash 20+ times a day... it gets tedious. If even a small percentage more of the people that own the game started sending their logs by making it quick and easy, like windows does (that statement is almost oxymoronic), seems to me like that would be to everybodies benefit.
I love how random my start location can be in relation to other resources, though it would be nice if there was an option specifically alter how good spawns points are for everybody, occasionally i like to start sweet.
yes im fully updated ;) thats a viable way of doing it, but if i have to come to the forums to post dump logs, thats to much work IMO, especially under the previously mentioned circumstances.
I have to admit, i did like the campaign and was disappointed when it ended (liked teh story). But to be honest you arent missing much, in fact, if you only play the campaign, your missing out BIG time ;). I would agree with the above, if its that buggy, scrap it until they have the core bugs and mechanics worked out, then add it in via episodic content or something.
So as i tend to mention alot, i crash, all the time. I want to help you fix it, BUT, I'm insanely lazy, i dont want to click on a ton of crap to copy and paste dumps to the website, hell, as a paying customer i shouldn't have to even worry about crashes ;). But I LOVE this game, its addicting, and I tend to just restart the game and keep playing, i can have 10+ crashes in a sitting until i lose patience. So here's the deal, as mentioned, I'm lazy, if you want me to post my dumps to th
hopefully not on 1.1, cause then the demo will crash lots and lots for you.... like the real game does for me :P. I would imagine they are waiting till the game is at least stable to release a demo.
i still crash as much in 1.11 as 1.1 , its hacking me off -.-
they could place a new city right next to the mountains, then as their ZOC grows lower the mountains. If the buffer is really wide, then place a new city, etc. I'm pretty sure that you can build new cities in an enemy ZOC when at war, though i havent tried it...?
screw giving up my game time for my "friends" or "family", ill play Elemental, they can go play solitaire.
double click will buy things fast
well, ive played Galciv2 a bit and it just isnt catching on for me, im not sure why, but i cant play more than 20 imnutes then i just get bored :/. Pax Imperia was AWESOME, i loved that game so much!!
when they do that, i kills them
legit version of windows? I had a friend who had similar issues with another game, course the idiot was running a pirate version of windows..... and he lives in seattle (meaning he can get ultimate, legitly for 40 bucks).....
SO im borrowing the game from a friend who has the ultimate disc to decide if i want to buy, but of course cant update and register since its already registered to his account, its version 1.93, is there much difference between that version and the most recent (2.03)?
i bought distant worlds a while back and was gifted the expansion, its good and its bad...... very hard to explain properly why, i read someone in an other thread say that galciv2 is like playing a spreadsheet, I highly doubt its as much like one as DW though, but DW has the largest playing field ever (up to 1400-2000 star systems i think), with 1998 graphics, decent AI, and some of the best automation ever, you can run the empire barely touching a thing and just getting asked a couple questi
hey OP do you think he would jump ship so quickly if the game was made exactly the way he wanted it to be and go to a company like SD where he would obviously have alot more free reign over his projects, answerable only to Froggy poo?
thanks for all the feedback guys, its on my to buy list, but ill prob wait till its on sale :)
50 bucks is definitely something to me (money is tighter than a constipated midget..... it was funnier in my head), and correct me if im wrong but on impulse its 30 bucks for dread lords and then 30 for the bundle of both expansions? so are you saying to wait till i can find the entire set for 20 dolla's? edit: Im not a huge fan of demo's.... in my experience they rarely give a proper, realistic, taste of the game
