your notifications on the right hand side of screen tells you when buildings finish...that should be some indicator.

my only grip I am starting to have is having Civs die out trying to take out a minor civ. Their sov dies and they die...I play to have fun but that particular bug is starting to irk me a little. I play on Large worlds and only 150 turns into the game Kraxis has died to a minor kingdom. Tarth has died to Monsters and ruffians somehow, and Capitar died in a "war" it didn't even say who or how they got killed. So far I haven't met anyone but one minor civ. I think all the ones that were near me

[quote who="cephalo" reply="1" id="2742565"]...but you've been playing it since 1993! What else needs to be said?[/quote]We haven't had 17 years yet to see how we feel about elemental. ;p

HoMM5 is okay for short play periods, King's bounty the Legend is okay, havent played armored princess. Civ 4 obviously is great. And Gal Civ 2 isn't too bad if you can get past some of the glaring flaws in the design.

[quote quoting="post"] Has anyone else noticed that after playing the game for a while that the Enter key no longer works to "end turn"? This seems to have persisted over the last several updates. I then have to save, quit, and reload the game to get the enter key to work again. [/quote]yes, but there is an easy fix. Whenever you enter key stops working, (also means you keyboard stops working period actually) pick a city any city and open you Build menu for build

But shrinking units...nope. I think that's in reference to the bug where if you reload a saved game which was created when some of your parties/squads/companies are damaged, then those groups are reduced to a single unit (or fewer units) when you reload. That's still alive an

No.

[quote who="Astrobia" reply="9" id="2742303"]My guess is it's your notoriety gain. According to the manual you are supposed to earn fame based on your exploits. The higher your level of fame (good or bad) the higher level wife you can acquire and the stronger the offspring from your dynasty. There's no account of this in game anywhere that I can find though.[/quote]Some people won't marry you if your reputation isn't to their liking. I tried to marry Janusk once to one of my female sovereigns

Its a feature.

[quote who="Wizaerd" reply="9" id="2739603"]I hope the eventually some generous Elemental player will record one of their games, similiar to how Civ players did, and post them on YouTube. I know that each game and player will be different, but I'd certainly be interested in watchng a couple just to see how things progress, and get a feel for the overall process. I've seen a few that FrogBoy did, but they didn;t really cover a full game, and they really didn;t explain why he (they)

Nice work guys! Love to see the effort you are putting in!

I tend to explore and expand at least 1-3 extra cities in advantageous areas. My current game that I am gonna finish up tomorrow after work saw me in a crappy spot. (still is crappy actually) I started with only a food source near by. Went ahead and settled in anyways cause I was surrounded by mountains. Lowered some land and made my way out. Turns out the way I went landed me 2 tech buildings next to each other. So I settled there a few turns later. Another 30-40 turns of explo

I won a signed copy today from a contest at Bigdownload. :) Can't wait for it to arrive. I am almost out of Star Wars books to read so this will make a good new one to start on.

3 of the 4 game winning conditions can be done without fighting the ai (edit: I mean the nations) in a single battle. How much more "peace" do you want? Seriously dude, did you even think that out for a minute? And the summoning books were removed from the "starting books" you still get access to them by researching magic. So you could easily pop down a few lvls in magic first to get your summons.

[quote who="zarq42" reply="1" id="2733035"]congratulations, but why should we care?[/quote]You don't have to, I probably wouldn't if the shoe was on the other foot. I just wanted to announce it. So if any of the other 4 are forum goers they can chime in too. /shrug back to playing my game now. *edit: to the rest thanks for the congrats. Its kinda cool to win even something small like this. I don't usually enter contests cause your chance of winning are so small.

Woot bigdownload had a contest where they were giving away 5 signed copies of Frogboys new elemental book. I WON ONE!!! I almost went out and bought it today too. Wonder how long it takes to get it??

have you patched up to 1.05.16? I know you could have Nuts things when breeding with the Snathi drake leader, but 1.05 removed him to stop that.

[quote who="Kardiophylax" reply="13" id="2732894"] Quoting dragoaskani, reply 9The combats not that hard to figure out. Take light plate armor for instance. Its armor bonus will roll an 8 vs any slashing weapon (swords, axes, etc) But against a piercing weapon or blunt weapon it will roll a 1-8 for defence. Its just like the Gal Civ 2 defenses system really. It is very hard to figure out when this information does not appear to presented anywhere. Unless it's buried in the in-

Fine I will be nice. Here is how it works. Standing in the city seems to be bugged and you aren't getting numbers back, standing in the control zone and healing gets numbers back...see? (I don't believe it will work if you let them heal to full in the city first never tried it)

[quote who="Storm" reply="5" id="2732391"]Yeah, I would rather see 0 damage vs a 'miss' so I know to utilize a different spell or save mana. It is extremely frustrating to watch my Champions swing and miss 10-20 times in a row only to realize that while over powering the foe in Combat Rating, I have no shot at winning the battle.[/quote]Well you can compare your attack numbers vs their defence numbers that gives you a rough estimate of how you are gonna do.

It should probably just say -0 or absorbed instead of miss. Then its less confusing to people who don't understand the system.

[quote who="redskull2" reply="2" id="2732372"]so when I lose 2 guys from my squad of 4, even after they heal, there is just 2 guys. Are they forever going to be unable to replace the people they lost? after a while in my game I had a bunch of these "orphan" units that started large, took some casualties, and never got back to full strength.[/quote]thats not what he said...god learn to read. hes referring to individual units that were trained as single units can't be combined. Your god damn sq

Cursor shows the tactical battle cursor (x with dots trailing off). Nothing on my keyboard (tried literally everything including esc and f keys) will select an ability to improve.
