[quote who="delijoe79" reply="4" id="2720383"] Quoting TheProgress, reply 3 I just skimmed through the latest AAR - the only thing he says is "Note: This part of the AAR is being run with the Day 0 build so you will see features that weren’t in the gold edition" I haven't seen him say otherwise that we'll be getting the 0-day patch right away. If so - great! Why would he use the zero day version to do an AAR and t

Griefing. Imagine this. You are forced to watch every battle someone has with the ai, or players. Well imagine the person who finds it funny to drag out EVERY tac battle for as long as humanly possible. (IE not fighting, running away in circles, etc) just to force you to watch their antics. It W
Also in the Dev journal 5 Brad mentions that if your sovereign dies in an assault on an enemy city in enemy territory hes Dead Dead, IE GAME OVER MAN. I don't think the solo sovereign taking over the world without a city is plausible due to that.

Is this true for most pre-order customers? Someone in an earlier post indicated they didn't get the confirmation e-mail but did have the game listed in "My Games" area. Normally I wouldn't even worry about this until after 1pm tomorrow but I got sucked into the forums and am posting against my better judgement

[quote who="Jvstin" reply="412" id="2718864"] Quoting OsirisDawn, reply 410I already made that suggestion, but they choose to ignore and keep ranting. Makes me wonder if it is really such a huge issue with them. I think it comes down to, having read this insanely long thread too much, is the idea that some people want to be able to spawn a sheaf of copies of Elemental on their LAN and have everyone play in MP, using the one activated copy. <br

They said the other day they were shutting down beta downloads due to setting up for the real deal. Beta testers will get access again earlier then preorders so you will get access again in a few days I guess since preorders get access Monday. Until then yeah your key is disabled.

The only thing that does it for me is the book. But with some serious financial obligations at the moment I couldn't reasonably dedicate an extra 20 bucks for a book filled with background story. =( Alas woe is me. lawl.
[quote who="podracer691" reply="3" id="2717014"]What about a flight spell? Master of Magic had a flight enchantment. This game will be extremely unrealistic without one (even for a fantasy game).[/quote]I know what you mean. Just the other day I was needing to get to work in a hurry, but there was too much traffic. So I just cast flight on my car and flew to work. Saved a lot of time.

[quote who="UlyssesNL" reply="351" id="2716398"] LAN means local area network and if a game has lan support it should not require internet servers to play on a LAN. If it would just check if the game is legal it might still be considered LAN gaming, but right now it will be connecting to a stardock server and send/receive game data from it. I engineer networks and i cannot think of any situation where sending packets to the internet is considered just LAN communication. You
Definition: A local area network (LAN) supplies networking capability to a group of computers in close proximity to each other such as in an office building, a school, or a home. A LAN is useful for sharing resources like files, printers, games or other applications. A LAN in turn often connects to other LANs, and to the Internet or other WAN . Most local area networks are

I got into sins thanks to some previews in PC gamer, which in turn lead me to Gal Civ 2 ultimate edition, which in turn leads us to Elemental being available to preorders on monday... Is it monday yet?
There is a code on the back of the book that you add to your account. In September the first chapter of the 2nd campaign is due to come out. Its supposed to come out in 4 parts. I looked this up a few days ago. Google r hard. ;p
[quote who="unacomn" reply="37" id="2716428"]I was wondering, how flexible is the CPU requirement for Elemental? Mine is a bit old, 1.8 Ghz Athlon64 3000+. The rest of the PC meets the requirements, 1GB of RAM and an X1950 Pro video card which is actually very powerful for an AGP card.[/quote]You will probably be playing on the cloth map, or with most the eye candy turned off sorry to say.

You may want to double check on that. By that I mean I know you can upgrade right now while its in the preorder stage, but I have a feeling no such upgrade will be offered once the 24ths delivery date has come and gone.

Just because you got over excited and jumped the gun with a blatant assumption.
