Just wait until Gabe dies (the guy must weigh 300+ pounds) and a new CEO is appointed to Valve. It's all going to go downhill...

[quote who="AngeloBraz" reply="1" id="2727939"]UPDATE I can't play the game, it just doesn't save the game, it replaces with someone else's saved games!!! [/quote] ROFL. For some ... insane reason, you have to load campaign saves from the campaign menu - NOT the load game menu.

I was in the beta and I have no clue what "elementium" is.

[quote who="Das123" reply="4" id="2727593"]Just so I get my time-zones right. is Stardock located at GMT+6? I've been using a rough calculation from here in Australia of add 8 hours minus a day (easier than subtracting 16 hours). My guess as I write this at 5.45am here is that it is 1.45pm over there (of the day before).[/quote] Lol no - Stardock is GMT - 5. East coast of North America.

[quote who="kryo" reply="3" id="2727326"]Minor cities can't levelup. We're either going to make that clearer in-game or remove the limitation.[/quote] Why not keep the limitation in - but remove it if conquered by a empire / kingdom?

[quote who="TLamming" reply="76" id="2727165"]You guys, this is the pre release game we got. I guess its true that "no good deed goes unpunished" Cast your stones after the 0 day patch tonight.[/quote] I was going to do so originally - but while playing the game @ 1.0 and running into so many issues, I figured: "what the hell? why not". Some issues might have been resolved already others not - the devs could pick out the ones that hadn't been addressed.

nope, not yet.

[quote who="fissure" reply="63" id="2725691"] quoting post I've noticed that the training time for units is ONLY dependant (so it would seem) on the number of units in the squad. Their equipment plays no role in how long it takes to train the units. I would think that producing 8 men armed with clubs would take considerable less time than training 8 men fashioned in full armor with shields and swords. This is incorrect. Swords increase trai

Does the bug still exist where captured minor-faction cities won't grow?

This is good news. I think I'll hold off playing until tomorrow then... I have outstanding work that needs finishing anyway.

[quote who="thebigJ_A" reply="37" id="2725518"]Hey guys. I had this same problem, but seem to have fixed it. Try this, If you have a multi-core processor, switch the game's affinity to just one of your processors. To do this, hit Ctr-Alt-Del while the game is running, then right click "Elemental" under Processes. Down the bottom of the list, see "Set Affinity". Just uncheck one. I hope this works for you like it did for me![/quote] This has definitely helped with performance. I recomm

[quote who="CapitalShip" reply="58" id="2725450"] Seriously how can you come up with ALL of these conclusions if you have not even played the game? You even say clear as day you have not even played the actual game and only a SHORT time with the campaign. I don't think thats fair to the developers since it is nearly impossible to state all of this already about the game. Maybe, just maybe you should play it a bit more before coming to all of these conclusions.[/quote] Uh oh.

[quote who="Baleurion" reply="51" id="2725315"]Um, to the thread starter... I'm not trying to say im smarter than you or anything, but I had never played the betas, I just started up a non-campaign large map and dove in. Within 5min I was as comfortable as in Civ4 or Galciv2 or any other game. This game was never meant for soccer moms who doesnt even know what a 4x game is, and why would they need to explain where the end turn button is? There is only 1 button in the lower right co

[quote who="kryo" reply="2" id="2725330"]Yeah, we're going to be removing the Snathi. The half-drake children are not something the world is ready for. [/quote] You're removing content rather than fleshing out the game ? [e digicons]

What a lot of publishers / studios fail to realize is that (the majority of) pirates are not their target audience. Imagine this: you're walking through a mall, people are handing out coupons and hats and stuff. Nothing amazingly exciting but hey! the shit is free. So you accept the free stuff. Imagine the above example, but now you're being forced to pay: odds are you won't and you'll walk away happily without the coupons, etc.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="2724907"]We are looking into it. Thanks to your report, we were able to assemble an XP SP3 + GTX 260 + running at at very high resolution. You can probably get around the issue by lowering your resolution. Basically, the nVidia drivers on XP don't support the unusual memory configuration of that card (900MB). If you ran the game at as 1280x1024 I think it would work.[/quote] Great thanks for the tip. Probably explains why I nev

Nice. Any word on getting this (https://forums.elementalgame.com/391302) fixed? Makes the game completely unplayable for some of us.

[quote who="shadowtongue" reply="47" id="2724706"] So, how much modability of the UI is there in elemental? Because this is not an isolated complaint.[/quote] Apparently all that can be done at the moment is graphical changes (to existing content)... I have no idea to what extent. Creating brand new elements are not possible atm - they probably depend upon Python support - no idea how much of the game will be moddable in the end. Hopefully everything (a dreamer's dr

[quote who="Gravedancer" reply="43" id="2724585"] Quoting TheProgress, reply 42(and I'd like to think that I didn't stay up to 4:30am for nothing). You were up to 4:30 am playing this too? [/quote] Well, up to ~3:15am playing the game, then debating on whether or not I should make this topic (I had to wake up at 9:00 am).

I'm curious if developers have had a chance to check out this thread or not - I know they're busy making preparations and all for the "official" release but I truely believe the points made here will help improve the game (and I'd like to think that I didn't stay up to 4:30am for nothing).

[quote who="Gravedancer" reply="38" id="2724090"] What I find most beneficial are the "Things I wish I had known" threads that get started. It's in those threads where experienced players can find out the true nuances of the game without spending the time in the tutorials or manuals that probably won't cover that information anyways.[/quote] Point is players who purchase the game shouldn't be forced to check the forums in order to figure out how to play the game they've jus

[quote who="Bellack" reply="35" id="2723852"] I'm not going to even try the campaign intill the Day 0 patch. When I get home I'm going to run a regular game to learn it (and expereance the changes from Beta 4)[/quote] At this point I'm probably just going to come back in a month and hope the game has been smoothed out.
