I like the idea of dynamic land types... perhaps something such as: as the seasons progress, land in northern/southern climes change to snow, which affect movement/combat rates. Also, depending on the story in the game, as good or evil prevail, land all over could change types (evil winning = more barren terrain, good winning = more fertile and therefore more farmable terrain). Or creatures setting forests/farmable land ablaze after winning in combat against the player

Good news - I just fire up Impulse (my daily check for new titles and deals) and, on a lark, checked history for Elemental, and noticed that the latest version is now 1.11. So I initiated the update - and it completed! No manual intervention required on my part, no errors or interruptions! My suggestion to anyone else who posted to this thread, or anyone reading it due to issues with the 1.10 update - see if you have better luck with the new

@IamDean: Fair enough, I can accept that. But it doesn't really address the fact that I get the error at the same percentage of download, on two different PCs. I should step back for a second and mention that, if my tone suggests it, it's not my intention to be antagonistic here, and I apologize if that's the impression I've left. I am content, for the time being, with downloading the install files from Anywhere at work, and installing anew (though my

@Rosco_P: I've tried, from two different computers, with two different network connections (one wired, one wireless), and from two physically separate Internet uplinks (different upsteam providers, separated by 70km). The symptom remains. Also, I was able to update Gratuitous Space Battles and three of its four expansion packs in the same Impulse session as the initial attempt to update Elemental. If the issue were line noise (bad netw

@Zargon - tried again just now... No luck. Today's attempt's log messages pasted below. Based on the MD5 errors, I went into C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Impulse\Temporary and its subdirectories (after canceling the download) but there are no files to be found, other than the two log files. Is there a host that I can lookup/traceroute to (based on the http 404 errors) to help troubleshoot? -- [01/04/11 9:24:51 P

I had not tried since my post earlier this afternoon, but I just tried again and got the same error, at about the same place, on one of my PCs. Below is the error log messages from my attempt just now (I can post the whole file if necessary, but it goes back quite a bit). Thanks. -- [01/03/11 8:43:21 PM] ---------------------------------------------------- Context: General Message: Flash Detected at C:\Wind

I've been unable to update from 1.09e to 1.10 on two PCs - one of which had its Elemental install archived, uninstalled, and subsequently restored (don't get me started on that debacle); the second machine has had the same install since installing from DVD. Same error message as reported above on both machines; I've been unable to locate my log file. Once PC runs Avast!, the second runs Symantec Endpoint Protection. Neither has thrown any warnings. &
