Must admit I can't blame stardock for not having a direct distribution agreement in Africa. Still nice to know there is another South African in the mix excited about Elemental. Although I did splurge and go for the collectors edition here's hoping it doesn't get "lost" in the post. Oh and although I don't post much I lurk quite alot so great job stardock hope Elemental is a huge success for you. EDIT: added mix

Personally I would vote for lore, especially since you are going to have professional writers and editors helping you out (otherwise it seems something of a waste). I also think a well told story is very important and will also draw more people into the game particularily if it's possible to play the game as some kind of gaint RPG (I'm talking about achieving victory through questing here). Still I would miss being able to create lots of interesting races but I think an expansion coul

I must admit I found the poll only by stumbling upon it. Nonetheless I am grateful that the stardock team are focusing upon XP issue's although I must admit this has been something of a call to upgrade to windows 7 (apologies to Mark Shuttleworth)

Thanks for the response. I just tried unchecking Enable event music and Enable layered music (as suggested by Knworld) which seems to have stopped the movement issue but has done nothing for the crashing.

[quote who="knworld" reply="19" id="2603029"]Not sure if this is a general cause for the crashes, but I just noticed that I stopped crashing if I unchecked the "Enable Event Music" and "Enable layered music."[/quote] Oddly this seems to have fixed another problem I was having (my units were not moving properly) but unfortunatly I am still crashing shortly after I research farming.

Sometimes my units do not move. I will click on a destinstion and the game will move onto the next turn without moving that unit most of the time the unit will eventually start moving but not until several turns have gone past. If I turn the auto turn feature off the game treats the offending unit as if it has moved even when it hasn't so I can't click on a new destination. http://www.screencast.com/users/TheGreatTurtle/folders/Jing/media/2a7cbbf8-ccb8-40a6-8e52-b99cb77bb048 T

You know the arguments for a more complex economic system keep giving me flash backs to Civ4 Colonization and even the anno games (real time though they are). My problem with this is that these games lend themselves well to economic complexity such as the development of supply chains and fine tuning of trade routes indeed such complexities are the core of these games but I don't think economics should be the Core of Elemental. Economics is of course very important but when I thi

Hi guys, Sorry if this bug has been reported before. My game crashes after my screen saver comes on (I play in windowed mode). I suspect this is a memory problem. I have however just reported this on fogbuz and I did check kryo's bug post. Anyway just wondering if anyone had a similiar problem? debug at: http://pastebin.com/m5fe58df5 dxdiag at: http://pastebin.com/m30c6fb3 &n

I think that it's awesome that there is a developer out there that is totally committed to substance over style. I definately believe that the longlevity of a single player game is directly linked to the challenge it can pose to a motivated human mind. I must say I have yet to be disappionted by stardocks commitment to quality in this regard. I am unashamedly a fanboy.

Finally, it took me ages to find this post. I think I have the same problem but I didn't have this problem until I updated my drivers (to catalyst 9.3 after which there is no support for my card). Anyway here is my debug http://pastebin.com/m37dfa930

Ok I had the same problem as everyone above but my internet connection was down. Once my connection cmae back up the problem disappeared. So just to clarify do we have to be connected to the internet to play the game?
