Thank you Frogboy - yes that sound is annoying, and it is actually taking away from the normal game sounds, like the cackling of Mites (hehehe love that sound) - even worse during tactical battles - especially when the enemy (in a huge group) is moving, you hear this bink, bink, bink for every movement that is made.
[e digicons]:waaaa:[/e] noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!, not another week. **pacing back and forth, nibbling at finger nails** - I need my update fix, i need my update fix, I need my update fix. Guys really like what you have coming up in Beta 3, really looking forward to it - Please take your time (but hurry). I have enjoyed the beta so far, no crashes, great game play. Only thing I ask please bring back more goody
Frogboy - thanks for the update - looking forward to .90
I have been playing around with .77 and then .85 and now .86. Just have two questions/statements: 1. Whats with the Himalayas, specific to build build .85 and .86 (.77 seemed to be much more balanced). I have generated over 35 maps and counting and 99% of the time my main city is stuck behind mountains, and the map itself is covered with mountains. Less mountains please. 2. Very little building land for player, again this seems specific to .85 and .86 buil
Well I have been playing for a couple of days and last night I updated to version 0.77. The game played fine today earlier but tonight it is not loading - getting failed user and password - did the command line "fix" and still didn't work - I will try again tomorrow (must be the drm/always on connection that has failed). Anyway these are my observations so far - and I may playing the game incorrectly so please advise if i am 1. When you enter a fight (
OS - Win 7 64 bit Graphics - 4870 x 2 Memory - 4gb I have played the same map (I created it - with a bunch of resources) and without fail every single time it will run out of memory between 240-260 turns (depends on when I research Adventure, the earlier I start the quicker it will crash) - Also I no longer build a second city, because that also lowers the number of turns before crashing
frustrated, frustrated, frustrated - I have tried over and over to play this game and approx 240-260 turns CRASH!!"out of memory" - using about 1.5gb of memory at that time. Game is patched to the latest 1.2 blah blah blah - still no difference. I understand the devs have put a lot of work into this game but almost a year later still having the same problem, not good, not good at all. I guess its back to Civ 5. but knowing myself I will be back to play Elemental (partial amnesia :) and prayin
Well I had so hoped that it would not happen but it has. I am running the latest 1.08 + whatever Friday small update was. Got the OOM after about 409 turns specs are as follows Win 7 64 bit ATI 4870 x2 driver version 8.741.0.0 I haven't started any new games so if you need files please let me know.
For me, I am in Sandbox using a custom created map (Huge map) from 1.07. When I get home tonight I will test on a standard Elemental map (Sandbox mode of course).
Just a note - I updated to the latest ATI driver (have a 4780 x2 ) and the problem you are describing manifested itself. I had to uninstall and reinstall the older ATI driver (I think it is March 2010 version) and that cleared my problem. To torture myself I repeated the process twice to see if maybe I had made a mistake - but everytime I used the newer driver, Elemental (and also Borderlands) had issues. Reverting back to the older fixed it on both occasions.
Ummmh anymore guidance on this issue would be helpful. I am trying to understand what you have done on the hero, So my question again is how do I recruit a hero - is it tied to research (we know its no longer tied to money)?
ROFL - nice one Dragoaskani. To "clarify" - I am playing in sandbox mode - not campaign. [e digicons]:w00t:[/e]

Sorry Kinda new at this game - are you saying if my current character has a Charisma of 5 or more I will not be able to recruit Janusk? Even though he was sent to join me?
I am unable to recruit Janusk. He also shows the speech bubble with canceled line. I though he was supposed to always be part of the start game?
Same here, running win 7 ultimate 64bit. I get to about 300 turns and get the OOM error.
