And his honey is very good! Often honey can have a slightly bitter finish - his is very mild. Tho he did come inside yesterday afternoon after being attacked by his aggressive hive and I had to pick 6 stingers out of his jeans with needlenos

I can tell everyone now as long as the design aspects are right and high end units are expensive then people will almost always mix in weaker units with the heavy hitters. Those weaker units will be in the front lines keeping the more expensive power house units from taking damage. Here's a good example, Empire: Total War. In Empire: Total War you have a vast variety of units you can command. Some of these are better then others and of course some of them are much more costly then oth

[quote who="Dakkahun" reply="2" id="2426115"]Same here, but after 2k+ turns[/quote] Am I reading that right? You were able to get 2,000 turns in? That's a HUGE accomplishment in its-self. You should be jumping for joy and praising the computer gods...lol.

[quote who="NTJedi" reply="14" id="2426308"] I've noticed this most recent build is heavily pounding the CPU usage. I have a dual_core cpu and Elemental32.exe is always using 52% or higher. This seems extremely high for being a cloth map only version. Perhaps Stardock can let us know if this is intended by design OR if it's a bug. [/quote] They're lying to us, it's a conspiracy. The full 3D Engine is there and running in the ba

[quote who="ChongLi" reply="69" id="2426268"]You gotta look at all of the factors, including cost. Spearmen in MoM were the weakest units in the game, however, they were also the cheapest units in the game and they all had 8 figures (except for trolls) which made them much better for buffing than units with fewer figures (the effects of a buff are multiplied by the number of figures). [/quote] Lets not forget army composition. Cheap/weak units can always be used as a buffer zone

[quote who="Dr Franknfurter" reply="3" id="2425623"]how about a tactics phase prior to a battle... normally it just lets you arrange troops but being able to cast a spell or two based on who's doing the ambushing and only on the terrain or your troops could be nice [/quote] Like where you set up your formations and such before the battle. The Total War series does this prior to battle. In Empire if you have a army that's "dug in" I.E. it's been at rest for more then one turn in t

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="45" id="2426256"] It's a bit better in compatibility mode, but I am still having crashes. [/quote] Before I turned on compatibility mode I was getting a lock up on end turn every 40 or 50 turns. Now with it on I can actually finish a game sometimes before it'll freeze. As far as bug reporting goes I've just given up on reporting crash bugs unless it's something I can reproduce. If not I concentrate on looking for other bugs that are non-random cra

Anyone know how to tell if you have a PHP Enabled server?

[quote who="Ironmanbc" reply="41" id="2426181"] will spells be of like (life, air, water, earth, fire, death) or like picking from dif list you make a combo spell like (air+fire) longer range fireball or hotter fireball [/quote] Check this thread mate. Here Magical Damage Types needs your support :) . If you want them in the game, vote, then say so :)

hmm, nope, nm...

[quote who="Tridus" reply="142" id="2425792"] At the end of the day[/quote] Fined 100 Karma for using "At the end of the day" without Boogiebacks express permission. That's his catch phrase don't ya know :P. Don't believe me? Just watch the Elemental reveal trailer. He says it at least 3 times. You may how-ever redeem this Karma if Boogie makes a post and you call him "ScottyDON'T". :)

[quote who="VicenteC" reply="134" id="2425545"] Again, Elemental is going to be a big game and pretty complex in all levels: the last thing we need is added complexity for the shake of it or just to cover some corner cases. And don't get me wrong, I can like complex magic damage and resistances systems (I do play DnD 4e a lot), but I don't think they should be here. [/quote] I don't think anyone wants a Super Complex system or wants to add a system just for the

I think the main reason you perceive it to be a bunch of empty land is because you're only looking at the cloth map. With the 3D engine involved it actually looks like land, plus, I'm sure in later stages of the beta we'll be seeing more complete lands. Hills, Snow, Tundra, Ice, Rocky Volcano type lands, etc etc. Not to mention with every new build they add more "places" and things on the map. It'll look much better in time.

Loser... lol j/k :)

Ok, after some more testing it turns out running Elemental in XP sp3 Compatibility mode helps with stability. I encourage any other users running Elemental on Win 7 to try it if you're having stability issues.

That's great news Landi. Thanks for pointing that out brother.
