Yeah, the new intro is classic. Hope we get an epic intro for the real game though.

None of the devs seem to be on right now. They must be scrambling in the last 3 hours. [e digicons];P[/e]

Please release it now! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Brad has to release it right now, since I had thought it was out when I saw the title. Now that I'm utterly crushed, the only way to get me out of my despair is to release Beta 2! [e digicons]x_x[/e]

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="58" id="2638221"] Quoting Beric01, reply 57Frogboy, I understand you really care abut the AI, and I respect that. However, it really seems the AI is becoming the long tentpole in Elemental right now. I understand you want to work on it yourself, but if you really want the game to be both complete and have good AI, perhaps you should have another member of the team help you? I just really want this AI to be a top-notch TBS AI, if you understand what I mean.&nbs

LOL at screenshot. Bummed about no release though. Was looking forward to it this weekend.

Ninthed. Please Frogboy please! We wantz de beta! [e digicons]:drool:[/e]

I bought the limited edition purely to support Stardock. However, looks like I'll get some cool stuff as well. [e digicons]:drool:[/e]

The menu piece of music is awesome. I'd just like to not get overwhelmed with the same music over and over again, even if it's good. As I'll be spending hundreds of hours on the game, a little more variation would be nice.

I hope the reqs are high. I can max Elemental, no matter the reqs, with my system. So it's not a big deal to me. I'm guessing that the HP Envy 14 laptop I'm picking up soon will be able to max it as well.

Good to hear. Looking forward to further improvements to 1Z. I assume new maps will be released for Beta 2?

[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="31" id="2592858"] exactly. if a reviewer gives a poor score, but includes reasoning for why its marked down, it might turn out that the reason he's marking it down is a reason you'd love to buy! i recently picked up divinity 2: ego draconis despite its lukewarm reviews, and its now one of my favourite RPGs ever.[/quote] Agreed. For example, one review dumped GalCiv2 due to no multiplayer. That made me want to buy it m

I never preorder games. I never buy full-price games. I preordered Elemental's Limited Edition, for $80. I just want to help support the most ethical game developer out there, untainted by big corporate interests. (You guys make great games too [e digicons];)[/e] ) Take your time. Really. I like Demigod, but I want this game's launch to be successful. No pirates flooding the servers or anything like that. I wish you guys good luck. And Brad, I actually had a bit o

Not that fun yet. I start to get excited, about tech or exploring or a quest or something, and then a gamebreaking bug pops up and spoils all my fun. [e digicons]:'([/e] But boy am I gonna love this game by Beta 3 or 4.

Yup, there's been at least 1 other topic about this bug already. Observed it myself.

I've been unable to access the treaties menu even when I have treaties. I've been unable to make a non-agression pact no matter what I do, so I can't pass through foreign territory.

I hate it when a quest is out of my area of influence, and I have to pass through another kingdom's territory, and they won't let me, even when I have the pact researched. Or when I can just barely pass by, and when I return to my kingdom, their territory has grown, and I'm stuck, so I have to declare war just to get my king back.

I had one game where I built a city right next to that gems deposit by the southeastern lake. Couldn't send my pioneer through the city to get it. He couldn't even leave it after stationing in the city. Similar stuff happens when there's no way around a city. You have to garrison, and then let them out the other side. It seems, too, that units don't leave a city right now to it's borders, but one or two squares away. Hence why that nice tile was unaccessible.

I have 2 units rescued, just sitting in my cities as per the quests. Nothing happens, and they each cost me 0.5 gold per turn. [e digicons]:([/e]

Go to the Impulse menu, and select the option that shows pre-release versions. I assume your credit card was charged today?
