I use shortcut keys constantly in TBS games. I find it very convenient.

I like your ideas about being able to build unique buildings on more of the terrain. That would be a fantastic addition. [quote who="tjashen" reply="6" id="2805392"]In GalCivII, I definitely engage in planet spamming (i.e. colonizing any planet I can land a transport on). However, I do have to keep an eye on those border planets, as overlapping/increasing spheres of influence can cause those planets to change allegiance if left unchecked, and thus boosting i

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="20" id="2805400"]RPG stuff aside, I've always supported sovereign-death=game-over because it is just more fun for me strategically.[/quote] I would suggest just making like a normal strategy game, if all cities are conquered, game over. OR, if you lose your sovereign and don't have a suitable heir, you lose. That would add a whole new layer of importance to marrying and having kids.

1. More personality and distinction between "races". Right now they're almost all the same, with different color skin. 2. More "uniqueness" to the environment and buildings in cities. Every city really is the same as the last. Where is the Elemental equivalent of really high quality planets from Galciv 2?? The joy of discovering these random gems was awesome. 3. Tons and tons of random events, these were so great in GC2, I can't believe they're n

When I receive a magical item as a reward do I have to "use" it to get the benefit? For instance, a magical compass I received says in the description that my sight has increased +1, but it kind of makes it sound like just carrying it increases my sight. Do I have to use these items to get the results? Thanks...

[quote who="otakucore2" reply="52" id="2800779"]I just bought Civilization 5, and I'm amazed by a. how polished it is [/quote] Now, I love Civ V too, but, zoom in on a city in Civ V and you'll see a few little un-animated cubes. Compare that to the full-of-life cities of Elemental. Fully animated, little people going about their lives, talking, working. Flags wave, windmills turn...I wouldn't say Civ V is more polished.

[quote who="jeffalford" reply="9" id="2801981"]Yep, food is the thing you need to start, if you are so inclined, keep starting a new game till you get food , gold , iron, and a library. Then plant your first city![/quote] Is there a short-cut key for regenerating the map...like Ctrl+N for GalCiv2?

So, resources seem very sparse and spaced out. My question is...do you guys build cities only near these resources, so your cities are very spaced out? Or do you build cities in between where there are no resources? Thanks... :)

It actually worked a few times, but it was kind of sporadic. I was searching for "caravans" ...

Thank you very much! [quote who="cpl_rk" reply="2" id="2801696"]Read these three threads: https://forums.elementalgame.com/398726 https://forums.elementalgame.com/398673 https://forums.elementalgame.com/398722 [/quote]

Sorry if this is a repeat post, the search function seems to be broken. So, would you guys mind sharing your early (or mid and end) game strategies. Like, what resources do you go for first? What buildings do you think are most important? How often, and how many cities do you build? Thanks. [e digicons]|-)[/e]

[quote who="riadsala" reply="2" id="2800693"] Multi-player options. Hotseat and PBEM. They've already stated this isn't happening. [/quote] I would love PBEM. That's probably the only way I would do MP.

The search button doesn't seem to do anything right now. I'm using Chrome. Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks. [e digicons]:|[/e]

I loved my DC...I wish I didn't sell it. Or my Saturn (the best console IMO)... a lot of the Saturn games I had fetch over $100 now... *sigh*

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="11" id="2800854"]I believe it changes right away on your profile page, while it takes a little time for it to show in the forums. Nice avatar, btw.[/quote] Thanks! :)
