Is anyone else finding themselves overun by spiderling armies? Everywhere I turn there seems to be another group of 5 spiderlings with a battle rating of 27 ready to pulverise my poor armourless units, this is early game on normal. I may be misunderstanding things but I have an adventurer with 4 ap who can only move 2 squares per round in tactical battles, is this correct? Thanks for any help.
Awsome [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
I sympathise JEFCRO, I'm having the same problems, was playing last night/early this morning (really enjoying the game) and managed a long game (165 seasons) with no crashes but now after trying 2 fresh games I get the game either freezing on me or crashing to the desktop after getting just a couple of cities upto level 2. If I load the autosave I get a couple of turns in and it freezes again. Will try clearing out the Elemental folder in My Documents and see if there is som
The damage displayed when I'm attacking units or I'm being attacked doesn't always appear, it seems to miss it on the first strike of each round.
Running 1.09p and after researching equipment in the warfare tree the ai did not auto generate any new unit templates as it normally does.
The problem with changing building production from this screen is that you would have no control of where the building is placed. Obviously this wouldn't be a problem for selecting unit production but they would need to build an interface so that you know what stats and equipment the different unit types have before selecting which to produce. The short term solution of just taking you to the existing interface would be fine so long as it takes you back to the city list screen
Definitely want this, nice suggestion larienna.
Alborrelli, I have the same problem with a logitech mouse, you can assign the middle click to another button on your mouse if you have one in the logitech setup software and this will work but is not ideal.
Hi Lavitage/Aseir, 5. In the options you can set the minimum number of units required in the oposing tile to start a tactical battle, if you set this to 0 you should always be given the option.
Hi Krasny, The pdf manual in the install location has a list of keyboard commands in it, but here are the ones you wanted: Up or Num 8 Move Up Down or Num 2 Move Down Left or Num 4 Move Left Right or Num 6 Move Right I can't remember the keys to rotate the camera but if you play the campaign that gives you some instructions on moving the map around.
Select the unit you want to talk to by left clicking on them and in the details in the bottom right you should see an icon that tells you the reason when you hover over it, can't remember exactly what the icon was of at the mo, it's a bit hidden away but there is an indicator there.
In a previous post one of the dev team suggested suicide as the way to accomplish this, i.e. send the spouse of to battle the nearest fire ogre with no weapons or armour equiped. Would be nice to have a better option though as this seems a bit harsh on the poor spouse [e digicons]:'([/e] .
I've had that as well, it seems to happen when you have an active quest location close to your cities, once you have completed the quest it should look better, but yes there probably should be something done to improve the look of it.
Having a tech advance to allow guards is a brilliant idea and adds an aditional tech to the tree which is all good man. Very good idea.
satch4684, yes they have uploaded the gold build for reviews, etc so they have disabled pre order copies so we can't get at it until Sunday or Monday based on whether we beta'd it or pre-ordered it. I can still see it on my list and can't help but try installing it every hour or so just in case, I really need to get out more.
Aaaarrrrggghhh, I keep expanding the images and find myself, without thinking, trying to highlight things on the map or click on the buttons, I'm so very frustrated. Must have this game now [e digicons]>:([/e]
Thank you very much Frogboy, loved the read and really looking forward to the continuing adventures of Roland. Very excited about role playing this game, maybe on game release create an AAR Forum for people to right there own stories up for the rest of the comunity. Also bookmarks in the spellbooks now, nice.
Thats great thanks for the advice, I'd ordered from amazon uk as well and had it cancelled. Will definitely try the marketplace. Karma for you [e digicons]k1[/e]
Hi all, I'm from the UK and pre-ordered the Limited Edition during the Beta stage but would also like to get the Book Destiny's Ember, at the moment I am going to get hit with 2 lots of import duty and delivery costs if I order the book from Amazon.com (can't find it for sale in the UK now) is it likely that you will sell copies of the book, if I could get a copy bundled with the game then this would save me some money which would be very much app
Resizing as my Wallpaper right now [e digicons]:grin:[/e] . Thanks Frogboy.
I just did a sex wee in my pants [e digicons]:blush:[/e] . Totally awsome news, there honestly weren't that many creatures in the original, 15 sounds ok, gives room for expansion possibly. Will we get the Disco Inferno dance routines though?[e digicons]:D[/e]
The Tactical battle map looks awesome with buildings and trees appearing in correct proportions, really really excited about getting my hands on this game come the 24th. Loved the Beta and expect to love the more balanced game real soon. Thanks Brad and everyone else at Stardock for this labour of love. Can we see screenshots of the spell book interface has this got some love also?
[quote who="Wintersong" reply="24" id="2705688"]I hope that the Empire Tree is called Kingdom Tree when I'm playing as such. Just saying. Any news about super duper edition with "The Book" included? Anything that saves me from another extra shipping from the USA would be most welcome. Specially if it really has "extra stuff" for buying "The Book".[/quote] Hi Wintersong, On the uk amazon site it is listed and I managed to order it but they have since updated the pag
[quote quoting="post"] During the early betas of Elemental, we let users creation their own factions during the game setup. But over time, we kept getting more and more good ideas on how to make this more sophisticated that it became impractical to foist such a complex system onto the player (the UI would just get crazy). [/quote] Pretty sure that the above statement tells you everything you need to know, i.e. that faction creation will be done via xml with your choice of
Please add some sorting options to the spellbook (or have you already?). For example by: spellbook, level, type, duration, etc. This way you can more easily see what new spells you get when you collect a new book, I'd really like to be able to see what extra goodies I get when I find or I'm given that new book, you could maybe use bookmarks at the top of the book to take you to a specific group. This way you could still sort by stage (probably a better name) so you
