Could not build the shard improvement on a death shard. Had an Air shard in my territory, researched shard harvesting, built the improvement on that. Then my boarders expanded and an earth shard came into my territory. Did not want an earth shard so i cast the spell to change it into a death shard. It became a death shard. When i hilighted that tile the "build" button was there but when i clicked on it nothing would happen. Construction would never start. Hit next turn

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="1" id="3069074"]Does it need to get permission to install? Win7 or Vista?[/quote] Finally, after about 15mins, the Vista permission box popped up and asked for permission to run/install. Very odd???

Downloaded the beta setup file to my desktop. Double clicked to execute and ??? My HDD light is breaking land speed records....my hourglass is spinning like crazy...but thats been going on for like 10 minutes. Is this normal? No installation screens on the beta? Computer wont let me do anthing else. If this is not normal i may have to do a hard shutdown but i'm afraid the beta will never load correctly then if it is indeed in the middle o

[quote who="db0" reply="23" id="2788273"] can they name a single fun improvement over civ iv? I found the use of hexes and the tactical battles with the one-unit-per hex a brilliant and refreshing change. [/quote] add to that the elimination of city health, Cultural growth based off of cultural buildings and not religious buildings, the ability to persue a cultural victory with only 3-5 cities, new rules

Thanks Frogboy!!! I think I get it now. So you can't make new sovs with the ability but ones that were created with it will still have it? Organized will be very missed. SLOWS the game down a lot not having it. Looks like I will be playing with my old sovs a lot

Playing my first game in v1.08 and an opposing Sovs appears to have more lives than a cat. In my travels i came upon him with my sov group and he was alone so i attacked. Won the battle but he"escaped before the killing blow". I chased him down, attacked, won, and he "escaped" again. This happened 4 times???? Then the 5th time i chased him into him city and figured i had him then. I attacked the city, won the battle, took the city, but he "escaped" AGAIN!!! How many times in 1.08 do you have

I too noticed that in my current game someone gave birth to a boy after only about 20 turns. How is that possible. Also teleport may be 15 but spirit dance for empire is 20 mana...totally unusable and makes the early game EXTREMELY difficult. Not able to adequitely protect my cities. I was exploring and settin up my 2nd and 3rd city early game. I had 2 groups of 3 observers built in my first city protecting it which i thought was pretty good. A wandering Sov attacked my citiy and

According to the list of changes/fixes for 1.08 it says the following... + Organized Sovereign Ability removed Then it says... + Organized ability added to general special abilities What exactly does this mean? Seems to be contradictory??? Does "added to special abilities" mean it is just a natural special ability of a sov and they automatically move their arly the same amount as themselves? I have a sov i created with v1.07 and it s

Ya, I can't find organized anywhere. The OP says + Organized Sovereign Ability removed Then it says... + Organized ability added to general special abilities What exactly does this mean? Seems to be contradictory??? I have a sov i created with v1.07 and it seems to still have organized trait.

What he said^^^^ :) I still have organized at 20 pts as well

I downloaded what according to impulse is Ver 1.08b Beta last night before it was officially listed that 1.08 was released. I understand now that ver 1.08 is released but when i open impulse or the game it says it is up to date and no new upgrades are available. I'm convused? is there a difference between 1.08 and the "Beta" that i downloaded? When i start the game in the lower left corner it says 1.08 but when i open impulse it says elemental is using 1.08b Beta.

No mods are being used and I did start a brand new game. That is how i discovered the issue with Janick's (imbued champions) mana disappearing.

No hits at all here!!!!

I have numerous issues since downloading 1.08..... 1) I'm having the same problem that i have read others are having with offensive spells....miss miss miss on lightening bolt repeatedly. Have not had a hit on an offensive spell yet. 2) MAJOR issue with imbued heroes...i imbued Janick on the first turn of a new game and leveled him up to where his mana is at 10. BUT he only has the mana in friendly

I have numerous issues since downloading 1.08..... 1) I'm having the same problem....miss miss miss on lightening blot repeatedly 2) Another issue...i imbued Janick on the ifrst turn and leveled him up to where his mana is at 10. BUT he only has the mana in friendly territory. When i move him outside of friendly territory it goes to 0/10. move back in and it goes right back to 10/10. Entered a battle outside of our territory and he was useless. in tactical he had no mana

One thing that definately needs to be added to the tactical battles is the control of the placement of the units at the start of the battle. Right now you start a tactical battle and it's a pure crap shoot as to where units will start. The only constant that I have seen is that the soverign usually starts in the second row.

interesting? Can you save all the mod files in seperate folders elsewhere on your hard drive and then just copy in the files of the mod you want to use? that way it isn't all or none, just the one you want to use?

I'm a long time pc gamer but have never used mods before. EWOM seems like the perfect game to start to play with mods. I recently downloaded two maps off of this site as well as Elementerra random map generator and Undead Rising 2.0 from www.elementalgame.info , a fan site. My question is how do you use these. Obviously you have to put each of these in a certain directory and you have to select "use mods" on the options screen but w

I agree...the RPG side of this game has a lot of untapped potential from added conversation and tactical options, to the dynasty feature, etc... This is what excites me about this game. I know the devs have talked alot about the RPG aspect of this game so I can;t see them not expanding it into something much deeper as more updates/patches/expansions come out.

[quote quoting="post"] personally i'd like to see a further refinement of the strat mode, but make a big push to replace the tactical battles (probably the weakest part of the game at the moment) with.... epic, Total War style real time tactical battles. [/quote] I have to disagree. IMHO RTS games come down to about 10% strategy and 90% CPM (clicks per minute). There are even apps available for RTS games that will put an a

1) that is all that you do with the caravan. Once it reaches the other of your cities the road is created, the "little trader" begins going back and forth and the result is a bonus to food production. Trade route is established. unless/until the caraven is attacked and destroyed by enemies or random monsters 2) you cant move it to another city once it establishes a route and you can only control one caravan per city till you research "advanced trade". That increases the number of

There is also a dragon that you cna get by completing a quest called "erogg's egg???" or something like that. It is a lvl 4 or 5 quest but after completing it a dragon joins your army.

In my game, the daughter that married into my family, and became "soverign of Kraxis" after kraxis was eliminated, was still under my control. At that point i basically had 2 soverigns although her level was fairly low because she was never developed.

I was playing a game and had one of my sons marry the first born daughter of the Kraxis. She was listed as first in line to the throne of Kraxis. I ended up going to war with Kraxis and wiping out the Kraxis and i nioticed shortly after that the daughter (who was in my main city) was now listed as a soverign of Kraxis. But there was no Kraxis empire for her or me to rule but i thought it was strange that the game would now name her the soverign of an empire that no longer existed.

I thought i remember one of the pre-mades having the Siege Masters traits. Can;t remember exactly who but i believe it was a kingdom
