[quote who="Raven X" reply="11" id="2385445"]I was thinking more specifically from MoM where you Wizard doesn't die permanently as long as you have a Wizard Tower in a city. If you're defeated in battle your Wizard retreats to his next Wizard Tower via spell until all his cities with Wizard Towers are destroyed.[/quote] This is exactly what happens in AoW2 as well - as long as you have a city with a wizard tower left, your "wizard" simply shifted to a new wizard tower upon being defea

[quote who="Rosco_P" reply="8" id="2385193"]I overheard a couple of the programmers talking about adding IPoAC game play. Not sure how they'll combat the latency issues, though.[/quote] [e digicons]:moo:[/e] Joke, right?
Yes, I also wouldn't want the game to just end when the Sovereign is defeated. On the other hand, there must be a reasonable cost to having your Sovereign defeated (unlike AoW2) and also finally killing the Sovereign shouldn't be too tedious or just a mop-up operation.
[quote who="ChongLi" reply="2" id="2384917"]How is PBEM going to work with tactical combat?[/quote] No tactical combat when fighting against another human, but full tactical battles against the AI - that's how it works in AoW, so I think that it will be the same here, if implemented.
I am facing the exact same issue, although I have not tried re-installing the game. [link="http://pastebin.com/fb21e411"]Debug.err[/link]
[quote who="Wintersong" reply="4" id="2383785"] the question 18 (I think) didn't allow me to add a comment because of something about format (and no explanations of what exactly so I left it blank).[/quote] Yep, same with me - I couldn't add the comment that I really wanted to.
[quote who="SnallTrippin" reply="324" id="2383726"] That's actually the full game, mwhahaha we fooled you!![/quote] Lol, I doubt if I can be fooled after reading "the beta won't be fun" about ten times! Well, it is not fun, but that's not what I pre-ordered it for :)
Pre-ordered it about 12 hours ago. Just downloaded and managed to start the game, but I still have to figure out how to play it [e digicons]:blush:[/e] Probably the first game I ever pre-ordered!
I have read about this kind of problem when there is a problem with the Visual C++ redistrubutable or something. I think I read about it in the EU Rome forums.
I don't think that that happens in most strategy games. I have seen it in many FPS games, of course.
Thanks, now all I need is to have the game run - I haven't tried it yet!
[quote who="FidelCastrol" reply="52" id="2380174"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 49I hope people still appreciate that if Elemental isn't available at retail in Europe. Who cares about retail when we can have digital if (and it seems to be the case) it is fairly priced, I don't mind getting the latter.[/quote] That will definitely result in a financial setback to Stardock - retail is still the dominant method of selling games, AFAIK. I started getting games digitally just
Thank you guys for your interest. I read what Brad wrote - he mentioned several times that the beta won't be fun. I took it seriously, but this is the genre of games that I love the most. Fantasy TBS FTW!!! And with Stardock making the game, what more could I ask for? I could ask for a chance to see the game early (even if stripped), to have a tiny, miniscule influence on the game by being a good beta tester. Plus, I would have bought the game when it came out for sure, even if were to be as
Thanks to both of you for your quick reply :) The question about integrated gfx cards was more of the "what if" type - I have a 9800GTX+ ready for my system when it gets upgraded, which could be as soon as i5's arrival here :D All right, so I think I am going to pre-order it tomorrow (23 Sep) and I should be ready soon enough to start playing the beta. My friend is not into gaming, but I will leave it to him to decide if he wants to gift the game or use the CC directly on my a
Hello guys, I have been a big fan of TBS games, and seeing my friend play GC2 made me burn with jealousy, but until a few months ago I had no way to pay using a CC or paypal; and I couldn't find the game in retail stores. To the main point: I am very much in love with fantasy TBS games, so much so that I am thinking of pre-ordering Elemental even though it won't be out for a long time (Stardock Rep is very high, from what I have heard). I have a few questions, and I would be grateful
