Also, outposts never become cities -- they are a way to extend your control to wild resources without the necessity of building a city to claim them. May I recommend playing the tutorial and watching the tutorial videos? They contain all of the information I just stated, answering your question in-game.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="1" id="2988378"]Yes. If it goes under, then preusmably they'll deal with it. But I doubt Gamestop would have bought it in order to shut it down.[/quote] I don't know about going under, but I was on Impulse yesterday and about every link on the app took you to the GameStop website with the incorrect games, wrong images, etc. Oh yeah, also they kept recommending used consoles, console games, and the new GameStop Download service -- Hello? Isn't tha
I just finished the book tonight, and having read the reviews on Amazon prior to purchasing the book, I disagree with their criticism. In my opinion, it's not a terrible book, it's not bad at all. Although the plot fits the basic fantasy trope, it's not necessarily unoriginal. Ignoring any literary complaints (which, for a first novel by a software developer, exceeded my expectations), my biggest complaints are the obvious prequel stature of the book and the surprising lac
Ah... Oh, well. The v1.1-1.2 improvements have been great so far. Maybe I can look forward to these in v1.3... along with disbanding ships. [e digicons]:|[/e]
[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="7" id="2932523"] Quoting greggbert, reply 6I don't mind it. I know how to make roads go mostly where I want and it works. It's a little weird to create a city just to build a road through a forset and then disband the city, but that works for me also. You can also build the caravans to build the roads then disband the caravans... then make new caravans to build new roads.[/quote] However, it's still using a screwdr
Some diplomacy questions: 1) Where do you find out how many seasons are left in a Treaty? 2) How do you end a Treaty before it ends? Thanks!
As of v1.2, this is still an issue, especially in late-game situations with lots of transport ships.
I've seen a lot of gripes on the forum, the past day or so, about how disappointed some people are with certain factors of the patch; but in terms of the general direction the game seems to be taking -- I'm very satisfied. My opinion of Elemental now is that the game is moving towards something that more resembles Master of Magic in gameplay and mechanics, as opposed to the "Fantasy GalCiv" that it was. With regards to the game mechanics, everything seems to be moving in the right direction f
[quote who="davidabc66" reply="7" id="2550213"]Over 10 is pushing it. I figure most kids haven't done much PC video game playing prior to being at least 6-8, and even that's probably a little low.[/quote] Speak for yourself: my 4-year-old plays the hell out of Titan Quest and Plants vs. Zombies. Once he's able to read a little better, I'll let him start on Master of Orion II (which he begs to play) and Elemental (when it comes out).

This made me think about ruined cities and their prospects in Elemental (with regards to this discussion). Lots of possibilities for when a new settlement is established on or near city ruins or even a recently razed city? Just a thought.
