Ok, I'm going to list a few points (they've probably already been mentioned but hey, at least you know more than 1 person wants these fixed). I hope this doesn't come across as a wall of text because I want this to be easy to read. But these points are from a person kinda losing patience with the game, and fixing these would be a sure fire way of getting me and others like me to keep playing (and buying expansions). I know a lot of this will sound harsh, but it's completely constructive

I can understand a lot of what you're saying, but to be honest you could have said the same without insulting the people who do enjoy the game. But I get it. [quote who="Fearzone" reply="9" id="2777562"]Everyone has their own taste in games. There is no shame in keeping your opinions to yourself.[/quote] Which opinions would those be? Good? Bad? You obviously are talking about bad opinions, which the OP has, since you're posting your comment here. I don't see anyone tryi

I've seen this as well. I thought it was the auto battle that was making them use up all their spell points, but even after manually doing an easy tactical battle, almost all of them went to 0 mana points. Bad bug.

[quote who="solidsmooky" reply="33" id="2775875"] Frogboy, regarding the 1.08 game I played yesterday. I was lucky enough to be placed next to 2 fire shards which meant I immediately tech'd up to shard harvesting. It also meant once I had this, I was unstoppable. Because of the huge bonuses spells get from shards. I was able to one shot everything with the level 1 fire spell which costs 2 mana. I did an average of 24ish damage to every unit twice per round. I never bough

[quote who="thisisretarded" reply="8" id="2775636"]i am not going to complain about that because i am assuming that this means that they are working on a way to improve the road system...right? (plus i think i did enough complaining yesterday) [/quote] Same here, deja vu, didn't I complain about this very thing last night? Wow, nerfed one day and removed the next, that was fast. If they are working on road systems or improving movement in the game,

[quote who="greggbert" reply="9" id="2775813"] A moron with 6 extra food for the first 300 turns of the game. I built 2 and they produced a few hundred guildar before I eventually wrecked them.[/quote] Actually, I didn't think about that for some reason. That's a pretty good idea; get your money's worth out of it then destroy it.

[quote who="Haldur" reply="34" id="2774626"] Quoting HallowedBMyName, reply 27 And "organized" is one of the few skills that helps keep the pace of the game, when I would otherwise get bored and quit because of some of the bugs and such. If you've been following the forums, Organized has been considered overpowered by many players. Personally, I'd favor removing Organized entirely, but adding powerful (expensive) spells to replace it, for those who want to go t

[quote who="thisisretarded" reply="20" id="2774583"]1 food for 1 gilder? 1 gilder for 1 tech point? organized takes 20 out of 50 points to obtain? no change to the tedious slow pace of combat? boo. [/quote] Great set of fixes, but I'm also concerned about the above mentioned. Food is already scarce, so why spend it to get 1 gildar? That makes no sense to me. And "organized" is one of the few skills that helps keep the pace of the game, when I

[quote who="Das123" reply="98" id="2772920"] Campaigns are a one-off couple of hours deal. Real races would be forever.[/quote] [quote who="wayninja" reply="95" id="2772884"] If I look at in terms of someone who doesn't get it for 'free' and am paying 20 dollars for it (which I know is only true for book 3), shouldn't I expect it to deliver 20 dollars worth of entertainment? If the actual book 2/3 campaign doesn't deliver more than an hour or 2

I know some of these have already been asked for, but I just want to put them again because a lot of people also want them. 1. Dungeons you can enter and lead to more treasure/loot/quests. This would also lead to more intricate quests instead of just escort and kill this quests; 2. Moddable interface; 3. MoM mod, of course :); 4. Access to the python code to make better mods; Any tutorials on the above type of mods would go a long way to help the moddin

[quote who="agio" reply="3" id="2765338"] Good I'm glad they're hearing it. I like this game but the slow-ass tactical combat is killing me! (And just auto-resolving seems to mean your Sov will always fire off his most mana-expensive spell, even if it's just against a lvl 1 Darkling.)+[/quote] This, so true. I hate auto resolving because of exactly that, that mana I was building up over the turns will slowly go down and down. And especially if you're playing on the cloth m

Finished my play through of a game on normal difficulty, normal map size. Found some more issues to go along with my other post. I didn't reply to that one because I wasn't sure if it would be seen, and there's a sizable amount of issues. 1. At some points in the game, the TAB button stops working; it will get to a point where it will not go to your next unit anymore. Even if you have 10 units that have movement points, it will not work. Sometimes it will start up again on it's own (2

Ok, thx for the reply. I wasn't worried so much about people not knowing what's going on, but more about how you guys are dealing with going over the same issue again and again. But if you guys are ok with it, no problem.

Maybe I'm not supposed to post this, or maybe it's been asked before, but I was wondering if a moderator can make a sticky thread of known issues/bugs in the game. 2 reasons for this: I post issues sometimes and it's hard to search to see if those bugs have already been posted because the wording can be different. And also because it's difficult to tell whether a developer has seen a particular issue. I know that the mod's/dev's read the forums, especially the support forums. But so many issu

These are some of the bugs and inconsistencies I've run across while running through a recent game. And yes, my video card is old; this is a dell dual core with a x1400 ATI card. My real laptop is in for service, and this one runs the game like crap on the main map. BUT if you play in cloth map only, it's actually pretty smooth and fun. And these are the most recent drivers that support the x1400, I believe (omega drivers). This is fully patched up to the recent version, with no mods.

Umm, I'm just hoping that the math is wrong in someone's code somewhere ... I wouldn't want to run into that thing in my games.

[quote who="Axis1354" reply="48" id="2747278"]Been trying to use this (and a few other mods) and am having a hard time, I downloaded it extracted the files and put them in C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Elemental\Mods There was no \Mods folder so I believe I was supposed to make it?

It's good to see that the team is constantly working on making this better; because to be honest, it needs a lot of work (i.e. game breaking bugs that are still affecting me). I think it's good you're putting bugs and such first on your list, but with the constant overarching complaints about fundamental game issues, this should never be far from your minds. There's key issues in the magic, tactical battles, overall fun factor in the game that need to be addressed. But I have faith that with

I posted this in another thread, but it's the same issue, so I'll post it here too. Same alt-tab issue, nvidia 8800gts, core 2 duo 2.4ghz laptop; Full screen of course, window mode fixes it but it takes a performance hit for me. http://pastebin.ca/1926966

Sigh, still happening with the latest patch. http://pastebin.ca/1926966 Full screen, of course. In windowed mode, it doesn't affect it, but I'm losing performance based on full screen. This is caused by alt-tabbing for me; no popup's or anything. just alt tab out of the full screen game. This is getting annoying.

I agree with almost everything the OP said (the stuff I can't agree with I haven't used yet). Also what Dethedrus and SqueekyRat mentioned, all good points. If a dev is reading this, pass this on to the other guys and get some ideas going. My only problem is, these points are so important, I can't say which needs to be worked on first because they're all so critical. In regards to the MoM references, I agree with most of them; they don't have to make things overpowered, though, like i

Not trying to insult the OP, but are you sure you put the AI difficulty on the hardest for each opponent? There's 2 difficulty settings, the AI for the wilderness stuff (raiders, monsters, etc.) and AI for each opponent. You set each of THOSE to the hardest difficulty and still found it easy? If that's the case, then I'm fairly disappointed as well. I've been playing on normal to learn the game, but I hope they fix it soon if it's that weak.

What I would like to see (which I would never EVER do, because I'm not all that great at strategy games :) ) is an option to have all the AI's teamed from the beginning. So it's basically a 1vs2, 1vs3, etc. for the WHOLE game. Now THAT would be hard, and would add a ginormous amount of difficulty to the current AI. Obviously a diplomatic victory would be out of the question ...

I didn't think anything supported the 7900gs in the higher revisions, but I did find this: Nvidia 257.21. I installed it, and I'm still getting the error. I switched it back to full screen, and it's there too. It's a bit different this time though. It didn't happen twice, then on the 3rd reload, the game looked normal, but it was super slow (2 - 3 fps). Then if I zoomed out, there was no cloth map, no figures of units, nothing except the white screen like before. If I reloaded the gam
