Chomping at the bit, here....

Super excited to see what FE is all about. I was in the the WOM beta REALLY early, so I'm hoping that means that I get access to FE early! BRING IT ON, STARDOCK! I'll need something after my Skyrim addiction to get excited about, haha!
After? Ah, boo! I see that Anno 2070 is out. Do you have it? If so, is it any good? I liked the demo, but didn't like the mission structure/story. It has the sandbox mode, right? Skyrim is consuming me at the moment, anyway. Have some ~40 hours in to it already. Doesn't meant I wouldn't like me some Fallen Enchantress, though.
I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to know if the beta for FE is still slated to begin around Thanksgiving (i.e. soon). Would you please provide us an update? Bitte? S'il vous plait? Por favor? Pozhaluista? Alstublieft? Alright, you get the point. I (we) really want to know. Please.
That didn't fix it on my end.
This can't be right. This update didn't update as stated here...
I don't think it's like any of those analogies, really. I'm just saying that they should give WOM some of what makes FE a better game. I'm not saying ALL of it, just the things like UI, champions, world variety, etc. That shouldn't be THAT hard to do and I wouldn't see it do anything but make the game BETTER.
I tried searching for the answer to this by reading your posts, but could not find one, and my curiosity is killing me. Why, if Fallen Enchantress REALLY is a much better product than WOM, do you not begin incorporating some of the better mechanics/graphics/UI from FE in to WOM? From what's been said by Derek, even just adding FE's new UI would be a significant improvement. This would be obvious, easy way to improve the experience, no?
OH HELL YES! I can't wait to hear more! Bring it on! I will do everything I can to help!
Love it. This would add a lot to Elemental. It could still include some resources, but they wouldn't be as important to finding a city, just an added bonus if you found em. Great post!
Here, I've posted my last CTD, becuase at this point, it's getting a little ridiculous: http://pastebin.ca/2023502
[quote who="Vyarloq" reply="5" id="2850281"]The version 1.1 seems a little more CTD prone on my system than any of the betas leading up to the 1.1 release?? No idea why. I CTD at autosave of turn 110, then CTD again at Turn 145. I am attaching both debug.err files for your perusal. Have fun. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17063795/Elemental1_1-2010-12-18T17-45-58-685.zip and http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17063795/Elemental1_1-2010-12-18T19-08-14-301.zip BTW, I a
Yeah, you're right. I'll stay patient. :) I'll just play more Elemental...
Bump for devs attention...
Stardock? You there still?
+1 Karma for you, sir. Excellent post!!
And I agree, Diplomacy could really use a kicker. That, and character development. Skills or skill trees would be awesome. Oh, and making the dynasty system better. Or making the factions more varied/different. (Or giving me Orcs, Elves, Undead, or other similarly drastically different factions.) Ooh, the possibilities. Could you imagine factions as varied and cool looking as those from FFH? That's part of the excitement for me in FFH, just meeting the different factions
I know, Nenjin :) Just wanted to hear what their direction was to tide us over through those holidays you speak of. I'm just really excited about Elemental's direction and like Ratatosk said, if it's nearly as awesome as the jump from 1.09 to 1.1, I'm going to die of happiness. Seriously.
FrogBrad, Kael, and company: Elemental is looking great! I can't express how happy I am with the direction it's headed in! You all deserve kudos for really reaching out to your fanbase and making serious improvements to the core game. Thank you and keep up the good work! So on to 1.2 and beyond! What's in store for us? What was your major announcement? I know you're probably not ready to talk about that, but could you give us a hint as to when you might be? Could you give us all, your faithfu
FrogBrad, I think it's as ready as it will get. I've played this whole weekend so far (5+ hours), and I haven't had a single crash. 1.1 is significantly better than 1.09, warts and all. If you're trying to simply gauge whether 1.1 is ready as is, then yes, it is very stable for me and many others. Bring on 1.2!!!
Mr. FrogBrad, your game is most certainly leaps and bounds better than it was on release. However, the pop up screens blitzkrieg, the daring strike children, and the insane number of spiderling groups in a normal game still detract from the serious progress you've made. Also, the "found city/kingdom" animation is still being blocked by the initial build screen and I still dislike that shields block my entire characters body in the equip screen. You posted an awesome list yourself on a posting I
Sorry to keep going like this, but more things occur to me! I think the city growth/level numbers are screwed up! My cities go from level 2 to level 3 WAY too quickly (like, 4 or 5 seasons sometimes!)..............Okay, that's it for a few minutes, at least.
Few more things: The different screens for "New Spell Learned", "Your City is Idle", and technology map will always pop up one right after another without giving me the chance to address any of them first. Once the last one has popped up, I can finally address them going backwards. This is pretty annoying cause I'll go to choose whatever it is that pops up first and another screen will pop up! Also, the initial city orders screen always pops up before you see the "Found Settlement" ani
What happened to the unique factions, by the way? Did they go away? I forgot or didn't read something, maybe?.... Also, while I'm thinking about it, can I suggest that every faction gets some materials and some food to start with? Those first few turns doing NOTHING with your city really kinda suck. I will also agree that armor still seems unbalanced. It's getting better, but it's not there yet.
Things I've noticed: Loading a save game still makes for some weird inconsistencies. Namely, cities "change" ownership (not really, but they're colored differently and look to belong to another faction). Loading a save game sometimes resets my standing with other factions. The EMPIRE TECH TREE seems to be all out of whack. Can someone confirm this? I almost never play Empire, but did today and all of it seemed weird and out of pl
