After I patched to 1.08 from 1.07, my offspring do not have any characteristice of either parents. What's going on here? In 1.07 my offspring inherited the traits of either the male or female, and had a large essence of around 100 I think. Thank you
I cannot figure out how to view all the icons representing cities and armies when the space at the left of the screen when it gets filled up. Is there a way to scroll up and down to view the ones at the top and bottom of the list?
I generated a game with a really great map. If there is not a way to re-use this map in another game, there should be. Is it possible, or can it be done already?
I love Elemental. Brad and Stardock are awesome. I am not a serious techie but I am a PC gamer. I am not "plugged in" like most others as far as I can tell with their ipods, texting, social networks, etc. One of the things I have learned about the whole "plugged-in" crowd and IM etiquitte is that there is no way to tell the maturity level of the people you are communicating with(much less the lingo). There really should be some way of people getting some idea wh
[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="134" id="2750638"] 3. Does anyone have strategy advice on using Imbue Champion and children with Essence? So far most of my champions have seemed too valuable to risk, and those I do risk I keep in one powerful stack with the ruler. I've used Adventurers for their movement bonus and Janusk because I might be able to afford to lose +1 gildar, but researchers, lore masters, and administrators I've always left at home. <br /
How can I recruit Ogres? I conquered a minor faction next to an Ogre encampment. I can't figure out which tech is needed to recruit the ogres. Thanks
Please compile and list all of the mechanics associates with each attribute, spell, modifiers, etc. Many are either missing or just not determinable. Either add it into the game itself or post it on a forum. I.e. Exactly what is the effect of the Blunt weakness? is it a % or a number range?. What are the limits on the numbers of structures built on each level of city? Why can't I cast city enchantments on my cities. I cannot figure it out, and it is frust
First Impressions of EWoM: After following the forums for over a year, I spent my first couple days playing the game. I love it! Here are my issues: I cannot tell which Technology I am currently researching from the Tech menu screen. Whenever a breakthrou occurs, you get a screen showing the potential techs available for research, then the tech screen comes up. I can click through the various categories and rea
I've been waiting 15 years for this! It looks amazing and I can't wait to recieve my Limited edition. Will pre-orders ship on the 24th or before? I have been trying to determine the exact makeup of my customized soveriegn, but scouring the journals for the data on talents, histories, and other stats is not fun. Please release some parts of the manual or otherwise give information peraining to soveriegn customization prior to the 24th! I want to know exactly how

[quote who="Spitz" reply="2" id="2697939"]I'm curious whether some of the lore in the sample will be present in the game as well. [/quote] I am also wondering if reading the book ( Destiny's Embers )will give you any advantages in playing the game or the master quest? It's great marketing the book with the game, but other than giving depth to the EWoM world, will knowing for example that a certain quest/Item is found
Have there been previous discussions as to how we will be able to download mods once someone creates them? I am not very good at opening files and makiing syntax changes, etc. It would be most welcome if there was a designated site where nn-technical players can see a description of the mod and have a one click "download mod xyz" botton where it automativcally unpacks itself into the correct game files, and presto, you now have a new item on the campain menu or faction menu, etc.&
[quote who="fairwater" reply="100" id="2691822"] Quoting MarshalKylen, reply 97 WARNING: Massive Idea Dumping Ahead One of the foundations of the fantasy genre in general and also Elemental in specific is that the world is untamed and has many dangers hiding in it. The betas have done a pretty good job creating this feel, but there is still more that can be done. I think that large areas of land should remain un
[quote who="DarkSide73" reply="76" id="2689030"] From a military standpoint - why can't we built lookout towers or forts or basically city tiles that are strictly military oriented. This would give us fair warning if an enemy is interloping in our territory. They don't even have to be that sturdy - but just give a decent line of site [/quote] Not being a Beta tester, I get excited just reading these journals. I am hoping you will con
Have defensive walls been completely eliminated? If so is there any way to defend or provide a static defense for our buildings or cities other than confronting the invader with an army?
[quote who="nitey47" reply="57" id="2682277"] In the games that I've played, learning spells is far too fast, so you really don't get time to really appreciate the spells that you learn at least in my opinion. In the last two games I played I was learn a spell almost every turn or every other turn. I didn't really pay any attention to what I put in my spell queue because I learned them so quickly. While aspects of the game are too slow, spell learning IMO is too quick. Also, it's not always c
I like Tormy's Watchtower Idea. Is there anything like this in the lastest iteration? (see Reply #66 and its link)
[quote who="Tormy-" reply="27" id="2681866"]Good stuff, but I say it again: The cities are way too close to each other. The whole map is covered with cities. There is almost no open space between the settlements. It just looks wrong, but maybe it's just me who finds it annoying. That being said, I hope that we can modify the min. settling distance. [/quote] I second that. The cities can get to crowded/close to eachother. I
I am totally stoked about this game ! Perfecting the MOM model (with Stardock's signature of course!) with 15+ years of computer advances makes me drool. Even reading all these posts and journals is exciting, though I am no beta tester. This is shaping up to be a dream game come true that will be so goood it adversly affects my health that I stay up all night for weeks on end with long, large map games, while blis
Again, not having knowledge of this whole thread....And hoping it is not too late to post here...and begging forgiveness for not filling in the details.... There has to be a RECALL SOVEREIGN/HERO/ARMY SPELL in order to defend cities while you are fighting far from home. Spell Name : Recall Sovereign/Hero/Army Spell Effect : teleports Sovereign/Hero/Army to any city you control.</span
I have not read this whole post and I do not post much myself. I am not a beta tester. I hope I am not infringing on any posting /forum etiquitte. Here are some spell ideas I'd like to have considered. 1. Invisible stealth Army 2. Tactical 3.? 4.? 5.? 6. makes army invisible to other amries/NPC's for a certain number of turns. the Army will be ingored until it initiates an offensive action. __________________ 1
SWEET. Finally I get the answer I wanted. You just sold another limited ed! Keep up the good work Stardock!
OK, so you are saying that the BOX version always includes the DVD? Why then does it say DOWNLOAD? and shouldn't it be clear that it includes the DVD? And I'm not referring to the music only DVD. I'm talking the GAME DVD.
Wrong. Pre-order options only include the Download option. I do not have a working internet connection. Why can't I order the box with a CD/DVD? Or If I can please direct me to the appropriate spot. Wait a sec....It looks like Amazon is advertising te Limited edition retail version with a DVD. Please confirm this for me, AS I MUSTY HAVE THE DVD to play the game. Also, I'd rather buy it directly from Stardock, so why ar
