AGREE! I have had a time myself of left-clicking creatures to get their actual hitpoints in tactical battles rather then being able to mouse-over. Would be a great fix! ;) Sara

[quote who="Spyndel" reply="2" id="2701016"]Classes, booo. I'm afraid you're not going to sell me on the idea of "less" freedom in my Lord creation. I prefer classless systems like it is right now. What there needs to be, however, is more room for specialization though, and mechanics that encourage specialization. More special combat abilities you can buy, and mechanics like increasing successive spellbook costs to make purchasing more than one or two different sp

This has happened to me several times as well. Here is a saved game in which the bandits I killed are behaving as described by Publis of NV above: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8868376/RessurectingBanditonzoom.EleSav The bandits should be next to my sovereign. Just zoom out and in to duplicate effect. Many Thanks ;) Sara

[quote who="_Scooter_" reply="1" id="2702029"]I think we'd be better off limiting to two rings..[/quote] Why ? I always wondered why fantasy games make it so that you can only wear two rings. I had ten fingers last time I checked, and I can fit multiple rings on the same finger... A better way would be to limit the use of magical rings based on essence or something. For example, if the character doesnt have very strong

Yeah... I also have to delete archers every time I upgrade the warfare tech. I also make better custom units...... BUT I understand that there are MANY players who do not go through the trouble of making custom units and prefer a more accessible/less micro-managed system. Elemental has to have default units become available when techs increase because many players would not like or not want to bother with making a custom unit each time. The fact that default units become available o

[quote who="Krynus" reply="5" id="2702086"] You could rent a room for the night (spend gildar and the sov stays for 1 turn, heals all hp and mana/essence), listen to rumors, check for available jobs, and maybe even do some shopping. I imagine available items would vary from time to time, as adventurers came and went. [/quote] Agree! What a great idea :D Sara

[quote quoting="post"] I don't know how feasible this is, but instead of making huge tiles that can fit even the largest unit, I believe the basic tile size needs to be the size of a single humanoid unit. Then, make large units(dragons, grouped humanoids) occupy multiple tiles. That way units won't have to walk over the their opponent to be hit. [/quote] Thats how it work is the Heroes series. Bigger units (dragons, cavalry, etc) take up multiple tiles, but tile size is base

Hello:) I also experienced a crash the first time I hit the "next turn button" after a reload. I went back to the main menu from within a game, reloaded a saved game (not an autosave). When i hit the next turn. the game crashed to desktop. I believe this is a known issue, crashing when reloading from within a game, but I included everything below in case it helps at all [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Debug Err: <a href="http://

Is there a way to drop the inventory then? So we dont have a shirt in our inventory that we cannot sell... ;) Many Thanks! Sara

In Response to B G P Hughes comment about "interesting units": The other thing I still miss, is the ability to raise interesting units. One thing I liked about MoM is that each race had some interesting and different units, usually not that easy to raise. I would love to be able to get elephant riders, trolls or what-have-you via city recruitment, but that this would be something really special to achieve; a combination therefore of rare resource, rare technology or cert

In response to CreeDakota's #11 comment: i think it would be great if some random map settings would unbalance the placement of these resources, this would result in some factions being deficient in some resources and blessed with an abundance of another. The result is that your strategy (army composition, ultimate winning condition etc) would have to reflect the terrian your faction had available. If you had a start with no metal, perhaps you need to re

Yes. I have had other crashes with Beta 4, most recently a "out of memory" crash to desktop reported here: https://forums.elementalgame.com/389718/page/2/#2700398 In addition, I have had crashes on Beta 3C which are reported here with associated files: https://forums.elementalgame.com/389471 h

Oh No! If this is a bug I like it.... ;) Sara

Hello:) I have also noticed that characters (recruited heroes) do not have an equipment button until I physically give them an item by clicking and dragging an item from my sovereigns item list to their portrait. Even if they already have a weapon or armor. If I give them an item the hero will then have an equipment button below their portrait that I can access. However, their existing inventory does not register as

UPDATE: BETA 3C With the new update (BETA 3C) the g ame no longer hangs at loading screen. I have been able to succesfully start a new game. Thanks to the DEVs!!! On a related note, to see the developers of a game opening a forum like this to address problems BEFORE the release of a game is AMAZING! Major thanks and applauds to the programers, moderators, and DEVS who have patiently listened to all complaining and griping, and worked to make this game possible! M

[quote who="CariElf" reply="3" id="2674222"]I may have misunderstood this post last night; I was going through a lot of posts all day and I admit to being a bit frazzled. Can you get to the title screen, or does it hang before that? If not, is this hanging while trying to start a new game or load a save game, or both? Are there any files in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\Elemental - War of Magic\Screens? If so, that message may have j

TCores: To answer your question I am not sure if my router has a firewall enabled. As I understand all routers act as incoming firewalls in some sense. I have a NETGEAR CG814WG, if that helps. I think I can create exceptions in the router settings using "Port-forwarding" but I would need explicit directions from the DEVs pertaining to Elemental and/or Impulse in order to do that. I also think that isnt the problem because I succesfully ran BETA 2. The hangs only started after up
