When creating a sovereign, the game allows you to include double-quotes (") in the sovereign name. On save, it attempts to create a file name like: "Sovereign Name"_-1234567890-10.xml This fails because these are all illegal filename characters in Windows: " \ / : * ? | Further, the game does not warn the user and prompt for a new name. Instead, it silently fails, and the newly-created sovereign is mysteriousl

Heh. This is why I look for Tom's reviews (and diaries ), regardless of whether I agree with his conclusions (although he's pretty fair here). [quote who="PC Gamer review"]"Periodically Able" ... If your sovereign dies in enemy territory, your whole empire is wiped out. So when you take the town they’re in, do enemy sovereigns run from this newly hostile territory? I’ll give you a

It's still in. Here's a lovely picture of a volcano parked on what used to be the capital of Gilden: https://forums.elementalgame.com/394500 Seems a bit overpowered as-is, but it's at least not bland :P

ModelScale (e.g. 0.5000 >) in the unit xmls works (at least, it does for sovereigns and champions). I haven't tried using UnitScale in the Race/RaceType xmls, but if that isn't working, I imagine you could modify ModelScale for the actual units (assuming you're copying from CoreUnits.xml to make your own).

If you kill off a faction (the last city + sovereign) with a volcano (level 10 fire spell), the game doesn't correctly recognize the killer. I killed off Markinn(Gilden) with a volcano and saw this: (Etruvis = my faction, Principia Dominae = my sovereign)

Note: It looks like there's a bug that lets your gold go negative if you can't afford the city founding cost. I tried this with a cost of -500 and ended up with -400 gold but never saw the CityBuildNoMoney message from elemental.str.

From the PC Gamer review comments, people are more upset by the QT3 post than by problems with the product. Tom doesn't really sound biased, but I think he needs to fill in some of the details (e.g. link to forum posts about why MP is disabled and for how long). It's too bad that his rig is having so many conflicts with the game. I personally haven't seen a white screen (or had nearly as many crashes as he describes).

The enemy/AI had 3 cities with overlapping borders. After I conquered 1 city, borders/ZoC around the remaining cities became corrupted. Save before conquering city debug.err for this session Here are the borders before conquering the first city

Slowdown in 2B has been mentioned elsewhere, but I can't find a general performance thread. I'm seeing huge stutters on the end of nearly every turn. This is probably the best way to describe it: <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="3

EDIT: The crash seems to be caused by standing in an army while casting Summon Wilding or Famine. If I move the sovereign to a separate tile, then both spells cast without crashing. --- I get a crash on Summon Wilding, but I'm getting a crash on Famine (summon troll?) now also. Earlier in the game, Famine was castable without crashing. <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8067364/Beta_2b/Crash-Casting-Famine/Elemental0_804-2010-06-27T10-19-18-8

Here's a "Lost Goods" tile that can't be walked to, possibly because it's not a full square (edge of a beach): Save: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8067364/Beta_2b/Unwalkable-Tile/B2B-err-Unwalkable-tile.EleSav

In 2B, if I set "Anti-Aliasing OFF" then try to take a print screen (Alt-PrtSc or PrtSc), the resulting screenshot is all black (the game screen looks fine). If I reset it to "2x", restart the game, and hit Alt-PrtSc again, the resulting screenshot is fine. If I reset it to "Off", restart, and hit Alt-PrtSc again, the resulting screenshot is once again black. Prefs.ini: <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8067364/Beta_2b/Black-PrintScreen-with-AA-off/Pref

Scenario: Click "Load Game". The Load menu appears, with the Main menu in the background behind it (normal). Double-click (quickly) to load the save that is in the same screen position as the "New Game" button. Instead of loading the save as expected, the New Game menu appears but can't be interacted with (including the "Back" button). It's essentially stuck and has to be killed via the Task Manager. Note: After Ctrl-Alt-Del to Task Man

A couple of turns after training a Frigate, I noticed that: The Frigate was parked in the middle of my city and couldn't be moved. All of the NPCs that had been stationed in the city were 1 square outside of it (exactly where they end up if you hit the Eject button on the in-city NPC icon). I'm not sure what I did to get the Frigate from stationed t
