Beta 2A Problem: Crash when restoring from Alt-tab with a popup box with the message DX Fail File Dx-Error_Elemental.zip contains the following: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8105715/DX_Error_Elemental.zip DxDiag.txt debug.err Prefs.ini
When can we get a video of tactical battles? RTS vs. Turn/Tile base How big can battles get (number of units)? If battles are small I would like to see something more like RTS (w/pause) tactical battles like those in NWN/Spell Force. I never liked the hex turn-based combat in MOM. WINNER. TAKE. ALL. I would like to see the option to retreat and a chance of npc's/units captu
I don't see how a story (good/bad) is going to have any impact on game play. I would like to see more character interaction and/or random events with npc's. Where not every npc can be hired, trusted, married. Interacting with npc's would be far more interesting than managing buildings in a city. Some npc's would bring you quests or want something in return for joining you. Npc (I am my own man/women) - each ncp would have their own likes/dislikes hidden (your em
Will tactical battles be something like NeverWinter Nights down to the character level or hex based (Kings Bounty)? I think the tactical battle system could make or break the game. Would really like to see a video of tactical battles!
I does seem funny that for a game of magic, we won't see any, until almost the end of the beta!
I can already tell Elemental is going to be a time killer, would really like to see an in-game clock (something like what was in Civ 4).
Game crashes when Caravan enters city How to Reproduce: 1. Load saved game B19Ele.Sav 2. Tab to find Caravan 3. Move Caravan into city (crash) File B10Ele.Sav.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8105715/B10Ele.Sav.zip Zip contains B10Ele.Save DxDiag.txt
I have party that contains npc's, wolfs, and army units but, only the npc's level up. So should non-npc's creatures and army units level up?
[quote quoting="post"] I get the following error: C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Elemental\Elemental.exe This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem. I can't get the beta to run. No matter how many reinstalls I attempt it won't actually run. When I try to run it from within impulse I don't even get this error, it just sits there and no new process is created in
The quests are take them or lose them, if you don't take a quest at an inn, it goes away (lost)! The issue with multiple quests, the map only shows the locations of current quest location needed to complete quest (escort to estate). There is no way to view or track multiple quests (list of open quests) or be able to see multiple locations needed to complete them.
My party was doing an escort quest from an inn, on the way to the estate, I had to pass through two other inns, only path between sea and mountains, I kept getting new quests for each inn I passed through. Please limit the quests to one at a time, so if I'm already escorting some one and have to pass through a inn, I won't pick up another quest on the way.
Bug: Game Hangs after next turn It looks like if a party ends a turn at an inn, hangs the game! No debug file found How to Repeat: 1. Load saved game file A1.EleSav 2. Build something at city (merchant), to take the focus/cursor off of party located at inn. 3. Click Next turn 4. Turn completes game hangs! If you load the same game and just click next turn everything is ok. Issue is when party ending a turn at an Inn
SuperTimo - are you using an ATI graphics card with 10.5 drivers? I see the same things: 1. Happens after coming back from the research screen after a research area is completed. 2. Happens sometimes 3. I also get invisible creatures (this really sucks when you get killed by them!) When it ha
[quote who="gapper4" reply="2" id="2651722"]As it is, the game pretty much gives you a reason to murder hapless scientists, merchants, and farmers if you can't afford to hire them. That kinda dilutes the whole RPG dimension. If you want to play a "bad" king, you murder strangers. If you want to play a "good" king, you still have to murder strangers. I suppose you could set your own house rules and let these guys be, but the game is encouraging you to behave like a bastard. How about a sy
Game Victory (conquest) seems to be based on last leader left, not cities, I won my first game when the leader of the another kingdom died when attacking one of my cities! That other kingdom had more bigger cities. I do agree, if your spouse dies then you should be able to re-marry.
[quote who="ZehDon" reply="7" id="2651781"]I tend to agree; I usually end up with a couple of powerful NPCs and my Sov, and then any NPCs I encounter I kill because leveling them up is simply not practical. Inns having repetable quests (kill quests, escort quests, etc.) from the numerous Inns would work well (and remove the need for a million Inns in the world) as well as the aforementioned Den idea from Fall From Heaven would work pretty well in terms of allowing NPCs to be levele
I just won my first game, it ended when the leader of a another kingdom died, attacking one of my cities, 1. City Improvements: It seems every building just gets you more things (weapons, food, armor, etc.) or (money, points(r
Is the number of NPC's fixed per game or do new ones (non-children) get created during a game? Is the number of NPC's your empire can have fixed by (existing number of npc's, number of cities, size of empire, etc.)?
I know many parts of the game are disabled/not available but, it does seem there are just not enough things to kill or ways to level up low level npc's. Having a low level npc in a party with a high level npc. is just suicide for the low level npc. Some methods to help level up npc's: 1. Regen of creatures for some areas on the map (based on approaching level of npc's). Sort like if an approaching npc is less than level 3, then randomly ge
[quote who="Nick-Danger" reply="1" id="2649971"]Drag and drop -- the transfering chars don't need to be grouped (at least in previous betas, only tried it in beta 2 with those in same party, and dragged the item onto the receivers small circle icon in the party list (above the bottom bar to the right of center -- the char icon on the far left of the screen should work too). edited -- just checked, you can transfer items between widely separated chars using the cha
