Love for our women. They are our mothers, lovers and daughters. As vastly evolved as our cerebral cortexes have developed over the rest of the animal kingdom, apparantly the emotional compartments produce behaviors quite Neanderthal.

I had a terrarium in my bedroom many many years ago and had a pair of chinese box turtles. They would sleep with their heads oriented near mine at night!

I had an outdoor box turtle enclosure about 20' by 10'. 4 different species - eastern, gulf coast, 3 toed, and western varieties. I had at least one clutch of babies anually that I knew about. The pen I made allowed the babies to escape. They never barked or had to be walked or got into anything. I had other kinds, 35 at one time! And other creatures... ...ended up just keeping fish. Really loved the turtles though.

I used to keep lots of reptiles and amphibians years ago. Caught a couple pygmy rattlers and brought them home at 15. When I was 12 early one morning I went out in the woods and caught 10 pairs of Bufos marinus (cane toads) and put them in the bathtub. Funnest time ever for me until mom came in! [e digicons]:(O[/e] I used to make terrariums too. A dude who was president of our Herpetology Club down here in South Florida had his salt water croc get loose!

I am wondering if the team is suffering from burnout working on the same project for years. I hope not. For me, this is the most interesting game I have ever played. Tons of great ideas above and so I won't bother with mentioning mine. It would be a pity if you guys move on from this. Would love to download mods for the next decade!

Being a player of huge maps (mod) and many AIs (up to 28, usually 20) I would like to see the problem with the AIs accumulating massive amounts of research points fixed. I usually make it about 4 into the game, doing well with allies, recieving tributes, etc. and then I am hit with enemies that I cannot compete against technology-wise.

Well I don't know how to mod unfortunately but thanks for the advise! I love the huge maps and it's very amusing to me knowing there are a couple dozen AIs out there to contend with. It's always in the middle of the game when I have beautiful cities growing and have plenty of crystal to sell to the other AIs, thinking "I am doing well". Too bad, I really hope something can be done, because spending 4 or 5 hours making a little realm only to have it crash without muc

I played my first game in a month (had to take a break). 16 players with teammates. I play on huge maps. I was or thought I was doing well enough until I got invaded. I always lag behind in Research even though I buy into/accept tech treaties with everyone possible. I am fielding squads of 3 against 7. 1) What does technology treaty give me? It does not accelerate research in anything. At least on my machine. I am always tremendously behind the other players, even whe

I find the graphics incredible! Very exciting in the early game to find yourself alone in a huge world surrounded by magic and monsters. The camera and resulting views are what give the game much of it's beauty in being able to afford various vistas of the realm. I don't consider it or any game "perfect", but I would still offer 5 stars. It's going to be interesting to see where Stardock goes with Elemental over the months and years...

What is so great about this game? Been curious for years but it used to cost a bit much to me.

How many AIs did you have in the game? I like huge maps with 15-27 AIs. I never make it into late game as I am always out-teched. I can't make Heroes either. I suk. Love to know what I am doing wrong. I get tribute, tech and trade treaties, am told how handsome I am (*sigh* redundant), then I get the pimp sword on my crown. I play team against team. Maybe I should make a video so you can have some laughs at my awesome impotence! [e digicons]:meow:[/e] (Someo

Sorry I don't see where I can make a new post? I am having troubles. I can no longer increase my army size. I start out with 3 units. Then as I research advances that increase the size, nothing changes. I end up with groups of 3 fighting groups of 7. I have been playing against and with 16 to 28 AIs on huge maps. Anyone else have this or suggestions? Thanks.

OK the last game I played was on a mod. A huge map. 2 teams of 9 v 9. So 18 players. My teammates each have around 95,000 points in civiliation, 15,000 in magic and 10,000 in warfare so I guess the enemy must be similar. I have been getting tributes and trade offers, etc. I thought I was doing well and when the enemies declared war on my they were advanced comparitively. I think I am going to go back and have my allies declare war on them so help me out!

Wow noone else responds...*crickets*...? The AI will have many TENS of thousands of points sometimes to my hundred or so. I don't get it. Obviously some of you do. I was just curious if I was doing something wrong?

Outstanding job on this game. Poor performance on my behalf though! Can someone please tell me how to properly conduct research trading? I will have maybe a hundred or so in a category versus thousands per AI players? I had a last game whereby I seemed to be doing well and was recieving tribute, trades, etc. only to get massacred by a AI that was more "evolved". I initiated trades, pay for research but it does not seem to make a difference - nothing happens in the
