[quote who="Novaburst" reply="6" id="2737914"] quoting post Sorry if it has already been explained. If you play as Kingdom, then you need to research Training and subsequently Fortifications. If you play as Empire, you need to research Armies and then Warrior Castes.[/quote] Thank you, that's what I needed for the FAQ.
[quote who="pmaura" reply="5" id="2737898"]just want to add fortress is a late game tech as well[/quote] Is it fortress for the empire side? Cause it's fortifications for the kingdom side.
A>> You don't have to shut down the computer to allocate the attribute points. The upper left tip of the cross icon of the movement cursor is at the same position as the tip of your mouse cursor. Did you really shut down every time you leveld up? [e digicons]o_O[/e]

There you will find the "Save Game" option. If you want to load a previous savegame, go back to the main menu and hit "Load Game". You just have to be careful that saving and loading from the main menu is for the sandbox mode only, whereas you have to click on the "Campaign" button first before you are a
I second that. The battles don't need to be much more complex, the focus must be on the units and their special abilities/resistances, they have to be more complex. Combat in Master of Magic wasn't that complex, it was engaging because every single unit had at least one special ability and magic wasn't as useless as in Elemental.
Mana?
I think it's still bugged at the moment. There are supposed to be maintenance cost, you can see all the permanent spells listed in the "Enchants" section of your sovereign/caster when you click on them, but I do not really see any penalty to your maximum essence.

That's very nice indeed! May I use your information in the Elemental FAQ thread? It would benefit the thread a lot, I think. I will dedicate this section to you and state your username.
Good idea. I changed it accordingly. If anyone has a question, please state it in here so we can collect and compile them.
Maybe you forgot to raise the immediate cliff/beach that is connected to the land. It's not enough to raise the first water tile. It is possible to walk over raised land, I did.
now it looks more like it...
Try deactivating Anisotropic Filtering if you haven't already. It drains a lot of power.
You all forgot the REAL reason why the game does not have hexes: It is far easier to program and mod with a square tile system compared to hexes. Since I assume that we all like a highly and easily modable game, it may not be the perfect decision to stick with squares, but it is the right decision.
yeah, I think that's better... [e digicons]^_^[/e]
[quote who="Zyxil" reply="17" id="2736214"]Super noob Q: How do I give my guy a weapon? The tutorial info and manual kinda suck.

If you don't have enough money to hire a champion, the talk option is automatically deactivated.
well, plus different monsters that you can train, a few different items you get to equip and slightly different focus on city improvements. It's nothing deep but it's a little bit more than cosmetic.
It's in the diplomacy tech tree, so you seem to have missed it.
[quote who="_Scooter_" reply="14" id="2735285"]How about: "How can I see how many free tiles I have left at my current city level?"[/quote] That's already included in question number 4.
[quote who="rossanderson48" reply="11" id="2735241"]Hrmmm wella what do I need just to improve Civilization techs faster??[/quote] Arcane research (magic and spells) is provided by ancient temples. Tech research (technology trees like Civilization and Imperium) is provided by lost libraries. Both research is also provided by certain champions and city improvements, but ancient temples and lost libraries are the main providers.
