This is one of the main reasons (of many) I've grown bored playing this game, and sadly I'm now eagerly awaiting Civ5. Gawd I can't wait for 1.1.but luckily I'll have Civ5 which will old me over until 1.1 actually comes out (I'm betting on waaay later than now imagined... waay to much to fix).
[quote who="Rishara" reply="74" id="2772639"]I thought it was Christmas when I saw that both Elemental and Civ V were coming out around roughly the same time. I had been looking forward to both for a long time. [/quote] Luckily for you, you thought wrong. As of next week, you could have both. I'm so looking forward to v1.1 and Civ5.. then it'll be trouble deciding which to play ( IF 1.1 even partially delivers)
I came back to re-address my comment above. I still say buy it. I had a good time with it until I became very very bored with how shallow it feels. It's now sitting there unplayed for the last week. I WILL play it again, probably at 1.1 where Froggy said the real changes are happening, not 1.08. So, in the meantime, I'll play Civ5 when it gets here. To me, it's not a Civ5 vs EWoM issue.. I think both will be great. But still, buy it, you may enjoy it longer tha

To the many others who got the point (some clearly didn't and just stated the obvious about farming monsters) thanks for a discussion and thoughtful posts. [/quote] Dude. Chill.

Yes... the people that started the 1 Billion other threads about the "Out of Memory" error also feel that way. And I agree (though I don't have it often). Having said that.. could you (and everyone else) please please please use the damn "search" tool or spend 2 min looking around the forum and add to the already existing threads about this instead of cluttering the forum with so many damn repeat threads just because you're lazy and want things to be about you . </p

That would suck, actually. I hate random events that arbitrarily punish the player. It would be somewhat acceptable if the ev
They said it'd go to QA on Tues.. doesn't mean it'll be out Tues. Read the post guys. It's out there to be found out without creating new post. I guess it's Thursday at the earliest. See: https://forums.elementalgame.com/396024 "...I’m just pushing it until the next QA slot which is next Tuesday." ie tomorrow.
I think they ought to limit the amounts of cities you can build or make them really really expensive. BUT... then I would create a sort of unit that can go out and "exploit" a resource that falls outside of your influence. This would make these resources heavily fought over. In the end, city spam happens to control resources.. so make controlling of resources possible through something other than cities.
I solve this by click-hold and dragging.
I say buy it, there's a chance that you'll like it (as I do) as it is knowing it'll get better as well. At worst, you'll not love it but hopefully you believe (as many do) that it'll get better. Why risk missing out on a couple of months of fun IF you DO like it?
[quote who="Gnilbert" reply="41" id="2769149"] I originally believed the files in the "Icons" folder went in your Mods\Icons directory. xStarfirex has reported that placing them in ...\Mods\Gfx\items worked instead. [/quote] Don't you mean \Elemental\Gfx\Items instead of \mods\gfx? PS great work!

I would LOOOOOVE it if they gave us a selectable option to make things truly random. As in, I would select Diplomacy as my research, but it'd randomly pick which one of the options I'd get when research is done. It'd add a lot more "oh cool" or "Oh shit!" to the game which is sorely lacking. And please.. please please introduce truly random events. I'd love to get that message at the beginning of turn saying, "sorry dude, a fire burnt down the XXX in yo
Thanks for the update, it's always nice to hear feed back directly. However, why not just stop saying a date until you're 100%? Say "ASAP" until you know it's in the pipeline and then say "coming soon"... buy yourselves some wriggle room. I'd rather not know than expect something because you said it'd be here only to find out it'll be at least a week later? How many empty "we promises" do you get for free before we stop listening? :)
See this thread.. helps you with #4 https://forums.elementalgame.com/393211
Read the manual...ooops, nevermind, manual is of NO use. ;) 1 Crystals are a resource, like farms and gold that pops up when you've researched enough (I think it's in Adventure tree). 2 Every time you cast a summons spell, it uses one of your "Enchantment" slots. These are found when you click on the spellcaster in one of the tabs next to Actions, Vitals, and then Enchantments. 3 You can't "miss" that research. It's one of the first in Diplomacy. You either haven
Are there warships? Apparently, in all the threads I've seen, no one has actually seen the AI build a transport, muchless anything else naval.
You. Sir. Fucking. Rock. I'm not even a fan of playing undead.. but having them in my world is like having free cake. Cookie for you! EDIT: Psst.. it's funny to see skels in pants.
I remember buying the original and not being able to play it.. maybe it's time to go back and get it with all the modpacks/fixes and give it another shot. Thanks for the reminder! I'll play it while waiting for Elemental 1.1 [e digicons]:time:[/e]

[quote who="random_target" reply="17" id="2761561"] Q Another option: Show all resources, but mark the ones you don't know about as a shadowed unknown resource. Reveal and allow usage of that resource only after the relevant tech is discovered. That way, it also solves the problem of revealing resources for enemies. Should someone take your city with resources, for him it will still be an unknown resource.[/quote] G
