Lord Xia should cast the game, that would be awesome!

Mmm, popcorn with lots of butter and a cherry Icee. This is getting good.

Charisma is not as powerful as prior but honestly stacking multiple charisma build heroes in the same city is uber for mid to late game. Power leveling a city to level 5 once your housing is in order and then casting enchanted hammers, stacking administrator heroes, and building labor guild plus the construction site thing means you can get your capital to a 0.0 production time - any building in one turn, including the end game level 5 buildings. Top that off with no cap on the city tile limi

[quote who="Huw the Poo" reply="46" id="2937840"]Quoting AlLanMandragoran, reply 45 I need some help here - Derek? Brad? These errors are killing my motivation to play. I've been diligently reporting them via this thread and my pseudo dx error thread for months and my particular graphics issues seem to be getting worse instead of better. I don't see anyone else bitching about these so I'm alone on an island of ATI Radeon graphics crashes! Help please! &nb

I do Charisma builds. Why? Prestige boost and maximize ZOC's asap via level 3 cities - eliminate monster spawns. When I'm ready for the level 5 cities, stack the charisma heroes together and voila, 20+ prestige boost to targeted city. It's the build I've landed on and enjoy.

This thread is convincing me to buy & try Dominions 3. [e digicons]:D[/e]

[quote who="greggbert" reply="29" id="2937255"]Dude, the random name generator is for the lazy. I always name my cities and heroes with names from whatever book series I happen to be reading. Right now it's all wheel of time, (which, by the way, has an alarmingly low number of memorable male characters). [/quote] Woot!

1.20 DX error. If I get anywhere near the settlement of Filler2 via the cloth map the graphics card becomes extremely unstable. This time it did 2 pseudo dx error recoveries in a row and on the third one it crashed. To avoid these errors every turn the only thing I can do is to vehemently avoid Filler2 via the cloth map. I don't seem to have the issues with the other settlements. <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/120/DXErrors/120_UDFv02_60something_dx

1.20 DX error. Cloth map, again near settlement Filler2, fresh load, haven't even hit end turn yet... uggh. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/120/DXErrors/120_UDFv02_61_dxerror.err http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/120/DXErrors/120_UDFv02_61.EleSav <

1.20, same game. Can't really do any map transitions anywhere near Filler2. Keeps crashing the video card. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/120/DXErrors/120_UDFv02_61_pesudodx.err [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YersIyzsOpc[/video]

1.20 issue, same game, turn 57. Again, zoomed out from Filler 2 and in transition from 3d to cloth, BOOM! Debug - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/120/DXErrors/120_UDFv02_57_pseudodx.err

Same game, fresh load, hit end turn once, centered on Filler2, got 2 psuedo DX errors in a row zooming in and out on cloth map. Zip (last 3 saves, debug, no dump) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/120/DXErrors/120_UDFv02_52_pseudodx.zip Please fix these... so aggravating.

Same game, turn 48. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/120/120_UDFv02_ALTAR_48_PSEUDODX.err

[quote who="Gaeb22" reply="1" id="2936377"]This is one of the sources (/effects of) of memory leaks - I've seen it a lot since launch[/quote] The crazy thing is I've been posting bug reports for months and never got around to noticing it. Right under my nose, haha.

1.20 issue. Note the HUD states the city is Gilden with some crazy name. The city was never Gilden - it was Capitar and I stole it from him early in the game. I renamed it to Capital2 (as you can see from the card).

Same game, 7 turns later on 22. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/120/120_UDFv02_ALTAR_22_PSEUDODX.err

Turn 15, cloth to 3d map transition, crash and recovered. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/120/120UDFv02_ALTAR_15_PSEUDODX.err

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="28" id="2935983"]Because people cannot save, and buy goods from outside the country and go into debt the dollar loses its value and you need more to buy less. Not that hard to understand.[/quote] Inflation is caused by consumers and not by the money masters at the Federal Reserve? Couldn't disagree more. Look up the charts of money supply or total debt over time. The dollar has lost 97% of it's purchasing power the last 100 years. Consumer

Please help the devs by posting your issues. Yes, it would be easier if crash or bug reporting was built into the game. It's not. They can't fix what they don't know about - that includes details such as screenshots, debug files, saves, and dumps. Search on some of my posts or any of the folks who report issues.

Always beware sleight of hand political magic tricks. Propaganda artists love to use 'em.

Oh man those marketing people are ruthless. I bet Brad was ran out of the office.

I'm a bit afraid I'm getting overhyped here, as I still know so very little about the actual game. [/quote] I was really first except I knew Sir_Linque wanted it so I passed. [e digicons];)[/e]

If the Bible had said: "You won't believe this right away, but, one day you will discover that before I tried creating Man, I messed around with giant lizards. You'll find their bones eventually," then I wouldn't have any problem with believing. It's some
