[quote who="nammafia" reply="37" id="2866268"]The post mentions nothing regarding War of Magic development. FE is a new game in Elemental world, developed by a new team. I just want to know if War of Magic is done and abandoned or Frogboy continues to improve War of Magic to what players have suggested since release.[/quote] Maybe you need to read it a bit slower cause it certainly seems that it was addressed in this part of the post.

[quote who="BlackRainZ" reply="30" id="2866247"]because they didn't bother to read and comprehend the journal post.[/quote] Reading comprehension is low due to our industrial model education system. Memorizing what a person reads is put far above comprehending the material. But thats for another topic. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Murteas" reply="28" id="2866241"]Why are people complaining about this? If you bought the game before the new year, you get this expansion for free (even though it is a stand alone expansion). You can then play either game War of Magic or Fallen Enchantress WofM. They are not abandoning W of M, they are just taking it in a new direction.[/quote] I don't see any complaints.. just a few people concerned with 2 main topics. 1. Is this the free expans

[quote]Will FE be free for people who owned EWOM in the free period, even though it will be standalone?[/quote] From the news page on this topic "Elemental: Fallen Enchantress will be released as a stand-alone game but will be free to all players who purchased Elemental: War of Magic in 2010 and will be heavily discounted for anyone who purchases Elemental: War of Magic prior to Fallen Enchantress’s anticipated Summer 2011 release." So yes.. as

[quote who="nammafia" reply="17" id="2866216"]Does this mean War of Magic is done, finished, pushed to the side, placed in dustbin for Stardock? AI development will stop, so we are stuck with a game that is not as good as you can make it.[/quote] I imagine some things will crossover.Any major work that isn't directly effected by new game dynamics will probably be seen in a patch. And other things will be independently worked on.

What always bugs me about stand alone expansions is that it always makes me feel buying the original was a waste of cash. Since the newer standalone pretty much includes all the goodies + new stuff so its like buying the damned game twice. Now since I get both coming expansions for free its rather a moot point in the instance. But in general as a consumer i dislike standalones for the reason mentioned above, a discount to purchase it for an expansion price for those who own the original rathe

[quote who="JoanneMcGirt" reply="3" id="2865852"]I have made sure there is nothing running in the background. This is a new laptop. 2gig processor. I bought the game a couple of weeks ago, from walmart. Brought it home and ran the update prior to using the game the first time. Then updated again when this new update came out.[/quote] The reason i asked for your system specs is.. elemental requires at the very least a dual core. Now... multithreading prior

[quote]And when I manually move a new caravan to its destination, the road frequently does not follow the route I proscribed.[/quote] You can add this to my wishlist. Roads should follow the movement of the first trip the caravan took between 2 towns. Or some other enhancement to the control of building roads..

We need an emoticon for beating a dead horse. Not just for this thread.. but this one makes me want it more than most. Furthermore the horse should have jons face to commemorate his welcome at stardock. [e digicons]O:)[/e] Or at the vary least the code for it should be :shafer:

[quote who="rwemack" reply="17" id="2865405"] Also, Frogboy, if you are still listening, I was curious to know where you prioritized equipping heroes relative to other objectives. Also, I was wondering if it is possible that the Spouse hero was accidently dropped from the AI's list of managed heroes? I was thinking this might be the case since it is a bonus unit that the AI gets for free. Another clue in this direction is that it doesn't seem to do anyt

You know there are tons of pseudo simulator cooking games. But not a single baking simulator or game i can think of. Which is rather surprising when you think about the number of things a person can learn about various chemicals/substances reaction to heat with something like that.

[quote quoting="post"] Hi, im getting absolutely mad over here, trying to install the 1.1 patch. Have a slow internet connection and cannot download the "patch" of 1.9GB for the nth time. Please, is there a manual download of the patch somewhere? Pretty please? Sugarcoating? [/quote] https://forums.elementalgame.com/401836/page/5 This is a current known issue they are in the middle of tracking down

[quote who="somekindazombie" reply="2" id="2864298"]After installing all the latest drivers and getting windows configured and updated, I re-downloaded Impulse and Elemental and the game launched launched like it should! I was overdue for some of this computer maintenance, so its all good. Thanks again for providing a bit of info that eventually led to a proper outcome.[/quote] Glad to hear you resolved the issue. I thought it could be a problem with the windows installati

[quote]Note I am playing on Novice, but still creatures are overpowering me.[/quote] Wait what...lol. Stop rushing adventure tech.. go for civics and warfare etc before you start working on those. Also.. don't send your heros sov etc out all alone.. build some troops to go with them..

[quote quoting="post"] Okay guys what am I doing wrong...I have had nothing but problems since the download of the latest patch. When I click on the end turn button it takes almost 2 min before anything happens, my people dont move very well, etc....it is driving me crazy!!!! Is there a way to go back to the game the way it was? [/quote] whats your system specs of the system your running it on? And which version did you update from?

[quote] Fault Module Name: ntdll.dll[/quote] Cause The causes of ntdll.dll error messages can vary greatly. However, most ntdll.dll errors result from a corrupt or damaged version of the ntdll.dll file itself, corrupt hardware drivers, or issues between Windows and other programs. Faulty Windows Installation In case you receive the ntdll.dll error soon after you have completed Windows installation on y

[quote who="nrich61" reply="7" id="2863451"]the point is, i shouldnt have to in the first place, I'm trying to suggest a way to make it easy for them to collect more data and be more likely to have people submit that data. Hell the last couple beta's i was in did something similar.[/quote] You don't have too.. you can deal with the crashes. Or you can quit being so lazy and post a few crash dumps now and again. I'm steadfastly against any automatic data collection.. and

[quote who="nrich61" reply="5" id="2863447"]when you crash 20+ times a day... it gets tedious. If even a small percentage more of the people that own the game started sending their logs by making it quick and easy, like windows does (that statement is almost oxymoronic), seems to me like that would be to everybodies benefit. [/quote] Like I said.. no need to post every crash.. the first 5 -10 crash dumps after a version update should suffice. As its probably the same

[quote who="nrich61" reply="3" id="2863436"]yes im fully updated thats a viable way of doing it, but if i have to come to the forums to post dump logs, thats to much work IMO, especially under the previously mentioned circumstances.[/quote] Then don't bitch if they never fix your crash issues because they don't have any data to track down the issues your having..

I personally use drop box.. its free and easy. Step 1 download drop box. step 2 install drop box and get a free account. optional step 2.5 Set drop box to not start up with windows step 3. Put anything you wish to share into your drop box public folder step 4 right click on the thing you wish to share in you public folder and click copy public link. step 5 paste it to forums in a topic about your crash issues. repeat steps

[quote who="Diardiamond" reply="2" id="2863308"] but... they prolly should only do the demo in conjunction with the next major update so new players can get the best possible feel for EWoM. Just my 2cents ...[/quote] Agreed. I understand alot of people base game purchases off of demos and its been on the to do list for them for awhile. I imagine it keeps getting bumped down the priority list though. Which since I already own the game.. doesn't bother me in the slight

[quote who="Sirgod" reply="2" id="2863317"]I had just read this interview, and I must say, although I don't own elemental, I will be buying it post haste. For no other reason, then I want to support Brad Wardell. It is not often that you find true character in people these days, so it is refreshing to see some in this kind of business.

[quote who="nrich61" reply="69" id="2863180"]i still crash as much in 1.11 as 1.1 , its hacking me off -.-[/quote] Try posting crash dumps.. it took them a few beta versions and 1.1 before they got around to fixing the majority of issues i had but atleast they got fixed because I swamped them with crash dumps [e digicons]O:)[/e] ON Topic: Its fun.. theres still something lacking though.. i think for me its mainly the way techs and research are handled..
