[quote]You could gain those points by conquering indies/enemy cities.[/quote] true but then you have a city .... founding / concurring makes no difference except with out some assistance.. counting on taking early enemy is a shot in the dark but valid strategy.
[quote]In this YouTube vid he does explain that he is getting revenue "even now" (at 5:58), without having build anything. And by not sacrificing essence in doing so, the result would be making you more powerful. So instead of building, I could make my living from conquering others. Is that not an option?[/quote] that video in part is not valid any more. we no longer use essence to found a city.. we can found the first one for free the rest require a pioneer unless you
all i got to say until we get the official its now available message.. I do not advise hitting update.. it could muck your current version and you be hosed until they are ready.. i.e. if ya play with fire ya might get burned.
[quote]I'm a gay man.[/quote] well I don't really care how happy your are... [e digicons]O:)[/e] OK silliness aside.. this is the best description about why it was unlikely/not allowed in these types of times and explanation of the problems of making it work easily in a game mechanic sense... like I said mods will probably cover this fairly quickly for those who want to go these routes..

you can be female sovereign and marry male hero and have family.. As to the rest no the game does not currently support same gender relationships.. I wager we will see that in a mod fairly soon tho...
[quote who="Exolhar" reply="13" id="2718880"] Quoting gmc2, reply 10if you're using IE8 you can probably expect some errors for some reason. I can update/upload here using ff but not IE8.

[quote who="TatertotEatalot" reply="8" id="2718882"]Plan on reading through Statistical Power Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences, 2nd Edition, by Jacob Cohen. Needless to say, I haven't done power analysis in a while and thought it would be good to get a refresher [/quote] Ok go to the bathroom look in the mirror and slap yourself real hard.. [e digicons]:D[/e] just kidding .. I must admit that does sound like it could easily keep you busy a day or so ..
[quote who="hotmitts" reply="3" id="2718877"]Thanks for the replies! Not as straight forward as I'd hoped then. Playing a game without patches and updates isn't ideal, especially as I'd like to get involved in some modding. Updates are usually crucial to Modders. Ah well...Least I can play offline, that's a rarity nowadays. Mind you, if I go with the physical box and CD option, I could install on a friends computer maybe and save the up-dates
[quote who="MxM111" reply="16" id="2718879"] Quoting Twohawks, reply 14 Quoting fatindian, reply 13So I'm a little confused about this Does the book have some kind of code for exclusive game content? Yes at least the first printing will have a code for a bonus campaign based on the book. So each book will have different code? Including Kindle books?

No, its a book set in the universe of Elemental. A fantasy novel, nothing to do with ingame stuff [/quote] Umm, this in incorrect..

I am with RavenX on this.. In fact if we are lucky over time ... ala mods and updates even more variety of these kinds of neat and unique items/quests can work there way into the game ... I love the idea that there is always a chance for a different way to win/loose heh heh[e digicons]|-)[/e]

I recall a thread discussing the possibility of a moded persistent world.. I do not recall any official statement that it could be done or how.. just speculation as to it might be possible (and I am not sure if this was just us users speculating on it or not)..
here is frogboys pic explaining how .. I am not surprised either in beta who really cared but in the real game adjacent/same stack makes sense.
Hey RavenX my friend does your wife know you want a harem [e digicons]:moon:[/e]
Yes if you get a box and disk you can install and play elemental:war of magic single player off line without ever going on line.. however you will not get any updates or play multi-player (unless down the road custom servers allow for off line line play)..
Need some cheese? what did you expect when you made it sound like it was an evil deed done on purpose..
[quote who="Lord Alderaan" reply="15" id="2718079"]If you saw the 1.0 version number before you pressed update: The game isn't supposed to be out yet. You should have know it might be a mistake and as a result it could go wrong. If you didn't see the version number before you pressed update: It's beta. Things often go wrong in betas. No use complaining. IMHO[/quote] QFT... 1) anyone with beta experience knows some times things happen.. T
