[quote]I've been a long time lurker, but this is my first post in a long time (maybe first ever? don't recall). Without a doubt, Elemental has received more flak than any other game I've ever purchased, and it saddens me to say that much of it is deserved. This has been said before, but we essentially paid for a beta product (hell, I pre-ordered, so I explicitly paid for a beta). What I didn't understand however, is just _why_ there was so much venom in the anti-Elemental posts. I think, now,

Strange, I haven't actually seen all that many monsters in my game. Of course I don't usually build caravans. I also haven't been moving up the Adventureing tech levels that fast, which may help.

[quote quoting="post"]Not the highest priority but it would be nice. Gear in general is pretty bland and having girls in armor that don't look just like the men in armor adds some flavor. [/quote] Looking for chainmail bikinis are we?

At the moment there is only 2 bows, so there is not much you can do. Hopefully, there will be some higher level bows in a patch. I think a couple of mods have some more bows though.

Level 1: Local Tax Office - This collects 1 Gildar per turn from the local neighborhood. This can be built once in each city once you acquire the Civics tech, and will automatically upgrade to the City Tax Office once you acquire the Administration tech and reach city level 2. Level4: Regional Tax Office - This collects 4 Gildar per turn from all the cities and farms in the region in which it's built. This can be built once in each city

Probably a silly question, but I only need to download the latest version of your patch, right? Because you show 6 different versions to download.

[quote who="Novaburst" reply="4" id="2742855"] Quoting Bill Farrar, reply 3 Looks good, but I can't find the units folder. Can you give a full path? Vista/7 C:\Users\UserName\Documents\My Games\Elemental\Units [/quote] Ah, Documents, notv Program Files. Thank you very much.

Those are good. You should put them in the mods section. I can never think of a good backstory.

I just researched one of the Adventure techs to get new quests and it made a giant statue appear next to my capital. It basically looks like I founded the city 50 feet from a 200 foot statue and then didn't notice it for 10 years. Maybe I thought it was a funny looking tree or something. Has anybody else had weird stuff like that happen?

[quote who="Foslex" reply="11" id="2735544"]What's frustrating is that even though the children's ages go up much more quickly than their parents, is that it still takes FOREVER for them to grow up at all. I have played several games for a couple of hours and still not had a baby older than 13 or 14, with Fast pace and getting married on turn 1. [/quote] How did you get married on turn 1? They always tell me I need a better reputation.;

I have a group of 8 or 9 people exploring the wilderness and I was wondering if there was a way to control how they appear on the combat map? I would like to have it so the spellcasters and people with bows appear in the second rank and the meelee types aqre in the front rank. Is there a way to specify this?

Just wondering, how far apart do you guys put your cities? Do you try to overlap your influence or spread them out? Also, how soon do you build new cities? I am abover 200 turns in and am just now building a pioneer.

[quote quoting="post"]Keep getting messages likes "Billybob's daughter has come of age" but my character is still single. I must be missing something...how do I get a spouse? [/quote] It might be worth playing am female ruler because then you get a lot of candidates for marriage. Male characters seem to outnumber female by 10 to 1. You can't up and marry some random peasant woman either, it has to be a named champion.
