If you have your harbor built, then you can build a Transport like any other unit. Once it's built, click in the water to launch it.

[quote who="Droghar" reply="6" id="2771137"]Have I missed where the Fallen get a +7 prestige building like the Palace somewhere? I've never gotten to high level cities with them (note I never play to the end, once the game is obviously very won I stop) [/quote] No, the Empires get a +50% Prestige building. But the point is that Empire civs don't require high level cities like the Kingdom does.

I don't think you are looking at the balancing between Empire and Kingdom. Some examples: Empire civs don't need high level cities, because almost everything they can build only requires a level 3 city. While an Empire civ requires 500 pop for a level 4 city, and a Kingdom civ only requires 400 pop, the Empire civs get level 5 cities at 1000 pop vs. Kingdom civs at 1250 pop. IIRC, Sions only require gold, not resources, to build, and Empire civs get mul

Yes, it is true. From the Drama Cleansing Thread: https://forums.elementalgame.com/395485 That first expansion pack will be free to everyone who owns the game at the point of v1.3.

I am also getting Out of Memory errors, and instead of creating a new thread, figured I could use one already available.

Brad has already said that the option for fast movement (in the Options) should also apply to the tactical battles, so I'm sure that will be in soon.

I just want to add a couple things to what Stax77 said: 1. Be sure to use Caravans... a lot :) They can provide huge bonuses to your food production. 2. Huts (which is your starting "population building") are used to allow more people to live in the city, so the city grows. As you research the appropriate Technology, Huts will be upgraded so that each population building allows more people to live in them, allowing your cities to grow even larger. 3. It's not

Even when I'm making more than 100 gildar per turn from cities, I still get most of my money from gold monsters. When I run out of monsters, I research another Adventure (Kingdom) or Domination (Empire) tech to spawn more ;)

More information... the food bonus % provided by caravans is based on the distance between the two cities... the farther away the cities are, the higher the food bonus %. The food bonus % has no effect on cities that don't produce any food, so unless you just need a road between two cities, you should always send your caravans to cities that produce food. The cities that produce food should send their caravans to cities that do not. Also, caravans will connect with the first city they

[quote quoting="post"]By end-game most of my cities (~12 at endgame) were level 3 with my capital ~4.5 and very little food (~2-6) left over. I liked having to make the tough decision to raze a city for the overall good of the empire.[/quote] Start using Caravans. Send them to your cities that are producing food. The farther away they come from, the higher the bonus.

Actually, they can also be on tiles next to each other, to trade.

[quote who="Storm" reply="241" id="2760292"]The idea that shards simply add to a Global Mana pool though, sounds to me like taking the easy way out. Now we'll just grab any ole shard to increase mana. Doesn't matter if it's fire, earth, wind. etc A shard simply adds +x mana to my pool. [/quote] Actually, shards currently add to your mana pool (aka Essence). Each shard you build a shrine on gives you +10% to your Essence. So nothing different here.

Here's the list: Kingdom first reveal: gold mine second reveal: orchard, apiary Empire first reveal: gold mine second reveal: gold mine Hope that helps.

Much easier than using the Actions tab. Just hit 'T' when you have the champion selected.

[quote who="syneris" reply="14" id="2757676"]Lack of a population boosting building in Empire does cripple it quite a bit. [/quote] I don't think it does, because the city level requirements for Empire buildings are lower than the Kingdom requirements. Except for special buildings from the Conquest tree, and the diplomat building, all Empire buildings can be built with a level 3 city. The special buildings require city level 4. Nothing requires city level 5.

The main thing I'm worried about is dumbing down the magic system. I'd rather see a more complex system, if anything. Another thing I wanted to bring up is people talking about the magic system being "weak." I think that has to do with most people using tactical battles, and the fact that shards currently aren't working correctly for spells in them. If the shard issue was fixed, and the damage calculation was changed so it wasn't 0-x, then magic wouldn't be weak. For example, assume a
