Wow... brutal. [e digicons]X|[/e] PC Games in the 4 range - at least it beat out Woody Woodpecker Racing & Battlecruiser 3000 A.D.
As others have said, personal taste. There's no hiding what the issues are, even the CEO admits to it. So it's definitely caveat emptor at this point. With that said, even with it's flaws, some people are having fun with this game. Personally, I have more regret in the $60 that I spent on Starcraft II than what I paid for Elemental. I've had no interest in picking SC2 back up once I completed the campaign. It's nothing against the game, it's well polished
[quote quoting="post"]There’s a reason most games license their engines (Civilization and Fallout 3 use Gambryo for instance, other games use Unreal, and so on). We use our own home grown one “Kumquat” which is proving to have serious teething issues that we are most definitely suffering the consequences for.[/quote] I'm interested in what the advantages / disadvantages were in pursuing the home grown engine vs. licensing something like Gamebryo.

I'm sure your beloveds want more quality time with you, and your view of the game might benefit most from you spending a bit more time not thinking about it before you dig in again.[/quote] ^ This I know you want to get in there and fix things to make it right, but I'm concerned that it's being rushed into. I'm concerned that already a decision has been made about overhauling the magic
[quote who="landisaurus" reply="20" id="2755477"]I would demand, however, that if they make chain-mail bikinis, then we should also be allowed to have chain-male jock straps for the guys with equal bonus.

It's nothing you're doing wrong. [1.05] Create Sovereign: able to buy last Attribute for only 2 points instead of 3 points https://forums.elementalgame.com/392214 awuffleablehedgie pointed out how you can get infinite points. I haven't tried it myself.

A document outlining what all the current xml elements represent and how they're used in the game would be helpful. Surely there must have been some design doc that was shared internally. Would love to get my hands on something like that. An option to override existing values from the core files.

Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of both Warhammer Fantasy & 40K and would enjoy seeing a mod for Elemental. I'm just making sure you're aware of the potential issues. What you can and can't do with Games Workshop's intellectual property http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=&a

[quote who="EvilTwinTepe" reply="4" id="2754752"]I'll give that shot Gravedancer - but I mean this is EVERY turn, and the longer the game goes the longer the pauses.[/quote] Auto save currently saves every turn - so it's deleting a save file, renaming a save file, and then generating a save file. In addition to all the end of turn processing that is taking place. You could try doing a quick save (CTRL + S) to see if you notice a pause in the game while it's performing a

Level 69? Really?
What size map are you playing on? How many AIs do you include? What is the world difficulty set at? Have you changed the difficulty setting for the individual AIs?
