[quote who="Filthgrinder" reply="116" id="2747653"]How can I get my group of units (or just one unit) to move more squares on the map? For some reason my Sovereign can move 4 squares on the map, but once in a group only 2. I have bought boots that give more movement, but I can still only move 2 squares. Seems like it only counts for movement in tactical battle, and not the map...is this true?[/quote] I believe there is a Sovereign trait that allows the units grou

You can always find them in the "Journals" section of the Elemental website. You may need to scroll through the first page and/or click back a page or two to find various patch notes, but they are there. https://www.elementalgame.com/journals --- Just out of curiosity, where are you reading the Elemental forum posts from? The Impulse site or the Elemental site? Not all of the Elemental sub categorie

[quote who="TheBirthdayParty" reply="3" id="2746406"]Is Ogame one of those online games where you have to wait in real time over hours/days for things to build/troops to move/etc.?[/quote] Yes. Builds can end up taking days of time. Movements and attacks can depend on fleet composition, techs, and how far away they are. Was a fun game but when I started planning attacks, factoring in drive times, checking on my stuff every 30 minutes, taking "catnaps" and setting

[quote who="AndonSage" reply="116" id="2747616"]I only play Dom 3 as single player, and it's a lot of fun for me It has the best AI I've ever seen in a single-player strategy game (and I've played many, including 90% of the games listed in this thread). Unless you are some kind of strategy savant, you'll get your butt kicked by the AI for quite a while At some point, you'll be better than the AI, but you'll have gotten your money's worth by then. And then you can try multi-player if you wa

[quote who="silverpaladin" reply="93" id="2746001"] King's Bounty & Armored Princess expansion- This is basically HoMM with a focus on Hero development and no castle management. It's a little easier than HoMM because you don't have to worry about that stupid scout hero that's flagging all of your mines behind your lines and it's a little more pure tactics rather than grand strategy. It has a much stronger focus on story (and it's actually pretty good), but overall it's a

I love the progress on this FAQ. I was just skimming through it and learned a couple things I wasn't aware of. Something I wanted to add in regards to the question "Why is it sometimes I cannot talk to other champions to hire them?". It may be obvious to some, but you need to have your Sovereign as your currently selected unit. If you had clicked on something else and try to click on the champion the talk option won't be available. If you click on the Sovereign

Hey, even for people who purchased the game and decided to stick with it, at some point real life (and/or other games) are going to get in the way. Wouldn't be a bad thing to get an email when a major milestone has been reached. If they really want to show commitment to the long term support of the game, one thing that could be done is add another mailing list option specifically for Elemental. Send out monthly (?) updates for the next few months summarizing the progress of

I played HOMM V again for a few hours this past weekend. It's enjoyable, I don't really have any complaints about it, but it just leaves me wanting to play something much larger or more epic. I have both of the King's Bounty, Legend and AP, but haven't put much time into them. Dominions 3 still has my curiosity. One possible negative for me is that I prefer SP so I've been slightly concerned where I've been reading about people saying MP is where the game is really f

[quote who="JokerZ2k4" reply="111" id="2747421"] They have a new one now, if you check their website. Save $6 on the purchase of Dominions 3. I'd say someone from their website must be reading this one![/quote] Hmm... I don't know... how about $10 off? [e digicons]:P[/e]

[quote who="solidsmooky" reply="100" id="2746441"]Dang you know your game is bad when your customers are asking for alternatives less than a week after its release. lol[/quote] Maybe it was a conspiracy to release Elemental in it's current state to increase sales of all the other games listed in this thread. I'm sure there must have been somewhat of an increase in sales for these other games in the past few weeks. Shrapnel games had a promotion on their website for Domin

Make him unable to marry. Just say he took a vow of abstinence that prevents him from marrying. Or just blame it on a horrible jousting accident as to why he's unable to sire children.

I had downloaded the 1.06 patch (after reading the patch notes), ran into the issue of not being able to move units and followed the work around to get it to work. The next day I applied the hotfix not thinking that between the 1.06 patch and the hotfix that they were going to make save games unplayable. I didn't think to read the hotfix notes cause I figured it was simply implementing the work around for people, not making it impossible to play a saved game. To find out tha

A few people have mentioned Dominions 3 the past couple of weeks. At first I didn't know what it was but curiosity got the best of me. I've found myself checking it a few times. From some of the reviews it sounds decent. I'm wondering for those of you who have played it, how much fun is it? Do you find yourself going back to it or have you lost interest in it? I have the demo d/l and getting ready to install it but I'd appreciate hearing opinions

What about Dominion 3?

[quote who="Satrhan" reply="110" id="2736431"]I imagined little woodland outposts, charming rural villages, busytowns and beautiful cities, all with populations you had to keep happy. I expected to be dealing with scheming nobles, mad wizards and invading hordes, and dealing with them through force, diplomacy or magic. I thought of great armies clashing total war style, with dragons soaring overhead, heroes leading the charge and sovereigns casting epic spells from across the f

[quote who="Tridus" reply="109" id="2736409"] Public opinion polls in Canada tend to use 2000ish people, and that's to cover a population of 30 million. If you look at the number of regular posters on the Elemental forums (even from just this week and not the much quieter beta period), this is a HUGE sample in comparison. A lot of people we don't hear from have taken this poll.[/quote] Agreed. I think the %s we're seeing now won't change much. The numbers

What if the AI had the resources to support all of it's units and lost a city? I don't think it makes you disband units if you don't have enough money, does it? What if you were just breaking even, built a new unit that now puts you in a deficit? Maybe the AI just kept building and building until the last finished unit put it in a deficit and then it was just cumulative since that point? Although seeing that the wages are at 346 and the income is small, they ar

[quote who="tamides" reply="55" id="2736310"]Any chance you guys could limit the amounts of rings, amulets and sutch you can wear, its not a important thing in single player i know, but im weak .. heh[/quote] I don't understand why everyone wants to limit the amount of jewelry one can wear. I present Exhibit A in my argument for no limits.

Good effort. The blue is a tad harsh on the eyes though. Keep in mind that this appears on different sites w/ different backgrounds. So while the blue looks okay on the white background when you're looking at the darker background on the elemental website the contrast makes it a bit harsh on the eyes. I think you'd be better of just making the question the default color and bold it, maybe a larger font if you can get it to work. Impulse website: <a hr
