I've been playing the new version for a few hours and I have 6 cities. One city - the Capital has 300 population and -35 citizens, another city has 57 population, -20 citizens and all the other cities has 0 population and some negative number of citizens. I can build stuff in any of the cities. I am confused. What is negative citizenry? What is going on??? In general I like the direction for magic but it is still unbalanced. The population-citi

I played MoM constantly in the mid 90s. The AI was simplistic of course but I usually played on it on the impossible settings and I viewed the game as me versus a completely different kind of opponent not a erstatz human. (I found the AI wouldn't use the super spells except on Impossible.) The AI was more like Plants vs Zombies than GalCiv II. With strong opponents, I needed to get a fairly good numbers of cities up and running before I could start

I signed up for the beta and was quite disappointed but patient through most of the various stages as I regularly CTD after a few dozen turns at best. Many other testers seemed to have a similar experience. At about beta 4 the game was more stable (but still had the dx error and occasional lock-ups) but there seemed very little to do except fight and walk over other sovereigns. I would have thought that this would be where the interesting testing began but I has very su

Actually I suspect my video card might be having problems. I've since had several graphic crashes when I'm not running Elemental. For what's it worth: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6650375/debug.err

Arrgh - I loaded the latest update and now Elemental freezes immediately after starting a new game. The graphics go bad, the mouse and keyboard are frozen and I am forced to unplug my machine to reboot. As I killed my computer I don't have a dump file. I've run regular diagnostics and nothing turns up and everything else seems to run fine. Here's my dxdiag: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6650375/DxDia

My display drivers are up-to-date. ("Update your drivers" is the last gasp of the desperate support person.) My computer is equipped with middle-of-the-road, fairly vanilla, garden-variety hardware and software; not particularly high-end but definitely not obsolete or under-powered. (see the dxdiag). If others with similar set-ups have crashes I think that there is some more essential issues. I have no problems with a wide assortment of other games and pr

Following the suggestion of John Hughes I did a full uninstall and re-install. (Though I didn't mess with my registry.) I still get crashes. I even tried reloading the save game above and it crashed after a few more turns. Obviously from all the other crash reports, Elemental is still missing a certain robustness and stability. I'm hoping that this is resolved shortly as I'm really looking forward to this game.

I can't get very far and always crash on clicking next turn when my sovereign is near the trolls to the south. I finally got dropbox. Here are the files and a save game before the crash. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6650375/debug.err http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6650375/DxDiag.txt <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6650375/Elemental0_302-2010-05-02T20-40-4

Once again I get the crash to desktop in the middle of a game and right after hitting the turn button. A troll is again near my sov.

I have had numerous crashes to desktop usually 10 to 50 turns into the game. Possibly I have a character next to a troll. debug

.295 Hangs up when loading a save game - It appears to be loading and the bar moves very slowly across the screen for about 10 minutes and then it just stops.

[.25][crash] I also crashed at "welcome brave adventurers" screen several times. While trying to start Elemental with IE open to this form I get a blinking black screen with a "failed to initialize display" message. All previous Elemental updates worked ok.

My sovereign disappears when in hamlets/villages, etc. He sporadically may reappear when clicking around but it is not obviously predictable how to do that. Clicking on the icon does work either.
