Well there. I fit in the pattern of most everyone else: I dislike the DRM / online aspects of STEAM, but have been pleasantly surprised by how useful the "never lose my disks" feature is (especially because they have a habit of disappearing when my wife "cleans"...) Brad, your initial post moved me from STEAM is a 3 on a scale to 10 (a foisted, necessary evil sometimes to get a game, but at least the distro works) to about a 6 on a sc

Doh! Quoting this link, https://forums.elementalgame.com/419946 "If you're altering core game files you'll need to add the -localdataonly tag to the exe shortcut target path, otherwise your changes will be overwritten as soon as you start up a new game." Thanks Mqpiffle! EDIT2:

You know what.. this is not working... I had changed the min exp value from 1 to 5, and I still get 1 and 2 for low level battles with a new game. Just for kicks, I changed the max # of items you can wear from 3 to 6, and that is not doing anything either...

Awesome, thanks. I think I will change from 0.05 difficult enemies and massive armies give more experience 2.9 to 0.5 difficult enemies and massive armies give more experience

For me, the stability of the build is its best 'feature"... not a crash yet! Also, I like the various unique weapons I am finding (and I am trying to mod my game to make exp easier, so I can use them sooner). Overall, the details are filling in and this is becoming an addictive game. I can see that I will like this as much as GalCiv2 once it is completed.

Hey guys, this thread not available (modding...) from the regular stardock forum I usually use, only from the forum.elementalgame.... so my question is can I get an explanation of how to decrease the overall difficulty of leveling based on the following items in the ElementalDefs.xml ? 0.05 3 (Obsolete) --> <MaxExpFromC

I personally liked the idea that the sovs were so mighty (hence the original title "Elemental: War of Magic" as opposed to "War that includes some Magic but is mostly unmagical")... Anyway, to my idea in https://forums.elementalgame.com/424106 I also propose a slider for items--do you want epic requirments for high end stuff or not? If you do, slide it to high, if you don't slide it to low requirements, and each of u

This is a great thread! I look forward to what you mod with this... and to if the developers end up incorporating some of this. It adds alot of depth. Edit: the more I think about it, the more I think that the ideal of a mounted lancer--a knight-- is the pinnacle end game warrior in plate armor and with a 1 arm spear and shield, so maybe the last tier weapons should include a 1 handed version of a pike. This would continue the overall

My probleme with things like this leaving the fantasy settings begins when we have the "smart" asian race, the "fast" black race, the "rich white race and whatever other stereotype...THAT is actually racist. No thanks. I much prefer the current way built on the mysterious, draconic lore. I personally think the title of this thread is race-baiting. Either that or it takes basically nothing to "demonstrate" racial bias. Don't you thin

What a useful cotnribution Lord Cobol! Hey, other than the ring for 25 percent, what enhanment did you use... a ring on 2 characters? ... or are you including a +intel bonus equipment as the other. Also, which is a higher bonus--the +5 intel or the 25% Wisdom ring... if you remember?

Humility--that is why I put outposts on all those razed city sites.... lots of outposts bounding my borders, too, to claim the shards. I am fighting for shards. They power the magic to make all see that they must submit to my rule in the ONE True City.... mehehe.

How does that fit in the idea that the very power of the soverigns is their ability to generate mana and to access the power of the shards?

I love to have 1 great city and have the trait where razing an enemy city transfers half the pop to my city and gives +2 per grain. I play as if I am a maniacle Lord Ruler who must have all of humanity in the ONE True City... with outposts getting every shard and goodie I can. It gives a bit of a challenge to keep up with kingdoms who might out reasearch or out produce with multiple cities... until I raze em.

Not to come across as too critical of your creative thinking, but wouldn't most people playing this be doing so to have a fantasy war of magic? I mean the name, the MoM background... all these things make this different than Stronghold or Total War... maybe a mod for your idea would appeal to people, but for the main game, I prefer magic to be magical. Part of the goal is to get them shards so my tactical magic is greater. Speaking of which, it woul

Brad, I have bought most of the games you have made since 2005. Your rep for improving games over time (GC2....) is pretty well established for this paying customer. I get that you guys were smacked around because WOM did not meet hopes/expectations and had too many problems. FE is on the right track to realizing most of what I personally had imagined for WOM. Other than the scale of battles, I can see this turning into pretty much

I was really hoping that this will be addressed quickly https://forums.stardock.com/391330 Unable to play at all so far as it stays hung up at the splash screen, and no alt +tab or anything. I had to power crash 2 times, then gave up. I am confident you will get it done, just hoping for sooner rather than later. Love GalCiv II, by the way. -ENSAIS
