Knowing the talents of the various factions could be very nice and would give motivation for trying them.

Is it me or the empire doesn't have technologies for research treaties, economic treaties and arranged marriages? I may understand why they haven't the 2 first since it may be alien concepts for them. But I don't see why they can't make arranged marriages.

[quote]Instead, we need to reward players more for building up fewer, bigger cities.[/quote] I am not sure if you will have the expected result when you need to snake your city to get those nice ressources.

[quote] perhaps it is actually Dragonal PRETENDING to be Frogboy...[/quote] Well, if I remember correctly the background of Galactic Civilization, Draginol was known as the Dark Mithrilar. He has created the Dread Lords and was buried inside Altaria, where its presence has spawned the apparition of an human like specie near the dragon like Drath.

I was playing with some empire faction (Ythril and magmar). Thoses factions have some weapons at the start of the game: bow with 6 ATK for 800GP or demon sword with 8 ATK for 800 GP. They were nice in the previous betas. But they aren't worth the price in beta 3 since empire can have shortbow with 10 ATK and 45 GP. The battle hammer cost something like 180 GP for 18 ATK. I have seen Janusk with 14 ATK and the capitar sovereign with an ATK of 45 !!!! With such values, the

This is really a bad spot to found a city, but the AI have done it: Giving the current rules for building improvements, the AI can't build any improvement in its city

[quote]the point is game still miss a important feature: a malus to build more cities[/quote] Have you see how cost increase each time you want to found a new city?

How many essence had you when leading this army?

here is the interview http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Games/Interviews/elemental/2.html as was referring too. And especially [quote] Time flows strangely in the world of Elemental . Those first 18 years “fly by” for the children of sovereigns (takes about 100 turns for a child to grow up). But after that, they age very very slowly.[/quote]

It was spotted at numerous times and even Brad talks about that in an interview. It seems that in the world of Elemental, years don't mean the same thing for chidrens and for adults.

In the current build, you can offre to trade tech between empire and kingdom. You can even manage to make a deal. But when you accept it, nothing happens and you keep your tech.

You should take the Ythril faction and found your empire: for 800 GP you have an +6 bow. That should increase your build ;)

You have a faction with the industrious trait. It may work as planned

It would be nice if when you move your mouse over such locations, it displays you the associated level.

[quote]8 Races small map, jeez you couldn't ask for a better location [/quote] I am supposed to play on a single continent map, not on islands. [quote]looks like your LOS is a little buggy though[/quote] Since I am playing with a directX 9.0b card (5 1/2 year old) with lots of graphic options disabled, I am not worried about that ;)

[quote]Nop, you cannot build gardens in the latest build.[/quote] For which city level? I am playing with empire and the equivalent of garden is available for level 2 city.

BTW, raise land and lower land spells require controlling and earth shard in beta 3A

[quote]even though there is a patch of fertile ground right next door. [/quote] Is this patch adjacent by a side to you city?

It is faster to get a transport than a lower land spell working on moutain ...

At turn 46 I am able to put an harbor in the build queue. I needed to snake my way to the beach. aNd on turn 64 a ship was built.

I am pretty that a screenshot or a savegame of the problem could help the developpers

Have you the debug.err file? I am sure that there are some world information in it that may be useful for the devs.

I have started a new beta 3A game, with 8 players on a small continent. Here is my starting position and in cloth map Here is my debug.err http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5057853/beta3A_bad_start/deb

[quote]Is there a reason why you guys are releasing an expansion pack so early? [/quote] I am wondering if the expansion pack is free or not.

[quote] If they released the full source code of their older games as well.[/quote] I am pretty sure that Stardock uses their windows customizing apps for defining their screens ...
