Reply to A List of ‘Positives’ in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

One of my favorite parts is the cloth map mode (since I have to play the game in that mode for my computer to run it). I think that needs a lot of love, to be honest. Part of it is that it is hard to tell around mountains and shoreline where the terrain is passable or not. Also it is pretty colorless. One thing I thought would be helpful would be to see a grid of available squares for movement. It is in a lot of strategy games, but something like in

Been playing since Beta 3, still waiting for the game I bought the limited edition for to truly arrive, but I think I've been converted into a Stardock loyalist. Seriously wish more people had the balls to say what you've said here. You ever thought about politics Brad?

Graphical Anomaly - Character Card Background Too Small in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I'm not sure if it is a setting I didn't know I had changed or a glitch, but since beta3 on through to day 0 release I have had the background for character creation not fitting the window it was in. Not just there, but all cards like that had too small backgrounds even in the game. http://screencast.com/t/NzE5OWExO <img src="http://screencast.com/t/NzE5OWExO" alt="char

[Gameplay][suggestion] What happens to cities when their Sovereign falls? They magically disappear. in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Not sure if anyone else has posted a similar suggestion, looked briefly but didn't see anything. As I was playing last night, a nearby sovereign declared war on my kingdom and attacked my (only) city. I decimated his attacking forces but lost my wife and child in the process. So of course I chase him down as he retreats and flay him alive. Something I was not quite expecting (for some reason) was for his massive city just south west of mine to go up in smoke, alon

Reply to Elemental: A busy Wednesday in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

You guys rock, I've really enjoyed watching this game come together over the years. I'm on a tight college budget, but I had to make room for the collectors set when I saw that months ago (hoping that shows up soon...). So far I've really enjoyed the game, finally figured out how to optimize the setting for my computer (reducing the resolution to smallest and playing in window was a huge speed boost). Wish I had more time to play, but homework still takes priority. One

Reply to Elemental: Game Play Example – Part 2 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I too am a bit anxious about the balancing and variety to be had within the game, but I don't see much to worry about based on this. So far Verga hasn't shown up yet, and he has actual soldiers. Plus, Brad is role-playing with his character, choosing perhaps not the best techs or even building efficiently. One thing I hope to see, though, is a good variety of play not just divided by faction specific techs, but by particular AI personalities, if not now, then in fu

[3C][Graphics] Black Map in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Playing cloth map mode, been having trouble with that too actually when changing it from the menu in game, I believe I clicked to build an arcane lab of some sort on my city when most of the map turned black. http://screencast.com/t/NjY2MjA4M http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9296266/debug.err

Reply to Video Preview of Beta 3B in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I just recently pre-ordered EWoM and downloaded Beta 3A, can't quite describe how excited I am for this update! (and even more so, the final release) So glad the resources have been changed. In my few play-throughs that really bothered me. I like to play games aesthetically, not placing my theaters near my slums etc.. But also, with the whole research thing, I found I almost ran out of things to research by turn 200. I guess not all the research trees and s
