Bug 1.0 Quest Reward from Quests generated from Quest Map item not received in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Hi all. I created a custom hero with the Quest Map feature, and as the number of quests in the area around my city decreased, started to make use of the feature. Although not a bug, I was disappointed that all three times I used a purchased Quest Map, the flavor text and format of the quest was the same--Wildings had attacked an inn, and it was up to me to save those carried off by taking on the Wildings. Anyway, each time I defeated the W

Reply to Thank you Stardock for all your hard work in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Agreed. Elemental is not perfect, but I have reasonable expectations that Stardock will improve the game. Perhaps Brad should have released the game in February instead of August, but I recall that, for, example, Civ IV out of the gate was a complete and utter mess.

I've downloaded the game just before work...but have not (yet) have had a chance to play. Are there apparent issues, bugs and concerns? Sure. However, I have confidence in Stardock working through these. Yes. They stand by their products. They improve their products. And any software not made for an closed system (

Reply to Help creating archers in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Tridus" reply="4" id="2723154"] Quoting nOObonian, reply 1After saving the game and trying a few combinations out, I figured it out. You need to get to weapons, Archery, and Armor. (The Armor was my problem). BUT how do you make a group of archers, say 6 or so? I think the research for that is called "squads" or something like that. It's in the Warfare line. When you go to train units, you can pick how many you want in the group once you have the tech unlocke

Reply to Are Maps Randomly Generated? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

One of the things that eventually had me dislike Disciples was the same thing, Fading_Suns. The maps were puzzles more than they were places to explore and conquer. You had to follow the map in a certain way, or else your chances of success were minimal at best. It felt artificial.

[quote who="OsirisDawn" reply="410" id="2718256"]I already made that suggestion, but they choose to ignore and keep ranting. Makes me wonder if it is really such a huge issue with them.[/quote] I think it comes down to, having read this insanely long thread too much, is the idea that some people want to be able to spawn a sheaf of copies of Elemental on their LAN and have everyone play in MP, using the one activated copy. </

Reply to Trust in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I trust Stardock with my hard-won gaming dollars (GalCiv, Sins) and have not been disappointed. And as pointed upstream, Stardock goes the extra mile (hell, extra parsec) to make the games a good experience. And they love turn based (or slow RTS) games that have a strong SP focus and replayability. How can you say no to THAT?

Reply to Elemental: No Copy Protection, Activation, LAN and more in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I live with my friends (long story, not germane to discussion). We own three copies of Civilization IV, one for each PC, and often play against each other on the LAN. If we want to do the same for Elemental, we should do the same. I have a pre-order, so we will have at least one copy in house--mine. In order for me to get them to play against me, I just need to convince them to get copies of their own, probably via let

Reply to AI: You can’t see it in a screenshot. But it matters in Elemental Dev Journals Stardock Forums

Not everyone can, or will, or has the opportunity to play multiplayer. What if I am on my laptop in the north woods of Minnesota with not much signal? It is there and then, in situations where connecting to the Internet is either not practical, not possible, or not desired, that a strong AI shines. I appreciate the efforts put into AI, therefore...

Reply to Cant Win this game it seems in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Their ascension clock is only going to count down if they have at least one ascension crystal with a starbase on it. Otherwise, the countdown does not progress. So there has to be one that you've missed. Find that starbase(s) and destroy them. It's been done to ME by the AI, when an ascension victory was put on hold because my last ascension SB was destroyed.

Reply to TA v2.0 bug(s) in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Playing as the Iconians on a large map. Some of the starbases, both mine and other races, have become "invisible". I first realized this when I sent a constructor to what looked like an unoccupied resource, only to be unable to build anything. Clicking on the resource revealed that a starbase was already in place. Later in the same game, after destroying a Korath starbase, and constructing one of my own on the resource, my own starbase was "

[quote]Besides which, Stardock is only now wrapping up the 2.0 update for GalCiv2. Give them a break, man! There's no way they'd go straight to work on GC3 already. Indeed, Brad himself has said on numerous occasions that the next GalCiv game is at least three years away -- probably later. [/quote] Exactly. Diversity is a good thing and makes for happy programmers and computer game company owners. Brad has been thinking about this fantasy game for a long time.

A few suggestions in TPM Suggestions PolMach Forums

Bearing in mind that TPM is meant to be a small game, and I don't and wouldn't want it to lose that "small game" feel: Suggestion #1 As a big fan of Gal Civ II: What about "Mega events" in TPM 2012? Turn on or off as the player prefers, but having an event or two shake up the political landscape and voters reactions would make candidates have to deal or downplay their stands on an issue which usually doesn't get much play (the quirkier ones at the bottom).
