Reply to Multi-Tile City discussion in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

I don't believe this has been mentioned, but one of the reasons I like the current city building mechanic in fe is that there is no other way to improve tiles. In civ, you had your workers building farms, mines and whatnot, but here there are just special resources and cities. We can't even build roads. Thus, the sprawl of a large city matched the civ type 1 tile city+improvements. Taking away the sprawl without adding anything else in its place will be

[Gameplay] On food, houses and city levels. in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I don't particularly like the slot mechanic in cities as seen in 1z. It drastically limits your options on how you build up, as every city must be specialized due to size constraints rather than economic ones. My proposed alternative: Decouple city level from available slots. Each house directly contributes to new slots, while not requiring any slots by itself. Houses require food instead. City levels are based off how many houses are present, an

[quote who="keithLamothe" reply="1" id="2415511"]From MoM I recall ToHit and ToDefend stats that had very interesting effects, as well as the Resistance stat. Edit: There's also cool things like "First Strike", "Breath Weapon", "Armor Piercing", "Illusion Attack". How do you feel about that sort of thing?[/quote] This.

Feedback after patch in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Some issues i've noticed since the new patch: 1.The icons for kingdom mansions on the map will occasionally dissapear around a city. I haven't been able to find a cause for this. 2.When building kingdom houses, the interface will ocassionally pop out of placemement mode (as if you had cancelled) when you are clicking to place the house. 3.The leader of the research faction decreases his sight radius on every level up by .3. 4.When cli

Reply to [SUGGESTION] Don't let me end my turn without researching something in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I think having that weird 'A' icon in the bottom interface start flashing (and possibly getting bigger/getting a tooltip) would be a good way to remind someone that they aren't researching something without outright stopping the game for them via a message box they have to click through.

What sort of feedback are you looking for? in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Just got done with a game of elemental. No crashes, only real problem is that edgescrolling doesn't work with dual monitors. There isn't much of a game here yet, and what is there is hard to critique (for example, what distinguishes the various housing types? No info at all is provided about them). So - is there basically no feedback to give, apart from bug reports, right now?

Reply to Are all ship hulls created equal? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Take a look at the Drengin's abilities in the Report. Maybe he has a miniaturisation bonus. I cannot built this ship with a minaturization score of 25% (the same as the Drengin

Reply to Are all ship hulls created equal? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'll just add that, like Sinnod I have looked at a ship that i was simply unable to replicate with equivalent or higher tech - in my case it was also a frigate, but with 3 superior deflectors and 9 laser V's. I know of only one building that increases miniaturization, and that's a galactic wonder which hadn't been built at the time. I've never encountered anomalies that give miniaturization bonuses, nor have i seen planets with that sort of bonus. T

What sort of bonuses do anomalies give that can result in this sort of disparity in ship designs? I've had the same thing happen to me and i still don't know what the cause was.

AI Ship Design Cheats in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Playing a game on painful difficulty, i was in a war with the Yor after just recently shifting everything into research, catching up and slightly surpassing them. The war isn't going well, but i'm at least able to fend off their early fighter fleets - then these monstrous frigates appear that have *9*laser V's, 3 superior deflectors and it looks like impulse 3 drives (I had espionage high enough to be able to read off its stats). Remember - i'm actua

Reproducable CTD and savegame in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi, I recently encountered an annoying ctd which i luckily had a savegame for right before the actions that cause it. I'm not exactly well versed in how to report bugs, so if someone could tell me what i should be including and where i should be sending stuff to, i'd appreciate it.

Reply to Any other help you guys can give? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Looking through the debug code, the problem seems to be that my account isn't getting validated correctly. I draw this conclusion because when i checked account info after i had successfully connected to drengin, it shows that it downloads the info fine from the server, but the info is incorrect (no serial number and expiration date set to 1/1/1900). Still seems like a problem at stardocks end. Laz

Problems getting galciv in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hi, I just bought galciv an hour or so ago, and have been trying to download it using the drg client. No success so far, and my experiences are extremely similar to exodus and wyvern in that i can login without serious problems (i type in my info and serial number, register and get the message 'registration complete'), but once i'm connected i can't see anything to download in the games (f1) tab. Yes, the 'show betas' option is on, no i dont have a firewall. I also have the problem wher
