[quote who="Frogboy" reply="50" id="3023539"]In fact, it would be kind of interesting to see a unit pile on all kinds of horrible traits with the more deaths, the more mangled the unit becomes until you would just want to disband him. [/quote] How about an enchantment spell that turns the units loyalty to your opponent. The other sovereign would have to reverse the spell before disbanding.

Well, you could always simply say that the AI pioneers are masters of stealth & are able to move thru the land unseen. Simply teleport them to within a couple of squares of their goal & problem solved. Maybe have a time delay equal to the travel time the unit would have experienced.
Frogboy - How about if we all promise not to make any posts until after the Holiday weekend if you let us have the Beta Wed night? (You'd probably have to block out Lord Xia). Seriously, this game is looking like you guys might make everyone forget the heartache of E:WOM.

I said around Thanksgiving. Not before, my friend. In fact, I'm almost positive it'll be AFTER Thanksgiving since we have a 4 day weekend and no one wants to be managing the beta.[/quote] Yes, I realize it was just wishful thinking on my part. Seeing all these great

Dear Lord Xia - We are happy to inform you that a special new service is being added to GameBreakers Repulsive® in conjunction with the release of Fallen Enchantress. We have contracted with a well known Russian gaming company to supply unique DLC for FE, written to customer specifications, for the unbelievably low price of $9.99. Peggy, from marketing and acquisitions, will be contacting you by email to make arrangements for the "Lor
Well, I for one just want to thank you for all the time you've spent on WoM. I've been playing your version quite a bit and really enjoy what you've added to the game (I also use your artifact mod). I think you've taken it from a C to a solid B. Please take some time off and recharge before the Beta of FE comes out. We need you rested and ready to play Devil's Advocate. [e digicons]}:)[/e]

Legowarrior - If you decide to buy E:WOM, Heavenfall has a MOD that addresses many of the issues the game still has. He is really good and his work can be trusted. https://forums.elementalgame.com/412225
I'm with you Frogboy. I find scripted campaigns in strategy games boring. I tend to just jump into the game and have at it.
I'm for anything that puts the "Magic" back into the forefront. I play the game as a spellcaster, but there only a couple of things you can do & be effective. For example, summoning an Earth Elemental as soon as possible is a must if you're not reseaching weapons & armor. I think you're taking this game right where it needs to go! Is there really a downside to running a modded exe? We'll know pretty quickly if the game isn'
Moving on then. If I upgrade the game to 1.4 will I be able to download & use your latest version?
Heavenfall - I always thought your comments to Frogboy have been given in a very constructive manner. Maybe the volume of changes you suggested made Brad feel that you'd never be satisfied with E:WOM. However, I think you've shown by your work here that you want to have a positive impact on the game.

Hey, no problem. I think this kind of stuff is fun, that's why I like Stardock & this forum. Anyhow, the old proverb worked - When all else fails start over with a clean install! Your files work fine now. I must have messed up switching from 1.0 to 1.1. I'll play your version for awhile & let you know how it goes.
I've restored the original game & it works fine. Next I'm going to redownload your 1.1 version & try it. Hopefully the problem was in not clearing something correctly after downloading 1.0. I'll let you know what happens & zip that folder for you if it doesn't work.
I copied the 2 files you were replacing to a directory outside the game directory & then I extracted your files.
I already had 1.39a installed and had played a couple of games. I'll put the original Stardock files back & remove your files & try again later since Mandragoran couldn't duplicate. Your version sounds really good.

No, it did the same thing. I tried putting the original Stardock files back & the game did exactly what you said your files would do, paused for a couple of minutes & then started.
I'm not doing anything after I click start. After the splash screen comes up, the screen goes blank. Then after about a minute, the stopped working error comes up. I tried letting that sit for 10 minutes, but nothing happened.
Game still crashed. Don't know if it will help, but this is what it said. Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: Elemental.exe Application Version: 1.4.0.0 Application Timestamp: 4e7b5364 Fault Module Name: Elemental.exe
