Frogboy would never resort to anything so unamerican. I imagine ".z1a....z1z" or some equally brillant all-american solution will occur to them.

I haven't gotten one of these for quite a while. Just started my 1st game in 1.19n and got this only a few turns in. I had just won my 1st battle (with a group of spiders). http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16706254/debug.err http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16706254/Elemental1_19n-2011-04-21T21-55-52-33.dmp <a href="http://dl.d

I sent this one in several times over the last couple of builds. Happened again yesterday with the newest build. I've sent in game saves, but it doesn't seem to replicate.

Because Frogboy has stated serval times that EWOM and FE will be 2 entirely different games in terms of focus and content. His goal is to make EWOM a v

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="7" id="2912210"]Ooh, SR2020 multi player session, that sounds fun. When I play alone, I always play as Kansas, my homeland... We can participate? Like ask questions? Will Fallen Enchantress have ponies? Will Frogboy ever come visit the child he and I made together?(I stole a baby and stapled a picture of Brad on it).

Loaded up 1.19f last night & this has happened twice in new game. While in battle with turns left on my side I suddenly cannot move or fight. Cursor works (i.e. can highlight enemies or squares), but nothing happens. When I open task manager a box opens that says Dx call error, and I get the screen that says the program has experienced a problem & is shutting down. Video drivers are ATI most current version. My OS is Vista 64bit.

I play strategic/RPG games because I like being drawn into the world they're creating. For me that means epic pacing and huge maps so I can spend weeks immersed in the experience. If I want a 30 minute quickie I'll crank up a FPS.

Congratulations to all 5 finalists. These quests are all excellent. Very hard to choose just one. It would be great if you could use all of them at some point, after all, according to Frogboy's outline, you've got a lot of games to fill.

Here's something to try to make the game a little easier for beginners. Set the World size to large and the pacing to epic. It sounds counter intuitive but it spreads out the other factions and slows done the pace of the game. It will give you some time & space to build up your civilization using the steps already descibed. Also pick a Sov with Warlord (or create a character with that Job), that will give you 2 Sentinels which are very helpful in early game. You pr

I've noticed that when using combat spells the Minimum Intelligence criteria is being ignored. My Sov has Int = 15, but can still use Spell Blast (25) and Arcane Arrow (20). Maybe it's just the posted min's are incorrect and spells are working correctly. They do seem high for low level spells.

I really like what you've done with EWOM so far. Hope this helps. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Been playing 1.1 for a couple of hours with no issues. Crash came at 130 seasons - after hitting end-of turn button. Standard l arge map, custom Sov, custom faction. 5 cities.

[quote quoting="post"]300 turns, no crashes. I'm so happy (the AI is still kinda easy though...) [/quote] Frogboy said 1.1 is in lockdown which means he can't make any changes to the AI until 1.2. Don't worry, the AI will get better.

[quote who="loondenhur" reply="133" id="2844029"]Actually the point is becoming moot, we are now at 1.09v, that only leaves 4 more updates 'till you have to go 1.1. Due to the fact that you will be out of alphabet possibilities. (assuming standard English). So at the present rate of 1 update a day, you will have to go 1.1 on Friday. [/quote] I don't think Beta numbering follows standard English. Think more like Excel. After Z comes AA, AB....AZ, BB>>>ZZZZZ.</

I've played all the beta's & my vote is that it will be a great holiday gift for all the EWOM owners who never touch anything with the word "Beta" in it. Each beta has gotten more enjoyable & more stable for me. That said I didn't get very far (3 cities) in v1.09u[b].118 before it crashed. Here are the debug and zip files: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16706254/debug.err <a href="http://dl.dropbox

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="6" id="2838785"]1.1 beta is closed to whiners, complainers, noobs, weaklings, wussies, lollygaggers, and Lord Xia. all others are welcome. [/quote] Lord Xia just has emotional scars because Frogboy wouldn't publicly ackowledge replaying his saved games to learn what not to have the AI do.

If you can't clear that message then the only thing I can suggest is to uninstall the Beta and reinstall. Don't forget you have to unclick "Show pre-release versions" in Preferences (top left corner button on Impulse "My Games" screen inorder to get back to the non-Beta version. It will let you reinstall the Beta (1.09n[b].108) after that, if you want to.

[quote who="esomonk" reply="37" id="2831436"]I got it to work for me (v1.09n[b]1.08) by simply moving the elemental folder and having impulse detect. The first improvment I noticed is that it stopped crashing. [/quote] If your version number reads "v1.09n[b].108" then you only have the original Beta. I really don't think anyone will be able to download the so called "minor update" (v1.09n[b].109) until one of the Dev's fixes whatever's broken. Probabl
