[quote who="Nenjin" reply="6" id="2862017"]It's done so if there's a conflict between old custom stuff and the new build, users don't come back to the forums reporting problems because of outdated content. Because Stardock employees have to investigate those claims, find the problems....and find out it's because someone is using old content. That's time wasted on a legacy problem.[/quote] So archive it. There is no reason to delete it. [quote]Half of game .inits are stor

Ok - I forgot I backed up my custom Elemental stuff on the 29th. Glad I was using good modding practices and making changes in another directory before copying them in to test them. :D I would still suggest warning people before deleting stuff that's not even in the game directory. It's called " My documents" for a reason - they are MINE.

I spent a lot of time on my custom races. To have them arbitrarily deleted with no warning pisses me off to no end. I'd love to know which of the fixes included in this patch necessitated deleting user made content. [e digicons]>:([/e]

This mod is simply incredible! With this, Elementerra, Heavenfall's expanded factions, and my own house-brand factions, I'm having a blast. Thanks much for all the hard work. Looking forward to future versions.

Reply to "party" strategy working well for me. in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I've just been going with one caster/two meat shields (both heroes - no regular units in my parties). Caster gets anything the helps extend vision; everyone gets movement upgrades (when possible) as a priority; meatshields upgrade defense first, then attack. Additional heroes make up a second party with the same configuration. I'll rarely combine into a party of six (2 casters/4 meat) when facing some more difficult enemy, but that's rare. Regular units are only used

[quote who="blueoceans10" reply="6" id="2851439"]First time poster (huh; guess I can use my Impulse account to post here). I think I've found a way to fix this. Was looking at my custom races' .xml data, to see if there was anything different from the coreraceconfig .xml which has all the original races, and I noticed one thing: For the original races, all of them had 'Good' or 'Evil' Alignment tags. For all of my custom factions, they

Reply to Just bought Elemental in War of Magic Elemental Forums

It's actually a very simple game hidden under some confusing and poorly documented mechanics. Produce food and gildars, build huts/houses/villas, and hire every hero you can and build up your defense techs (with an occasional offense thrown in for good measure). Magic/Adventure/Diplomacy you can research when you have nothing better to do in the other tech trees. The opening turns are probably the most difficult and are the only ones the require a modicum of thought/strate

Reply to Possible bug: Has anybody found a tactical map that has no escape route? in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Exit boxes need to be better delineated. Even when present, it seems to be hit or miss many times. The "glowing boxes" are NOT always a reliable exit. I also experienced one map where the exit was offset from the side by one square, but I've never seen one without

[quote who="pad152" reply="46" id="2847991"] Stardock's Beta and QA process is broken, they never gave the final version of 1.1 to the beta testers, the last version before release was 1.09w which was out for testing less than 24 hrs. Instead they made changes to 1.09w and then just released it as 1.1. This is the same thing they did before the games initial release back in August. Beta testers never saw or tested it before release. [/quote] Thank you!! I was starting

I played every beta, watched the game get more and more stable until 1.09v when it never crashed at all. Then they put out 1.1 and it's back to crashing every 30 minutes.

Strike three. Game froze up and had to do a hard reboot. Honestly, v1.09v was WAY more stable than this - never crashed or froze once in hours and hours of play. I'm going to go play Civ 5 now until you guys figure out what's wrong. I can't play more than 30 minutes without crashing or freezing.
