Champions are there to be upgraded over time, getting better and better, soldiers are bought to die as cannon fodder. To get champions have to be a long term investment. End of discussion..... ;)

I don't agree with you on the champions. They should be weak in the start, and not a non brain good investment. It's your jobb to make something good out of them, and making sure they are leveling up. It's so easy to win early battles already, so I don't see the prob. With some research investment you can also recruit better champions over time.

Ditto! :)
I recommend Elemental to all lovers of strategy and RPG. The gameplay is fun, you have alot of freedom and choice, and it has a great feel to it. And the best thing is it will grow better and better. I love it already, and haven't been so glad for a new game since Civ3 and Civ4. This is history in the making of good 4x turnbased gaming. I agree there is some balancing needed, especielly I find it annoying that it is to easy to found new cities, and they are spammed out covering to muc
I guess it is your reputation, not skill level. The same used when finding a bride that thinks you're good enough for her? Anyways, think it's increased by solving quests, and perhaps winning battles helps as well. Not quite sure.
Hehe, that was very easy to read.... lol.
European time? It's 21:36 in Norway now, soon bedtime.... ;)
It will be released next week. Use the time to practise for the mp games. :)
Many good points here. Hope the 0-day patch deals with such things as building costs, settling city costs and growth rate. The game is too easy right now, and the city spam ruins the fine atmosphere you have in the early game. That said, what a great game this is going to be. The core of the game is fantastic, we just need a few tweaks.
I'd love to have pirates (and sea monsters) in the game. Perhaps in the next expansion...... :D
[quote who="db0" reply="12" id="2726983"]Ok, I'm confused now. Why do you think you need resources to expand? I keep expanding everywhere, whether there are resources there or not. It allows me to build more workshops, merchants and the like, which are simply free resources, and eventually my cities grow and I can use them to train soldiers. [/quote] Something must be done with city spam. It's the best strategy, and the most boring strategy.... that doesent combine
[quote who="Droog" reply="10" id="2726559"]Thx for the replys guys. I do think that settlements should cost as they did in the beta. Its just more fun that way, and i hate the idea of pumping out pioneers to massproduce cities. [/quote] I agree indeed. I love this game, but the city spamming I can't stand. Cities all over the place is not fun. It gives to much micromanagement, and it ruins the atmosphere of the map, a fantasygame needs alot of wilderness
I think they are good for bringing atmosphere to the game.
Nice videos. Thanx for the watch!
Oh my God, 100% now, Extracting... See you guys. :D
[quote who="calmon" reply="111" id="2647986"]Update at 50% [/quote] 71 % here! ;) This is so exciting! :D
Have you new guys chosen: "Show pre-release versions" and "Check for updates"?
Heh, not lying. 20% downloaded now. Oh happy days!
It can be downloaded now. I'm on 7 %.
I'm downloading now!!!!!! :D
This is a game I will be playing for many years. At least until an Elemental 2 arrives. So, make it perfect please..... ;) The only games I play now are good old quality games like Heroes 3 and 4, Civilization 4, Galactic Civilizations 2, Hearts of Iron 2 and Europa Universalis 3. No other games made up to this date interests me for more then for a few game sessions. Elemental will be in the immortal catagory, I'm sure of that.
Hmmm, I don't like the watchtower as first build to be a nobrainer. Now with just one turn to complete it is. People will always choose to build it first. One more thing. If you plan the huts to take larger population and being cheaper, you should really consider an upgrade cost for them later on. I want to be forced to prioritize, don't like these automatical upgrades.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="83" id="2578788"] Civilization 5 is the Civ 4 team including Sid and Soren. No it's not. Soren is at EA now. I think Civ V will be awesome though. But I'm not worried about Elemental's success. [/quote] It would be cool to see you and Stardock making a Civilization-like game after Elemental, Frog. Or perhaps you modding Elemental to a Civilization game when you take yo
