Very much appreciate this informative update. I'm VERY eager to try to beta. I can't remember if I was in beta 1 or the next one though. I do remember posting lots of posts of errors and links to saved games and pictures and such to whatever sharing website we were using at the time(name escapes me). How do we go about finding out if we get the beta the 19th or 26th? :)

[quote who="Anguille" reply="39" id="3030002"] Quoting TheBirthdayParty, reply 38I ended up trying Armada 2526. Waste of money. Was bored very quickly. Much too simple. with or without Supernova? [/quote] Without, but I do not see how the game could be improved unless it was drastically changed.

Thought I posted which I finally decided on. Guess not. Anyway, I tried Armada 2526 and found it incredibly dull. I played for about 30 minutes and have no desire to play again. Wasted money. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]

For those of you who have played Skyrim and Morrowind(Elder Scrolls series), could you compare them? I tried morrowind and found it very very dull. The fighting mechanic was awful. The story was boring. The graphics were quite subpar. I did not care what was going on in the game at all. I'm curious, is skyrim similar to morrowind, just better graphics? What are the differences?

I'm thinking of buying one of two 4X space games and wanted people's opinions thoughts on them. Do me the favor and tell me your experience with these games? Much appreciated.

[quote who="joasoze" reply="2" id="3016482"]www.warbarons.com based on the old warlords games. Played in webbrowser with no plugin.I love it myself [/quote] Thanks, but not really interested in games that have turns per day limit. Is the one on one solo vs AI?

Master of Monsters was a lot of fun for me for its time, but I tried playing again about a year ago(the second one) and its just too clunky for me now. And I've played through a lot of Battle of Wesnoth. SO, does anyone have any recommendations for something similar, but recent for the PC?

This is sounding better and better. I was vastly disappointed with E:WoM even up to the most recent update/patch. However this is looking like something I would recommend highly to my friends. I'll try the beta and then the final product first of course, but its very promising. Only thing I currently can think of to suggest is to change the name, its kind of blah. But I guess its too late to change it. :)

[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="3" id="2975826"] Quoting TheBirthdayParty, reply 2Quoting Nakisisa, reply 1In 1.3 the minimum size of units you can train has been increased to 4. This is not supposed to effect pioneers but sometimes it will try to build them as size 4. Nakisisa Really? That kind of screws building troops early to defend against wandering monsters leaving your first city to be conquered very quickly. : / Y

Just got version 1.3 Started a new game and researched 'equipment'. Created a unit with cloth head, chest, and leg gear and a pointy stick. For some reason the mats and gold required to build the unit is not translating correctly into the training unit tab in the city UI. It seems to think i'm trying to train a group whereas I am only training a single person. Saved game: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8971392/new%20game.EleSav Picture illustrating the discrepancy:<

[quote who="Tridus" reply="1" id="2975261"]Release date: There isn't one. That you bought WoM: It's in their records. If you've got it in Impulse, they know you bought it.[/quote] That's why I said approximate release date, not specific one. And are you a staff member? I mean you know this for sure and all that?

What's the closest approximation for the release date for fallen enchantress? And how will stardock know I bought the previous version? The emails I was sent from my digital copy are long gone and I never recieved the hard copy I requested in the mail. I do still have access to the game via the stardock console utility thingy.

There's something very uncanny about E:WoM. When I play, after about 20 minutes(Unless its at the most 3-4 hours after i've woken up for the day) E:WoM makes me REALLY drowsy. I'm not saying the game is boring, just something? in the artwork or mechanics... my eyes can't stay open. No other game has ever done this. Anyone else have this kind of experience?

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="1" id="2939972"]It can take up to about 5 minutes (or maybe longer) to check the files. When updating, it compares the files in the Elemental directory to the files in the patch. This is why it takes so long, it is not just a simple patch. You need to wait a bit. If that doesn't work, contact "[email protected]". Best regards, Steven.[/quote] That was it, thanks. :)

So I started EWoM and was informed there was an update. So I clicked update. Sadly, star dock has been sitting there for a few minutes saying "preparing download" without any progress occurring(I have a cable connection). I tried exiting stardock, loading EWoM and clicked update. Stardock asked if I want to continue with a previous download(the update). I said yes, and I waited with no progress. Help?
