Love the fact that movement range is highlighted in tactical combat, and that tactical spells are all at the front of the book in combat. Not so sure I like that after a unit attacks (in tactical combat) it is planted still and cannot move for the rest of the turn after that. High level Sov unit *should* be able to mow them down like wheat at harvest time (move, kill, move, kill some more) ala Sauron... During Sov creation...most perks cost 10 points, and most weaknesses only give you

[.90][CTD] Crash during unit design in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Crashed during unit design in mid to late game...first time I was designing a unit with 3B (was relying on summoned units). Wonder of wonders I actually got a zip file out of it :P Zip file update: Appears to happen if I select a full suit of armor and then a component piece afterwards (i.e. greaves, shield, armlets)...helmets and weapons are ok, just anything that might conflict with a 'fu

Ok, here is what I found with the favorites thingy, and it was by accident and after much wailing and gnashing of teeth...click ONCE on the star of the spell you want to add, it will highlight for a second and then looks like it deselects, but it does not. Click on another spell and click back on the original one and you will see that it is now the star for the favorites thingy is selected and it is in your favorites. On a side not

Retaliating more than once per turn (or enemy, maybe) should be a buff and/or special ability. A unit surrounded by enemies should not be able to strike back at everyone who swings at it unless they have a high level of skill, magic, or appendages. Edit: Stuff removed for me being unobservant [e digicons]:blush:[/e] Also, units retaliate now I notice, I could have sworn they didn't a few hours ago...

Has Stardock and/or the community figured out a semi-official centralized location for mods and such yet? (similar to the Vault for NWN). Will it be Stardock hosted or a site like I-mod that is stickied over in the mod forum? Just curious...

[quote quoting="post"] Our standing policy continues to be that we won’t sacrifice the single player experience for multiplayer.

Reply to Playing with monsters in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Beautiful. This spurred me to post a spell over in the request thread. Basically you create a rift/portal between two squares you control anywhere on the map, and every turn there is a cumulative chance the rifts spawn a random monster, something sufficiently powerful that you should think twice before keeping it running for an extended period of time. It is here if anyone is interested.

This happened to me too, was using a custom Sovereign (Wraith) with a custom race (Wraith) with Empire ideology...only happened in 1st game, did not happen after. Can post a screenie when I get home from work, but basically all the techs are blank grey, it is very odd. BTW, to take a screenshot hit the 'print screen' button on your keyboard, then go to \my documents\my games\elemental\screenshots folder to get the pic.
