You only need a working PC to play the game. No disc in the tray, no SecuRom, no internet connection, etc... This is Stardock's policy. In fact, Stardock had even got thanks from a soldier stationed in Iraq (he sent an American flag) because he could play GalCiv 2 over there with no trouble. If you don't have internet, then buying this game through Impulse, or getting updates might prove difficult. I'm not sure about the details cause I have a good internet connection at home so I nev

I'm not going to join twitter just so I could win a signed box. *Shiny* [e digicons]:drool:[/e] *Coughs* I'm that easy to bribe.
I have no idea why my last post turned out like that. I can't seem to edit it in a manner to fix it.
Some comments from me. ---- [quote]Allowing constructors to build more than one module..its a drag building lots of constructors to beef up critical starbases.[/quote] That would be useful, but what would happen to the excess (extra constructor modules not needed)? [quote]I would like to see a new option in the Upgrade dialog that would let us Upgrade All Ships of This Type In This Fleet Only.[/quote] T
From what I understand is, most heroes in Elemental are wandering around indepently. They don't work for any soveriegn. You can try to recruit heroes. Once they work for you, you can control them like you would with any other unit. Same with dragons. This might change later depending on player feed back.
I suggest you change the title of this post. Its misleading (differs from the topic), it has the same title another post made a few hours ago, and both are posted by you. This one: [link="https://forums.elementalgame.com/375367"]https://forums.elementalgame.com/375367[/link] For this post, I suggest a title of "Majesty inspiration for Elemental".
I didn't care much for the MMO component. I purchased a copy because it had a single player option, and I figured that when I have the cravings for a "Sim City" like game, I'll start it up. That hasn't happened yet so my copy remains unplayed.
@ NelsMonsterX, reply #7 [quote]p.s. I DL'd Diplomacy Friday night and was able to play it. Is that still a beta version or were we all treated to an early release? (It's awesome BTW) [/quote] It seems to be an early release. See link. [link="http://frogboy.impulsedriven.net/article/375110"]http://frogboy.impulsedriven.net/article/375110[/link]
Have you been able to install and play other games? Do you even know where to look? If not, try looking for a tab called "My Games" (look near the top of the window). Open it (click it). You should have a list of games that you can install (assuming you have them). From there, right click a title and select install. If that doesn't work, then send an e-mail to stardock support and they'll get back to you in a few days time. [link="mailto:[email protected]"]support@s
*Sigh* Stardock's Janitor/Beekeeper is at it again. Someone tell him to stop acting like he's the CEO. /joke
[quote]er.......whats a solid state drive?[/quote] [link]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive[/link] Basically its a label for a device that has no moving parts. The current generation has more in common with a piece of RAM, than the more common variety of hard drives (which uses spinning magnetic disks). They are supposed to work better, and they do cost more.
I haven't played GalCiv 2 for a while (other games like Sins or Elemental Beta have kept me busy). That said, I do remember that starbases were a pain for me to defend. I'll list a few suggestions to solve this problem below. If you could get 1 of them to work, I would be quite happy. ---- 1. Fortify Command: Starbase defenses suck. They take too many constructors to build up, and when maxed out, they can't compete with a maxed out ship (Huge hull with Doom Rays for instance). T
[quote]Do we even wanna know?[/quote] If someone has to ask that question, I need to know. What are these terms that you guys are talking about?
Are any of these spells going to cost mana for these early tests? I mean, if they don't, we'll probally go hog wild or something. What about essence costs? I ask because I want to terrorize a world, you know, like right now. *prepares a spell of "delusions of grandeur" and readies to cast it on himself*
Let me offer you some ideas for alternative means for mana generation: 1. The soveriegn can generate all mana types. The crystals only help to give the soveriegn a percent increase (or whole number increases) to their base rate. Having a lot of fire shards would allow a soveriegn to be a great fire mage, where as other soveriegns are pitiful fire mages in comparison... until they decide to show you what they've been saving up for. 2. Shards are the best sources of elemen
Yes, I see only part of the "view all edits" button. Clicking it works as expected so I haven't made it much of a concern. I'm using Firefox here.
If this is true, then there are 2 reasons why I'm not buying games from them. 1. My machine has Terrabytes of storage. I don't need an online site to store my games. If anything, I doupt they would appreciate me storing as many saves on their servers as I do with other games locally. I'm certain I would among the first to hit the save limits (if there is going to be any). 2. I hate logging in to play games. I not sure what factor(s) make loath the idea so much, but for me its
Do we get spells to choose the appearance of our children? I mean not just to make them look pretty (instead of ugly). I want to be able to give my kids green, blue, pink, and/or purple hair just because I think it would look cool (I've watched too much anime). Designer babbies basically. I mean seriously, I'm *THE* soveriegn and channeler. I can bring life back to a barren world. I can casts magic spells. I can even research the "master of magic" spell. If that isn't reason enough to
Not likely. It would be a surprise to many if they did. Stardock is commited to Windows at the moment. Maybe if the Mac market share grew a bit bigger, they might reconsider.
[quote]I apologize to all for not making into your Beta program(my fault).[/quote] You need not appologize for not being part of the beta. Its hell right now, and the devs still kid that this game will be the cause of your hard drive breaking, the leaking of your banking information to the net, securom, psychological truama, live scorpians... etc. Read the dev posts cause my memory seems to be a bit fuzzy on the horrors that the elemental beta causes (side effect?). Now if you
I use Keyboard LaunchPad, but I only use it to Pause/Play windows media player. I select a play list, and if the door bell or phone rings, a quick "ctrl+p" lets me pause things without the need try to find the player. I haven't done much else with it... yet. I have the sudden urge to try to figure out what else it can do. ---- Anyways, you probally can't do this yet, but I would like to be able to pause/play Youtube. Like I said, the door bell and the phone are
Not a bad idea. I however, give a higher priority on having an "in game clock". That way I don't play till 5 in the morning. I'm all for the "Turn Counter" after I have my clock. However, the user interface will likely change before the game is released, so I wouldn't worry about things quite yet.
Edit: Adjusted a few details @BoogieBac, original post I remember those games well. Good picks if you want to set a point. I could add comments for all of them, but I'll add other picks instead. - The planet killing city - Midgar (FF7) [link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBvnot7pkvg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBvnot7pkvg[/link] I doubt that any single video would set the mood the city "Midgar" gives the game, but you should
I'll add some quests I want to be able to do later. For now I want to describe how I want the quest system to work. Looking at the picture in reply #6 gives me a sense of dread. This dread isn't because of the rats in the basement (which could be horrifying if they are big enough). Its because I don't ever want to be forced to deal with a quest the moment I'm informed that its available. I would like to get the message, and write it down in my journal notebook. I would like to be able
Well, the game could have specific symbols placed in front of the tech name. So when ever the colour of a tech comes into play, so does the symbols. For instance. I'll be using emotes (whatever they are called) since I lack a prepared set of symbols: -(a green tech) [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e] Farms -(a yellow tech) [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Mines -(a red
