https://forums.elementalgame.com/395781 I get the impression you should shortly, but you have to notify Stardock if you got it through a source that's not listed so they can set it up.
They did for me. Several days ago in fact. There's nothing to actually download yet though. All using the code does at the moment is links the 'upcoming' bonus content to your impulse account. It will probably be a week before you actually can access anything new.
I want to upgrade my caravans with enchanted lightning cannons please. :-P Seriously though, you should be able to attach a caravan guard to them.
The bonus content is listed as follows: Elemental: Destiny’s Embers Character Pack (Xander, Geni, Nym, Galor, Ambrose, Mirdoth, Calis) [SOON] Elemental: Destiny’s Embers MAP Pack [COMING IN SEPTEMBER] Elemental: Destiny’s Embers: Part 1 – Xander & Geni [COMING OCTOBER] Elemental: Destiny’s Embers: Part 2 – Calis & Tandis [COMING NOVEMBER] Elemental: Destiny’s Embers: Part 3 – Nym & Talax [COMING DECEMBER]<
Just had a crash to desktop. Took 9 hours to have one so that's reasonably stable by comparison to last week. Anyway here is the pastebin of the debug.err http://pastebin.com/Y6ky1fgM Current Dxdiag.txt in case you need it. http://pastebin.com/Kbvh5TLb Crash occurred when pushing the end of turn button, I was due to receive a warfare brake through so it's possibly related to that pop up.

Pretty sure that's a bug.

Race creation is separate to faction creation. You'll note during faction creation you have the option to pick your race, those are also supposed to be able to be created (And have their own strengths and weaknesses I believe).
The best method of doing this is send your solders straight into the heart of an enemy city. Then build modern replacements. :-P
Given the weather conditions at sea lately I would be surprised if there are significant delays. We'll just have to keep waiting patiently for the boats to get here, then there's customs, you local postal service sorting etc.

The 3D art certainly could benefit from adding some of the colour from the 2D art. The current colour pallet is rather bland. The lush grassland around town don't differ from the starting wasteland too drastically. Of course using bright colours well is hard...
"I have been chosen... By the giant metal hand in the sky!" I don't mind the feather. It's consistent with the whole writing epics on the history of the channellers theme. I tell you what though the actual selection accuracy of the cursor is a major problem though. Not just in tactical battles. I've lost count of the time I've ordered my units to move to a square (I have the grid display on) and they've started wandering off in the opposite direction to get to a square 5 grids away on
The creation of new life: "It just happens". :-P Out of curiosity is their any reason not to pump out as many children as you can? Do you have to pay upkeep on your kids? Does having large dynasty cause diplomatic tension if you aren't marrying them off? Have contraceptives been invented yet?
I rolled my eyes when I saw one post that can be summarised as: " Respectfully , I have to say agree with Spyndel... I don't like this." And a dev responded to it with "If you don't like it don't post here! Show some respect !" Over sensitive to criticism much... I mean I understand it. They're hurting and there's a salt in the wounds thing going on, but there is kind of a double standard going on. Frogboy encourages reviewers to review t

There are a lot of missing feature from GC2. Adjustable map features selection, projected movement path and arrival estimate display, sortable city production (I haven't found them anyway), unit search, race creation (though that should be coming back), custom game features (Setting personalties of individual AI teams for example), alignment events, mega events, space stations...
It would be interesting if it did both things. In addition to having all the randomly spawned readily accessible resources, also spawn a small number of randomly placed concealed resources revealed by the techs. But also have those techs spawn a fixed number of resources within existing city limits. Why? To add variety, depth and strategy to the game. Having additional resources revealed outside the city limits will create new points on the map of strategic value. Once you get

I mean we can see the 5 most recent replies in the impulse community view (although that is currently not functioning correctly for me) but being able to see a complete list of all posts (thread or reply) by someone would be infinitely more useful.
I'd say wait for a few patches, but be sure to pick it up before the 1.3 patch (Estimated for November I believe) so you can get the first expansion for free. :-P Unless you actually want to contribute feedback based on your experience with the game to help determine how the game turns out at that point. In which case wait about week or two for them to get the technical problems solved and then get it.
I've seen BoogieBac take responsibility. It's besides the point though. A man does have to take responsibility for those working under him. If the end product isn't up to scratch it is ultimately he's fault for not noticing, not directing those under him to fix the problem and of course releasing the product before it's fixed. At least Brad has the courage to recognise this and accept that responsibility rather then taking it out on his staff who really have no 'final' word in ho
It's a bit of redundant exercise as they will probably change drastically in coming weeks. And for all we know an up to date interactive one will be added to the UI at some point.
