I just wanted to say Thanks to all the stardock peeps for their hard work. I never expected any patches so quickly, but one even before the release day and then one on release day is simply awesome. You guys really deserve some time off....

Well. since we're all still waiting, I'll give y'all a little boost with my MC Hammer ditty: Hopefully the horror of it all will spur on the Stardock Elemental team to one final mighty push! (Or else I'll have to do another verse) Can't touch this Can't touch this (oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh) My-my-my-my this Elemental waiting hits me so hard makes me say oh my Lord Thank you for blessing me an early release and an overpo

Thank you Brad! That's why we love and support Stardock! You guys always look after your customers! I h8 that they did this to you and I know other devs who would have passed the buck along (broken release date) to us and we would be waiting who know how long, so thank you! I hope Elemental sells a gazillion copies, then you won't be an Indie much longer!

I have been a stardock customer a long time and I have never been disappointed with any of Stardock's games. Stardock's customer service and commitment to their clients is what the industry standard should be. They would rather spend their time and money on polishing the game than on advertising and promoting it. I personally applaud this approach and wish more developers felt the same way about quality control. How many coaster games do you hav

[quote who="TENGILL" reply="11" id="2714396"]I got a update on facebook that says: "Elemental: War of Magic Now, one thing I think I can say (and I’m not promising this because all things are ultimately decided by the IT gods) but it is our plan to make the “gold” version of the game available a bit early to those in the beta and those who pre-order will also likely get it a bit early. We hope to start pre-loading Elemental onto machines early to mid next wee

[quote who="Brillig" reply="20" id="2713982"] Quoting jparm3rd, reply 19 I thought the trailer was fantastic! It makes me want Elemental all the more! What's there to apologize for? Crikey its a trailer! Moreover, the trailer was sent to your email BEFORE RELEASE (how many devs do THAT these days?) AND THE GAME IS GOING TO BE RELEASED ON TIME!!!!

If you select the digital download and boxed version purchase option, you can elect to not download the game and wait for the boxed version to come in the mail. I don't know the waiting period on the boxed media itself, but sometimes it comes well after the digital dowload release, so you'll have to ask one of the support peeps about that. The price for the digital download option and the price for digital download + boxed version option is the same. You do have to

@Frogboy I too echo the OP in thanking you for your hard work. I will make a devilishly macho Frog and have it snuggle down with all of Elemental's hot heroines. [e digicons] LOL

@VonVenture: Have you tried UFO Extraterrestrials? The modded game by Bman is incredible. It is an excellent successor to X-COM. You can buy the game by googling it. The link to the mod site is http://www.ufo-scene.com

I am very excited about Elemental coming out this month. It looks like an awesome follow up to MOM, which I still love. Torin the Chosen, anyone? I am so stoked that Stardock decided to make this game! Very very cool! I hope they make their projected release date, but if they don't, it won't be a problem waiting for them to polish it up. Even so, they are excellent with updates and patches. Too much garbage out there these days to knock a company

Moo 3 was just pure garbage. Even with all the ice cream mods (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, etc) it still was a messed up piece of coaster trash that NEVER EVER deserved the Moo name. Just a real shame to mess up the Moo franchise legacy with the donkey doo doo that 3 was. As for Stardock & Generalisimo Wardell doing Moo4 in the spirit of Moo2.....all I can say is: FREAKING AWESOME!!! [e

Does anyone know where I can find a good strategy guide for Gal Civ 2 or provide links to one? (I have Twilight of the Arnor installed, etc) I'm a noob. I bought the game a while back & have it patched up, but this christmas I FINALLY have free time to sit down and play it. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] So--I've been through the tutorials, but that just scratches the surface. A guide that goes into more depth on how to do things would be awe

What exactly are extreme planets? (This is in the setup where you are choosing the universe you wish to play in. There is a sliding scale: rare, common, abundant, etc.) How do extreme planets differ from ordinary planets? Is the planet size different or is it the climatic conditions of the planet, requiring tech improvements in order to colonize them? Thanks.

Hi! I downloaded TA off Stardock (SWEEET!!!) but I don't see any manual outlining how to use the wonderful new features the expansion has, etc. The manuals (Dark Avatar or Dread Lords) did not update with the new material nor does the readme mention it. Does anyone know if there is a manual for the TA expansion and if so how does one get it??? Thanks!!!

Hello all. Sorry in advance. I'm an older citizen and new to these forums, so if I'm not posting in the right place, etc. etc. please forgive me. No insults intended. I'm just not greatly computer literate. I wanted to take a sec and say THANK YOU! to Stardock for the Galactic Civilizations 2 series. It is an outstanding collection of work and a real treat to play. I recently purchased the Twilight expansion and it looks just beautiful!

Excellent points and opinions for all who replied. I have a lot to consider. I do have version 1.4x, so thanks to Quixen for that recommendation, it sure woould make a difference if I didn't have it, considering all the changes Stardock has made! We seem to be on the same wavelength Quixen, because I am doing exactly what you did and expect to find what you stated, that the game gets boring doing so, so yes I will start over and ramp up the difficulty once I've mastered the game mec
