As far as I know, Best Buy doesn't have any special content. It certainly isn't mentioned on their website. Although granted, their website is completely F---ed up in regards to Elemental. It lists a different publisher and has no pics, but the prices for it and the limited edition are right, and the real release date (8/24) is also correct.
The beta is now closed. Just wait a couple days until the game is released and you can play it all you want.

That's just what happens on Amazon. Check just about anything that hasn't been released yet; there are almost always independant sellers already offering it "used."
What store was this at? There's one company that comes to mind that likes to break street dates and screw over Stardock...[e digicons]:P[/e]
There are flying creature, but there aren't flying units in the sense that you can't build a massive army of knights on flying horses or whatever. They are rare and hard to come by, but they will exist.

[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="18" id="2716681"]United States Post can ship a 5-pound box cross country for $3.94 if shipped as media (and computer software on a DVD counts as "media") or $4.95 using a Priority Flat Rate mailer. [/quote] Yeah, but that's *just* the CD in an envelope (the $3.94). You wouldn't be getting an actual box. And Kryo said the limited edition doesn't fit in the $5 flatrate box, and I imagine there would be a huge outcry if it cost different ammounts to charg

What would you call the game-code in the back of the novel? [/quote] I'll clarify: I'm glad they don't have any in-game codes in the limited editon of the game that we were talking about.
[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="14" id="2716636"] Quoting Annatar11, reply 9 First class only goes up to 13 ounces, anything over has to be shipped Priority. Even then you should be able to ship it for no more than $5. Only reason I wanted a boxed copy was for a physical manual, but that's honestly not worth an extra $10-$20 to me. Of course I could have always bought it retail, but then I wouldn't have it on release day (and probably not t
[quote who="NeoWolf73" reply="5" id="2716590"]Its nice enough, can't wait to play the game. The only reason I went for normal as opposed to limited is because it didn't offer anything "in game" bonuswise.. unlike the novel, which will be giving us another campaign type thing in game so i have novel pre-ordered (although being in the UK can I just say getting the novel over here NOT EASY), you may want to look into that. Manuals, maps, miniatures etc..all nice but in game
[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="5" id="2716626"]One thing I don't get is that he keeps saying that the system requirements are the same as GalCiv II, but according to Impulse, the requirements for Elemental are considerably higher: GalCiv II 800 MHz Processor 256 MB Available System Memory 32 MB DirectX 9.0c Compatible 3D Video Card (32-Bit Color) Elemental 2.4 GHz Processor 1 GB Available System Memory 128 MB DirectX 9.0c Comp
[quote]This comment really made ma laugh, but at the same time it could be yet another possibility that "made sense", cause yeah we go to Africa on Safari trips to see animals being animals.

As the game isn't out yet, no, no one has any definative answers for your questions. And the devs are almost certainly too busy finishing the day 0 update and such to answer questions. The interface can apparently be changed with DesktopX, but no one knows how much.
[quote who="Raven X" reply="97" id="2715868"] Quoting kyogre12, reply 93 Oh well, that's what modding is for. Although I'm not completely sure where Raven got this idea that changing it requires "Extensive Knowledge of Python" (or why he capitalized those words) Ok, so you know how to change it from Turn Based to Real-Time/Continuous Turns in XML? I sure don't. I figured that being a pretty much "Core Mechanic" it would take knowledge o
[quote who="markgil" reply="32" id="2715898"]whatever happened with the 64 bit version? is it still going to be implemented? [/quote] Not at release. It will come later.
AFAIK, you won't get an email until the game is available, and it won't show up in Impulse until the same. If it's the 24th and you still don't have anything, then I would get worried.

AFAIK new quests, monster, etc, will spawn as the game progresses. Again, AFAIK, the only supported language will be English. There *might* be a Russian version, but I'm not really sure about that.

[quote]Speaking personally, the modding thing bothers me more then the LAN thing. The LAN thing took over and while I'm not happy about it, it's no different then Starcraft 2 and I live with it there. But the modding thing? My intention for the game is to play both SP and MP with a friend who also bought the game, and do some modding (in particular Wizards towers ala AoW 2, so a sovereign could stay and home and cast).[/quote] Now I could be wrong, but IIRC the custom servers was neve

As a definition, you could write that this mod aims at increasing the RPG part of the game, and the number of gameplay interactions with the world, with the use of numerous various skills.
