Reply to Giving minor factions teeth in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

"In regards to the factions being able to give you benefits via diplomacy, could that extend to include swearing fealty, and/or becoming a protectorate?" I'd vote for being able to do that with anybody, major or minor. I'd vote for me being able to become someone's vassal too. Also, trade caravans with minors sounds good. Agree with just about everybody that minors should be more powerful than in GalCiv 2. No strong opinions on how to make them so.

Reply to (Suggestion) streamline the shop in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Agree about being able to see what my character already has without leaving the shop. Maybe instead of a new window, include them in the "your inventory" with an "E" or something to show they are equipped. I'd like to be able to sell what my guy is using now when I buy him a better toy. I'd also like an option to have the shop inventory not include really out-of-date items. How often are we going to buy patchwork armor after we've researched chain and 2 kinds of plat

I'd vote for 1.5. Or 1.4 if you want to get fancy. But it's hardly a deal-breaker.

It used to work for me. Not sure why it hasn't recently. Anyway, 2nd the request for alternatives.

Comments on the manual in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Page 14:a bit confusing when the text mentions "spell research" & "technology research" while the annotations to the screen shot say "lore points" & "research". "research" = "tech research" & "lore points" = "spell research" ?????? Bottom of page 15 & top of 16: the same two things (I hope!) are described as "technology knowledge" & "arcane knowledge", for the benefit of anyone who wasn't confused already. I'd vote for "tech research" and "s

Reply to [Beta 3] [Crash] Often freezes on load, corrupt save files? in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Yes, the "wait" trick has worked for me both times since I read it above. Rebooting used to help sometimes, but not always. So, wait before clicking load -- all an evil plot to make us watch the scrolling artwork on the screen until the city appears and stops moving :)

Reply to blue screen crash in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Just had my 2nd BSOD in beta 3. Message on screen indicated the problem was with an ATI dll. Have also had CDT with windows event viewer blaming the same file. But, my ATI drivers are current. Does Stardock talk to ATI & Nvidia about possible driver issues with their games ??? (XP sp3 32-bit, 3 gb ram, ati 5670 512mb & 10-6 drivers)

When I reloaded the last autosave save game it crashed when I got to about the same point. No dump file this time either. Not a bsod, just Windows saying it had encountered problems. Event viewer said (the 2nd time) "Faulting application elemental.exe, version 0.8.0.5, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.4053, fault address 0x00008aa0" (nothing like that when I got the BSOD)

[BETA 3][SUGGESTION] activity when exit in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

System is slow for about a minute after I exit. Running with task-manager, I see that CPU is 100%, about 50 each for Elemental and system. This is AFTER the Elemental icon has disappeared from my taskbar. I don't mind if it needs to spend some time cleaning up, but I would prefer it not hid and pretend to be gone while it is doing it. Any chance it could remain on the screen until it is closer to being really done? XP sp3 32-bit, 3gb ram
