Same here too until I at least get the basics down on what I'm doing in the full game. I like having the Sovereign on the map. I also don't see a problem having him as powerful as he is. He should be. I don't think anyone has anything to worry about when it comes to "balance" issues at later stages of developme

[quote who="Scorpiana" reply="16" id="2386173"] Whats your problem with Vista x64? Well, for one thing, it's too expensive for what it adds in my opinion.

No offense taken, GW Swicord, no worries. It's just a idea brother. I figure if enough people like one of the ideas then Stardock will take a serious look at it. Also to the contrary, if enough people say "Hey, no, I don't like that." I'm cool with that too. In the end the Game itself will benefit from having what the players want in it. It's a Win/Win situation [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] <span sty

[quote who="scottrycroft" reply="1" id="2385754"]I'm surprised you've gotten loading to work at all, as the devs have said it won't be in till next update. Starting a new game is the same issue.

[Bug/Graphics] [0.23] Grey World on Second World Load in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I load and start a game, get a Victory, and start a new game and on the map load for the beginning of the next game I get a Grey World. The UI is there and visible as normal but the entire world map and everything on it is flat Grey. It happens after a defeat and I start a new game too. It doesn't happen all the time either, only sometimes. DxDiag: http://pastebin.com/m400b9545 DeBug.err : http

Stack Units with Shift Click in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Did you know: You can stack units into bigger armies by holding shift and clicking to move a unit into a stack with another unit.

I'm running XP Pro 64 and all seems pretty well here too. So a game that's going to take so much advantage of multi-core processing and 64 bit operating systems won't come with XP Pro 64 support? I'm rather shocked and dismayed now...

I see what you're saying Demiansky and it will have it uses that's for sure. It is a good idea, I just don't want to see the minor cities get lost to all PC control. As you state we won't be raising armies from cities that manufacture armor and weapons. They just make the goods then ship them off to the city with the barracks and high population. They initiate the drafting and conscript the units. This is why guarding your caravans in Elemental will be so important. I think implementi

Thanks for the history of the debate, GW Swicord. I speed read most of the thread and though it is similar in some posts, it's still not quite what this thread is in as far as Topic.

Something I noticed in Elemental which is the same as Gal Civ 2 is you'll be able to "specialize" cities by the types of buildings you build in them. Let me explain by going over a part of Gal Civ 2 real quick. In Gal Civ 2 I had 3 main colony (In Elemental Cities) "types". Colonies that brought in money, colonies that did research, and colonies that made my fleets. One "type" had almost nothing but buildings that made money (Planetary Exchanges), another type had nothing but factorie

I can see a use for a Ton of Map Filters and tabs for them. Perhaps even check boxes. You can filter out or in any element you'd like. Some examples would be to toggle City Names, Locations, Shards, Monsters, Enemies (other Sovereigns), Vassals. The list can go on and on. That shouldn't be too hard to implement.
