Brad and the devs need to remember this article by Brad: http://draginol.joeuser.com/article/88762 Specifically this: "...But Galactic Civilizations has always been a strategic game. It's never been a game about tactics. It's literally a clash of civilizations. You're building a civilization and you want to see how it is able to compete against other civilizations." Please NO
pop ups like that are great, but stuff like that needs the ability to be turned off in the options if we don't want it...
[quote who="Dave_Genesi" reply="3" id="2821510"]Civ V is fun, but the end game is BORING!! I get to the point that all I am doing is plowing through turns to finish the space race. Hurry and build the parts. I got bored with Civ V quickly. I have been playing Fallout: New Vegas for the time being. I have completed that game once, about 75% done with my second play through so I hope EWoM 1.1 will be out soon. I have very little left to play and I have been itching for more EWoM! I am glad it i
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="28" id="2821313"]Registrations can be transferred, but SD does not directly support the resale of games since they don't see any income from that sale.[/quote] Here's my take on reselling games. Let's say SD makes 1000 copies of a game, and sells all 1000 copies. That's all the income they are entitled to for those games. If those 1000 people sell their games to a third party, SD isn't entitled to income again fro
[quote quoting="post"] See title. I'm just really disappointed that we're not getting regular updates anymore. For whatever reason. I've been lurking around these forums a LOT since 1.09's release to see when I could start getting excited about this game again and it's very disappointing that the level of communication has dropped off since Kael has come on board. I expected more... Please get back in to the regular updates thing, or I'll just have to lose interest.... <
I think you have Impulse confused with Steam. Impulse is fast, and it doesn't have to be running in the background to play... [quote who="konjad" reply="9" id="2819935"] Quoting Lord Xia, reply 4What's wrong with impulse? It's a crap with slow download rate and every time I reinstall the game I need to wait at least 2-3 hours of download time instead of just installing it from .exe within 5 minutes. If I ever won't have an interne
one question: does anyone who isn't a pirate ever ask the OP's two questions?

[quote who="Stuie_acs" reply="4" id="2819340"] Quoting charon2112, reply 2 Is that new? Because in the past, all six books were available in the game setup area, when you make a sovereign.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="1" id="2819217"]You have to research the summoning book.[/quote] Is that new? Because in the past, all six books were available in the game setup area, when you make a sovereign.

When I create a new sovereign, I have just 5 spell books to choose from. No summoning? what happened?
Please remember that this (bolded text below) is the heart of Elemental. This is a 4x game, and although tactical battles and fun spells are cool, they should never come at the expense of all the things that make a 4x game great. I read often in these journal about how you guys are working on tactical stuff and making spells better, etc...but I much less about improvements that make EWoM a better 4X. That said, welcome! and good luck in your n
[quote who="Mystikmind" reply="12" id="2819070"] quoting post I love Elemental, but is there any "Galciv2"-style moments, where you're exploring and come across that class 36 or higher planet. Because THAT is a great moment, you know wars will be fought over those planets. It's one of the things that makes GC2 great...Does that kind of thing exist in EWoM? And shards don't really cut it. Actually it is in Galc
[quote who="Elestan" reply="20" id="2816748"]I would certainly like to see tactical combat in GC3; it could always be turned off as a game setup option for those who don't like it.[/quote] I'd be ok with that, as long as they also include a fully featured combat viewer like in GC2...

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="2817645"]I've been working on a new manual for v1.1. [/quote] Will it be a new, comprehensive manual covering everything? Or is it just for new additions to 1.1?
glad to hear it. Thanks Brad!

[quote who="Gandhialf" reply="9" id="2814281"] Quoting charon2112, reply 8I think the music is great. If you like GC2's music, you'll probably like Elementals... There are some games, which I missed an opportunity to play. Currently I'm reducing backlog and playing Master of Magic (from gog.com). Next will be Age of Wonders 1 (at the moment I only know the demo version and the music from it). I will have to wait for Gallactic Civilizations 2 and its music for a whil

If you get it, buy it at Wal-Mart, it's only $39.96... [quote quoting="post"] Hi there everyone, I've been following the progress of this game religiously since I first heard about it (which was not long before release). I've always loved fantasy based strategy games, like Master of Magic, or even my recently discovered FFH2 mod for CIV4. For someone like myself who likes these types of g
[quote who="Somaed" reply="131" id="2810546"]Oh Dragonforce! I loved that game! Still have it with my Saturn! I'd love to see another game like that someday, nothing else around like it.[/quote] I'm jealous. Dragonforce fetches big bucks now.
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="15" id="2810275"]Damn, I should have gotten it at Wal-Mart instead of Impulse, they are selling it for 10$ cheaper and it comes with extras [/quote] Yeah, they "rolled back" the price to $39.96 last I checked.
[quote quoting="post"] Hello, I picked up a copy of the game at Walmart, and inside was an insert saying to go to www.elementalgame.com/walmart to enter the serial number to access the free content. Only, when I go to that address, it says log in to link the content with my Impulse account. When I log in, I get dropped back to the Elemental website's homepage, with no notification of whether it did anything or not, and at no point was I asked to enter my serial key. I've launched t
[quote who="Mystikmind" reply="4" id="2807077"]Give up guys, AI diplomacy never works properly, even in games that put allot of effort into it (such as the civ series). And it never will until such time as we have proper artificial intelligence![/quote] GalCiv2's AI and diplomacy are pretty darn good...!
