Just fix the late game slowdown and im happy (:

love this game.

The Bugfix Mod for Elemental 1.06 has many small items that could be included.

Alas, it can't be used "as is" because he also made some re-design decisions like nerfing the Haste spell to 1/2 - 1/3 power (presumeably without lowering the cost) that not everyone will agree with.

The pure bugfixes? Those would be great.

Nahh. A series of posts like "1.07 kinda soon", "1.07 soon", "1.07 almost there", "1.07 hold your breath" would just add more confusion.
And what's the point if the feature list can change at any time?
Nothing good ever comes from such announcements when feature XYZ doesn't make the cut after all because "issues" came up. Seen it happen time and time again...

Actually, I don't.

Let's define "slowdown". I do get poor FPS if I try to view big cities or attempt to zoom out in 3D Map mode. Simple fix, set Cloth Map treshold at 86%.

But my turns never get long and I got up to 380 turns on large maps. Wasn't really noticeable. Compared to round turns for games like Empire Total War, barely noticeable.

I really have no care for FPS in a TBS game. I mean it's more comfortable to move the camera around. But It's nothing I can't deal with.

Well if they are making the code easier for Brad to fix the AI with then I guess it's a good thing. I'm just saddies.

Stardock, take a look at the Bugfix Mod. Might want to implement some of the code and fixes.

I can't wait for the patch for the performance fixes. My game drops performance around turn 130 and starts crashing around 150. I need this patch

There is "finished" in the sense that finished implies "complete". In this sense, Brad meant that Elemental will never be complete because he hopes to continually improve it, along with the community. Hence why the active modding support exists.

However. there are such things as deadlines and releases. Elemental has certainly been "released" and is therefore "finished enough" that they feel it is worthy of $50 for and to distribute internationally. However, it is not complete in the sense that Brad thinks it is in a perfect, untouchable and ideal.

Please do not cling to "not finished" as a way to justify releasing the game how it was in 1.0 and 1.05.

that should be fixed partially with the LOS changes and Jesse's mystic changes.

Noted that the shard respawn is seen in map editor as well.

What is your clothmap zoom threshold?

Set it to something like 86% and it will definitely help you out. Dynamic Lighting was also a major hit for performance, turn that off too.

My point is that you can, as a user tweak performance (to an extent), but you cant' do nothing about the AI.

It's certainly a workaround that is sufficient for a little while until the issue has been addressed. The cloth map mode isn't that terrible, and not quite comparable to a text mode interface. (Hey, I still play text adventures!)

I play mostly on cloth map (high threshold set), I zoom in only for building and moving units on smaller distances. Cloth map gives a better and clearer view of the whole play area and it has gameboard feel that is cool.

Damn now i am eagerly wainting for this damn patch. !

Good luck SD deleppers for the works (some will say it's normal) but personnaly i appreciate your effors.

I hope you check you health from time to time anyway !

Gl and have fun so we can have too .
