Capitol transfer?

from Elemental Forums


Hi guys, i am surprised that stardock didnt charge us to buy this expansion if they already own previous software. I was messing around with the game trying to understand it. I didnt like the previous game awhile back, feel that many things were missing and GUIs, etcs.

Anyway i looked on reference for improvements to see if i could transfer capitol to another location, sometimes the starting area may not good place to develop. Unless there already a button that i missed.

 

Want to say that i am much happier with this expansion than it was before, cant remember how old the other game is. It been awhile since i played. Thank Stardock for letting us have or having a discount for previous Elemental.

You don't need to build the first city (your capital) on the first location you have close by. You can try to find a better one with your sovereign. Of course, this brings some other risks, like you falling behind the AIs or your sov dying to a wandering monster and then it's game over :-)...

 

In any case, if you don't like your starting position you can always Ctrl+N for a better one.

As stated, if you press Ctrl+N, a new map will be generated (faster than starting a new game, but sometimes it leads to a crash if abusing).

Anyway, take in mind that randomness is big part of this game, so having a "perfect" place to start will be "uncommon" or "rare" ;) and might take many times trying. And once you explore, you might find that there are no other good things near...or big lakes, or long mountains...

No you can't move the capital
