I have the same problem. at this point I'd be happy if I was at least able to delete my current avatar but that won't work either.

Reply to Elemental: What features are holding you back in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I've just won my second game, and while I'm looking forward to many of the features mentioned above (which will, I believe, all come in time) the thing I'd really like right now is a history of my past game outcomes so I can compare the stats from my endgame kingdom to my previous efforts.

Thanks. I've been expecting it to appear on my main character's action menu. I just deleted my current game after yet another crushing defeat, will look at heroes when next I have one :)

marriage in War of Magic Stardock Forums

can someone please explain how I get my character married off and producing heirs? My AI co-players mostly seem to have partners but my rulers are left to bear the burden of command all on their lonesome :(

suggested *ideal* number of cities..? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I only have a few false starts under my belt and I imagine the answer to this will become apparent in time.. I only read a couple of preview articles before placing my pre-order but I gathered from them that Elemental was (at one point at least) designed so it could be played and won with only a few specialized cities in a kingdom. This idea appealed to me as I hate the sprawling mass of cookie-cutter cities which proliferates as most "4X" games advance. So I've been trying to play El

Reply to Elemental Poll is up: How do you like the game? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I haven't participated in the poll because none of the responses feels right for me - I've been looking forward to Elemental forever and now that it is here I like what I see and I know it'll improve over time. I won't recommend it just yet but I anticipate doing so after it has been tweaked a little more.* *A better manual, one that explains what to do a little more than the current PDF version, would go a long way to making it more recommendable. I felt pretty los

I've had to make her an admin - for some reason she couldn't play on "limited" after a cold reboot. no big deal - everything should work for her now at least.

Reply to maybe a bug but probably a Win XP problem in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

I can't use "run as" because I don't have a password on my profile. tried upgrading her status to "administrator" and the game ran OK - I then switched back to "limited" and it still runs so maybe the problem related to the creation of game save directories or something. thanks for your help

maybe a bug but probably a Win XP problem in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

my daughter has been watching me play GalCiv II since it was released and she's just started playing. she's set up as a "limited" user on my PC and has shortcuts on her Start Menu to a bunch of games she plays. when she tries to run GC2 from her desktop she gets the following error message: The application failed to initialize properly (oxc0000022). Click OK to terminate the application. I've

my two main wishes have been covered above, namely: - random selection of opponent races in non-campaign games - easy deletion of previous user-created ship designs I'd also like to be able to play a diplomacy-free game (with no diplomacy options for me or my AI opponents)
