I hope this isn't a Necro but I was wondering after a nother thread made mention of it, found this and it seems the right place I guess. Walls do present an issue based on these pictures. https://www.elementalgame.com/Screenshots/Screens_8-28-09-7.j

For Single player - If the answer was NO, then the Sov becomes a nuetered unit. With YES, he retains his magical aura and prestige. For Online play - The Host decides, those who agree join, everyone else can go pound sand or each other. ;)
As a compromise, how about if the new structures, those being more than one cell in size, be allowed to be "plunked" on top of an existing single cell dwelling thus incorporating that single structure into the new larger one. Sort of like a RENO upgrade where a second story and 700 more square feet are added to the old hut... Or, allow huts to be built on the side/adjacent of roads thus alleviating some of the reso
The roads you build are nothing more than a conduit for trade among your Cities. An investment made to encourage said trade. If you find yourself unable to defend those roads against the enemy, then the defense of said roads would be the least of your troubles. The enemy is obviously headed for your likewise poorly defended cities, by your road... or not. :)
That Pic would seem to indicate the need for another spell set. Namely Fire Proofing! [e digicons]*_*[/e]

One could also predict that givens the need for roads, even inside the Cities proper (though unseen at this point),the building of all diagonal structures would require twice the squares to avoid said roads from "morphing through" structures as it traverses the city map . Or face always going around the outside of any closed diagonal groups with Hor/Vert road segements ro
Yaaah! I have been fighting this one as well.Quite frustrating indeed. Luckily I have had a secondary distraction arrive on my PC But E:WoM is still tops... :)
Auto uploading of Modded data is truly splendid. Every MP game I have ever played, that included any modding at all, always ask for this feature but normally file size is the issue. Can we assume that File sizes and thusly
At Beta .24 I was getting 30 minutes of game time = CTD (Out of Memory) At Beta .25 I was getting 15 minutes of game time = CTD (Out of Memory) As of Beta .255 I am getting ???? = testing ongoing. :)
[quote]"Needless to saw Beta 2 will be considerably more enjoyable than what's available now...which is painful"[/quote] Thankfully, for myself at least, it is only painful after 25-30 minutes of play, then it simply CDT's. :) All hail .25 for its pain relieving properties(hopefully) ;)
TAB is sporadic at best for myself. If I have my Souv selected on the map and TAB, it will go to my 1 town at the time and then back. If I deselect that same Souv right after and then TAB again, I end up in the map corner with the fancy Compass. Then the TAB never functions properly after that.
Sounds like a Lock-Down on the PC. We do it our office as well to prevent users installing non-standard software that would screw up our Custom setup. Local install require Admin rights. It is a Security thing.
IF Souv death = EoG, and currently a Souv ability to gain Exp is in Battle, then perhaps if the Souv gained his Exp as a percentage of his troops kills, via proximity/radii, then if his force begins to lose, he can simply flee, with a head start, versus being stuck in the middle during those game periods when his powers could be overwhelmed early on. My first lost Souv happen 2 nights ago. I attacked anot
https://forums.elementalgame.com/331361 Yes it is OLD but it was the Thread that got me initially worked up about Elemental and the possible gameplay. It seems Tech is progressing quite fast in the current build. Can it be slowed way down perhaps. ;)
With Random map generation and placement of Factions, using towns with Resources in them or very near by getting Better Bonuses could create a slippery slope scenario. Research should allow materials to be created, but that creation requires access, directly to said resource. Otherwise if I/My Team land on an Iron Mine deposit and my opponent(s) don't or have to wait any number/many of turns to get a similiar
It would seem rather strange to have units built with a Resource of which you have none. Time and cost are irrelevant if the Resource required simply does not exist at the time of need. That would require Magic and so far as we know, the Magic System does not include fabricating a resource out of thin air. I would agree pretty much with <a id="ctl00__Content__RepeaterReplies_ctl07__LinkUser" class="hand" tit
Related: Got .24 to download, then it sat there for 2.5 hours "VERIFYING" the 6.87MB data package. :( I finally gave in and 2 restarts of Impulse later got it to uncompress and install. Sadly, by then, my play time was all but done. LOL

ATI 4850 X2 1024x768 and same issue here.
I will send my debug into tonite but it seems update .23 has not resolved this much. Memory out message after hitting Level 2, with 3 cities built, with my SOV.

Is there a spot on the Wiki page to ask Questions to which other Testers can provide answers and could then be complied into a ingame Q/A section? Wiki states: "The sovereign gains experience by defeating enemies." Question: Is Exp shared with all members of a "Grouping" that includes the Sovereign, or does he/she benefit soley but gets Battle assistance from the other
Correct. Have you tried doing it against a group that would be considered an "Enemy" as opposed to these that are considered a "neutral" grouping? Now I am curious and will try. Assuming .23 fixed my Mem leak enough to go more than 35 turns before a CDT. :)
Does the current faction choice have any bearing on the SOV's? If not, then perhaps a SOV tweaking system based on Faction selected. Always limit any Tweaks/Stat to minor upgrades at best, or within a week of release, every hardcore, win at all costs, player will be playing the same Faction SOV just to WIN! :)
I have yet to lose my own Sovereign but I did think it a tad strange how easy I was killing the other Sovereigns I found while exploring the map. I don't beleive I have yet to get my Sovereign past Level 3 before the "Out of Memory" CTD got me so I was never "high level".
Confirmed here as well with no PIC's sorry. Only got 2 Foot Soldiers on the map after my first ever Re-Load.
