Thanks, was able to play 2 hours, posted a few bugs on steam as "Jupp" (not many, need to go to bed now :p). Not sure if these were already reported. http://steamcommunity.com/app/226860/discussions/2/558752449391258915/

Reply to Things I like in the GalCiv III Alpha. in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

GalCiv 3 Alpha is way better polished and stable than most current released games of the past decade. Sure, a lot of content is still missing, but many other companies would have already failed with just what we have now in the alpha. I could call out some companies now, but everyone knows them (some of the big ones).

Reply to No Multiplayer in Fallen Enchantress. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Very good decision imo. Of course, i still want to see MP in FE too. But for now i can live without it. Focus on the Base Game first, get that thing working right first, then once everything is set, you can add MP.

Reply to Update To Sony’s Playstation Network and Qriocity Penetrated and Personal Data Stolen in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

I'm actually happy that this happened to Sony. (Note: i feel sorry for those affected!) However, my account was hacked about 1 year ago, quite a few others were hit at the same time as well. Everyone called Sony Support, and they always just said "The PSN can't be hacked!", yeah right... *bullshit* was all i was thinking... I just shutted down my account, since then i didn't create a new one. So, yeah... i'm glad that some smart hack

Reply to Why I chose Elemental over Civ 5 in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="dragoaskani" reply="336" id="2789529"] And yet half the things you complain about were things the community has been asking to be changed for years. As well as several fo the things you complain about were added as expansions to the various games. (or at least expanded upon in them, like espionage in civ 4 vanilla vs when it was upgraded quite a bit in expac) The only thing I can really agree with that you said is the gameplay feeling casual now, but my feeling on that

Reply to Why I chose Elemental over Civ 5 in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Didn't really read all pages here, but i'm really dissappointed with Civ V because of: - the UI, it feels very console-ish - alot less micromanagement is required - happiness is now global - no more cool & stimulating wonder movies (all you see now is just a picture) - no religion - no spionage - you don't have to connect the ressources anymore to your cities - all units can now water, exploring the world is no real challenge. - the tec

Reply to [Gameplay] Spells: Teleport balancing and new concepts in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

Remove teleport completly and instead let the player build portals in their towns later in the game or something.. Or keep teleport and let it only work on build portals in towns. I.e. channeler casts teleport, a window pops up with all cities that have an portal, channeller choses destination, done.

Reply to I'm liking some of the changes in 1.0.8 in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="2778171"] What we are going to do in v1.1 is this: Your sovereign is the powerful Channeler who generates +1 mana per turn. Each time you capture a shard (which in v1.1 willl have 1 seeded near where you start) it will provide +1 mana also as well as amplify certain spells. When you imbue a champion, it costs -1 mana to maintain. When you summon a creature, it will cost -1 mana to maintain. Thus, if you want an army of spell caste

Reply to [Discussion] Human I vs. AI - Risk tolerance, Math, and irrationality in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Do not count on that the AI will be outstanding in a month or even in this year. It might still get an huge improvement in that timefrime, yes, but Elemental AI in it's current state will still take up about 6 - 12 month development time to get it to an challenging/hard/ridiculous difficult state.

[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="26" id="2761375"] Quoting Himmelweiss, reply 24 It is mainly because english sounds by far better than german. And really, almost every german reviewer adds some personal useless fluff i just do not want to read in a review! Or some try to turn the review into some RPG soloadventure read or storyboard... I just don't get it... I favor any US/english review over any german review, anytime! Ah ok, the engli

[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="21" id="2760236"] Quoting Lantros, reply 18 So...its a typical german review. Isn´t it? Gothic 3 was also good example for an incorrect review. Buying the game after reading such reviews make players angry. Thats something that elemental doesnt deserve. Once again...i´m happy about the demo, so i can say to my friends "Test it and you will see. I´m right." Don't know what you and Himmel

If i was Stardock now, i would just back off of the Forums like any other company does. Just post patch notes and leave the boards until all those haters get bored. Sort/lock/delete useless threads like usual.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="2758877"]Glad you're liking it. Over time, we're going to be adding a lot of cool additional features that we hope you'll really like. Here'a a few examples: 1. The magic system is going to get a lot more interesting in terms of spells and how they work. 2. The quests will get a lot more interesting as players are able to start entering dungeons during quests. 3. The AI is going to get a lot better and m

[quote who="Istari" reply="11" id="2760128"] Quoting Robert Hentschke, reply 6 No mention whatsoever of anything like "bug" or "broken features" - besides the obvious lack of multiplayer. And that combat animations are sloooooow and can not be sped up. They reviewed 1.07 but it really sounds like they were testing the 1.35 version... Effectively an unconditional recommendation. The comments - including those by Elemental fans - sing

[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="7" id="2760096"]Why did you post this embarrassing piece of game journalism? I like GameStar, but their review of Elemental is despicable and ignorant of a lot of issues the game has at the moment. There are even some claims in the final verdict that are downright false.

[quote quoting="post"]Words,always words. Was it relly necessary to race with Chris Taylor to see who's going to release his game first ? I'm fed up with your excuses. Let's face it,this is the second unfinished,unoptimized,buggy game Stardock released since GalCiv II ( previous game was Demigod ). Are you going to abandon this game Mr. Wardell, just like you did with Demigod ? Do you still remember your promises about that game ? I don't think so. [/qu

[quote who="ith" reply="4" id="2748680"]A big one to add that I didn't see: (1.06) After saving and re-loading a game where any of your squads have lost members, those lost members are never replaced, i.e. the maximum hitponts of that unit is permanently reduced.
