I only have infiltrator promotion on my spies too. I think it's the only promotion available for spies unless they add more to the game. What promotion are you expecting to see? Hopefully they add more promotions to make citizens even more interesting. Or custom civ promotions, that might be fun or maybe game breaking. :)
[quote]"Need more administrators to build more starbases" notice still doesn't disappear [/quote] Yup that is annoying.
I think all possible promotions are shown but greyed out if you don't have the resources. So I could be wrong but I think if it's not shown then it doesn't exist. They need to add a few more promotions because some citizen types don't seem to have any promotions at all.
I managed to steal at least one tech but it is very rare (as I suppose it should be). But when you get to a certain level eg. Ultra - it seems ok to reassign all spies and the level remains forever at Ultra? I was expecting the level to degrade back down after a while but it doesn't seem to be the case? So can tech stealing still happen at ultra with no spies assigned or do spies have to be assigned. More text explanations needed in-game imo, especially for spies.
Battle camera mode/selection is painful. I think dedicated ui buttons for the different camera views would be better than cycling through them. Could probably remove one or two of them, I think target mode is good, follow mode not so good.
In my game I found some civs gave better deals than others. I think it might depend on relation level with them or maybe race traits. Not sure though.
If adding admirals for some limited tactical control (which sounds good) I would also suggest giving commanders some (different) tactical battle options too. Perhaps having both in a fleet for more tactical options or promoting commander to admiral to provide them with the extra options. I'm a fan of a being more hands on with invasions and battles. Perhaps one option could be flee/retreat for when you are surprise attacked by overwhelming force. Looking forward to seeing what ne
I wonder what it would be like if you had to research detection of the various resource types. So you would be discovering new resources at previously explored areas as you play through the game instead of all at the start. Might also be interesting if only survey ships could detect certain resource types. I think that would be cool and make survey ship even more valuable.
Crusade is way better imo. Much more interesting to play and unlikely I would go back to vanilla. I'd vote to port back what ever features makes future dev of the game easier and less prone to bugs. I guess people who prefer vanilla over crusade (do they exist?) would have a better idea of what should be consolidated.
I encounter this too but didn't realise what caused it.
I was adding and removing spies fine but something happened that has caused my spies not to be able to be seen or removed on the enemy planet where I assigned them. If I go to citizen summary there are two spies shown as being assigned to enemy planet. But when I go to the planet it doesn't show any spy icons over the improvements any more and so I can't see where they are or remove them. I suspect another different enemy going to war with me might have caused this but not sure. In ci
If you transfer a spy to your own planet you can't seem to get him back. So I'm thinking that it might be a bug and shouldn't be possible as there seems no benefit or reason to do it. Playing Steam 2.13 beta
I have same graphics problem with ugly shadowing on ships and stations. On amd here so perhaps not driver related if you're on nvidia.
I get the impression there could be a memory leak or something because I got a blue screen twice from my game. Sometimes I might get 2 or 5 or so turns after load before it happens.
My game has ctd aswell today. I only got the game recently so it's my first ever game that I started on 1.3 and I'm at season 441. I've been playing for a good few hours on 1.4 no problem up to this. After the ctd I restarted the game, loaded last autosave and moved a couple of units and then I got a blue screen of death!! Here's my save game file if it's any use... https://www.dropbox.com/
Well " Elemental: Fallen Enchantress - whatever" is a cool and interesting title. There is a lot of good press out there on the latest versions and reading up on the games roots and evolution from something not so good(apparently) to something great is kind of a selling point in itself. So retaining that history in the title might not be not such a bad thing. I just bought the game recently and although I heard mention of a poor early version most of what I came across was po
