For the love of god, let this game die. You guys are great, you make some of the best games I have ever played. I cant tell you how much I would love to see more sins, demigod, galciv or your next genius creation. I bought elemental, it was a huge dissappointment but I feel like i never stop paying for it because i know its eating time that could be used to develop the next fun thing. Elemental will simply never be fun. I would rather elemental just took my money

All I can say is YES!!!! I thought you let this game die long ago and it was such a shame. As much as Elemental should have been more fun and let down a lot of people (short term - we trust you), Demigod was just PURE fun and didnt seem to have the long term dedication and community.....no new maps, nothing to "freshen" it and bring people back online........ Please please, just revitalize this game, next to SOASE, its the best you've done and both are far and away more fu
[quote who="DrAngry" reply="280" id="2784525"]It's not worse. AI is bad in waging war, because it doesn't seem to grasp the idea of tactical combat. Diplomacy is weird. Major civs pull some crazy stunts and it's hard to tell whether they like you or not. On the other hand, diplomacy with minor civs is perfect and very transparent. But compared to elemental, it's all mindblowingly advanced. AI in elemental fails on every possible aspect, not just tactical combat. And diplomacy is no
I'm a win 7 64 bit guy and directx11 runs great! No issues at all! Civ V is a MUCH better game at this point, there is no comparison. What happens in the future I can't predict but I sure am expecting a lot as elemental thus far has fallen way short of what I have come to expect from stardock. That being said, I love their support....I just dont think from purchase to finished/fun game the timeline should be months. Civ V is fun NOW!
Well, I had the Elemental beta for months and was 1000% behind it, but CIV 5 is hands down better if you have a PC to handle it. For me, both will get play, I'll be playing CIV 5 for the next month until I go on a roadtrip for a few months and then I'll play elemental because it should run decently on my laptop (where CIV V wont). Hopefully, this will give elemental time to "mature" as well. I have loved stardock for many years, elemental is going to take time to live up t
The way it was presented was, there was a huge expansion to be broken into 3 phases.....what will the 3rd one be and when can it be expected?
Cool, but PLEASE fix the bug where a town doesn't understand when to level up. ie: "Your town will reach the next level when population reaches 0" That cant be a hardware issue thats a general coding issue!
No matter how you build reg, you CANNOT skip scope 1 (it should be one of the 1st 3 skills learned). Reg needs space as he is relatively squishy and should not be toe to toe, he needs the range advantage (and with many DGs it IS an advantage..if you play well you can get more shots in on your oppenent than he does on you, at least early in the game (especially if you have your tower to duck behind.). Not to mention not putting yourself out of tower range makes no sense at all. &nb
Just a thought but perhaps stacking evade items instead of speed? No I don't think it's a good idea but I feel the same about speed rook lol.
Don't choose one because they are ahead lol....if possible for what you can play...choose the one behind. It will increase the chances of a non AI game ... it sucks when everyone looking for a game is on either light or dark. Either a game can't start or its non competitive.
Seriously, we all know AI sucks.... uneven is only a mismatched game and shouldn't even start!
Enough said!
This probably means nothing but..... After GalCiv(s), SOASE and DemiGod I have unyielding faith that you will produce a fun game that is fresh. There is no way I would pre-order any game from any company other than stardock...you guys have been THAT good (with the exception of perhaps releasing Demigod too early). I just pre-ordered and am confident that it was the right decision. Thank you stardock for the many hours of fun you provide!!!!!!
K so somehow at 26-4 I am in over 550th place and a guy is 8-7 in 14th....... I realize it goes by experience but it seems obvious to me some people are getting ridiculous amounts through bugs...I also see many instances of like1000xp in 5 games..... There has got to be a better way....it takes the overall competitveness out of it, the rankings are not reflecting play..there but be some lame XP farming or bugs..... .
Interesting thanks. I find hard isnt that hard but nightmare would come down to the suggestions above. Perhaps this will improve with updates to make AI better. And those who just comment to criticize forum choice....seriously...get a life.

If so...how? It seems to me that your teammates are crap as well as the gold rush for the opposition. One game they refused to leave the base for no reason at all lol. I find you can do okay till about 1/2 way then it ooooover.....
The odd game online they come back and then they are gone again for many games after. Its very annoying, especially when others get their favor points to use in a game.
How you you get them and what do they do?
New update fixes it
Initially I had a lot of trouble connecting to custom games after the patch. Then I finally got one, it crashed and everyone left. Since then it is exactly as you described. The patch seems to have broken things even more........
no
Okay I'm wondering what this means and what I should do..... Often when trying to join skirmish, it shows I am connected to a bunch of players but it kicks me back to where I can hit the "fight" button. I am still showing as connected to the players. If I leave it at this point will the game ever start or do i have to hit fight and let it do its thing? I have not yet connected by leaving it and I have connected by hitting "fight" again...only because it seems to pu
I am thinking a lot of people haven't updated with the apr 22 update and according to the daily log there will be another one today.....MAKE SURE YOU UPDATE so we can all connect with the same versions! I would guess different versions would prevent connection. Let's get this rolling!
Funny, the Pantheon stats show the rook as the most successful demigod overall. I'll admit that surprised me but at the same time a strong player with rook is hard to take down.
