[quote who="jecjackal" reply="33" id="2831358"]I managed to get the update. Here are the steps I took: 1. Update elemental as you normally would. You "should" receive a "downloaded file was smaller than intended" error. 2. Completely close impulse (use task manager to ensure its closed). 3. Reopen impulse. You should now see and updates pane stating elemental's update was paused. Impulse will prompt you to resume the update, click yes. 4. Run the ga

It looked like I was able to complete download after restarting Impulse a couple of times. However it still says that I have 1.09n[b].108 and that a minor update (.109) is available. Now I get message that file size is smaller than expected again.

Same issue here. I even tried uninstalling & reinstalling 1.09 and Beta. Minor update still will not install.

This list looks to have the game turning the corner from Mediocre St. to the Great Gaming Highway. (Yes I know there's still a lot o work to do, but the team deserves a pat on the back now & then). Can't wait to be your Beta slave again (unlike some other people who shall remain nameless).

[quote]It's worth saying that the great game in Elemental isn't Fall from Heaven (for those hoping or worried that I'm going to try to make Elemental into FfH). That doesn't mean there aren't ideas in FfH that are valuable here, such as faction differentiation, but this is a very different game. This is about exploring a shattered world, engaging in great tactical combat and building a fantasy empire. Master of Magic is the inspiration here, not FfH.[/quote] Been playing FFH while wai

FishSlayer - You do realize that with version 1.1 they are removing the link between Food & Caravans. This strategy will be DOA. Not picking on you personally, I think we'll all have plenty of rethinking to do given all the changes being made. Back to square one everybody!

Reply to How the hell do you demolish a settlement? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I for one find the current AI particularly inept at city placement, or should I say "spam happy". I don't hesitate to raze a city with -11 food, 1 gold, 1 tech research, and 1 arcane research. My rule of thumb is, if I wouldn't build a city there & it doesn't have any other redeming qualities, burn baby burn.

Yigor - I don't believe it was your post that was the problem. Unfortunately it attracted at least one reponse that Brad found offensive (rightly so). I guess they just threw the baby out with the bathwater. Also please remember that freedom of speech is a wonderful concept, but when you're using someone else's dime, they get to have the final say as to what people see.

Tactical battles is a setting. Select "Options" from Main Menu at start-up ("Esc" key in-game also brings up "Options" screen). Look on right hand side of Gameplay Tab. 4th selection down is slider for Tact-Battle Threshold. Lower the # for more tactital battles.
