I jus tlove the name of it. So is there any other abilites that IBNobody may have not listed? Thanks again IBNody, your article is a great help for me.

I am still trying to learn the game. I am curious what do you guys do. So far, since I don't know any better, I settle my first settlement or city right away. Then I build the "beacon of forget what is called :)). I try to train something, but so far I don't have enough resources. My first research is to get farms, which I am guessing will let me farm that one piece of fertile grassland. Why is there only one? I thought there would be be many. I guess I will just have to scout

I was reading the Faction and Sovereing Creation Trait list (great job btw way, thank you very much) and read a few things to take or not to take because they don't work. I read in a different FAQ, (I believe it's stickied at the top) and it said Death Worship doesn't work. So I am curious do people know what skills and traits works and what doesn't work?

Please forgive me if I said this before. Not feeling good, so I can't rememeber if I said this or not. First of all, I am disapointed with Civ V. I am a big critic of Jon Shafer and said some negative things about hime. (not personal things) The way I see it, it's the Lead Designer who takes all the credit when things go well, it's the Lead Desinger who takes all the flak when things go wrong. It's just how it goes being a Lead Designer. So I blame him for all the ills of Civ V. If th

Finally got the game installed. After 1 1/2 hours at 34% complete, I just went to bed. When I woke up, the game was already downloaded and installed. I turned the game on, went to options and turned up some graphic settings and it said I needed to restart it. Just like any other game, so no problem there. Then I realized, I didn't put in my code. I haven't seen a game install without puttin in a code first. So my question is, becuase I had Impulse download and install the game for me,

[quote who="InternetNerd" reply="12" id="2867991"] Quoting HsojVvad, reply 11 Ok, I will get the game. Methinks you were going to buy it anyways, and didn't really need to ask. [/quote] Actually I wasn't going to buy the game. I really really wanted to get it, but I was very leary of paying $85 for it since I was going to get the Limited Edtion of the game. I really try now and do my homework before I buy a game. After r

I have only 4 gigs left on my hard drive. Yeah a few too many games. I thought I had enough for Elemental but when I try to download and install it, Impulse is telling me I need over 6 gigs to install and extract? HUH? So now I have to delete some games. So is Elemental really 6 gigs? What am I not understanding? I am still new to buying games of the interent, usually I just buy them at the store.

Since I will be getting this game, what faction or race to you guys suggest? I am trying to look to see if they explain it on their site, but I am curious as to what you guys pick and why.

Thank you very much guys, I will be getting this game. While I don't like waiting for the game to download I will get this off Stardock. At $40 instead of paying $85 for the limited edtion with taxes included, $40 is a reasonable price to pay. I am looking for a good game. I don't care if it's not the best game ever, it seems the current version is playable now, and a few people are at least having fun now. So I will try it out. Thank you all for you time helping me out.

Ok, I will get the game. As much as I want that Dragon, I will buy it off Stardock. EB is still selling it for $50, and when I called them they said it's a corporate decision and they can't change the price. I will get this game now espicially for your honesty. I don't care if this is the best game ever, I just want to have fun. As an example, Masters of Orion III was pretty bad at launch, but it was fun to play at least for me for a while. So now that you say it's a good game, not a

I am not sure if I am allowed to ask the CEO this, but I will anyways. I am tired of buying games that are big disapointments when games come out. I really really hate, release game early and patch later. This is why I stayed away from Elemental even though I was happy with Gal Civ 2 and it's first 2 expansions. Never got Twilight yet. What brought me back to elemental after doing my home work? After reading how unstable the game Was, and how disapointing the game was, and how even no

I called my local EB store, since I hate waiting for the game to download. They say they have one copy of the limited edtion. Is it really worth it? How is this "cloth" map? I love collecting minitures, and from the video I saw, it's not really that big, BUT the detail looks good. So to me, the mini if bought at a store seperately is about $20 I believe. So do you think I wouild be happy with the limited edtion. I think they are selling it for $75 + taxes. So for me that would be $85

I just noticed the specs. It says a dual core 2.2 ghz. I only have a dual core 2.0 ghz 4gigs of ram, windows 7 64bit. Now I am worried the game will run slow. My laptop is an Acer Aspire 8730 with an NVidia 9600M GT graphics card. So will I be able to run the game? I see it's only $40 on impulse. So if my laptop can run the game, is there any advantage to buying the game at the store and having the box?

How is the manual? Is it a Dead Tree Format manual in the box? Is it helpfull? Is there like a "civilopidiea" for Elemental? As I was doing some research, I read there is scenarios you do? I don't really care for scenarios. Is there an option where you start with a "settler" and found a city or town, and then continue from there? How may cities do you usually end up with? I like to have like 10-20 cities or more. From the screens I have seen, I see people had less than 10. Is this ok,

Thank you guys it does help. Oh I was hoping for spies. :( Please keep them coming. This game looks so promising. I was wondering if I should get the game, so at least I can learn it. Then again, I don't want another Civ V, where I finally learn how to play the game and don't play it because it's not fun to play. I see reading other posts, 1.2 is suppose to be coming out soon? So now the question is, get game now to learn the fundementles and hope patch makes it good, or just

Hello all, I have been trying to read the "is this game any good" threads, but they haven't answered any of my questions. I know most don't think the game is good yet, but some say they love the game. Since all our tastes in games different, I may be in the "it's a good game" camp. So hopefully you guys will be able to answer my quesitons. I have played a few "bad" games, and ended up liking or loving them and played some "excellent" games, and I just thought they sucked, so I am coming into

I thought Galactic Civilizations II was good. I never got Twilight yet, just because I don't care for the space combat system. Part of the 4X experiance for me is controlling my combat. Distant Worlds I love. I would recomend that game. Another game, that is not bad is Star Ruler. It was released way early just like Elemental. The designers apologized for this as well. They said if the didn't release the game the would have folded. Patch after patch after patch is being released to ma
