It's been called Elemental: Fallen Enchantress all this time. I don't see any reason to change it.

Imperium Galactum was my gateway drug. I played it so much I literally wore out the floppy disk. I miss my C64. Civ certainly has gotten plenty of play time too.

Reply to New Space Strategy Game in Development "Endless Space" in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="onomastikon" reply="107" id="3173368"] Thanks. I've been seeing a lot of talk of demo and beta, but I can't find either. There's a huge green "Sign Up" button on the Endless Space site, but clicking that gets you an "Error 404" -- that's disheartening. Not even a download tab. Am I missing something?[/quote] That is just for the forum signup which works fine for me. You have to pre-order to play the beta on Steam.

The devs are planning a update at the end of this month. I expect this will be the multiplayer update, since they have a internal working build of multiplayer.

Reply to The state of Steam in 2012 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I like Steam. I've been with them since the beginning and they have never done me wrong. As others have said I buy games from them all. I almost never buy retail; the last thing I want is a cd/dvd that gets lost. IMO Steam and the other digital distributions services have been god-send for pc gaming.

Reply to Friday Night Poll: 64-bit DLC in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Since 64 bit is the future of gaming, for those who don't know the next version of Frostbite 2 engine is going 64 bit only. Yes it currently powers the Battlefield shooters, but Command & Conquer Generals 2 will be using it. I'm sure there will be more titles using this engine as well. IMO it's about damn time. So I voted YES.

Reply to I murdered our retail plans today in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Why should I get in my car and drive 20 to 30 minutes to the store for a PC game when all that is needed is click, click, click, order placed, downloading. **** retail. BTW Gamestop I believe has seen the light since they now own Impulse. :) They got some good sales going on now. I think the new twist to gaming and making money is what Blizzard is doing with Diablo 3. They are supporting a real world currency auction house for in-game items. I think it will be interesting to see were

If anyone is interested in playing this game early, IGN Prime has beta keys that are good until 3 May. Of course you have to subscribe to IGN Prime. Which is a very nice time to do it; they gave King Arthur, Crusader Kings Complete, and Space Pirates and Zombies all for free. Also a permanent 15% discount for Gamersgate, so I pre-ordered Warlock for 17 bucks (pre-order include the DLC pack) not bad at all. Geez I sound like a salesman. Anyways I second everything Silicor said, fo

[quote who="larienna" reply="63" id="3132543"]I don't want to promote competition, but I never heard of Warlock. I took a quick look and it looks cool ... because there is hexagons (I a an hexagon worshippper). But it sincerely looks like Civ V with magic. I hope this game would be modable, I could make a master of magic for that mod too. That could be interesting, 2 MOM mod on different games that share ressources like artwork, music and otehr stuff.[/quote]

Reply to So Civ5 is out... in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Both games make me want to cry. Civ 5 crash, crash, alright it works, 50 turns later crash, oh look 1.8 GB memory leak, crash, it's very frustrating. Elemental very rarely crashed on this system, but had very bad performance issues, gameplay balance issue, but at least I can finish a game. I can't with Civ. To be fair it could very well be compatibility issue with my crossfire setup. I kick myself for not waiting for demos.

DX 11/10 crashes on me within the first few minutes of starting the game. DX 9 runs flawless for me. I have everything set to max except no AA. I am running two 4870 in c

[quote]Civ 5 has problems, has great reviews. But as you said is a better game at the end of the day. However I am still seeing a number of sites and new reports stating that the game has it flaws. And seeing several sites that posted 90-98 (out of 100) points on the game and then seeing 1up give it a C, gets me a tad bit confused on who or what to believe.[/quote] Now that I got some hours into Civ 5. I agree with the 1UP review. The AI needs work, diplomacy is weak, and I hate that
