Sorry you guys got dragged in on a Sunday.

Hopefully, its just the system's way of stopping me from updating early, but we'll see.

[quote who="long_fella" reply="16" id="2720564"]Interesting, when I launch the game it tells me a huge update is available, it then takes me to Impulse but no update is available.....[/quote] This has been the case for a few days now. I did see a 580-odd update at first, but Impulse told me my 'registeration is invalid', so I think it was just when they where setting everything up ready to go.

If the info saying 'morning' for Beta testers is correct, AWESOME! I'll get to play it today instead of having to wait til tomorrow, for I live in the UK.

Ok, I finally gave Master of Magic a try from GOG.com, and I'm impressed. Of course, the graphics are oooold, but I remember Civ (1), so I can withstand them ;)

So far, the game is actually quite awesome. Taking a break now, though, due to a crash to desktop after a 20 minute skirmish that I was almost done with. It really needs an autosave. Might watch The Guild again. That show is awesome! It "almost" makes me want to pick up WoW again... almost.[

Killing time before 1.0 release in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Soo..... how is everyone killing the time until the big release? I have BETA 0.98, and so I've a good idea of how awesome Elemental has been shaping up, but I'm really eager for the 1.0v release as the technical side of BETA 0.98 is abit of a hog, plus the pop up prompt describes GUI and feature goodies in 1.0... Anyway, how are you killing the time? And is there a way to get 1.0 early?

Current status and beta? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Hi; I posted a few months ago asking about how if I bought early, would I get into the beta - and from what I got back, I knew at the time it was more alpha than beta version, and feature incomplete, not to mention unbalanced and all that, heh. So, a couple of months have pasted and I was wondering what the current status of the game is, and, more from the beta players, is it any fun yet? [e digicons]^_^[/e]

Reply to Preorder == Beta entry? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Thanks for the further feedback folks. I'll preorder sometime in 2010, I think, when its closer to complete ;)

Reply to Preorder == Beta entry? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Thrawn2787" reply="1" id="2465566"]No, you'll get into the beta when the next beta phase is released (Beta 2, not 1C). Atleast from what I understand rom what I understand, its a cross between Civilization and a fantasty RPG...? Yes, it has a fantasy setting and is a 4X game like Galatic Civ. It also has RPG elements when it comes to your certain units and exploration (dungeons might be explorable in the future)[/quote] <

Reply to Stargate - Universe in Everything Else Elemental Forums

I've watched quite a few episodes so far (I live in the UK and haven't see the whole series yet), and I like it somewhat, BUT the problem I have with it is its too focused on personal relations and there is just too much contact interaction with the civilian people back on Earth for my liking. I tune into stargate for sci, adventure, and humour, not for drama.

Preorder == Beta entry? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Hi folks; I'm a fan of Stardock games, and this one looks right up my alley. I was going to preorder it next month, but if I pre-order it, do I get access to the beta instantly? If so, I'll probably order straight away. From what I understand, its a cross between Civilization and a fantasty RPG...? Either way, it looks like my sort of game (I've got GalCiv's 1/2 and Sins of a Solar Empire, AND Demigod (although I got too much verbal abuse from the troll/know-it-all play

Impulse/Entrenchment download troubles in Technical Sins Forums

Hi, whenever I startup Impulse to try and update my SoaE Entrenchment to the release edition (I have the beta on here), Impulse tries to update itself, but always fails. Without that update, it doesn't want to update anything else. My firewall allows Impulse to pass through it, and so I'm confused as to what is causing it. Should I just download the latest copy of Impulse from the website and reinstall that?

Reply to Neutral Learning - do you? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Really? I find the neural centres help me become the most advanced race in the game very quickly, and I soon have a (although admitly small) fleet of super warships, who's defences and fire power out gun entire enemy fleets. Strangely, I manage to beat the other races after that....although to be fair, I normally only use normal research rate and "tough" difficult, although I'm working to get above that

Neutral Learning - do you? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I'm curious, I find that in a typical game I gravitate towards neural civs so I can get my hands on the Neural research building. Does everyone else or just me? I find having the best research centre's very helpful, and think maybe the neural choice is overpowered.... So, is neural learning too powerful or is it just me?

Reply to Installing V1.4 without the internet? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I had a similar problem; my PC wouldn't connect to the serial register server at the time (a network problem, gone now). Anyway, you go into your GalCiv2 directory and run "activate.exe". There should be an option to use email, follow that, take the text it tells you to email, send it to them (use a USB or floppy disk or something to get it to the laptop). Give them a day or 2, and you'll receive an email with a file attached. Pop that into the GalCiv2 directory and it'll work.

Reply to Upgrading ships system in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

You know, you can just do this anyway, by designing a ship design and then upgrading it, and deleting the others. I know, but its a pain in the butt when you have to do it 20 times.

Upgrading ships system in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I think for the Dark Avatar expansion (or even version 1.4 of GalCivs 2), a new method of ship design should be used. At the moment, I end up with upto 10 versions of the same ship with upgraded weapons. However, when I start a new game, I generally like to change the lot out to match my circumstances. Therefore, the 10 designs in my list become junk. What would be nice is if you could have one central design (without the functional components), and a version number for each generation of the sh
