Reply to Anyone else wish you could combine Elemental and Civ5? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

More than once in Civ I've wished I could get rid of a pesky mountain and go looking for my sovereign. Besides that, the unit movement in Civ V is driving me insane. I get not wanting to create stacks of doom, but I should be able to click my catapult, some horse archers, and a few swordsmen from my territory and specify how I want them to land in formation on the other side of the continent. As it is because of turn order my catapult will run into my horses or the en

Reply to Quest progress in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I've found the quests have gotten in the way of my playing the game. I get too frustrated with huts not giving quests and not disappearing and chains getting lost. Thankfully there's a toggle when you launch a new game so I've just been turning them off. I hope they get fixed up soon. The idea is great.

I bought Elemental as a pre-order ages ago. Short of downloading it during the beta and giving it a five minute "Oooh, this has potential" look I really didn't do anything with it until yesterday. And it's the most fun I've had in ages!!! I don't understand what the fuss is about. The game is a load of fun. There are a few issues, but on something as complex as this there are bound to be some, just like there are when any other complex game gets released.

Reply to [Feature request] City Management in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I find that I easily lose track of which city is which on the left side when I'm going through them one by one, and it is very cumbersome to do more than every few turns. I find I just have to keep looking at the build complete warnings on the right side of the screen and just not queue anything up so when a city shows up there I issue a new build order. A quick list of cities with what buildings and units they're producing would take a lot of the pain out of city management. &n

It's there. I'm a little confused about the colony governors though. Is there a way to view or set them without having to click on each planet and go under Details?

Mass-buying improvements and ships in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Just wondering if there is a way to rush buy improvements/ships at multiple colonies at the same time. I would love to be able to shift- or control- click to select a group of colonies and click buy once instead of individually bringing up a purchase dialogue for each one. Am I missing something? Is it possible?

Reply to [stardock] So I made a mistake... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Rifty, did you do a clean install and then install GalCiv2, or did you upgrade XP to vista without a clean install? If so, you should just have to delete the sig.bin file so that Stardock Central can re-activate GalCiv2. I tried both ways. But there was an error with my ability to activate. Support was able to help me get back up to playing again this morning. Again, not a huge deal but it did shock me that it became an issue at all.

The only thing that you need is to delete the sig.bin file and launch the activation process only once per PC or laptop. You don't have any restriction about of number of time or the number of computers you can do that except that you can't play simultaneously the game on 2 different computers at the same time. It is hardly DRM. That's what I thought too. But since Sunday when I "upgraded" to Windows Vista I haven't been able to play the game I legally
