So, awhile ago I sent an email to the Stardock support system asking about my missing free copy of Fallen Enchantress (preordered Elemental, got email from Brad about free copy, don't have my free copy).

debug.err = http://pastebin.com/v6mYYuQk Just got into the beta recently, did a fresh install of Elemental and then FE. Here's what my world looks like.... I promise you this isn't drawn with MSPaint although it looks like it :)

It's probably been brought up, but how about more stats like disconnects instead of win-loss ratio? And clearly quiting the game should count as a disconnect and have some affect on their stats. Seeing people with 200 wins and 0 losses is a bit crap considering they can't just quit to never take a lose.

Actually just had some luck with Subversion on the Marauder. I was playing a game where someone was attacking a teamate, but I really couldn't help in many ways because I was defending myself....but I didn't need my Marauder I made so I ran him over to the production planet of his foe. Let's just say it reaaaaally pissed him off when I subverted 2 planets with 2 factories each ;) Granted, I likely would have lost if I fought him but it at least "played dirty" like you all s

So what you're saying is that to win, you need to be better in nothing that's based on the actual race. So if two players of equal value play, and one is a Vesari, you're screwed :P

As a relatively new player to the game, I've seen all the rushes and different strategies but very little from the Vasari that seems effective. My friends like to particularly play the Adv/Tec because "Vasari sucks" and despite that I try to play the underdog constantly...and I pay for it with a horrible record. Is there some focus I'm missing that I should cater to? I've been trying to do early starbases and such but without much luck....and all the little ships seem to lose 1on1 to

If you play in a window and pull something over the game it repeats and creates all kinds of weirdness. This is an IM window from Trillian I dragged over the game and as you can see it repeated the IM window a bunch of times on resizing and then did a black brush when I dragged it around. The game fixes if I bring it back to the front. If needed I can give my dxdiag output. <img style="vertical-align: baseline;" src="http://content.screencast.com/u

Not really a beta problem per-say, but in light of that thread about how the Yor super ability is too strong....kinda yeah, if you go all influence If you can't beat them, join um! I just pulled a "microsoft" strategy of evil influence take-over and I kid you not, I beat a medium map, with 9 opponents on Tough....and the military screen? 0 ships destroyed - no one even made it to war because they were so

Also, something to note Frog is that the +speed racial trait is super expensive...but has little meaning when ships fly at 40 a turn. If stuff was capped at 6-8, that'd make it that much more important.

I'm the Krynn, about to dominate a Drengin planet who is being harassed by other race spies (not mine). I culturally takeover the planet, but the spies stay there despite my Super Spy ability - better yet, I can't counter them. They don't show up in Active Spy lists, but they're affecting those tiles...so I can't get rid of them, even though they're screwing with my new planet :-/ -Sand

Nope, nothing at all running. And if I had just lost focus, I would have been able to alt-tab, cntrl-alt-delete, windows-key.....but nothing worked at all because my system had completely locked up

Just installed beta1a and began playing a game....and I got the weirdest error. I had my game playing, went to the planet screen and my cursor changed to normal and nothing worked anywhere I clicked....game music still was going, but I couldn't do anything. I couldn't alt-tab, bring up task manager - nothing. Had to reboot my entire machine. Here's the debug.err although it doesn't look so special considering the game never closed since I was forced to reboot. Debug Message: Version be

Anyone else getting a super slow technical screen? On my laptop the game runs fine, but on my main machine, the technical screen is incredibly slow. The rest of the game runs fine (albeit a little slowness on the main screen), but nothing like the tech screen. I've only ran Dark Avatar on my main computer, so not sure if it's a specific incident - anyone else getting this? It's not like there's much to see on the tech screen...

Yeah, let's say I start sending all my spies on the Drengin - they should retreat and defend against mine, instead of leaving theirs elsewhere. Super Spy does seem to work a little, even though you don't get one spy in the beginning but in 4 games I've never had a spy against me.

After playing a few full games (Tiny@Tough/9 opp/all-green options) as the new Spy race, I think I've got a few things that might be worth reading 1. The computer really isn't good at defending against spies. In the first few turns of the game where you see "Someone has built a X capitol!", it's like a red target to shut that thing down. I've *completely* shutdown computer opponents by disabling

Anyone know if you can upgrade your Flagship? I've tried every type of design (small/tiny/medium/large/massive) and it won't let me upgrade it. It sucks, because the ship has great experience from finding anomalies that raise experience...

Good strategy, but I think it needs to be said.... Evil = Influence Wins When you have 6-7 planets pumping out constructors, and starbase upgrades don't cost anything, the pure amount of influence you can shell out is pretty sick. Last game I had roughly 20 constructors coming out every 7-8 turns and completely took over a civilization in about 50 turns after that - never underestimate the power of rushing influence around their worlds because with their approval so low, they c

I understand that, but your civilization may be "Evil" ala the choice with Xeno Ethics. But what happens if later you make all good choices, does your race repent or do you auto switch later? I choose good once for 10,000 bc since I had made some evil choices, and I kept making them later with no real problem...my question is why cant my civ change to evil later after the initial choice?
