Elemental: War of Magic 1.3 Released!

Published on July 27, 2011 By Island Dog In Elemental News

Stardock is excited to announce the release of the v1.3 update for Elemental: War of Magic. Current customers can update to the latest version via Impulse, and this update includes a variety of updated features and fixes.

Full changelog is available here, but here are some highlights:

Economy tweaked and fix for out of control population
AI more reactive about updating strategy when a target city has been conquered / destroyed
Janusk has been removed. Goodbye old friend. See you in the Fallen Enchantress tutorial...
Modders can set the base cost of repeatable improvements in the appropriate .xml file
Special buildings now longer required to build special units. Instead, these buildings provide bonuses
Notable locations may now be explored regardless of your level.
New notable locations added to provide weapons, armor, and other "stuff"

Magog, chill. First and foremost....my sovereign needs a wife in every town. My sovereign makes a lot of towns too. And changing the world isn't an easy task. He needs to be....re-energized....frequently.

What does 'Economy tweaked and fix for out of control population' mean exactly? Is it still crippled for too many cities or is this fixed?

Hi, thanks for your work on 1.3. Looking good, but a question and a bug..

How come I can't zoom in to ground level any more?

The game froze on Winter 164, when I clicked Next Turn.

Oh and is there a way to rotate the camera?

RE zoom: i had to re-click (or unclick) the zoom limit function in game options.

I also have CTD issues more now than before. In fact, the frequency of that has increased with each new version/update. I'm not sure why this is. It would be nice if a list of compatible drivers was made available for our troubleshooting efforts.

Aside from this game, I also have had GuildWars since its release (never crashed), Civ V (never crashed using dx11 settings on huge maps), and GalCivII (never crashed).

Me confused.

Check your game settings. They added a limiter option for zooming in that is on by default.

Many thanks ael

Yes, it is confusing that crashes are so common, at this late stage (or should that be early..) of development. Ah well, time will tell...

Brad removed them. I think it was because of memory issues.
