I put suggestions on a separate post :
Suggestions : Auto-explore Unit Representation : link link Daily Report Interface Apply button for graphical options Stacked Unit Removal Shader/detail texture for the cloth map Make UI elements more clear Only allowed one ring per unit Buttons/Shortcuts Raw mana shards More guarded loot Scouts should pick up treasure Trees/Mountains reduce line of sight Remove Buildings Improved Tile Notification Tiles vs. Squares and City Planning Symbol for attack value Make the fore/back choice buttons have a drop down Animation or progress bar during world creation. Don't let me end my turn without researching something Idea for improving building selection menu Magic fountain Camera Control Change the Skirmish text to Custom Game Highlighting or outlining of map tile under the cursor Change mouse cursor Show Net income behind the treasury amount. Autoexplore/Auto End Turn improved scrolling with multiple monitors Gold for buildings to be debited when placed, not when completed Keybinds and map control Cloth map display options. Remind me of not-moved units before end of turn Unit Movement do not Auto-move new unit healing Items are difficult to use Different ways to acquire experience auto move at the end of the turn Improve map movement/ draw path Cloth Map Enhancements Pop-up when you finished to develop a tech Initial achievement in each tech could be ommited Tarth starting position all choice menus should be pull down and not just left right arrows for change How we select units. Athos as a faction name may be offensive Make Interface more like Civ IV where possible "Invisible" Roads Optional Clock revise the "available improvements" list Move world name at world creation improve the built-in units Make the ocean blue don't allow building to be constructed if the cursor is not over an available tile Choose Stats when leveling Mulitples suggestions : link link link link link link Help fo newcomers ( I haven't even begun to play ) link
Good idea alpha666
So far I've experianced only bugs that have already been listed. My first impressions of the game is that, even in this early stage, it's a lot of fun
sticky!
update to 2009/09/19 13h22 GMT
-- I can begin to play now /swt
Karma for you, thank you.
Sammual
I have to say, I nagged people but put no effort in, +1.
Could we have this thread stickied, please? It seems like a really good idea to have a central clearinghouse for all bug reports.
Thanks for this, it's a really good list! Answered one of my questions too <.< lol
A suggestion: put the main problems that lots of people have at the top of the list, with good descriptions. These would be the crash at title screen bug (with a link to a solution that sorta works here), alt-tabbing doesn't work, loading games doesn't work, starting a new game after a game has already been started in the same run doesn't work... etc. Putting it in a big font would also help.
Optimize the common case, I always say!
Also, turning the text links into actual links would make it neater and easier than seeing a bunch of "https://forums.elementalgame.com/" listings.
I second that (as well as the rest of your post). Copy/pasting those is a real pain.
I'll be putting together the official one starting Monday.
allright, i'll do a last update tomorrow morning
EDIT: updated, normally, next comes official thread
EDIT: don't have time to put everything with link ( sorry), will do this later ...
By the way when will there be a working search function for the forums?
I mean one where could limit teh search to some areas of the forum (like the Beta area).
TY for all your efforts!!
Thanks for the updates...
You beat me to it - nice post!
Once again, good job. (Totally not a bump in disguise, honest).
updates!
Hum, how to make a link with code on this forum : [link] does not seems to works.
... and don't suggest I use the link button on 500 links ... I won't do it!
Copy the HTML into some other program that lets you add tags quickly, then paste back.
I'm supremely happy that someone has decided to do this besides myself. If you want or need any help Alpha, PM me. I may have done this before.

I make a copy of sugestion list in Elemental Idea forum!
The official reports roundup is now available at elemental.kryofx.com.
