Elemental: War of Magic Message Board  

I just downloaded and tried the new trainer (downloaded 9:30 AM Pacific time on Monday) and mana still doesn't seem to work and the game crashed after trying to use the mana option and then advancing a turn in the game.

I do want to say that, despite occasional trainer hiccups, you guys do a great job here.

Food option crash game to desktop after clicking end turn while the option is enabled.

Funny, just tested food option on a new game and it worked. On my loaded game with 6 food it crashed to desktop.

Further testing the food option doesn't actually work. On a new game it gives you 9999.0 food per turn on your next turn. Disable food option and the next turn your food goes back to it original state. Just wonder if you could change the food option to give you a certain amount of food instead of food per turn?

Actually that wouldn't work for food. The game doesn't store food. So if you have an food production of 12 per turn you don't build up any food storage. Food is a use it or lose it supply.

So you need to keep the trainer on all the time or at least turn it on when you want to build any buildings that need food.

i am confused. there is an indicator at the TOP of the screen showing the FOOD. it shows GOLD and METAL, etc.

this sets it to 9999. is there some other spot that shows a different food amount? the option works just like all the other resources options.

perhaps i am missing something?

best,
Cal

Well, as Devest says, it's a use-it-or-lose-it deal. The counter just shows the current food production for the currently selected city. Only useful for increasing population, nothing else.

I seen my food amount rise before in game but it was only for a turn or two. Think my food stock was at 8 with a food per turn earning of 8.6 and a next turn I noticed it shot up to 12 while still at the same rate. I am guessing if you have a higher amount of farms or oasis compare to settlements your food stock will rise.
As for having food option on only when you need to build houses as soon as you turn it back off your food stock goes into the minus number (eg. food stock was showing -13). Anyway, the food option seem to crash the game at some point so I rather not use it without a saved first.
