Just continued my save game and played 2 hours without crashes. So, I think you improved quite well and the game is quite fun.
I appreciate that you want to change some game concepts, but in my opinion it'd be better to really hunt down every small bug and to polish the ui so one can use the concepts that are alreadyl there in the best way.
Some Bugs:
- Bought a traveller's coat for my daughter. She got it on the picture, but she hadn't equipt it nor was I able to equip it because one could not see it in the inventory (but in the one you see in the shop)
- my cities lost population capacity (dropped down from 325 to 300 in 1-2 cities)
- found a magic book on a quest that hadn't any spells in it
Some suggestions for easy improvements
- show all resources that a city produces, I think if the sum is 0 you hide them?
- I need screens for: my trade, my wild resources, my cities, my heroes, my arranged marriages...
- I want to turn off the troop design of the pc
- I want to set the amount of resources etc. at game start (and everything else the forum folk has different opinion about)
- You really need to improve the ai (don't leave cities undefended especially at the beginning)
- The good people need good guys for spawned troops
Concepts:
- more interesting tactical combat
- more differentiation in races/factions
- better atmosphere in the role playing elements.
So, when is 1.09 ready?
