I played the first time for month and would like to share my impressions. First of all here's the link to the debug.err: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6141154/2011_03_11_debug.err There was no dump for I had to kill the process while I couldn't do anything else anymore after hitting end turn on turn ~200. On the desktop there was the OOM-InfoWindow. Perhaps it had something to do with the jre-update checker that ran in the background. However, I played a small map with ~3 opponents on a quite modern machine and could only play for 3 hours. That's still far from good!
On the other side I have to say, that the overall impression of the game is much better than 1.1 or 1.09. Here is a list of things I still don't like (apart from the oom issues).
1. Mixing of messages (something I complain about since the first betas): Please control the UI in a way that the player gets the different messages one at a time and the ones that belong together after another).
2. In tactical combat it still happenes that the hits don't show as numbers floating from the figueres
3. After some turns the time to get from one screen to another (map to overview e.g.) gets longer and longer.
4. In one turn there were pictures of some units missing in the little icons of a stack. In the next turn, they reappeared.
5. I think after researching fertility the spell that does +1 prestige on a city suddenly was called fertility, too.
6. The text for ventri mine reads "Learn harvesting to build a mine..." so I thought I still had to learn harvesting. Only some turns later I realized I already did that...Please change it to the text most of the other places have.
7. I don't like the global population pool. With mana it's okay, but how do the people get from one city to another to work there?
That's it for now.
