I love your let's play vids.

Nice series das, its a shame my patience died some time ago, but really enjoying seeing the first 45 minutes of the show. I hope you get to show off some awesome stuff, get some vids of bugs , and have a good time doing them

Are you sure? Altar demanded that I pay them tribute while Magnar offered to pay me tribute. My assumption is that they are paying me. The description is the same for both (which is quite confusing) but I thought it was a way for the weaker empires to ensure their safety.

Well you can double check by either hovering over your income if the list isn't too long or by looking at the diplomacy screen I think. Maybe they fixed it in this version but that happened to me in the first ever game I played. He gave me a huge amount like 700 gildar but then I realized I was giving him 20% of my income or something like that.

Hi Das123, I finally wanted to thank you for your Let's Plays. They are the reason why I joined up during Beta 3 and see the changes made since WoM for myself. I still can't believe, that I'm getting this game for free.

Also, I agree with UmbralAngel. Magnar scammed you.

Norse: I just think das would want to start with some basic kind of useless armor, and some proper starting weapons (The club is so useless IMO)

By the way, in my own playing around I've figured out why the AI only moves one square in tactical combat some times (apologies if you figured this out in the later videos, I haven't watched the last two yet).

The AI clearly wants to get in the first attack.  If it can move further than your units, it will inch up towards you one space at a time until on the next move it can reach you, but you can't reach it.  That way, it gets in the first hit.  I experimented around by moving forwards and backwards, and it seems pretty clear that's what the AI is thinking.

Now, unfortunately for the AI, it seems to ignore the fact that you may have ranged weapons, and it still does this silly little dance.  When under ranged fire, it just needs to be taught to charge ahead full steam.

Hey Das, have you checked the faction ledger?  I may be wrong in this but I could have sworn you can go into the ledger and in the ledger it lists all the spells that you have available that are currently in effect, either on units and on cities.  From there you can cancel them.  It has all the spells listed that are in effect and right next to them are little check mark boxes you can click. 

*  Oops, never mind.  You figured it out later on.  Ha, I was siting there saying out loud, "Come on... check your ledger!  Come on.... just... click... ledger... "  Oh well, at least you now know.  They should fix it to where it is easier to figure out and change enchantments. 

Beta 4 A coming out and I don't know if you are continuing, but you was about to declare a war that could be interesting. If you start a new one I'd hope you'd want to choose hard or expert difficulty (one or two levels up). You are getting so good at this game now, and it's no way you can lose this current game on challenging. After you kill Altar there will be nobody to challenge you. It would be even more thrilling to watch if you risked to lose big time, and needed to be very carefull with everything you did.

Edit: Of course AI will improve as well for Beta 4A it seems, but please try one step up at least (next game). It will be so fun to see you struggle even harder to survive.

Gravehands is a beast with his war party.

One more please, and one difficulty up, and a few more opponents on a huger map. That would be exciting and nail biting indeed!
