Nice to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Or possibly, "I'll make a note of this, and come back later."

 
I liek the "my army is medium, the quet is medium ok seems fine " fight loads, enemy casts a spell  - bang all my army dead .... yeah..."

It depends on the quest. Some quest lallow you to return to a location later, some do not.

It's not about the Giant spider attacking the village, it's about the dark cave mouth in the wilderness that just isn't there when you come back a day later.

Poor soul says: "Sir, sir!  A giant spider is attacking our village!  We're being killed!"

Button6 says: "I'll make a note of this and come back later.

I say: "I'll make a note of this and come later to loot the bodies"

I really hope quests become redoable, it might not be realistic, but will be much nicer to play through in the game, or hell just spawn new ones from time to time and let all the really difficult ones be gone for the first half of the game.

Agreed entirely, in my current game while traveling I accidentally stopped a hero on a Deadly Quest. He wasn't in any condition to try the quest on his own and so of course it disappeared when I said I wasn't ready to do it. These sorts of things feel more like bugs than features (even if it is actually meant as a feature by Stardock).

I agree that this is pretty stupid. They should really change this. For me I just avoid the quest areas because of this. Kinda kills the fun.

 

I like the idea of every tile moved by a champion having a very small chance of triggering the generation of an appropriately leveled quest nearby.  A faction trait perhaps.[/quote]

There is the wanderlust trait, which lets you buy quest maps in the store.  Plus it would be great if each hero in the game could occasionally spawn a quest for you:

 Heck, you could use such mechanisms to unlock whole new areas of a map or a unique recruitable unit(s) or even minor faction:

  A hero tells you of a hidden pass that leads to a fertile valley and the land of his awesome mounted archers of unerring accuracy.  You then gain an opportunity to hire said units, trade for their bows or specially trained mounts, send a child to marry their ruler's offspring and seal them to you or even have it your forces are the tilting point that lets the exiled ruler (your hero NPC) retake his birthright and become a permanent vassal/ally.

These quests could make every phase of the game more exciting.  Some could be triggered as you meet certain factions:

"Watch yer back with them Umber scum... they turned on my former liege after signing a bloodtruce."  etc...

A lot of litter... um... I mean content, helps keep the sandbox fresh.
