I didn't come to any conclusion, bro. I simply raised the question. And FYI, this was about the 12th game I've started since the Day 0 patch, bro, and the first with that kind of start.
I'll highlight the parts:
I started a new game tonight on normal/normal difficulty. In the immediate vicinity of where my Sovereign started were the following:
5 Lost Libraries
4 Midnite Stones (from goodie huts)
2 Patches of Fertile Ground
1 Gold deposit
1 Stone Deposit
I'm still waiting for the partridge in the pear tree.
All of this before I researched my first Adventure tech. No one is this lucky. Could it be a bug/balance issue?
No one is this lucky? People win lotteries every week, you know the probability of any specific person winning a lottery? It's different for each one, but it isn't very probable.
Yes, it could be a bug introduced in 1.06 and you could end up being correct in your assessment, but do some basic tests before posting on the forums about your ONE game in TWELVE. It was the first game you started after this patch, right? You speculate about 1.06 being bugged, so start more games and test it. Games played in earlier patches are irrelevant because in your opinion the bug started in 1.06.
