Really? You think that's gong to get you anywhere.. Wait for a patch like the rest of us.

For myself, I am going to step away from the game for a bit. The crashes and memory leaks and stacks being reduced to a single unit just take the fun out of everything. I think I am going to stop pissing myself off by trying to play right now.

Hopefully there are a couple heavy duty patches coming.

Yeah, I bet that's what happened to all of the reviewers too

Me too Fatbil, I still have every bit of confidence that this game will one day ROCK. Just not anywhere in the immediate future.... :(

What rig are you using? I dont seem to have that many problems... apart from a few general ingame bugs, my memory usage and stability are ok, had one crash in eight or nine hours of gameplay.

The item is no longer listed, but it shows similar items as EEE PCs. So you are playing on an entry-level netbook?

Umm - it's been the weekend and quite clear from Stardock posts here that everyone is taking a much needed rest to come in today and start squashing the bugs.  It also takes time to develop a fix and test it - nothing worse than too much haste on a patch.

Look, I am sympathetic to the developers who have slaved away. But, who is the dipshit that let this project release without at least a stable build... And I am on an Asus gaming laptop, not a netbook...

Well..... During the Beta the testers were continually saying that the game was no way near ready to ship. But the developers were convinced that it was. They kept insisting they had extra content built that wasn't in the Beta. There has obviously been a big stuff up. I feel bad for Stardock, this is not going to win any good scores from the reviewers. They've said they will spend the next 12 months or so working on it which is great but people paid for a playable game NOW not to get something is essentially still a Beta.

Some of my thoughts so far

- the tactical combat is boring and incomplete (MoM was more fun) It feels more like a party adventure game than an epic strategy

- spell research is linear and disappointing - you get the same spells from every school every game. I really think they should have adopted MoM's magic system which had 5 specialised and unique schools that you could either invest heavily in 1 or lightly in multiple books (jack of all trades)

- unit design is poorly implemented. Stats are linear, items just get higher in stats. It feels very much like Galciv 1 not a rock-paper-scissors system
