So outside of some UI issues, what do you think?  Seems pretty close to enjoyable enough to purchase outright at this point.  Or do you think it still have some big holes to fill before release?  What do you think are the main issues?  Things to be fixed/added?

I've enjoyed many of your Let's Plays of EUIII and others...  keep it up!  Or was it distant stars???

As Sean said this game is already very good. I'm enjoying it a lot. My current game has ended up one-sided but still a lot of fun.

The other videos were mainly Distant Worlds (also a great game). And I just did a Crusader Kings 2 a week or so back.

Das123 has such a great narrating voice. I keep waiting for him to say during a battle, "That's not a knife..."  

Regarding the end of episode 16 Freeze that enemy stack in place with Freeze or Tremor spell till you can get reinforcments to your captial. and if yoy htink it might make a difference rush build to finish that shield bearer in your capital

Bump so I canfind this to continue watching =D

I think the first 5 units (or most powerful 5 units) shouldn't cost maintenance.

This would encourage early strong play, on a limited scale, which is both a natural counter and healthy alternative to zombie spam.

Otherwise the only way to stay at 0 taxes and have a decent military is zombie spam.

With the 5 free units, you both encourage a starting party of 5 decent units so that you can start leveling your Champion or Sovereign, but also you allow yourself enough power to counter those that still zombie spam.

For beginning weapons, I'd say Club (2 attack) 10 hammers. Slingshot (1 attack) 15 hammers. and Stone Axe (4 attack +1 crit) 18 hammers.

Then at Standing Armies tech, you can get spear (5 attack) 15 hammers. Staff (3 attack) 10 hammers. and Shield (2 defense) 10 hammers.

-> you should be able to equip spear with shield, at a loss of 1 attack.

I like that suggestion a lot Tasunke. Would be worth making a suggestion thread if you haven't already.

As far as starting again, I would have done it if I wasn't making a video but to be honest I was wanting to see what we would need to do to prevail. And if I got creamed at least the series would be a short one.

Also in your next game i would sugest puting out posts around your citys to have greater response time basicaly now you only have 2 or 3turns notice to get reniforcments to your citys when you spot the enemy with outposts farther out you would have doudle the time to respond

And here, finally, is the last episode. Phew.

Hope you enjoyed them. Was certainly a lot longer than I had anticipated.
