Bug.. and also a request dating back to..well ages ago.

from Elemental Forums

First of all, the bug: I have been able to recruit Listrid twice in the same game. Actually, i HAVE recruited Listrid twice and stationed her (them) in the same city.

 

Then the request: I'd like to see a popup when an enemy curses one of my cities. It's really annoying, especially when you have more than one city to continuously scroll through my cities to see if any city's been cursed. It would also help if you could make the info about the curse on the city more readily available in the city-screen. It can't be considered effective by anyone to have the player have to float the cursor over every stat that might be affected by a curse!?

 

To be honest I don't expect any changes/fixes since I've posted about curses before, and not being a regular poster I seem to matter little to the powers that be. Maybe someone with more umpf could repost this? ;)

You can't have this because there just weren't instant messages back in the fantasy days. :_) Even Gandalf and Sauraman had to use pigeon carriors or some other form of flight to deliever messages. Could take days/Weeks even. So if you want to know about your "empire" then you'll just have to scroll around with your all seeing eye crystal ball on each of them to find out. hehe

Your attempt at humor fell flat on it's face. Furthermore, this is a serious issue that I've raised, and as such no place for your kind of comments.. but hey, maybe that's just me having a bad day?!

It's definitely you.  Though there's nothing wrong with your suggestion, and likely someone from Stardock will review it, the devs have their own priorities and their own vision and they rarely (except for Frogboy) explain why they do stuff.  So it's best to approach this stuff with a sense of humor and realize that it is still, after all this time, just a game.
