I think there would be interest. People would be interested in stronger AI's for their own games, or AI's that are best suited to the type of game they want. The only question is who would design those AI's?

Why is it air elementals are only summonable via scroll, but fire/earth are lvl 4 summons, water is lvl 3. I think it should be universal lvl 4 summons. (water elemental would need to be buffed slightly) Overall, there is a need for a few more spells in the elemental schools 2 Spells for each as an idea Air: Summon Air Elemental- level 4 Suffocation- lvl 2 air spell, does damage e

Been playing this game, but trying to figure out how to make retinues larger- this game isn't documented well at all.

In the first game he dual wielded and attacked super fast, had like 10 attacks a turn, but the combat was a lot different in that game. He was my favorite character in the book.

I'm wondering if the separate phases for monsters and players is borked beyond just wildlands. I had it happen with some random monsters.

1.1 helps, but I don't think it finishes the job (the job is never finished) What I think is needed - Quick Combat/Tactical combat need to approximate each other in results more - Wildlands need tweaking - Some things are critically/comically underpowered, and need to be made useful (Knights of Asok/other recruitable monsters, wonders, some other things)

This wouldn't be from 1.1, but from earlier if this is right: Earlier you changed things so monsters move in their own phase to prevent monsters/players from entering the same square at the same time and not having combat. Did you do this for wildland denizens as well? It looks like you didn't, because earlier today, I had this happen repeatedly.

The penalties for losing are much higher in other genres. In a TBS, bad end= start a new game. In an MMO, you lose time. In a fighting game, you have to hold the L. This is a big reason why changes aren't as complained about- you don't have to worry about the competitive side in single-player games. Put multi in a Stardock game and things might change if the multi becomes popular enough.

[quote who="Magog_AoW" reply="11" id="3291443"]How do you guys at Stardock find these obscure review websites?[/quote] When you have a good game, and the mainstream sites are too busy to cover your game, you gotta go looking. Also, the reviews are important in restoring Stardock's reputation after WOM. It's not a conspiracy against Stardock, this is just the busy time of the year for reviewers.

[quote who="Tasunke" reply="182" id="3288002"] Quoting Alstein, reply 176Life without parole is more inhumane than the death penalty. Dying in prison after 50-60 years , it's less cruel just to shoot or hang the guy. (I'd replace the chair/injection with shooting and hanging, which is less cruel, but shooting would be reserved for ex-military who served honorably) Makes sense. Are bullets more expensive than rope btw? Or is

The genre tends to attract more mature posters, a smaller forum attracts fewer trolls, and most of your long-time customers, who tend to make the bulk of a long-time forum, have been well-satisfied over the years. Also, your detractors have their own personal forum, so those folks go there and not here. ^_^

An 8 is a fair score- if you view this as a reboot. As a sequel, I would be harsher. This game has a great formula, but it's incomplete with some rough spots, and it would probably need 2 sequels to reach its potential.
