So far I have played about 15 games of this version, and in all but one (possibly two), the empires and kingdoms never build a single building, they just sit and wait there for me to attack them in their default starting state. Is this a known issue with this beta version?

Yes, thank you all was talking about creating my own faction. It is interesting - Blaze of Glory - that you don't have any problems recruiting. I was starting to wonder why you would want a charisma rating any higher than 5 because other champions are so rare you don't have to worry about ever recruiting any....

In a game I just played I waited until a little bit later to research adventuring, and I swear the quest density was 2 or 3 times that in the screenshot. It was so packed, there were usually 6, 7, 8 quest locations all touching one another because there was no room to spread it out. http://image.bayimg.com/oandfaack.jpg That is also a consideration, I don't want to level up my quests research until I have my

How do I directly link to the file? OR should I enter the dev's email into the dropbox shared info? This is all of the dumps the latest ending in -372 is the probably the one for the crash when trying to load a saved game.

[quote who="Reianor3" reply="13" id="2679891"]Err... I now share the common disappointment about magic system... more on that separately. Socketboy, most of what you are asking is interface issue, not the magic itself. Also... building a character for certain schools isn't THAT much of a gamble. Books can be researched (although that is somewhat a gamble) and shards can be found later. On top of that there are spells that need no shards and even schools without shards as

Agreed, I have a hard time leveling up my cities with empires. Also, I am fairly new to this, is there some screen with a description of the differences in the factions? On the selection screen, it looks like it is just their history. Also I saw a poll on this forum about your favorite, and most people voted for the one they make themselves, is that disabled in this beta?

Yes they do, and you can't have a new turn while this is going on. I have seen that happen a few times, but in the cases I was talking about, it went on for far too long for that to be the case... I think. Unless both monsters had a ton of health.

OK sorry let me update again, yes now it does work when go to the edge of the screen. It didn't give a message to restart the game for that to be enabled, but looks like that is all it took. So I guess add a message that you have to restart before it takes effect. EDIT And yes, I do have to say it crashed again when I alt-tabbed to type this message. I think it said, DX error: I

I'm sorry what setting is it? Is it that "clip cursor in windowed" or something? That is the only one I saw that looked like it, and it didn't work... I accidentally clicked outside of the window on my other monitor, and when I tried to go back to the now minimized game, it crashed.

I just started playing this beta yesterday, and I have to agree the magic system is clunky. So far I have used it very little (summoned one thing) because of it's inaccessibility. First in my mind is the organization, it seems somewhat random and cluttered - all of the spells. I would like to see them more clearly organized, maybe give the option to organize by spell level to see all of the new spells

This has happened to me several times while playing so far, and I just quit the game and re-started a new one. I am wondering if it is extreme lag however, because another time when I thought it was going to happen to me again, I ended up doing something for a few minutes, and when I cam back to the game, it was working again. I have had several instances of super lag, especially when combining stacks of units, and then even a game crash when I sent a stac
