FishSlayer - You do realize that with version 1.1 they are removing the link between Food & Caravans. This strategy will be DOA. Not picking on you personally, I think we'll all have plenty of rethinking to do given all the changes being made. Back to square one everybody!

Now there's 2 guys who know how to talk without saying anything. Sounds like you missed a substantial portion of the point. Is the point that there is no point? Because if so, I can relate. Apparently, there is also no spoon, and a sh
[quote who="Istari" reply="4" id="2802649"] Quoting Gazz_, reply 3 Quoting Istari, reply 1 Nice interview, except that they talked a lot without actually saying anything. That's Kael deftly avoiding to insert his foot into his mouth. It's way too early to expect any specific promises or even hints at features to come. He'll still be analysing and planning. No! If I expect the Kael to know everythin

I've always loved the CIV series and FFH2 certainly scratched my Fantasy itch. So, welcome aboard Kael. Best of luck and try not to step in the Troll doo!

I for one find the current AI particularly inept at city placement, or should I say "spam happy". I don't hesitate to raze a city with -11 food, 1 gold, 1 tech research, and 1 arcane research. My rule of thumb is, if I wouldn't build a city there & it doesn't have any other redeming qualities, burn baby burn.
Yigor - I don't believe it was your post that was the problem. Unfortunately it attracted at least one reponse that Brad found offensive (rightly so). I guess they just threw the baby out with the bathwater. Also please remember that freedom of speech is a wonderful concept, but when you're using someone else's dime, they get to have the final say as to what people see.

Lord Xia - Great reply to a #&&%!@@ post! Karma for you!
Go to Dev Journals on Home page. BoogieBac posted it.
You might have to wait awile but Brad did promise to reissue the Gold DVD later this fall. See item #4 in his Aug 29th post. https://forums.elementalgame.com/394104
Maybe they could put in a "Monster respawn rate" slider in gameplay options like the Tactical battle slider.

To RavenFirecaster: I haven't seen that happen, but I keep my Tact-Battle slider set on zero. Have you tried that?
Tactical battles is a setting. Select "Options" from Main Menu at start-up ("Esc" key in-game also brings up "Options" screen). Look on right hand side of Gameplay Tab. 4th selection down is slider for Tact-Battle Threshold. Lower the # for more tactital battles.
Funny, well written, and makes a point. You deserve some good Karma!!!
This is the game we've been waiting for for way too long, but we know it's safe in your hands. Those of us who witnessed the passion and B,S&T's that you and your team gave to Gal Civ II could never doubt that you have our best interests at heart. We may be fanatics, but we're your fanatics.
Frogboy - Don't worry, the Beta isn't fun. What you're seeing is the result of an endorphin rush caused by getting so close to a MOM-like experience.
I like to get all 3 quest slots filled with damsels or knights that can't be gotten rid of. I then head for the nearest Troll. Their deaths at his hands is very sad. Oh yes, my sov lives to fight another day.
