[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="8" id="3261179"]I'm not viewing Windows 8 as a Windows 7 replacement. Not even as a tool or a useable OS. I see it as a toy. And I got it for 15 bux....so I'll use it to familiarize myself with the OS for the upcoming repair jobs I'll be getting...hehe.[/quote] I view it as an upcoming learning experience for MS.

Percent has a different meaning than percent point. The UI's tooltips often uses the symbol % to incorrectly indicate pp. This is especially confusing because typically games will include a mix of pp and % yet call them both % as if they are the same thing. Granted pp is not a well known symbol so I would suggest using "%p" with a hiergamenon entry clarifying. (even though the official recognize symbol for percentage point is pp and %p is not) For example

[quote who="Sarudak" reply="1" id="3256983"]This is a feature. It was listed in the change logs. Keep in mind you are playing a game not a sandbox...[/quote] Removing a feature and calling it a feature does not a feature make. And I want to play the game as a sandbox, why am I not allowed? (only reason really for me to do so is the lack of a "just one more turn" when you win)
1. Sandbox is no longer allowed (I can no longer disable conquest victory!) while "just one more turn" is still not available after winning a non sandbox game. 2. The description for Enchanters faction trait does not specify it grants access to scrying pools 3. I attacked a bandit camp that granted me a scroll of fireball when I won it. I did not have such a scroll before attacking them. During the fight against them, the scroll of fireball (which I did not yet have) appeared

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="357" id="3253489"]Caravan routes of two AI nations should NOT be allowed to choose a route that crosses through your territory. That's absurd.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="84" id="3251026"]Certainly the conditions on the ground at the time help determine the decision tree CEOs have. As a capitalist pig, I am very much against the government taking the position "at a certain point, you've made enough money." But as a private citizen, I certainly feel that way personally - I work for "free" at Stardock (i.e. I don't take a salary, dividends or disbursements) other than health insurance.

Rather then lower cost for raise/lower it should be made more reliable. I cast it repeatedly on a mountain without being able to do anything much. It also undoes some of the changes (not to mention some raising/lowering occurs when buildings are built near).

[quote who="seanw3" reply="247" id="3249123"]The goal should be to avoid spells that one-shot powerful enemies. Magic attacks should do less damage, but be affordable to cast every turn. I think the problem with firedart is that it is the only ranged spell. Focus makes that spell do double damage. It gets way out of hand because none of that is tied to Path of the Mage and firedart increases in power per level. And none of this is going to miss or be resisted or is currently reduced by AI ele
You know what, shards should not even give spells bonus to power (or maybe only get a small increase at 1 and 2 shards and that it)... Shards should mainly give a pool of "free mana" that recharges to full every turn, but if not used is wasted. 15 mana per shard. So if I have 3 shards I got +3 mana gems per turn (permanent mana storage that can be traded and stockpiled) and a 45 a turn in discretionary pool. If I use 49 mana this turn then I have burned 4 mana gems. W

[quote who="Emperorjarin" reply="228" id="3248909"]Exactly. As it currently stands, I find myself using magic in primarily a support role, even with a mage who has level 4-5 in all elemental books and life magic, simply because it's far more efficient for me to have a high-powered champion or group of troops. Part of this is by design; spells like fireball and blizzard have a cast time, and while that's important for balance, by the time I get my spell off, the enemy army
This is not a poll, it is a questionnaire inviting long drawn out discussions (the likes of which were already done to death in other threads). A proper poll should condense the various view points from such a discussion into a single question and multiple choice answers where you pick out ONE of the answers and vote for it... aka, people's sole answer should be "I vote A" or "I vote D" on the poll.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="30" id="3247728"]To put it in video game terms, think of taxation as a royalty. If my game is doing gangbusters, then I don't care as much if the royalty percent for the other party is high because I have enough. On the other hand, if things are tighter, then an increase in royalties can be problematic. And that's the issue we face here. [/quote] Well... 1. Every business goes through ups and downs.

Very good point jam3. Simultaneous enemy move is a big issue. TBS means turn based strategy. It means each player takes a turn not a rapid real time strategy that is paused until the player hits "turn" and then it happens real quick and pauses again. One more issue to add to the list of things that NEED to be solved before the game goes gold.
