Cities will be reinvented in Beta4 so now is a good time for ideas :)

When the AI gets better at fielding full armies, most of this will be solved
I kinda like the fact that you are in danger early game, and a demi-god defender would be over the top. A guardian unit (maybe one pr level of the city) is ok, but not a unit that makes you certain that the city is safe.
If I may be a bit rude to the OP, I would say you should go for Nintendogs :d To be more serious, its a beta. Wait until gold version and test if its your thing. I am playing this game cause for me this is the best game available to play right now.
An guardian the strength of an ogre would be enough. If not its gamey in my opinion.
I would like to do a play by mail with seanw3 and das123. The game would take forever, but it would play out like a novel :d
Can we accept suggestions from a man who sets taxes to zero and complains about his negative income ;) I actually think that the suggested system would work, but I am not sure we need it. Just make the AI able to take number of shards into consideration and abuse it like we players do. :d
The AI isnt finished yet, but it is getting better. It still is not fielding strong armies mid/late game as you have experienced.
You set taxes to none and complain about going into the red?? (episode 21. Yes, I have seen em all up to 21) Forget it. You discovered it later :d
If you send out your sovereign on a little trip he will find a place to settle. I have never had much problems with this. The good thing about this game is that a 3 city empire can compete with a 5 city empire, due to the growth mechanism and the importance of the sovereign/champs.
If it had a system where I got an email when it was my turn I could play sloow games with friends. If I have to sit down and play at the same time as them, then I would not have the time.
Yesterday I released a Slag (sp?) by failing a quest. It took out one of my cities and generally wrecked havoc :)
And by the way. GIVE US UMBER BACK!
On winning battles they get exp in the battle popup, but does it have a purpose or is it just lost in space?
@Zubaz - Fit and with a slim waist too ;)
Just to calm you yanks down a bit. Its 3200 km from North to South in my country, and it is a european one. That is 2000 miles. Denmark is hardly Europe :)
[quote who="dolphan13" reply="17" id="3149058"]Is this version downloadable yet? Not seeing it listed myself...[/quote] Thursday nights are typical for release. Its not out yet.
I love that video Heavenfall. As a Norwegian I find it offensive that the list had a Danish night out as expensive (its twice the price in Norway) and the comment about clothing is also a bit strange to a mountain monkey (what the Danes call us). :d
It has improved A LOT. If the improvements are to your taste is another matter. Check out the Lets play series on youtube by Das24680 . He has a few games documented. Be sure to find the one where he says that he is playing 0.913 at the start of the episodes.
[quote who="OrionM42" reply="9" id="3148934"] As someone else has occasionally said (I think it was Joasoze): Love those Changelogs ! [/quote] Spot on :d If only I was as good in documenting the stuff I do a work :)
They are not mutually exclusive. The current iteration is by far the best I have tried. I just played a game and having to defend cities and not just run around creating a super stack is just plain FUN to me.
And late game some units should "recruit" others that they meet to form more formidable enemies mid/late- game :d
They have day one DLC for another two Euros. I am out. I dont care if this was some pre-order bonus or something. If I cannot wait until release to see if a game is good without paying extra for it, then count me out.
Sounds good. There must be more summoning goodness before release. They might add summons as they differentiate races also.
I have noticed that when the end turn doesnt work, its usually because some background AI process is running. Wait half a min and suddenly you can move on.
