[quote who="Frogboy" reply="25" id="2679354"] Quoting Marks1381, reply 24 Quoting Frogboy, reply 13 Quoting MagicwillNZ, reply 10 Hey Brad... I'm concerned that we won't see 10,000 man armies anymore. Is that the case? There won't be 10,000 unit armies in v1.0. It'll probably top out at hundreds instead of thousands in a given fight. We'll look at increasing the limit in the future. Thank goodness.
Oh noes. :O I can't believe that you gus are arguing about this again...this is a pointless discussion. Q: Which combat system is better? RTS? TBS? Continous TBS? WEGO? A: All of those systems are equally good. It's just a matter of subjective opinion, that which one do you like. That being said, my favourite is the TBS battle system.
Q: What do you want from the first official expansion? A: Spore type creature creator! [...because creating 3d models + animations = very hard stuff.]

[quote who="KWAiRT" reply="24" id="2678062"]He's spot on the money with his theory. The latest information they have brought to date about particles escaping a black hole is again correct. Aside from the Black hole seeding galaxies they can also seed universes. Amazing to be part of the internet at such a crucial point in history. Where the entire planet comes togeather to further our knowledge of the universe and nature. Highly recommend reading/watching any if not all of this mans theories.
[quote who="Cauldyth" reply="5" id="2677603"] quoting post Acquiring resources. Similarly, forcing a player to snake out to build a resource (OR be forced to spam cities) in order to make use of various resources IS NOT FUN. Instead, players will be able to simply select a resource and choose build if the resource is in their territory. This not only “gets things moving” but also makes your area of influence matter more (since bigger cities genera

It works. I am playing as Altar in my current game, and I was able to sign a non-aggression pact with Capitar, but I have to give them like 50G as well.
I think that this is a bug. The cities are too close to each other.. :O A picture is worth a thousand words, so... -> Saved game: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6604769/aaa.EleSav
[quote who="jpinks" reply="13" id="2677075"]I want to know about a Campaign for the game? IE will we actually have one. I mean sandbox is fun, but a great story sells and helps you learn the ropes. [/quote] Yep, we gonna have a campaign! -> Rich, story-driven campaign developed by Random House’s Del Rey. IIRC Brad has mentioned tha the campaign will be RPGish, while the sandbox mode "MoMish". :)

[quote who="Peace Phoenix" reply="7" id="2676976"] Nop, you cannot build gardens in the latest build. For which city level? I am playing with empire and the equivalent of garden is available for level 2 city. [/quote] Hm, it looks like that you can build gardens with the Empire factions, however you cannot build them with the Kingdom factions.

And if Yes, how and where do i build it? [/quote] Yes, of course...in the latest build you must train a "Pioneer" unit in your starting city. These Pioneer units can create new settlements.

[quote who="Mandelik" reply="82" id="2676900"] Quoting Annatar11, reply 65 We're stuck with it because (as Frogboy posted), they can only do so much with stats when they potentially have to simulate very many battles between turns. Every single interesting RPG-like combat mechanic that gets added can easily snowball out of control if it has to simulate 50 battles of 1000 units vs 1000 units and each individual unit has a list of 5 different combat modifiers t
