There was an update on Saturday? [e digicons]o_O[/e] Ohhh, hmmmm.....I guess that is for the "normal" build? Because the beta build wasn't patched yesterday, but I might me wrong.
[quote who="davidjc_af" reply="1" id="2777537"]It's probably a sepcial ability they are trying to use. Right now if an Air Elemental tries to use an ability it crashes my game everytime. ic annot even get past one battle because of it. [/quote] Yep, I think that's it. I tried to replay the same battle, and when the troll attacked one of my units -> CTD. I guess the troll tried to use his special ability.
Friday update: ****** * Gameplay / Balance * + New Sovereign Ability: Wealthy +1 gildar per turn + New Sovereign Ability: Green Thumb +2 food per turn + Organized Sovereign Ability removed + Shop Costs moved to be a formula (unless specified in the XML) + Research costs increased + More balancing of initial resource seeding + Fertile land availability increased + Long Bows now cost 40 gildar
[quote who="louist" reply="5" id="2778268"]Looks like a first person take on Dwarven Fortress. I'm in. [/quote] Eh, weird stuff. According to the developer he sold ~60.000 copies of Minecraft in 3 weeks = ~600.000 euros. Perhaps Toady should use the same business model?...because he makes like ~3000 dollars/month. [Note: He has made more than 16.000 dollars in 1 month, when the new major version was released, but you got the picture...:)]</p
[quote who="Kalin" reply="7" id="2778518"]Talking about it made me go and dug up the save (wish there was more save info to make finding stuff easier) to pull this screenshot: That's a 4 stack, a 1 stack and a 12 stack of young dragons in game... 17 dragons, in one battle... does that qualify as epic enough?

[quote who="Satrhan" reply="100" id="2775356"]Not to jump on the negative bandwagon, but I agree that the economy seems to be way down on the list of things that need changes, if it is on there at all. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm afraid that they'll leave this for the mods. [/quote] Well yeah....the combat system, tactical battles, the magic system, the AI & UI fixes/polishing should have priority. Like I've said the eco system is boring and simple [subjective op

Does anyone know more about what the fan-made patch does for SM and whether it's compatible with the Impulse version?

[quote who="Tasunke" reply="96" id="2773654"]Combat Mechanics, Magic, and Tactical Battles are definitely the Top 3 ( and AI well ... yea that's there too, but you can only see how to make a good AI in reaction to the core mechanics ... therefore these battle/ magic mechanics need to be changed first, so that the AI can adapt and evolve to a "good" game) yea ... it needs to be a "good game" first, and then have "good AI" later.

[quote who="Redwind85" reply="18" id="2772836"] Quoting Tormy-, reply 14 I guess you misunderstood my suggestion? What you see on the picture in the OP are armies [X1,X2,Z1,Z2,Z3,Z4] on the overland map. So the suggestion is: multiple armies involved in 1 battle in the same time, just like in Age of Wonders - Shadow Magic. *edit* I updated the OP, so it should be more clear now. n
[quote who="Robert Hentschke" reply="17" id="2772798"] Infinite number of units? 1 army = 12 squads/groups max. right now. The maximum number of armies in 1 battle would be 12 using this "joint attack system". There is no limit for how many stacks can be in one square. That means infinite or if you'd like to split a few hairs, one square containing all units that your empire controls. There could be 7 complete armies of 12 units each in either X1 or X2. N
[quote who="wayninja" reply="13" id="2772726"]Well, it's a large bag of popcorn... from reading this thread I can't tell if that qualifies. The butter, however, is epic. There can be no debate. It's bacon flavored. [/quote] ..and that is what matters! [e digicons]:moo:[/e]

[quote who="Robert Hentschke" reply="15" id="2772659"]I think the adjacent units should not physically enter the battlefield but the attacker/defender should get global adjustments for "being outflanked" or the likes. Battle Isle was probably the first (non-asian) computerized board game that used such a system. Even in a turn based game you had to cover your flanks... There can be more than one army stack per square. If any adjacent units would enter the battle (reg
[quote who="Redwind85" reply="13" id="2772548"]i wouldent min this - but they would need to also implement a initiative system - so the units move interdepentent of each other instead of group based. cause a few casters if they attack first have won first round with their aoe spells. and having multiple armies join in the fight would just give their aoe spells the better effect. but i love this idea regardless!
