[quote who="kwm1800" reply="16" id="3421949"]2) The 3/3/1 tile still looks to be within a distance of 1 from a forest tile. If you are in the game it is pretty easy to measure this, but I am just guessing from the screenshots. If so, a city built there can still make the lumber mill. Maybe it can't make it on turn 1 if the wood is diagonal to the home city, but it will be enabled for later building when you can put it in a forest tile. Also note that it doesn't have to be in the fores

[quote]Altar : Lord Relias The main race and the protagonist on both campaigns of the game. If you have played him and his race, you would noticed this set is specialized for champion experiences and quest, with decent ‘rush’ ability to boost (able to move twice in one turn, but then lose next turn) mobility in the tactical battle. Recommended for who likes RPG elements of the game a lot.[/quote] You sure about losing a turn on us

Don't know if you know it, but the (I believe) Earth 3 spell "raise land" is your friend when you need to expand into swamp area. Cast that on the swamp and then you can build there.

I agree with Raiddinn, the flexibility makes it worth it, especially early game if you have the right spells. I also try to make my highest essence city my fortress for the same reasons listed.

[quote who="Illauna" reply="18" id="3420394"]Is there a continue movement button? This was a very useful feature that Endless Space had. It made managing a large number of late game fleets so much easier. [/quote] I'd like to voice my approval for such a feature as well. Would be great to advance all the automatic movement and then decide the rest of my units with that current location knowledge in hand.

Just started a game with Tarth yesterday, and I was also getting attacked much more often than seemed likely with Stealth.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="4" id="3416125"]The problem with the iPad for Amazon consumption is Apple won't let you buy stuff directly. I have to go to their web page.

Nice review Brad. So to take that one step further, is there even a reason you need the Kindle Fire? Amazon ecosystem consumption can all be done very well on the iPad especially as long as you have the Paperwhite for reading. It's the same boat I'm in, I have a Kindle Paperwhite and just replaced my iPad2 with an iPad Air. Guess my real question is: Is there anything the Kindle Fire HDX does better than something the above combo?

Got my iPad air today, although the cover doesn't arrive until next week. So far, it's one hell of an upgrade from the iPad 2. Sorry to Apple, but it still doesn't make me want a Mac.

Don't think anyone has mentioned this yet but, is the problem perhaps that you never entered his land to trigger the quest? If you just found him out wandering and slayed him without having the quest, that would seem likely to not let the quest finish.
