another to add: Every now and then (seems fairly random) it seems like the interaction between the cursor and the map is off. What I mean is that most days placing the mouse directly over the intended target square is just fine. At other times, it seems I need to place the cursor further up the screen to target the intended square. This has been VERY intermittent.
Some things I'd like to see changed/improved. When leveling a city, I'd like it to either zoom to city or even better give an option to examine city before having to choose upgrade option. Pretty annoying to have to memorize by city name what you want each to be good at. Hopefully simple request: place hero levels in a few more spots, especially the trade items screen. Be nice to see level and possibly trade item without have to dump that screen and go i

"+ Units with bows also have quivers" Are these cosmetic, or are there now equipable quivers for game reasons?
[quote who="Tasunke" reply="15" id="3087381"]I've never run into dissapearing items myself ... how does it happen? I always give 'extra' items away from my Army leader to the other champions, so that there is space for new items coming in (just in case), but even so I've never seen it happen, so I'm not sure what causes it.[/quote] I'm not sure if this is the only way.

I like the general idea. I'd like to see a couple features, anytime an army with no champion gets something it would automatically be added from anywhere (no limits.) For champions use, I'd like to see it setup where you have to be in your own territory to use it. I'd also like the need to research it, as long as it is a fairly early tech on the tree, or possibly combined with one of the other early recruiting techs. edit: Hmm, yeah, I think I like <a id="ct
[quote who="Leo in WI" reply="82" id="3086724"]I've been thinking. What if imbue stuck around, but only at a higher cost but it lets you get a new line of spells each time you use it for a champion. Say you get a champ with air and water, but want fire and/or earth. Let each imbue cast give you the option of learning a new line of spells. If this were used, I'd like to see it as a pretty high cost in mana to help balance, and possibly not even let you pick your line, but just randomly

[quote who="Bellack" reply="1" id="3086589"]I thought you could just move through their square. [/quote] I'm pretty sure I have done it accidentally. You may just have to click on other side of the champion, and let the game path through there for you.

When I learned about it I was crushed as well. Brian Reynolds himself told that AC 2 is virtually impossible (here, 1h30min podcast -- very interesting btw!). I think Stardock should hire Brian Reynolds! [/quote] That'd be great. Be nice to see more deve

[quote who="Gandhialf" reply="50" id="3084765"]Alpha Centauri 2? 1. AC is a baby of Brian Reynolds. He now works for Zynga ( ). Without him AC 2 would not be AC at all. 2. AC is a baby of Firaxis. It's called "Sid Meier's" after all. But Firaxis doesn't own the rights for AC. 3. EA owns rights for AC (source). EA loves to buy kill trademarks. So there will be no Alpha Centauri 2. Ever.

[quote who="Fistalis" reply="43" id="3084445"]Civ 2 was Microprose not Firaxis. So was the Original Pirates. (Thats of course ignoring that the actual staff for every game was different). Was WOM was a disappointment but at least Stardock isn't charging me 30$ for the fixes. [/quote] Speaking of Firaxis, where the m-f is my g-d m-fing Alpha Centauri 2 ?!?! Sorry to derail, I just really, really want to play a new high res version of that game!
Thanks for the AoW opinions guys!

Just out of curiosity, of you guys who played AoW:SM, how did you feel about AoW2? Both as pertains to this thread and in general.
I'm so glad you posted this. I have meant to start a thread like this about 15 times while in game, and keep forgetting. My tactic has been figure out from city list what I want to get rid of and then get the demolish tool open and just start right-clicking on them all to see their names. Click cancel on the ones to keep. I tried figuring them out by looks but it was even more time consuming than just brute forcing through them. Was able to skip super-obvious ones like mana shrine
Agree with many of the other points. I'd like to add... take a look at this thread, the poster has a couple nice videos to watch with some decent narrative as he plays. https://forums.elementalgame.com/417343 If you can find a cheap copy of Civ2, I'd think that'd be a nice way to get into games like this. Hell, I'd probably still fire that up on occasion if I had it installed.
[quote who="greggbert" reply="6" id="3082685"]Don't stacks you get free movement for passing through the city? The way I understand you can walk in one end of the city and and walk out the other only using 1/2 of a move! If your city is long enough that could make up for 2 or 3 turns![/quote] They do, but only if you have room for them and the current garrisoned units at the same time. Else they have to take the long (and circuitous if you've been snaking) route
I think the range distance can use some tweaking as well with ranged attacks. Maybe have more powerful bows also have a bit more range. Having the initials bows not being able to fire the whole battlefield would probably help balance things a bit. Couple different types of ranged items would definitely be welcome as well. Line of sight would be nice, but that may be getting a little too complex, but would surely be cool with some random trees/large rocks or whatever on the battlefield for cov
