[quote who="TheBirthdayParty" reply="1" id="2689326"]Click on the actual resource itself. There should be a wooden hammer in the bottom left of the screen. Click on that. If its greyed out a tooltip should appear explaining why you can not build on the resource. [/quote] Greetings, if you look closely in the first screenshot you can see that the forest is selected (Red square around it) and then I hovered mouse over build and it says "Can't Build: Harvesting this Resource require

So many ideas on essences and they all have one thing in common. They're all better than the current model, imo anyway. I don't see another great idea which I read somewhere in these forums. This idea was based around the model that casting certain spells would weaken the caster. While I do believe some spells should actually lower your max essence (these would have to be extremely powerful and ubber) I dont like how theres many that just flat out gimp your caster permanently. The ide

I like the idea of Inns not dissapearing, it would make them more valuable since you would want to control the output of quests from a given Inn. I would also like to expand on this idea by saying that Inns could work like the current Shops in our cities. You step on top of the Inn and in your action bar get a "Enter Inn" button which if you press, opens up a screen showing the inside of the Inn. There you could see a bartender and shady looking characters that if you mouse over them displays

I read in the dev journal that all resources wouldn't require Techs, heres what Frogboy wrote: + We no longer require technology pre-reqs to builds on resources (if you find one, it’s a bug and you should let us know) Here is what I found: I then went for the Wood Working tech and even after researching it (and passing a couple of tur

Correct me if I'm wrong but you want a "Play Now" option like in civ 4 right? Incredibily enough I have civ 4 and never played using this, I always go straight to custom game to add a buncha civs and play with the settings. Regardless of that, having more options can't be a bad thing!

[quote]why the need to not eat a tile btw?[/quote] The only reason I said it wouldn't cost tiles is because currently it doesn't, you just select a bonus and forget it. But thinking about it I don't think it would be a big deal if it did or didn't cost a tile since after a city levels up you would always have at least 1 free tile to put this up. This is all hypothethical though unless they somehow like the idea lol.

So I was thinking up some ideas for possible talents for champions and me and my brother just kept going and going with new ideas, theres so much potential to be unlocked! Anyways I took some screenshots of the current Level Up UI and modified it slightly to show how talents or "Paths" like im calling them, could be integrated into the lvl up dialog. Here's some more crappy MS Paint edits! <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8088480/TalenSuggestions/SovereignLVLUPMod_1.JPG" alt="" width

Greetings, I wanted to suggest changing the way City Level up bonuses are handled. I think the idea on a city leveling up and getting a bonus is pretty cool, but the current way of giving us this option is rather shallow. What I'm trying to say is that currently, you reach a new level with a city then you choose a bonus and thats it. There isn't even a way to tell that you actually have a bonus in that city or what that bonus even is. Edit1: Added link at the bott

Reported this for the previous version (Beta3B 0.90) and the reports can be found here . Its the same problem as before, when I exit the game via the Main Menu (Press Escape Key> Main Menu >Exit Game) the game crashes and generates a zip file.

I gotta say I'm very impressed. The performance from 3B to 3C for me has been incredible, just did 45 turns and there was no notable performance loss while in 3B I would get slowed down around 5-10 turns into a game. Amazing, keep up the good work!

Yeah me too, this has been around for a while, I reported it in this thread . Notification spam happens right after you load a game and you get a new notification. When you get this new Notification you get ALL the previous notifications for your towns, including the city leveling up and all the constructed buildings.

I tried several ways to reproduce this crash and the only way it happens is if I make the caravan enter the city after a tactical Battle. If I kill do the tactical battle first, then save and then load this game the route will be established without a problem.

I attack the shown unit with my sovereign and after defeating them in a tactical battle I get the shown victory results. Asides from the mis

Added 2 more crashes.

A confirmation box should be added in the diplomacy screen asking "Are you sure you want to declare war on X" instead of declaring war with one click in order to avoid declaring war by mistake. At the moment if you click "I declare war!" one time you enter war immediately and considering this is so close to trade I can see this happening a lot. No really, I didn't mean to declare

[quote who="otakucore2" reply="1" id="2686001"]On a related note (they may have already changed this in 3B, but I didn't see it in the changelog), it would be nice you could see an overview of the city while that specialization screen is up. Sometimes the screen took me off guard and I wasn't sure which city I was choosing a specialization for. If that isn't changed, I'll have to name my cities with specialization in mind from the beginning to serve as a reminder when the screen p

I'm not sure if it should go here or not but after I read this post I decided to scrible up some ideas. I got quite a few thoughts so I decided I wanted to do a slide in power point and before I knew it I had a few slides filled with ideas. I want to add that these ideas might be unintentionally copied from someone else and If I dont give you credit I don't mean any harm, but since I read quite a bit I might forgot where I got it from. I got most of my ideas on Power Point and I apolo

Unless there is a way I'm not aware of, after a city levels up and you assign a bonus (20% Research, Money, etc) there is no way to see what you assigned to a given city. It would be nice if it were added in the city details or in the Kingdom Info button in some way.

Happened to me too and sadly I don't have any debug or zip file for it :( But yeah was the same quest with a bandit and a dog. I do remember getting the experience points two times and leveling up the second time I fought.

I've had this happen to me several times, but I got an error while trying to load. All these errors generated a .zip file with a dump inside, did you check your folders to see if you have this? Do you just hang while loading a save? Does it crash? I think you need to give a bit more detail in order to understand your problem.

Some goody huts are very vague and dont tell you exactly what you got, instead just gives you a random generic message. I dont know if im weird or what, but this drives me insane because I got no idea how much I got unless I took notice of the gildar I had before hand. So if you would add the amount you found I would be very pleased, but of course this isnt game breaking but just a little thorn on my side at

Ugh bad title but I didn't know how to word it exactly. Ok so I went to a humble Inn which according to the info card required a level 1 Adventure Level and upon entering I got the Wild Goose Chase quest which I chose to accept. The first objective involves going to a witch's hut that spawns somewhere nearby but when I reach this Hut I get a message saying I require a higher Notable Location level. Screenshot below: <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8088480/Notable%20Location%20Unavai

When I right click to move my units they sometimes select the worse possible path instead of making the most out of their movement points, I hadn't made a post about this but its been around since 2A I believe. I put together a couple of screenshots that show how by right clicking and setting a destination the "computer" will make getting a goody hut from 1 turn like it should to unnecesarly moving through a forest making it an extra turn to get there. <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/

Im seeing this too and I posted on the Forum Issues section but havent gotten a reply yet. Curiously enough I keep seeing new posts emerge in the Recent Posts section when you go to the first page in the forums. I gotta buncha reports to post but I can't cause its soooooo slow and it wont open at all usually.

This isnt the first time its happened to me (usually after a newer Elemental Beta version is out) but when I click the Elemental Beta forums the site slows really slowly and when it finally finishes loading I can't see any posts aside from the stickies. I understand theres a higher traffic since lots of reports going out but I'm confused because I can see the recent activity that new posts are going up and I'm wondering if its just me and if there is something I can do to fix it.
