[quote who="SivCorp" reply="4" id="2464137"]You can read the evidence yourself Van.[/quote] I've read the stuff. There is no evidence. Even a very unfair interpretation of those emails doesn't conclude that something shifty was going on. (You have to take sentences extremely out of context to do so.) Besides it is a boring topic to discuss in details. Deniers won't ever argue with facts, only with emotion, some sort of conspiracy theories and appeals to

Seriously, has science died? No. Next conspiracy theorist pls.

See picture below. Either force at least one topic to be available or add text to it, so it won't announce a breakthrough when there isn't one. ;)

Tried to load a game. Instant crash to desktop. Link to FogBugz (with wrong version number though.)

Well, I leveled my sovereign just to discover, to my utmost horror dear sirs and ladies, that he is missing pants! I demand a PG-18 rating for this game now! ;)

The AI built a kingdom palace and a woodcutter. Each of those needs 4 tiles, thus making building of houses impossible. Stagnating the AI city forever. 8 free tiles - 2 x 4 tile buildings = stagnation (The more buildings that are available makes the problem with the current housing system even more obvious, since you can easily overbuild your city so it can't grow anymore.) <img src="http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/8564/stuck.jpg" alt="

One of my scouts deserted because of a lack of funds. The fog didn't recover though, I still could view the area where he last was. In the middle of this area was my scout before he deserted some rounds ago.

As an addendum: Text shining through on the load map screen. And pixelated white ornaments around faction flag:

Confirmed. Growing borders don't check for foreign units in them, trapping them inside. See picture below. I'm not orange but inside orange borders, since the growing borders overrun my stationary unit. :)

See picture below. DxDiag for info about graphics.

Nice new splashscreen. Do we get one with a cute guy the next time? ;) Dunno if it is new but I've never realized it. Parts of the music gets toned down when in the options menu (only drums remaining). Very nice sound effect. [e digicons]:D[/e]

Ah, downloading update now. And I wanted to go to sleep. :(

[quote who="Rosco_P" reply="4" id="2463841"]I can't wait for v1.13[/quote] Neither can I... ... but only because I'm not sure if 1.13 will be out before Diablo III will be out. :D

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="7" id="2463682"]Anyone heard that the December update will include a fix for this problem? Having a 10x larger tech tree in the new build is gonna be really frustrating if this bug persists.[/quote] The new update revamps the research screen, so I think it very probable that it got fixed. :)

[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="32" id="2463632"] Quoting Charvel1, reply 29I like the popups. And appreciate the deals. Keep em coming. Me too. I don't understand why people say they are annoying : they're not huge and disapear really fast. [/quote] Cause it is spam? And people (at least me) are really fed up with spam, so we won't even tolerate a little bit of it. (Especially not in a place where it doesn't have any righ

[quote who="Zoomba" reply="25" id="2463484"]If a feature is defaulted to off, then no one ever knows it exists. Defaulting to on with the simple option to disable is the best balance between awareness and choice. If you really really hate it, turning it off is simple. [/quote] Perhaps when implementing a new option in to Impulse like this, make Impulse inform the user about it and give the option of disabling it at the beginning?

Looks good. I like the new research screen much more then the old one, from just looking at it. :) Since you've mentioned city building, any chance of changing the behaviour of hut building and resource access?

[quote who="Ron Lugge" reply="9" id="2462738"] The thing is, kona, this is a skinning/customisation site... it's what we do. Strange, I thought this was the impulse website! [/quote] All lies! It's the Elemental website!

[quote who="Kitkun" reply="1" id="2462780"]Turn balloons off by default, plz. My opinion, but they are annoying. I find it amazing that there's more positive than negative feedback.[/quote] Yeah, agreed. I've actually deinstalled Impules atm. Didn't knew how to deactivate it and was too lazy to look it up. Puff, and gone it is with the ads. * In other words, never ever do ads by default, it really annoys me. ;) <span

[quote who="Bellack" reply="30" id="2462375"] What ever you posted between your lines I can't see just shows blank spaces. But I would like to be able to expand the empire build and or take over cities and spread out over the map. This is not an RPG with a party of adventurers exploring dungeons. This is a Fantasy world that you’re trying to conquer. I would love to see as much of the RPG element brought into the game but I also want to control an Empire with its cities and vast ar

[quote who="Bellack" reply="3" id="2462370"]Whats the difference between continuous turn based and RTS? Becaouse it does sound very RTS for me and I really hate RTS games.[/quote] It depends heavily how they implement continuous turn based in the game, since they are different ways to do it (and interprete it). If it is simillar to how the Baldurs Gate series did it, it will work that way: Each action needs a certain a

I think we all agree that the current system has some critical flaws: - too much micromanagement with the different house types and the need to renew them to the new (and superior types) - the need to connect to ressource nodes forces snake-like cities that try to cover as much ground as possible - city spam is still possible and encouraged to take as much resources as possible I'll propose a solution to this problems. My inspiration came from th

Can we get a better topic title? :p About which game are you ranting anyway?

Same issue. Also, taking screenshot didn't work. prefs.ini: http://pastebin.com/m54f5aa06 debug.err: http://www.mediafire.com/file/tyd022l5rxi/debug.err
