[quote who="tetleytea" reply="16" id="3119465"]I think the laws of physics favor a Space Elevator. If you think about it, it's amazing rocket propulsion can even take us to space in the first place. Newton's Third Law is relying on the rocket's exhaust to propel the rocket. The exhaust doesn't exactly have a lot of mass. Plus it's amazing you can afford to carry on the rocket what amounts to exhaust. It takes fuel, to propel all th

This appears to happen, if you saved the game the same turn that the research completed. (well happens for me that way)

A reverse magnetic polar space elevator would work (no cables). But any space elevator using carbon nano tubes would be too dangerous, if the cable fell back to earth, too many would be killed. A reverse magnetic polar space elevator uses the polar magnetic force to over come gravity but it can only be build directly over the magnetic south pole, so that adds a lot of issues in itself.

[quote who="Elrhamlin" reply="15" id="3116739"] Only females can found cities.[/quote] Wait, females only are required for making new citys..... kind of makes sense, but still sexist! So the three women units can make a new city which starts with 3 pop, and next year there are four there, either some random male from the wilds joined them, or they were preg on the way. I thought the edit option on pioneers was listed as a bug? And

I used to love the slave master trait until I did a test after you first said there was a bug, now I don't destroy the enemy, I just take them over. I would not mind, if there was a high level spell or something that could fix/restore the land

Most of my heros I have stolen their souls so I am the master of all magic. But yes, I prefer when you hire a L5 hero, they have 5 levels of exp but there current level is L1, so as soon as you hire them, they ding and you get to pick their skills. If you your the other side, as soon as you attack them, they auto randomly level and you fight them with there newly picked skills. Or just play on ridiculous level and there will be no hero's to hire any

809 pages! doe the forum auto lock threads that get to 1000 pages?

[quote who="joasoze" reply="29" id="3114592"]Forcing me to play campaign to get normal functionality in sandbox would pretty much make me a hostile puppy. Totally uncalled for, and I hope that this is a thing for EA and Ubisoft only. Heroes VI have some stuff in that vein.[/quote] It has to be designed so no one feels forced to play the campaign mode for the 'bonus' item or what ever it might be. Maybe it can just add a 'fluff item' Like a Pink plate armor or s

[quote who="seanw3" reply="314" id="3116622"]Death is only good when you have Death Worship.[/quote] OK, will try a Empire custom race with Death Worship, Serpent Pack & Powerful (with Uneducated)

Wow, this mod is a lot of fun, thank you! Can't wait for a 64bit version of the base game, so it can use more then 1.7gigs before crashing. Its sad when a game runs out of memory of a 12gig machine and less then 25% of the machines resources are in use.

[quote who="ben_sphynx" reply="11" id="3116592"]I think that Wither can reduce the amount of loot you get as a reward, and make lairs disapear so that they are no longer there to loot, after the battle, too. [/quote] Random loot from Mobs is based on exp, so less exp = less loot. Also killing lairs from the strategic map with pillars of fire etc = no loot So buffing yourself is greater then debuffing the mob

Balance between Death and Life spells. Who thinks Life has better spells then death? Note (1) If you lower the stats of a Mob, you get LESS exp when you kill it, so wither takes away exp, while courage and regeneration lets you have full exp. (2) Call to Arms is so powerful, you city can have 10 building queue up with one Drake at the end and for 40 mana, the Drake is instantly ready! (3) Death Ward means your hero has 50

At the moment you can snake your city's and block of travel (if you have a non attack policy, the AI can travel through your land but not over a city) You can also build on a 5+ grain and snake your city towards a river so you can build docks/watermills. I even snaked two cities to join, so I could travel 15 squares for free (which is so wrong!) I would like to see a middle ground. The starting city takes up a 3x3 space, and everything you build has

This is why Life (Kingdom) is better then Death (Empire) (at the moment) Life you Heal yourself but do not lower the stats of the enemy (but you do increase your own stats) and get max exp per fight Death you use wither and other spells to make the enemy weaker, and get little exp. I hope its a bug, the enemy should be worth X exp and you should get the same no matter how you kill them.

[quote who="joasoze" reply="2" id="3116264"]but, but, I am ready now My wife is away for 4 days, and I have all evenings. I could test how Umber eradicates the world again and again. [/quote] Custom race the whole way, serpent pack, Death Worship, Powerful and Uneducated, even playing on ridiculous level, the Umber still get removed quickly from the world :)

Mobs with spell reflect can be deadly :) Some are immune to some types of spells, others can reflex spells.

We need to raze outposts, as building an outpost also 'hidden's grain and material tiles in the same radius as a city. I saw a nice area but had to put an outpost to protect one area, but when I went back to build a city, I could not as the outpost 'hidden' it. If I could destroy the outpost, I would then build the city, but I want to get the AI to destroy it as I could not.

[quote who="enoeraew37" reply="6" id="3115519"]What does he mean by "and the tools to make your own" regarding spells?[/quote] The world editor includes the tools to edit/make spells. I love the game now with only a few spells, the more the add, the cooler it will be! (as long as the AI never turns my city into a volcano)

INPUT There you go :)

[quote who="DamionBaal13" reply="2" id="3115433"]I have a 64 bit win 7 and .86 crashes every new game, every save, every time i try and move a unit, about 10 minutes into each game, without fail.[/quote] I have windows 64bit win 7 too, but 0.86 only crashes on me when it gets to 1.7gigs of memory usage, and then battling bears. (autobattle works fine tho)

It was my own city, I saw a 5 grain spot, build a city there, razed it and the spot is now 4 grain. I rebuilt again, and razed again, and its now a 3 grain.

I always play a custom kingdom (life spells appear better then death, call to arms and regen are just so useful!) I use the Wraith race as they have cool tattoos and with white hair and light blue skin make a very close dark elf race, and I always go custom as I want serpents pack. It almost a must have trait. How many of you play Empire (death) based?

I did a few tests are your right, grain drops by 1 per city you build and destroy on that spot. A 5 grain spot become a 2 spot very fast doing this.

When you destroy the monster in the centre of these areas, they should become uncontrolled so you can build there, but as of 0.86, this is not the case. I do like the that on the large map, you get 2 of theses areas, and they are random each time. Would be cool if we could make a HUGE map that had all 6 of them. (but I guess we will have to wait to the 64bit version of the game to handle the memory required)

I made a custom kingdom using wraith as the race, it looks like a text error. It allows you to create a kingdom or empire with any of the races.
