Trying to work out why some monsters will let my pioneers walk by and even set up a city next to them and ignore them (and even walk away!) while others will eat them as soon as they try to walk past. Its like.... nice resources there, but big fire elemental.... I wonder... SWEET he is ignoring me! Wonder if that drake next to that nice gold mine will also ignore me.... BOOM, arr well, guess not.
Large random map, max AI's all set to ridiculous, by turn 350 it was down to just 4 AI's. Have not noticed any slow down in turns in fact, its fastest now as almost no monsters lairs any more. Then again, even at the start, there was no speed issues, just random crashes due to memory. Using an Intel® Core™ i7 - 920 Processor with 12gigs ram (but the application would crash when it got to 1.7 gigs
This still going?
[quote who="seanw3" reply="6" id="3114494"] Diplomatic Capital is not used by anything, so its worthless, except to sell to an AI. DiploCap is spent to train monsters. [/quote] Thank you. I was sure I was missing something, I will re-look at the costs when I make my next Drake.
I love the campaign mode, it like a mission that you have to do to be come rulers of the world, instead of just random kill everything (sandbox mode) I also want there to be a special item that you get for completing the campaign which you can use in sandbox mode\multi player mode. As long as its not too powerful. Eg. Necklace that adds +1 mana per turn The only problem with campaigns, you only ever do them once, but you play
In the last five games of 0.86 I have played, I have gone only gone for the building at add food (and one city with the L4 prison) As pop = research, gold and mana, it was better for me to pick the garden & bakery for every city when they get to L2 and & L3 instead of the other buildings. What buildings do you guys use in 0.86, anyone think the +food buildings are better then any other building for that level? L4 and L5 buildings, its a different story, bu

Diplomatic Capital, what is it used for besides trading. I trade horses, metal and crystals cause its used to make stuff. Gold is used to pay for stuff. Diplomatic Capital is not used by anything, so its worthless, except to sell to an AI. I thought it might be used to make your city grow faster or something, but can't see how to use it. Am I missing something?
One L4 city with a prison and one L5 city with Onyx Throne and normal tax = zero unrest :) I always get the same upgrades for each city as population means more then anything else for me. L2 = Garden L3 = Bakery L4 = One city with prison, the rest the research building L5 = Onyx Throne (but I normally only get one city to L5)
I loved the game, but it was too short, played on insane level, did all the side quests, had the DLC and still it was over in one weekend. I liked how the battles on earth FELT like a real war (lots of noise and big weapons going on all around and you just worried about the next two feet and ignore the huge cannons going on over head. Lots of people complained about the ending, but it was still a really good game, but you could tell the ending was ... rushed.
[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="4" id="3113017"] Quoting joasoze, reply 2The AI doesnt pick up free stuff Frogboy said that's fixed in the next beta drop.[/quote] It the only way I bet them on ridiculous level is cause they don't pick up free stuff and I build a drake to stop their army's. I need to think of a new way now! On ridiculous level, each AI starts 15,000 gold, 300 metal and 300 crystal, but appear n
I noticed the UI disappears when the ram usage of the game gets to 1.7gigs It appears if you reload a game, the memory footprint gets biigger, so I don't think its correctly recycling the memory usage with will cause it to reach the cap and fail. Its easy to recreate, just keep reloading any save game until the memory usage gets to 1.7gigs and then it will crash or fail to load the UI.
In 0.86 I just moved my hero\army over it (even tho I owned it when I took over a enemy's city) and it was auto destroyed. One turn later it de-poped and reappeared as a life shard and I could build a life shrine.
It was the best L5 building for me, so I picked it and could not build it. Anyone have a full list of the special building options at L5? Maybe a full list for each level?
Anyone know if each extra attack of the maul effect from bear have a higher and higher dodge? I have been TRYING to get hit from maul to see how many extra attacks it gets, but I always dodge. It appears maul will keep hitting you until you dodge, but each round you have a higher and higher chance to dodge. Even L1 hero's appear to dodge anything after the second attack from maul.
When there is multi stacks, my version shows an extra icon on the stack (which means there is more the one group there, I think the icon has a tool tip of the word ARMY) You are using 0.86 right?
City's can only be built 7 squares apart, but this is not based on the centre of the city, but the edge, so two new city's can be 7 squares apart, but once they get bigger, they are now classed as closer together then 7 and destroying one will not allow you to rebuild it until the other city's building have been reduced. Also the SLAVE MASTER trait and higher AI levels, means computer city's have more base grain then that is really th
[quote who="Replicators" reply="150" id="3112934"] While this idea is great for building up the AI, It is terrible if this is the solution for lack of Multiplayer. Just my 2 cents. [/quote] Most games like this, its very hard to find a real person to play with. If this allows you to play multi player with REAL people and AI accounts (or a mix of both). Then it rocks!
Wait? So the AI's that I am currently playing against in Beta are NOT local? And they learn? Hope they don't remember that I back stabbbed them last time and get the jump on me first this time
