Trojasmic

I've been saying since EWOM that this game needs more wingdings! FIX IT!

all the time... i'm careful about keeping them safe during battles until they become elite.

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="230" id="3388297"] Ok, well that means I haven't received the update properly then. Steam does seem to be a bit flaky when it comes to multiple updates for the same beta.[/quote] C'mon Stardock fix it!

1. This question has a million good answers. Here's a couple. + One hero with summoning magic, lots of summoned creatures + One hero with high defense melee troops and high attack ranged troops + Two heroes (one of them a Commander with exp bonuses to negate the multiple hero exp penalty), mix of melee and range troops 2. What turn limit? 3. I typically go sparse on resources and magic because I think there are too many.

What is "Ineluctible Vision"?

I would argue that it's not the "Maps" add-on that is causing this. There are too many "settle-able" spots and new cities are allowed to be too close together in the regular game. They should really tune this back one notch (or one tile as the case may be).

1. Babies come from storks. 2. Materials is materials... Materials is not iron nor is its crystals. The number of materials a city has gets multiplied by a value (certain technologies and buildings can raise this value) to determine your production points (how fast you can build stuff). 3. The only way to determine how much tech you have is to go to the diplomacy screen and try to trade with somebody. It would have been nice if they had put this v

[quote who="Borg999" reply="205" id="3387218"] In a game last night, I gained a level and was about to choose my level-up. I wanted to select the third tier of an air spell, but I got a scroll-over message stating that I had to be level 5. I've never noticed this before, so I assume it's new with 1.3. Personally, I don't care for the restriction.[/quote] Hey Borg, that restriction has always been there.

Gonna need a little more ....

Bug?

I'm really not a fan of is OP'ed threads so I'll say it this way instead... I'm abusing the AI with Pull of the Earth. The AI has become much better and puts up a really good fight until I get Pull of the Earth. The problem with Pull of the Earth is that all your heroes get it regardless of what class or magic school they are. So I take an army of 3 heroes plus a bunch of troops (pick any 6) and lay everybody down with Pull of the Ea

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="186" id="3386486"] Nothing was touched with tactical. Just strategic.[/quote] Hi Frog, You may not have touched tactical but somebody did. Read the changelog. It says that units will no longer end up on the same tile in tactical and I'm saying this is not fixed. There are other issues in tactical (see my post above). I'll throw one more out there. The "Command" trait is no longer giving units an immed

Not sure if the Spiders have stopped "Web"bing ranged units, but they are "Web"bing units that have already been "Web"bed.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="182" id="3386384"] PLAY IT! PLAY IT NOW![/quote] I AM! I AM! I'm happy to report that the AI is building more than 1 city now. I have noticed some funny pathing issues during tactical battles tho. 1) The sand golem didn't move for several turns. It looked like he had targeted somebody in the back of my armies that he couldn't get to so I just pinged him with range. I felt bad so I spread my troops apar

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="3386063"] They'll go into the final v1.3.[/quote] Shouldn't we beta test them first for you? The current 1.3 beta AI doesn't work. We would hate for 1.3 to come out and still have a non-functioning AI.

Yes, I know this because I give my Henchmen the "Veteran" and when they pop out I get two free level upgrades. I make them Commanders plus Road Builders or whatever.

I like this pattern of using the second part of the previous name as the first name and a new second name. Elemental: Fallen Enchantress became Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes so the next one should be Legendary Heroes: Fall From Heaven or some sort.

"best game ever?" is pretty subjective, but add my name to the list of people playing 1000+ hours and still playing. I'd say this is one of the Top 10 Best Strategy Games of all time.

[quote who="Kantok" reply="10" id="3385514"] It's interesting that people are taking this to be a point about whether or not to be nice to others. That's not what Rand is talking about at all (at least not in this part of the book). She's talking about whether or not people have the right to expect YOU to be nice to THEM regardless of what THEY do to YOU. You are more capable/successful/wealthy than I therefore I should be able to do anything I want to you

Can I be parrotmath and davrovana's water boy at Stardock?

[quote who="darkgeck0" reply="143" id="3384613"] Trojasmic - I got game updated fiew hours ago, after quick play on tiny map saw wandering monsters and rather solid AI running around the map.[/quote] Darkgeck0, you tricked me! I just opted back into the Beta only to find the AI still only building one city and stockpiling its troops in that one city like its afraid to come out or he's got the pioneer priority too low or something. Something is still broken a

[quote who="Stalker0" reply="144" id="3384616"] Maybe you should stop playing beta versions of a game if you want to deal with bug issues.[/quote] Yer funny. Will somebody please tell Mr. Stalker that I've been playing Betas since EWOM and probably lead the league in bug reports over the past 4 years? I like to joke around with Derek and Brad, but sounds like I'll have to put brackets around my next post for you.&nbsp

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="2" id="3384603"] Aww, that's not fair! The only summer camps I was allowed to go to were all about Jesus. And what video games did Jesus make? NONE! [/quote] Stardock, will you please hold another summer camp where we talk about Jesus and play video games? Sign Xia and Trojasmic up!

Does anybody know if my demands were met? Did we get a Thursday update to this crappy 1-city per AI beta release? If not, I'm going to start taking $1 out of my Stardock savings account for each 1 day I have to wait. Or perhaps I should create a HUGE map game against 1 AI (which will only build 1 city) and just turn it into an RPG where I explore the whole world by myself. Which one should I do?
