[quote who="Frogboy" reply="51" id="2844945"]No. You have to find a beach. Then you have to build a city. Then you have to build a harbor. Then you build a ship. Then you have to load units onto the ship. Then you have to find another beach to unload the units. That's a lot of work. In Civ V, units just walk across the water (they turn into boats at the water's edge).[/quote]I thought you were talking just about the boats. :P

I was very happy about these news with 1.1 for today (most probably tomorrow for me) until I noticed that it actually supposes that I must get to work because of it. XD Man, I could die trying to read all that changelog in one sweep. :S

[quote quoting="post"]before i get ______ again. [/quote]angsty [quote who="Frogboy" reply="3" id="2845056"]So as much as you guys may like v1.1, v1.19 betas (for those who want to play the test builds) will begin right after Christmas I suspect. [/quote]No rest for the wicked... XD

The last non beta is 1.09e

[quote who="DarkSide73" reply="35" id="2845442"]The modifications that have been made to this game are very intense and have greatly improved playability throughout, which also ups the fun factor. Yet all these dudes care about if they can give a skirt a sword and send her to be slaughtered with the rest of your worthless stock. Leave your women at home - my men will meet them soon enough.

[quote who="Diardiamond" reply="13" id="2845358"]City population could be used as "food" in a pinch... no? ^^jk [/quote]If it moves, it's food. :P I do want to add a building that gives extra food by canibalizing citizens but as Food works, most probably would be a -X to Prestige in the city.

[quote quoting="post"]One suggestion: eliminate armlets/cuirasses/helms/legplates and consolidate all that into suits of armor. People don't mix and match pieces much, and having individual pieces making scrolling down in the shop when you're leading a ton of heroes into battle annoying. [/quote]That we don't do it much doesn't mean that we don't do it. As for the scroll, "easy" solution would be as one I proposed for the Sovereign creation screen in the "Body" department:

[quote who="Diardiamond" reply="11" id="2845351"] character progress in game is flat. What I mean by that is all you basically do is get mega armor & a mega weapon & nothing can even scratch you...[/quote]That I must agree with. Funny how people talk about Wizard/Mage Sovereigns when they all are Jack of all Trades in Heavy Armour. In any case, even if we were to get skill trees and similars, I would have to say that you shouldn't be able to learn anything just bec

New meaning to "urban warfare". :P

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="1" id="2844939"] Jansk's values are randomized so he isn't supposed to be anything in particular. You are running into a known issue where unit portraits revert to the base unit type portrait. But that won't be fixed until after 1.1 (it is on the post 1.1 list) because we have to redo the way unit portraits are referenced. [/quote]When in doubt, default Rageguy.[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote who="LightofAbraxas" reply="8" id="2845302"] Yep, that's what I meant. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I still think there will be an AI problem in implementing this. [/quote]You were clear. More of a musing to myself and sharing it with the world. ;)

[quote who="TheProgress" reply="26" id="2845283"] You've got to be kidding me. I figured that the population was split into male and female and that by choosing that trait we'd be able to build larger armies more quickly.[/quote] I think there was a time when it was even considered that it could impact the growth of your population. But only considered very slightly. Why does it cost 1 if it's just cosmetic? Placeholder of something that was not finally developed? I know

[quote who="LightofAbraxas" reply="4" id="2845238"]You know, it's relatively easy (so I've been told) to create custom resources, such as specialist population. This should be relatively easy to mod into the game. Having said that, I don't think that the AI would be able to use this effectively in a mod until we get some more access to it. Here's hoping. [/quote]I suppose it would fall into making the proper housing buildings to "produce" a different kind of special

[quote who="LightofAbraxas" reply="8" id="2845280"] It's a good attempt at faction differentiation, but not so good an implementation of it, imho. [/quote]You don't see complains of the type "I cannot get Green Thumb during the game" or "I cannot get Attunement" during the game. Like Talents/Weaknesses and Professions, those spellbooks are one time deal. You pick them or not, much like Green Thumg, Stupid or Royalty. Only things you can actually research that can also be bought duri

[quote who="Hound" reply="7" id="2844803"] Elemental is still a wargame [/quote]It is a Turn Based Strategy game. [quote who="dowdyhoody" reply="9" id="2844850"]I think the answer is in the title.....War of Magic.[/quote] So only Magic should be able to be used a weapon and defense. No mundane spears and stuff. Because it's all about War of Magic . No, enchanted mundane weapons don't count as "magic". Also, as it's about War, you should start automatically

[quote who="FatNonFree" reply="5" id="2845114"]you should be able to research the other magic books that you don't pick in the beginning of the game later like the book of fire air etc [/quote]Scared of being forced to make choices in sovereign creation? :P

It was clearly stated (at least when they started) that these betas were online. Non beta game is not online and can be played normally without internet connection. Someone should have been repeating for the "newbies" about the required internet connection for the betas, I suppose.

Yet my full metal melee Sovereign with Daring and hundreds upon hundreds of bandits (and other stuff) dead (all that while the rest of the army watched)... pulled only 2 Daring Strikes. Damn 3% and lack of bug for Sovs. :P
