That's not what I meant... I mean, when a building is done being built, have a notice pop up like the spell research, like they do in Civ, where it says 'So & so city has finished building a barracks,' and you have the option to go to city prod screen or just close. If you close, the city would idle until you go back in and add another job, it wouldn't pop up every turn. I don't know about the rest of ya, but whenever I have a city finish building a project, I alw

If I'm not mistaken, the advanced lighting problem exists for everyone.

Like the screens for tech & spell research.

On the strategic map, y ou can only tab through your units if you already have a unit selected. It would be convenient if you could tab to the first available unit when you are at the strategic map with nothing selected at all. Also, tabbing to cycle through cities from the city production screen would be handy.

How many units are you using? I believe you need a min. of 4 units for tactical.

[quote who="dsk2293" reply="3" id="2684954"]Just copy how TC works in Age of Wonders 2 / Shadow magic. They really got it right in those games. Units retaliate and use up their move/attack points for next turn. This means low level units can gang up on larger units and drain them on attack points. [/quote] Agreed. Why reinvent the wheel? SM's system worked just fine, even with the garrisoned units having unlimited move their first turn, so long as they stayed in

Just started my first game in 3A, and there is a ridiculous amount of huts on the map. It is literally littered with them, and the 4 or 5 I hit all have pretty much the same thing - find an alchemist lab. Sorry I can't elaborate, but I'm outta time & have to go to work.

Will the entire mod be scripted, or will there be campaign / random map versions? Replaying the storyline would definitely be cool, but it would also be cool to just have a randomized 'Dragonlance World' where pretty much anything can happen, like Tanis & Caramon being recruited by the evil factions, or Flint being recruited by gully dwarves (I'm sure he'd love that). Will healing be rare, as in the original story? IIRC, the only healing in the entire storyline was the

It would actually make sense to have some fertile land nearby. If the Sov was going to restart civilization, he most definitely would find some good, fertile ground to start with instead of a patch of dead ground. About multiplayer spells, how feasible would it be to mod in spells solely for multiplayer?

Well all I'm gonna say is I hope the Empires in Beta 3a have the ability to increase their spell points & mana, so they can use the higher-tier spells, because playing the Empire factions in Beta 3 is just painful.

^^ I just did that last night. Thought I was trippin... "I did have that merchant dude with the pioneer, didn't I? Or did I have 2 pioneers?"

Interesting... mana's been regenerating just fine in my games.

I know having that 'advanced lighting' (or whatever it is) selected under options will cause a white screen. This doesn't sound like the same thing, however, as it didn't make my fan go crazy at all.

I can't do it. I've researched everything under Sorcery, Domination, and Imperium. Imperium seems to be stuck at the refined learning/finances techs. Supposedly, under one of the lore techs in Sorcery, I should be able to build some tower to produce sages, who then raise the spell point cap by 2. I can't build any new buildings, or the sages. I have cities at level 5, i own 2 each of air & ice shards. I can't build any towers, no sage towers, none of th

When I build an archery range, no green tiles light up. I can still place it, anywhere I want, even on a tile already occupied by another building. If I place it in an open spot, I can place another building on top of it.

First, are we supposed to be paying attention to the techs themselves at this point, or were the current techs just 'thrown in there' for the Beta, and not reflective of how the techs will be in the final game? Please say the latter... I haven't played a Kingdom faction yet in Beta 3, but I have to admit I don't like the techs available for the Empires. You can build monuments after researching Majesty... So what do you need the Monuments tech for? What exa

I'd like to see one or maybe a few 'lost schools' of magic, like maybe you can find a rare book of Demonology, from which you can start learning spells of demon summoning, curses, etc.... And yeah it would make too much sense to let shards beef up spells of the appropriate element. Would make shards more useful than just a resource for certain spells. One shard could beef up that fireball, but it wouldn't beef up the volcano because the first one just allows you to cast it

Is it just my game being bugged or something, or is it normal for random encounters to be rare in Beta 3? I mean, extremely rare. Like, this is my 3rd game in beta 3, and in all 3 I've had a continent to myself (playing multiple continents, large map) with not one single beastie wandering around, and a grand total of 1 chest and 1 eq pack across all 3 maps. Hardly any champions either, just the dude you get at start & maybe 2 others shortly after. I've been tryin

So will anyone ever spend that 5 essence for those wolves in that cave quest?

Pretty sure rivers are an issue they're working on internally. Something about the way they interwine through the current tile set makes them ugly and unnatural looking, iirc.

And control groups... And the ability to LOAD from within the game. [e digicons]:puke:[/e]

Still won't place, the tile doesn't get flagged as unavailable, so yeah you can build it over and over but won't see it on the tile. At least I don't. Btw, the same thing happens with Refugee Camps now.

[quote who="TMPhoenix" reply="3" id="2672125"]I also find that the game sometimes freezes on load after i restart the game after a crash or after i exited. However, after a fresh reboot this never seems to be a problem. I'll try the wait before load trick as well... [/quote] Same here, this has happened to me several times, but only after I came out of the game and reloaded within a minute or two of exiting. Doesn't seem to matter if I leave the game normally or

Me too. Win 7 as well. Forgot what I was doing before the crash. Sorry. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8631661/debugT02-10-14-442.err http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8631661/Elemental0_805-2010-07-05T02-10-14-442.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/863

^^ ok, that explains it. Yeah the shrine would be finished for all practical purposes. Thanks man.
