[quote who="StevenAus" reply="32" id="3081142"]I successfully managed to complete a Large map, and explore all the land area, and barring some errors when capturing cities I was able to play through to the late stages, and the saves did not become corrupt. This is on a Win7 64 bit Pro system with 4GB of RAM. I deliberately avoided the Arena quest (which gives Legendary Weapons) and the Quest that gives Legendary Armor, as these corrupt any save games after getting the techs unlock

I actually had more trouble with the 3 packs of dogs and the Obsidian Guardians. Is it something I'm doing that makes the monsters in the quest areas come out and attack me? Like I do all the good neighbor things. Keep the dog on a leash so it wont ravage their lawn.. keep noisy appliances off the common wall so they dont hear vibrations.... run the snow blower an extra 60 seconds and do their sidewalk too. Heck I even am extra quiet in

I want chime in as a player that started last Tuesday. Through Sunday I just started a game and settled where Soveirgn spawned. On Sunday as I started realising the importance of starting grain I started looking for the best spot. This Tuesdays game started me in a narrow hilled canyon with all 4 Empire around me and 2 NPCs areas.. the ones with the Obsidian golems and the one with the Umber-dogs. Of the few monster spawns near me one was a Drake army and the other one of those Shr

Great story :) Maybe we need a cap on how many shards affect spells?

The only hang I've noticed is one that follows the splash screen when first entering a quest area. Usually followed by a hang in the tactical battle map. This is my hunch so far so I plan to start a few more quest areas over a few more games and see if it holds true.

I think Froggy said early August

Oh so the penalty is severe. So the choice then becomes do you level them seperate or together as you are limited by monsters to kill. Though I guess you could leave the moster spawns uncaptured and keep killing them as they spawn? It seems something triggers the monster spawn guardians to start patrolling rather than stay in place and eventually the spanws do get captured by the random npc scout .

The actual Bronze shield gives +8 to defence against ranged attacks. In the Strenghts section of the faction under Defensive it describes the Bronze shield as a +6 item rather than +8. vs. ranged attacks.

OMG just tested it. It seems you get an xp penalty for each additional hero in the group. Do you also get an xp penalty for minions?

One alone? ... they'd get lonely. Also I dont get to use the +10 xp for group and all the other group stuff. [e digicons]8C[/e]

So I was trying to optimize a response group with balancing defenders. I decided to try just the Soveirgn with the first Champ you get and all else as Defenders. For max movement I've cannibalized the special lizard mounts from other recruited heroes as well as a pair of +1 move boots fo

I fought them today and used the Escape Spell when they were busting me up. So I cast all my enviormentals on them, drank some heal pots, and attacked them again and won mostly due to the Contagion Spell. Never thought to use it first time, then again second time they were Frozen so I had like 3 turns before they reached me in the back. What I got for winning was a helmet with + 6 to spell resist. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e] Oh and 2 levels on my Heroes..

Today playing Magmar I found a spell you can actually stack for attack power. I foget the name but basically it's +1 attack for 250 mana. Also it occured to me there is a workaround for this bug if you have some powerful enviormental damage spells. You just need to inspect enemy armies and whenever you see a enemy Hero with some ridiculous level or attack power.. indirectly confirming that he's Burning Blade bugged....blast him before he gets into combat with any of yours.<

Yea some of those injuries are nasty and with enough healing and heal pots it seems any battle can be won. Especially with all the external spells you can pepper people with before they attack. Also some spells count enemies and do more damage so all those extra 10 hpt heroes cough cough Blizzard Spell.. cough. Some games do get crazy with you in the center and it feels like the Alamo with everyone dogpiling on to the war against you...scoll next enemy..scrol

Yea the animations are amazing. I usually never care much for such in stratgey games but here I find myself casting the random spell just to see its animation even if its not the best move in a tactical battle. Just yesterday I was Blizzard spamming just cause I couldn't get enough of the snow left after the fact on the tactical map.. hilarious! :D

I'm new here but from the few games I've played it seems the only time movement path on the map deviates from the fastest path is when there is an enemy in the way. I've noticed pioneers will change their path every turn to avoid walking through monsters and I might be wrong on this but sometimes it seems they even deviate enough to not end their turn near monster camps so as to avoid the monsters leaving the camp and attacking. What I find more w

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="1" id="3191800"]LOLZ. Funny and sad at the same time. Obviously something that shouldn't of happened, but you've just won the 'shortest game ever' award. Great find. [/quote] Thanks I will wear my badge with pride! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Started as Paradin. Game start spawned me on three 5 hpts wolves. Hasted myself and went into melee. Could not beat them and game ended. Could be bad way for game to start for new people who buy game at release. More opinion than bug.

I noticed that too. It's funny how this simple feature is so commonplace these days that when a UI is devoid of it you feel it's a bug. As miniscule as this probobaly is to the list of things they are fixxing it wouldn't be bad to fix this too as it makes the game feel like a late 80's/early 90's stratgey game.

That's nothing.. the hero I fought had it on him about 28 times, had 3 fire shards and as he crossed to field to attack my guys at my main city his secondary hero cast Burning Blade on him. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]

Just want to confirm it is still bugged . Just fought npc Magmar today 7/14 and he had it stacked to 250 attack.

Yea I just tried that and it works. I guess I'll start a new game as I can't figure out what is wrong with these save files. Its all good. :)

I figured out how to open the big map.. just needed to mouse scroll out. The map is gorgeous btw. :) I've progressed fine in game and I'm getting the hang of it. The only problem I'm having now is, though it was working fine yesterday, today the game crashes on save. I've even loaded order saves and tried to save them and it crashes so something specific to saving. At first I thought something I did somewhere was bugg
