[quote who="parrottmath" reply="9" id="3268794"]One of the biggest problems about transparency with regards to AI rules is the players ability to manipulate the loopholes in the rules. I do not doubt that transparency does help identify bugs and determines whether the AI is playing by its set rules. But if you knew exactly what the AI will do, then you lose some of magic of what the AI is going to do if you do X. Once this is all revealed you lose your title as player and move into

[quote who="hairrorist" reply="6" id="3268750"] A search function for spellbook would be great as well. Thats one of those things where, while it may not be high on the list of priorities, would be extremely quick and easy to add with a good UI backend.[/quote] If we are making a wish list, how about a favorites list or a bar like on the tactical screen for spells. That would be really helpful.

[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="3" id="3268636"]To Novalith - your post, sir, is just a piece of elaborate rationalization and apologetic tirade designed to cover a simple fact - the AI does cheat and it is rightfully called cheating. Can I prove my point? Of course I can. Every game comes with a set of rules (even asymmetric games that pit different forces against each other, like AI wars). These rules should be transparent, unambiguous and clearly underst

Your thread is not one of the ones I was referencing. I liked it and think it was quite helpful and to-the-point. I don't think it is the end of the world, just wish people would strive to accurately note what it is their thread or post is referring to. Repeatedly using "cheat" could make someone...defensive in impede communication.

Thank you Gaunathor and Kongdej for your explanations. I get it now. [e digicons]:D[/e]

Hi, I try to be accurate, especially when giving feedback to developers in a game I am playing. One thing that has bugged me for a while here on the forums are statements the AI is "cheating". The only definition of cheating that comes close to what I believe players mean is the one that says "to violate rules dishonestly". The AI dos violate rules (covered below) but is not dishonest, it is just an AI. I do not feel Frogboy is dishonest either, but saying his

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="9" id="3265875"] Quoting Galactic_Hunter, reply 7 - I have seen this mentioned. How do I know what impact Sov and Champions have on experience? I don't see it in the manual or Hiergemanon? Yes, it is a pretty big oversight that it is not mentioned anywhere. But basically it means, that the XP gets divided by the amount of champions in the party. Two champions mean, that you only get half the XP, three champions mean one third, and so on. Regu

[quote who="Cavil" reply="6" id="3268344"]I haven't experienced the insta-build yet but what i noticed so far is that the AI seems to know where all the resources are going straight for them and yesterday on my game with Gilden (not custom race, still learning the game) i meet Karavox, i have 4 cities he got 1 and i have about 1000 gildars and he got more that 10.000 with just one town [/quote] This is not a "knowing where the resources are" bug. That is an entirely differe

[quote who="Butterchin" reply="3" id="3268179"]That is... less than intuitive.[/quote] Yes it is, and I would love to be able to view previous scores. Oh well, it isn't game breaking or anything, just annoying.

Nice work so far. I doubt I will ever use something like this but it is awesome that you are putting it out there for people to use. :) [e digicons]k1[/e]

[quote quoting="post"] First I would like to say great job with the over all improvments of the game... I loved the concept of war of magic and thank you by doing right by us the gamers and fans! Anyway, the bug I encountered is when you try to manually end your turn (several turns into the game) the game seems to "lock up". I am still able to move map, zoom, select units. I have tried several ways to get around this "issue" however most of them lead to "game not

[quote who="Ely Soto" reply="32" id="3268129"]Ophidian's deadly bite trait is a bit overpowered. Can't dodge it, block it, etc.[/quote] IIRC it can only be used once every couple turns. That means you either get some armor, sacrifice a unit, or control range so you hit first and hopefully kill it before it can retaliate. I personally don't have any issues with that unit, or the other ones that share the same or similar abilities.

Ok, so I got 300+ turns in and now the game won't load. I have 3 saves from that time frame and the debug.err file. I posted them all in the links below.

My current save is failing to load with a memory error. Do you guys need the save or the entire err file? Here are the last couple lines.

Another bug: Dragons still kill themselves when they breathe fire.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="14" id="3267900"]The AI gold is super bugged in this. In a normal game, turn 130, the AIs have tens of thousands of gold.[/quote] I am playing challenging, no real issues and definitely nothing like what you are describing. Might be some odd process that got stuck in a loop or they grabbed a resource that produced some sort of error.

Minor Bug: When you get "Tactics II" the tool tip says it gives you +1 to init, which is in addition to the +1 from the first one. When you mouse over the skill on your hero it still only says +1 however instead of the cumulative +2 which could really confuse people. The bonus DOES appear to get applied.

Don't post bugs for these semi-beta builds outside of his thread please.

Tuidjy, I know my words aren't much of a boon, but I believe your work is very helpful. Thank you for your hard work, and a speedy recovery!

Frogboy, (I won't call you by your real name because you don't know mine, and it's just weird to me.) These are the bugs from this thread you have acknowledged which I think is all of them. 1. The computer can settle where they should not be able to settle. https://forums.elementalgame.com/435073/get;3261277 2. The challenging A.I is getting so

AFAIK, no there isn't. The editor lets you make new kingdoms, but not edit those either. Once you make one you are stuck with it unless you delete it. However I do write my custom kingdoms text and custom Sovereign text blocks in notepad. You can't copy them from the game interface but you can copy TO the game interface.

K, thanks.
