[quote who="Tridus" reply="1" id="2750849"]Not this week. [/quote] That link doesn't say it's not this week?

He used to show up for free and join you for free in beta... but back then we also downloaded data from SD's servers to play and didn't have the local data so who knows how that was done. If you just want a free champion, I'd open up one of the XMLs and see if defines a spawn percentage/tile distance variance, or some other spawn trigger. You might be able to make your own that spawns nearby at start and is free.

[quote]If you start a game with Janusk Advice unchecked does he still appear? I don't have the game in front of me, but I thought there was an option for him somewhere in the game.[/quote] Yes, this is a setting in game options and if it is disabled, Janusk does not appear in the game. I've been playing this way for a while, quite happily :)

Yeah, the tooltip says 25%, and the value provided is 1.25. However, for the essence bonus stat the game treats the value as the actual percentage boost instead of a multiplier (like, if you have 16 essence and you multiply by 1.25, you will get 20 which is a 25% bonus). Since it does treat it as a straight percentage, it just adds 1.25% bonus to your total. Shards list the bonus value correctly, the temple does not.

[quote]5. Tech In my very first game I researched three trees (magic, civic, diplomacy) to the maximum. Researching goes waaaaaaaay to quickly. In GalCiv you do the research at the cost of... something. Here research just comes. And it comes fast. Right now I don't care what I research because I know that I'll get whatever I need from other trees in just few turns.[/quote] At game creation, set the pacing to Epic ;)

Kryo was saying in IRC last night something about the next patch being in testing, I think. If all goes well, I'd expect it this week.

[quote]One big thing that is missing in Bug section: Damaged groups of troops going to 1 after save and load[/quote] Already fixed, Boogie posted on page 1.

[quote who="mafavreau" reply="30" id="2748752"]What about Squads being cut down to 1 unit from a reload when said squad were recovering HP at the time the savegame was created?! That one is downright game breaking but I don't believe I've seen anything about it in the list!? [/quote] If you read above, you'll note that Boogie posted it's already fixed.

[quote]Memory Leaks On Win7-64 machines with ATI Cards... “Now that the game has bitten me, I am getting the 'out of memory' error on my very beefy new home rig. It's Win7-64 and an ATI card. This needs to be fixed.” “I started getting the 'out of memory' error after about 300 turns.This is the ATI+Win7 thing, right? ” [/quote] OOM issues are not exclusive to Win7-64 and ATI. The save I emailed you last night goes OOM on my V

Check out the mod library in the workshop ingame. Maps can get approved that way currently so people don't post them on the boards.

AFAIK, the "stacking" of tags is actually a bug that's being looked at. All the other data overwrites (which one takes priority isn't known yet), but the stuff inside the tags, which is basically all the damage numbers/calculations, stats, quest rewards, etc doesn't get overwritten so it ends up stacking. It's not supposed to.

[quote]Just to clarify: I meant speed up or slow down the time of the game. If I understand you correctly, I can only speed it up, not slow it down? (I'm old and slow: I don't mind if things are in slow motion.)[/quote] The slowest speed is.. pretty slow. You probably won't need to slow it down even more. But yes, you can only speed it up and back down to "normal", you can't slow it down below normal, but you can pause and issue orders which is arguably better. [quote]Do I und

[quote]I think folks are wel aware of the ability to get a refund, to point that out over and over is sillt. That is my point. I think folks make a LOT of valid criticisms and suggestions. To reply to those with the simple repartee of "if you don't love it then GTFO - SD fans only" is at best disingenious. This is a very very common fanboi policy - have the opposition removed; a purge if you will. Indeed, saying "i'm sick of all the whining" is whining in itself. let's get along and learn to

[quote]1. Good AI?[/quote] It's *pretty* good. Like any AI in any game, eventually you will find a pattern in how it behaves and will be able to exploit it, but for an RTS the AI is, I would say, pretty great. It actually was made easier in some cases due to player requests. Originally, for example, the AI was a lot more careful with its fleets. It would rarely attack a superior force head on, and would wait and attack poorly defended planets instead. But players didn't like that they

In the past they've sent out mass mailers at a "major" update or expansion. Beyond that, it's your responsibility to keep up with patch notes. They're not going to be mass-mailing changelogs with every update.

Not for a long time. At least a year, but likely a lot longer than that.

[quote]This. Exactly. I'm sure the millionth "I hate the game. Stick to your gamers bill of rights" post is The One that makes them see the light and do whatever it takes to make YOU happy. Tsk tsk.[/quote] And it's all idiotic, because as I pointed out above, Right #1 in the GBOR is to be able to return the game if it doesn't function up to expectation. But no, it's obviously more fun to troll on the forums about the non-existant "finished state" that wasn't in the GBOR for something

Your right #1 is to return the game. You should exercise that one instead of the continued whinery ;)

Yes.

[quote]Not yet. I could easily see there being 4 options available, but the hard part is actually making something other then hello spawn monsters, or hello you suck for saying no to this quest. In theory you could make a choice that grants you an permanent NPC, or kills you by adding negative HP (like the rat quest does upon clearing the nest). I might experiment with those at a later stage.[/quote] I actually decided a 3-option quest to see if it works. <p

You should be emailing [email protected] about a refund. Normally support could just send it over to the sales dept, but I imagine after the weekend they're pretty swamped and whoever answered glanced over it and didn't see an issue (since you did e-mail support and not sales) and sent you back a note asking for specifics.

Ah, that is an interesting mechanic. In that case yeah, I imagine you're quite correct on the roam radius :) Here's another thing.. have you gotten to play around with more than 2 choices of action?
