Is the Quest screen going to be improved? Need better way of organizing the quest such as a completed section and active section. Also better descriptions as to where the quest is located would be nice.

I have a question, I've been playing for a couple of days without a crash (yah!!!!!) Now when I go to design my own unit sometimes they will be a male and sometimes a female, is there a way to choose this? I have not found a way so if I'm missing something please let me know thanks. If there is not a way then I would like to suggest allowing us to choose the sex of the unit.

I go with scale as you zoom. What really looks bad it the naval ships on the map. they look too big.

[quote who="Sylenall" reply="441" id="2691413"]Did you play Sins of a Solar empire? was that boring too? I've played plenty of RTS that were great(total annihilation, WiC, etc). I dont even see how "zerging" or rushing would even apply to this since the game as a whole is TBS, and what we are discussing right now is the Tactical battles portion, so all unit production/ "zerging" would need to be done in the TBS part of the game regardless of whet

[quote who="Sylenall" reply="435" id="2689828"]So have all "real-time" elements been cut(from tactical battles)? I'm far more familiar with rts than tbs. I just dont get how "massive" battles are going to be fought on a tbs system. Then again, the only tbs warfare game I've really played was the Advance wars series, so maybe someone could enlighten me? It just seems like tbs + lots of units + huge battle would take *alot* more time and mana

[quote who="Nemesis7884" reply="69" id="2688788"] Quoting nitey47, reply 64 Quest system feedback. My opinion. Currently, I always seem to end up adventuring with my Soveriegn rather than hiring a Champion or if I do hire a Champion, I end up having him adventure with my Soverign. I think you need to find a good reason (beyond possible death) why you need to keep your Soveriegn closer to home or at your Capital so that players are encouraged to use Champ

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="120" id="2687348"] Another thing that has been mentioned here is the "General" or "tactics" ability that lets you place units before battle. AoW didn't have this and it was maybe the only drawback of the TC in those games. It should be in, in one way or another. I disagree. This system adds little value if the game already smartly positions ranged units in the back and melee in front. This feature could be "cool" in some higher end battles,

I like what I read. Sounds more like the AOW:SM system (which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.) I would like to suggest one thing about unit placement when you first enter tactical combat. The one thing I did not like about AOW TC was that you could not choose how your units were placed on the battle field when the TC started. Often your healing and archer units were right up front and they were easy to kill in the first round. Now realistacly you would put these units behind th

When I finish a tactical battle where ome of the champions or Soveign gains a level it immediatly goes to the level up screen from the tactical battle screen and sits there.

In order for me to leave this screen I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL then end the game. This does not produce a zip file as wouls an actual crash so I cannot

[quote who="psychoravin" reply="62" id="2683162"] For starting play, you should be able to pick a limited number of spells based on a random group of common spells (and a couple uncommon for higher Int or whatever) according to your spellbooks.

We have to do something with the stat (starting spell points don't count) - and, really, it would be nice if casters had another stat that directly affects spells, so they just don't stack lots of int.
