[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="10" id="3235195"] Quoting Kantok, reply 9 Not much of a racial ability if the people of the race don't benefit from it. But it would fit to the small unit approach of the faction.[/quote] No, allowing smaller trained units to benefit from it would fit that approach. There should be no tie to heroes or sovereigns.

[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="5" id="3235131"] I would go one step further and remove the protection from units, too. Only the Sovereign and Champions should be protected.[/quote] Not much of a racial ability if the people of the race don't benefit from it.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="5" id="3232595"] Great idea. Not sure if they have time to implement this in there.[/quote] There's no release date yet. Regardless how they fix it, this is one of those jarring things that really leaves a bad taste in your moth when it happens. It is invariably a "What the fuck?" moment.

Got kicked out of another faction's territory and was teleported from #1 to #2. There were many more logical options for places to dump my sovereign.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="16" id="3231713"] Awwwww yeh! Shouldn't stuff like that be in the changelog? [/quote] Taken from .98 changelog: [quote quoting="post"] The city levelup window shows the cities stats so you can make a more informed decision when picking your improvement. [/quote]

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="76" id="3231532"]Hmm. My understanding is that the 3 turn requirement isn't in Beta 5. It was still in the Beta 4 series because we had just transitioned from the population model. But in Beta 5, I think the only limit is that you can only build 1 unit/building per turn max (i.e. no MOO building of 742 ships per turn).[/quote] Beautiful!

[quote who="AMDG" reply="68" id="3231467"] Quoting Heavenfall, reply 66What do you want exactly? Rebalancing heroes versus high-end groups, no 3 turn build/train limit, more unique buildings per faction like the scrying pool, the dinasty system enabled, better road building, random spells like 3rd book of the magi always in game ( like A Dance with Dragons in WoM ), no identical quests in the same game, more aggresive monsters, the ability to recruit high-end m

[quote who="Jafo" reply="26" id="3229039"] Quoting Kantok, reply 19I believe Aston Martins should be priced at about $15,000 so I could afford one. Those evil greedy assholes and their $240,000 price tag. Their greed is keeping me from what I wannnnttttttt!!!!!! I'd rather they were closer to 5 ....so I could buy a few of them....[/quote] Now you're just being greedy!

It was fun for one play through. Haven't loaded it since.

[quote who="kona0197" reply="17" id="3228877"]Well I think my biggest point was that the iPhone is too expensive. All Apple products are. And the cell phone plan is too expensive. Things should be a bit more affordable instead of being driven by greed.[/quote] So Island Dog understood your point perfectly. It was just a bad point. I believe Aston Martins should be priced at about $15,000 so I could afford one. Those evil greedy assholes and their $240,000 pri

[quote who="kona0197" reply="13" id="3228582"]Island Dog you missed the whole point of my previous post. [/quote] Can you explain your point better? I took your post to say exactly what Island Dog did. In the US at least companies don't charge any more for an iPhone data plan than they do any other smartphone. And the iPhone prices are roughly in line with any other super-phone at release.

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="8" id="3228309"]Looks like HTC and Samsung are suing Apple over the iPhone 5 using LTE: http://androidandme.com/2012/09/smartphones-2/samsung-htc-to-block-us-eu-sales-of-iphone-5-using-lte-patents/ After Apple won that suit against Samsung, I'm not surprised they're firing back.[/quote] Apple just won another BS patent case in Germany for rubber-banding on list scrolls. I hope the LTE holders sue the iPhone into oblivion. <

What a great idea.

I don't understand the people who think mods available at release is somehow a bad thing or indicative of a larger problem. The beauty of mods is that they give the players choice. Maybe I don't like a particular design feature that the community or the devs love. Mod it away. Does that mean the underlying game is weak or poorly done? No, it just means that my preferred gameplay is different than what the devs have in mind. The game that

[quote who="Raledon" reply="49" id="3227432"] That's it. Nothing really important here. Leveling the city to 5 is nice and helpful, but it's in no way close to having a material/essence rich city. Heck, 0/5/3 is the best possible location I can think of with a sum of 8 points, by far. Regarding the flexibility of Essence- I believe it's actually a problem. Essence bring more than the other resources, and has the flexibility issue, with little to no cost. I do

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="26" id="3227468"]Meh, the iPhone hasn't interested me for years. The software has stagnated, Apple's walled garden completely turns me off from their products, and I personally hate their polymorphic design aesthetic. The iPhone 5 didn't show anything that made it a must-have besides making the screen bigger (which, if you'd look at Android and even Windows Phone 7 phones that have released in the past 2 years, a bigger display is nothing spe

The hero/army problem is something that can definitely be worked out in Beta 5. It's all about finding the balance between leveling, troop-dependent research, gear, and maintenance costs. There are plenty of very simple (and very bad) ways to make armies more desirable than heroes. It's not a problem that requires new systems to solve. The difficulty will be in balancing the two existing systems so that they feel like a real choice. Right now the

[quote quoting="post"] What do you think will be included in the new phone? [/quote] A handful of features that have been available on Android for a while now that Apple will market as if they are suddenly revolutionary. They will claim that they were developed solely in Apple's secret basement laboratory which you may not know rivals the Manhattan project for scale and scope. One or two interesting features that market really well but in reality do

[quote who="TAOCuathon" reply="27" id="3226953"]Someone telling me they don't overestimate their capabilities is meaningless. Of course you don't THINK you are overestimating them. Still good luck, I am a space junkie.[/quote] No different than you THINKING they do overestimate them.

[quote who="TAOCuathon" reply="13" id="3222234"] How much actual programming have they done? Do they have a working engine? Are they going to make alien races that aren't just anthropomorphized earth animals?[/quote] You do realize that at some point in the development of every classic game we each individually love there was a point where ZERO actual programming had been done. There were months were they did NOT have a working engine. And anthropomorphiz

I've always wanted to take people with office jobs that complain about hostile work environments on a deployment with me. Life is all about perspective.

If you give me all the details of the games you are trying to name I'm sure I can come up with a good lawsuit free name. [e digicons]O:)[/e]

I see several problems with trained units as of right now. They all boil down to one simple idea: The game has huge incentives in place for basing your military power on heroes/sovereigns over trained units with no counter-balancing features in favor of trained units .
