[quote who="Tasunke" reply="32" id="2750076"]I think Run speed and Attack speed (stats only affecting tactical battles) should be flat out separate. So, even if we still have only 1 pool of action points, Run speed makes travelling cost less AP, and attack speed makes attacking/ countering cost less AP.[/quote] We've been saying that since this system was announced a year ago (back in like beta 1). That's just not the direction they want to go.

[quote who="mbrown3" reply="8" id="2749949"]You're nuts. I keep getting my ass kicked, no matter what I do. I've finally gotten to a point where I've at least gotten a decent game going, but there are still times when my entire force gets obliterated in a single battle. Crazy stuff. I don't know how it's so easy for you. What settings are you using (I mean, what "race", attributes, etc.)?[/quote] Go down the warfare tree until you get squads and the big maces (the ones over 20 attack)

Option 3 is my preference, and similar to suggestions we had in beta. But they really didn't want the overland speed to affect tactical speed.

Right now I don't think constitution does enough to be worth buying. It only adds a couple HP, with no particular scaling. Considering what the other stats do and how hard units hit later in the game, it's pretty insignificant. This also contributes to the problem of champions being fragile in late game, because even if you dump five levels of points into Constitution, you're still not clear of being one shotted by a squad with maces. So, a couple of suggestions: 1. Change the

If it attacked *you* and you got penalized for that, it sounds like a bug of some kind. Attacking the wandering people is one thing, but being punished for something out of your control (like a mob attacking you) is pretty silly.

[quote who="Nick-Danger" reply="255" id="2748972"] I thought the old adage is "Never get in a land war in Asia". Or is it "Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker"? [/quote] Pretty sure it's "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!" :)

it's a problem with the damage system and champion HP, not spells. I mean I had a unit last night with 13 attack and 17 defense (and 9HP because I recruited him), get killed in one hit by a unit with 9 attack. He didn't even get to counterattack. Damage scales up way too high relative to HP, and defense is unreliable. Fix those problems, and the spells scaling won't be as big a deal.

[quote who="Serkon" reply="4" id="2748882"]I hate when the AI makes a stupid choice, and gets their sovereign killed early, thus eliminating the faction. This is too early in the game to really have successors too. In AOW, sadly, the 'leaders' never really moved off their capital city. In MOM there was no physical manifestation of the wizard, just a 'capital city'. However, If in the mid to late game and I am out to conquer a kingdom, I have usually prepared with a big enough army/

[quote who="auboy105" reply="52" id="2748810"]Another desperate plead for Sovereign Death = Game Over Options! A solution for one of the biggest game gripes!!! I just always hated it in any game (AOW, MOM, ) that when you killed the enemy leader a whole enemy empire suddenly vanishes! Some sort of successor or heir takeover would be great!!! This would be a balance to using, risking, and losing a powerful leader is that the successor or heir wo

First review has been written, and it's 93% from PC Gamer. Also, here's more info about combat. And - some social policies. I saw a note about resources too. A node of say iron will support some numbe

Supposed to be this week. It was always "next week" when they were talking, which was last week.

It's possible to mod in items that can do it, as the stat DOES exist. Nothing uses it yet though. Make sure to post a suggestion about it. :)

Oh it changed? Missed that somehow.

Boogie was posting this morning in other threads. He's probably busy working, and Brad is on vacation. :P

[quote who="fatindian" reply="121" id="2748363"]dragoaskani seems to think that gaming "journalists" from big sites have some special skills that make their reviews more relevant than anyone else's. Gimme a break. It's probably the opposite since the publisher ad revenue they generate makes their credibility suspect compared to a 100% independent reviewer. IGN is a major gaming review site so their reviews are automatically more credible, right? Redu

Adventure techs can let you find more gold mines. Civilization techs include things like the bazaar and the mint, which dramatically boost gildar income in towns that have mines. Making your town bigger and choosing the gildar bonus also increases it. IIRC Caravans (a first diplomatic tech) increase income. Killing monsters also yields gildar. Your best bet is to try to find a spot with some mines, plop a town there, build every gildar improvemen

I saw popups in 1.06 saying "new monsters are in the world, be careful" both when I researched it and when I didn't. That might mean someone else researched it, I'm not sure. The new resources and quest locations are only visible if you have the tech yourself though.

There's an RSS feed of the Dev Journals, where patch notes and news on major updates are always posted. That's your best bet.

Here's one. There's this too: https://forums.elementalgame.com/394104 I don't think there's a comprehensive known issues list on the forums, but there's a few themes in the ideas forum so you can get a feel for what people think the issues are. edit - damnit, third is what I get for typing more. :P

[quote who="Kemsley" reply="20" id="2748060"]I love that when a game is released unfinished and buggy that the folks who can run it say "Chill out and stop crying", good for you that your having fun but a lot of people arnt. I dont hate Stardock, i dont hate brad and i dont want to return a great game. What i do want is that a product that i purchase has a reasonable chance of actually working, i dont feel im being a troll or a cry baby. You folks goin "Waa waa waa they cant make it wor

[quote who="alborrelli" reply="19" id="2748052"] It's almost as bad as the billion "OOM" threads people make... lazy bastids. [/quote] To be fair to the OOM people, anybody who includes a debug.err file while doing so is providing useful information to the developers even if it'd be better in a single thread. At least they mean well. :)

If you want really good performance right now, enable the option for Cloth Map Only. It runs a LOT better on the cloth map. Granted there's no eye candy, but it's fully playable that way until they get performance improved.

Cannot wait to see the forums explode again*. * not that they have stopped yet[/quote] Maybe the explosion itself can explode and we'll get an implosion?

[quote who="OliverFA" reply="27" id="2746877"] Well, maybe DLC is a more marketable way of doing what I was saying, and makes more sense. I understand that people's reaction at first is "What? They want me to pay again for the game?" Of course not! Is not done in that way. If a company charges you a lot of money for unpolished games, or dor DLC packs with absolutely no content, people will stop buying sooner than later. DLC is just a way to continue improving a game with new contents as
