E. Water walking would be a good spell. Units with the natural ability to water walk could be classified as swimming. I'm thinking sharks and stuff. Nice if the swamps get the added element of bogs (shallow lakes). There are a couple of classes of ships, specifically you have river ships (those with a shallow draft, allowing them to navigate the shallows of the water) and deep water vessels that allow navigation of the deeper water. There could be special beach tiles that

[quote who="seanw3" reply="5" id="3236002"]You guys should update the spell to open 100 demon gates across the realm. I did a little modding and found it to be quite fun on a large scale. [/quote] I think that this should definitely be a separate spell... Let the lords of chaos rule.

I think alot of players research civics first to get the ability to rush. With this they are able to push out buildings and units a lot quicker, while they spend time to research other things. I don't necessarily see a disadvantage in researching other trees first. The Merchant Bazzar 1 only allowed in the world. If it is in the que of another nation, you can't build it unfortunately.

I sold the game to a few of my friends with the promise that multiplayer would be added. Soooooo.... I hope that multiplayer becomes the next addition.

The strategy of being able to snake your city has been there for many other 4x games with single tile cities. Although there were drawbacks to placing cities next to each other, one can still apply the ability to gain resources from both places. This game offeres a unique way to accomplish the same idea with a single city. That is a clever implementation of a mechanic of creating choke points AND resource grabs AND highways. The strategy does not come from where to place the initial hub, but

It is my understanding that master scouts does not instill fear to a monster, but rather the people travelling know how to avoid notice of the creatures and lead the creature down false trails. So the pioneers would definitely be able to avoid the monsters and not get eaten. As for the cities, well given that one has master scouts, is it not possible for the monsters to be constantly led off trail away from the cities making them avoid attack consistently. What would master scouts pro

I perused the coreunits.xml and I agree with your assessment about the spawn rating. I looked at several of my games and it appears that the spawn rating is as follows spawn rating 1 : level 1 hero spawn rating 2 : level 3 hero spawn rating 3 : level 5 hero spawn rating 4 : level 7 hero spawn rating 5 : level 9 hero I looked at each of my maps (cheating of course) and could not find anybody with the hasessence tag.

Exactly. Of course, reading from the forums, I don't think there were too many people writing quests except frogboy. When we get to write our own quests we can populate the world with appropriately filled moral dilemma quests, which I do enjoy.

Depends if you took pleasure from the action you did. As it stands you are a bad, bad person. There is always an option to let him live, abandon the quest. Of course, the person who wrote the quest is baiting such people to kill said peace-loving Garrote. I think the person who hired you to do such an action is evil.
