When I first encountered FE and played the beta for the first time, I realized that Stardock had created a 4x turn based game that finally addressed the issue of making the beginning of the game less boring and rather interesting and not just a turn push for the most part.

There is a building called the adventurers guild that provides 1 xp per season (even they say it is a 1 in 4 chance, I never found that to be the case). You would have to play a modded game to gain xp while in town otherwise.

Many business contribute by providing infrastructure to the local community at no cost to the community. Namely, a

Is the crash you get with the slavers quest consistent (can you reproduce it each time) or is it only sometimes its occurring. I've got a minor change I'm going to do with the quest to see if I can fix it, but I need to know if you crash consistently with that quest. Here is my tweak https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75549875/Fallen%20Enchantress/Quest

[quote]3. Introduce an after comma digit for crystal resource income.

[quote quoting="post"] A while back, you guys put the yellow outline reminder on the turn button for idle cities. That was great! Now, can you do something like that about cities that have essence but no city spells on them? I CONSTANTLY forget about them and miss out on optimal play because of it. The game can check if you have any castable city spells and empty essence slots and show a similar or even same reminder on the turn button. <br

I've read through the article and sadly... I was not represented as one of the archetypes that played the game regularly, or I did not recognize my archetype in the descriptions. I played magic quite a bit, but I only played decks that had a lot of little creatures, nothing big, I'm talking 1 / 1 or 1 / 2 creatures. That was all I allowed in my deck. I centered around white magic mostly and had the most fun playing these games. If I won fine, if I lost great. I never play

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="15" id="3366148"] I have not yet come across it yet in LH, but I don't think SD has fixed it since FE.
