Shame .77 was out before you posted this. But good work anyways I guess. :D

[quote who="Krantos" reply="4" id="3070231"]Still not convinced it's cumulative in .77. My champion just took about 5-8 hits to take out a Guardian statue in one turn. Also some scrap golem groups have taken a similar amount of hit, but I've still one-turn killed them.[/quote] Did you start a new game? Otherwise its loading the old xml like wom always did.

Just to counterpoint some of all this negativity. I think its fine as it is with the random choices. However some more rare options tied to an individual path would be nice.

[quote who="CdrRogdan" reply="9" id="3069916"] Quoting taltamir, reply 8 Rest of the time I relied on my move 8 to get to where i needed to be. While I am the same way (I see no reason to waste mana). This is clearly an issue with moves being much too high. 3-4 Should be the travel speed limit, perhaps with effects that reduce travel on hills/forests. The majority of talents/gear/spells that effect move speed should affect tactical moves only. Even 2 moves is plenty

Odd, i've been getting my 4-5 hits usually with maul weapons.

My biggest complaint against these epic monsters is their vulnerability to AOE. If they take up multiple tiles, they eat AOE effects for each tile they are in. I killed that plagueland one who is vulnerable to cold with one instant cast blizzard on the first turn.

Gilden got wiped out by either Magnar or Monsters dont' remember. But I found this outpost of his in a prime spot. Went to build there and even though hes dead, its stopping me from building there. Also since I can't declare war against a dead player I can't destroy the outpost. Heres a screenie: [img]http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/8497/tbuild.png[/img] I can provide a save file if you need it too if this isn't a commonly ran into issue. &nb

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="2" id="3069297"]How do you do it? For the life of me i cannot find out how to upgrade. I can build destiny guards, horsemen, archers etc. I still have a lowly militia here but I cannot see where i have the option to upgrade it. ( I have about 1200 gildars in bank ) [/quote] click the little arrows up next to the powers (additional options), or sometimes its on the bar itself depending on how many options you have there.

[quote who="Sarudak" reply="6" id="3068046"]Maybe Gilden should get a unique mana -> metal spell.[/quote] Might not be a bad idea. Though as I have thought about it more. It does cost Resoln wraith race one of their traits for these spells. So maybe give resoln a different trait, make the spells baseline for them, and then do similar to the others?

As far as your side note goes. you are pretty much just arguing semantics. Its the same thing at the end of the day.

This is followed by Kraxis wiped out on turn 58. This time I was paying attention and he was taken out by monsters and ruffians. Is the AI up to handling the more aggressive monsters? [IMG]http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/7853/kraxisnext.png[/IMG] 12 turns later another one dies.... [img]http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/4724/gildendead.png[/img]

So turn 11 in my new game of 0.77 and Umber is dead at the start of turn 11. No clue what happened... But yeah stone cold dead. Challenging difficulty, normal monster count. Large map. All factions included. [IMG]http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/7643/umberdead.png[/IMG]

You are also kinda being a nag.

Level 1 and 3 champions are recruitable without any technology. Just like before it was lvl 1 and 2 champions. The other issue you are having I'm not sure about I know they can be attacked. But it seems odd that he was lvl 6 before. Unless as you mentioned maybe he started as a 5 but killed the stuff attacking him and leveled up. Monsters can lvl up in the game the same way so why not neutral heroes I guess.

There is actually 2 city spots in it. (well there was in .75 I haven't had the imperium playing today)

In regards to the monster and the settlers on the same patch. That has happened to me too. What happens is if you select a tile to move to and the monster selected it also then you both wind up in the tile. It doesn't automatically start a fight if you are both in the tile by accident. Only if one of you attacks the other does it start a fight. coincidentally if this happens you have to move outta the tile to start the fight with the monster. You can't engage with you both sta

[quote who="Dreadcough" reply="7" id="3066939"] A solution to this would be to make the early tactical battles more involving, like i've mentioned a hundred times already on these forums. To just have a bunch of melee enemies run at each other on maps that all look the same just shows a lack of imagination. Make the factions much more different and force the player to use different approaches vs different enemies. there are a few signs of going this way, like spearmen bei

Alright so I been thinking. Resoln is unique with the additional spells Cersea gets. I would like to see something similiar implemented for each of the factions. Its really made playing her stand out. Unique spells like Dirge of Cersea are fun and once again made the faction stand out. Even if you don't have time to make them for each faction. Maybe at least make some for each race. Wraths have the additional spells already, so just do some for humans, troggs, etc?<

Despite this I have noticed the AI still builds its cities pretty close together compared to mine. I think part of that is they tend to build square cities. Where as I tend to stretch mine out to bring resources into the city walls.

Challenging difficulty, large map, full player count, dense monster populations, random map, normal everything else. Playing as pariden. Turn 256, lvl 14 almost lvl 15. I would give you a screen shot, but I don't know how to take them in the game. LOL. So I dunno? Its my first game of .76 though so maybe its a fluke? I'm more concerned about that fact that both soveriegn and my caster hero can throw out free blizzards thanks to talents, and the mantle of tides s

So found one undocumented change so far. And for the better I think. Cities must now be placed at least 9 tiles apart. It was 7 in [.75]. Anyone else find anything?

[quote who="Dreadcough" reply="8" id="3066942"] also remove Derek as lead designer, with this he's shown that he doesn't have the creativity to create new game designs that are revolutionary. [/quote] Maybe you should just remove yourself from the community?

it was like this in .75 as well. Guess its lower on the priority of fixes.

to expand on what beardydan said. I had one map where I had to wander round for close to 20 turns before I found a spot I could settle. It had spawned me no where near fertile ground. This coulda happened to the ai as well.

Traits for units are already tied to warfare technology.
