Besides, to add to Archon's statement, shouldn't defensive units -be- hard to hit? That's kind of their hat, after all. You need a offensive powerhouse to overcome them and probably other tactics to go with. As for such creatures early in the game... avoid them. You're not going to be able to tame the wilderness in one fell sweep. Some things you will simply need to avoid until you're more powerful. And this is where level 1 cities can be useful - helping to tame the wilderness and pr

Kudos for the apology though I don't think it's really needed. It -was- a pre-release version and it was known that you guys would be doing a launch day patch. Picking up on that was as much their silliness as anything else. Though for the general nature of it all, it is rather unfortunate that developers can step away from games but games do not step away from developers. This sort of situation where a developer can't say anything for fear that it will be taken without any real resea

Ah, thanks for answering. Yay farmers! Not sure on production though. I didn't see it any of the info screens so I'm guessing it's unit and building production?

Damage is equal to attack roll - defense roll. So with attack 10 against defense 10, no special modifiers, it would be 1d10 - 1d10 => damage taken. Less than or equal to 0 is zero damage. It is possible to roll 0s as well as the max.

Try sending in another support request. Make sure it's the right email. Make sure it hasn't been sent to the spam box. PM Frogboy himself on the forums. I understand that you're venting but blowing yourself up on the forums is about the least productive thing you can do. You just piss yourself off more while not actually progressing the issue.

It may depend on the champion though. Some like administrator and farmer say "...to the city." not to mention that an across the board 10% boost to production or food would be really really good. An equally interesting question though is if abilities stack - if you have two farmers, do you get 10%.

You can connect a bank account to your Paypal account. If you do so, then Paypal can draw from that bank account when there is no money in the Paypal account itself. You can do the same with a credit card. You will have to make an account at Paypal directly and do it there for security reasons.

If an attack is of the same type as the armor is optimized for, then the defense roll is automatically the best number. If it's a different type, then you roll as normal.

It's implied that they've attracted refugees to do so in the first place as they've been searching for fertile ground. It's like Waterworld only... not.

1 point of def over 10 gives you a 10% bonus. Basically stat modifier equals (stat - 10)/10. So if you have a 10 attack weapon with 15 strength, your total attack (if you're just using just the weapon) is 10 x 1.5.

Haven't gotten that far yet. But note that coastlines are not normally walkable - you may need to 'raise' the cliffs in order to truly connect it. If you have grids on, you'll be able to see if there's a square or not to walk on.

Basically, it saves you about 15-20 turns for the more expensive items; things you couldn't get right away. And it only lasts a small period of time before better stuff is available. While this could be a nice short term advantage... it's expensive to do that compared to taking other benefits which are longer lasting and potentially more significant. Now if they were 'pack' items like the scout pack but only for sovereigns, that would be interesting (and not take up an item space). Some of th

1/2 don't really stop steamrolling. They just make it take longer - after all, even if it takes a few turns longer to get to a city, you still have 20+ units ready to steamroll a handful of defenders. It's just a matter of attrition because as long as the defender really can't harm the overall strength of a stack, that stack remains equally powerful no matter what the bonuses the defender gets; in most cases, if a giant stack gets to a city, that city is already lost. As for the

Maybe something like... The primary city of a resource gets all the benefits of it. Other cities in the empire also get the benefits of the resource but at a reduced rate, quality, and quantity; so cities without direct access might be able to make a derived unit but it would take longer, cost more resources, and only support a small amount. The primary city can, however, send out shipments to other cities, allowing them a temporary boost to production until they use up
