You can't cross borders without non-aggression pact. Try to see a hero unit to yell to from the border :P

Yes I really hope we get an animation speed slider at some point.
Those minor factions don't seem to appear in the diplomacy screen, but you can negotiate with them by taking your sovereign there for a chat.
Heh, I often find myself staring at the screen waiting for something to happen. Then I realize it's a TBS :D Keeping an eye on the empire tree in the left side of the screen helps with keeping track of things. Quick look on the bars under city icons and you know who's doing something and who's not.
Well someone here stated that casting spells doesn't work so well if you're garrisoned. Have you tried moving out of the city and then casting?
I was quite sure I could build units without metal, but maybe I'm wrong. Here's another one. The Sovereign card (or any other really) don't update when you equip stuff to them (the picture and pose). This is probably a bug I imagine, but is there any way to force it to update in the current version? Yeah, Vanity is me.
Greetings, been lurking around here for quite some time, but now that I've been playing some I have some questions. 1. What do trade routes and caravans actually do? Other than make a road. City details says something like 24% trading with Blurmur, but it doesn't inform what that percentage is applied to. 2. Defense rating seems to improve both damage resistance AND dodge. Am I right? Highend there seems to be a lot of missing in combat. &
