Frogboy, I suggest a simple mana system. Mana is generated by certain buildings and shards. The player has three uses for mana. 1. Use it to cast spells: both instantly and over time 2. Use it to improve the amount of magic that can be used in a single fight. 3. Use it to build up a mana supply to use later. Researching spells has nothing to do with mana - except you can't cast them if you don't have enough mana and see the next

Part of the issue is how the AI builds cities at the start. They build a lot of cities and almost all of them ringing the human players first city. It is a problem for them long term as they do not build cities on a good location - they build them around the human city regardless of the terrain. This skews the AI play away from a successful strategy and forces the human player to focus on city position above all in the early game.

What works well right not: 1. NPC system 2. town building for the player 3. Wandering Monster system has moved from boring to very, very good 4. Overall stability is better 5. Money system is much better 6, Overall balance is better What still needs work: 1. Magic system is still too clunky. It's too hard to use and quite

I would suggest not going too far the other way. Some of the real fun early in the game comes from finding NPC's that are useful. Perhaps the higher level ones should be adjusted. At any rate the NPC portion of the game is very good. If I was to suggest improvements at this stage it would be to the magic system which is too cumbersome.

Unless I am doing something wrong Imbue land does not work either.

The patch is adjacent to the city and within its limits.

Beta 3A has several issues that may not be bugs but do seem to impact the flow of the game: 1. The AI for the other soverigns uses the same tactic in each game start. They build one city and then pump out pioneer units to found more cities. Almost always they very quickly surround the player's first city. I have watched these new cities and their tactic is also to pump out more and more pioneers. I am not sure that the gameplay will be helped by this type of a

Well done! So far 3A appears to be more stable and contain more content to test. Thanks for all the hard work.

Thank you. That helps a lot. Xaltotun

I just started playing the beta of EWOM a few days ago. Thanks to the posts in the forums I have sorted out most of my questions. However, there are two that I have not found yet. 1. How do you give items to another character in your party? I am sure I am missing something obvious here. 2. What is required for you to build a mi
