[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="1" id="3249885"]As someone who fondly remembers the time when Norton Utilities defined "small, efficient and modular" for the kids who had not heard of Unix, I hate what people did to Peter Norton's name.[/quote] Seconded.

The Slave Pen description says that it increases production and construction efficiency, yet it shows production per material staying the same, and construction cost discount staying the same.

I have the tech to automatically build roads between towns. I have towns on the north and east side of an approximately rectangular lake. Magnar has a town on the south side of the lake. I found a town on the west side of the lake, but instead of the automatic road being built between my town on the west and my town on the north, the road to the new town is routed through Magnar's town on the south. Is that the way it's supposed to work? Makes the roa

Somebody else reported this in another thread and Derek said he fixed it. We'll have to wait and see whether he fixed it correctly, or whether the errant apostrophe is still there.

If you hover over the henchman types in the unit design window, you see the exact same description for all three of them: Shieldman and Torch Bearer both say "Bard's level and use ...". First, Sheildman should say "Shieldmen level and use..." and Torch Bearer should say "Torch Bearers level and use ...". Second, Bards should say "Bards level and use ..." - Lose the apostrophe

[quote who="Mistwraithe" reply="13" id="3247093"]There are quite a number of issues like this where the game just does weird things. I'm sure some of them are a byproduct of the game being so heavily multi-threaded. However there are so many strange things happening in my games that to me FE has the feel of a budget or unpolished game. Its completely unrealistic to fix even a majority of the little bugs people are reporting but I'm hoping Stardock will focus on the main issues which g

Same game, second wildland cleared, same result, the quest won't complete. This time it was the scarred lands, where you have to defeat Morian the Ruin of Summer. Defeated all monsters in the area, defeated Morian, got the heart of Morian, but the wildland won't clear and the quest won't end. Here's a pic to show that all monsters were cleared: Having hit contro

Do you mean that you bring up the city details window while the build menu is showing, then hit the "Done" button on the details window? If so, I've seen that also, and agree that it could behave in a more friendly manner. By exiting the city detail window and leaving the build menu up.

FWIW, in my current .983 game, Altar lost 2 towns to a rampaging troop of bears. OTOH, an Obsidian Golem seems to have wandered 25 tiles away from its start without hitting any of the 4 towns on its way.

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="1" id="3245716"]Are you sure that there isn't a city within 8 tiles of that 'special' tile? [/quote] That might be it, there's an Altar city about 6 tiles away from where I think the special tile should be.

When I last completed this wildlands, which I think was in .981, there was one tile deep inside the walls that was buildable, something like 4 food/3 materials. When I settled a town on it, the wildlands cleared and the quest was over. In .983, there is no buildable tile inside the wall at all. I've cleared all the monsters and goodie huts, but because there's no buildable tile there's no way to end the quest.

Has anyone been able to build Hosten's Library in .983? I researched the Higher Education tech that makes it available, but it doesn't show up on the build list in any of my towns. I hit control-U to see the whole map, and none of the AIs have started building it.
