[quote]the left vertical side of the screen showed many different icons for both my character, Relias, and the Bear Cub[/quote] That shows you, from bottom to top, which units will have the next action.

If you selected your city, you should have seen him stationed there, as my city garrison is shown on the right hand side of

Good question. I've only cast the spell of making once, and didn't pay attention to the progress bar. Anyone else see this?

[quote who="Lord Cobol" reply="1" id="3097759"]And on my system both kinds of magic bolt shoot in from the left side of the screen instead of coming from my unit. Anybody else ?[/quote] I have occasionally see this in FE (it was very common in EWoM), but most of the time it works correctly.

I'm on Win 7 64 bit, with 8G, and have had no problem with alt-tab whatever. I did on EWoM, but not on FE so far. And I'm constantly alt-tabing in and out of the game to check on these forums.

[quote who="relmich" reply="2" id="3097556"]maybe I need to reinstall...?[/quote] I don't know. I did the patches like you did, and mine looks like this: But if a full install worked for Valca, I'd give it a try.

[quote]The clothing I choose for character and unit creation usually has descriptions like 'noble cloak, dark' and 'noble cloak, light', but the appearance on the screen is the exact opposite of the description.[/quote] That's been a minor irritant to me, also.

IIRC, in addition to having to have the shards, there's a tech you have to research that allows you to build 4 or 5 buildings (sorry, not at the right computer right now to fire up FE and check), and then you have to build those buildings. After that you can cast the spell.

IIRC, someone else posted that this could be caused by applying the 0.86 patch on the 0.77 game without applying the 0.85 patch. They downloaded and installed the 0.86 full game to fix the problem. Could this have been your case?

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="25" id="3096543"]It isn't random. They ate all the black people first. See any black people in Elemental? Nope, cause the racist bears ate them![/quote] No, that's not it. They're wandering around, searching for champions with eyepatches.

[quote who="Stupidity10" reply="2" id="3096413"]It has been stated that there will be some kind of pre combat unit placement in the release version, they simply havent added it yet.[/quote] Good news, it is needed. Thanks.

Here I am, having just completed an awesome early game battle with a Forest Drake, leveling my sovereign up to level 7, and then innocently clicking on a tile to select the army's next destination, when CRASH! dump file is here. debug file is here.

I gave this a thumbs up when it was suggested in another thread, so I'll do it again here. If I already have a town with a farm and an apiary, I don't need to select a bakery when leveling up. But if the town has no other food resource, I might want the bakery. Just one possible example.

[quote who="Nathan E" reply="3" id="3095014"]Try zooming all the way in and then hovering over that tile, it might say the right thing then. The hover info is sometimes imprecise when your zoomed out.[/quote] I did that, it was still wrong. Unfortunately I don't still have the saved game, so I'll watch for it in the next game I start.

Sorry if this is off topic, but it might be related. I don't recall this happening in .77, so it might be new in .086. If I have an army, and select one of the members (to examine its stats, for example), and then forget that I have it selected, and right click on a destination for what I think is the whole stack, sometime that selected unit moves by itself, and sometimes nothing happens (always if the unit has no movement left, and sometimes even if it does). Once thi

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="7" id="3094945"]Yes, unless they've fixed it (I don't think they have AFAIK).[/quote] Thanks, I think I'll start a new game, then. And not start one of these quests when I know I'm going to have to quit before I can finish it.

I've seen a number of goodie huts left untaken by the AI, but I don't get what you're saying about the diplomacy AI. I've had the AI offer me trade treaties, and offer me money to go to war with other AIs.

[quote who="CdrRogdan" reply="1" id="3094712"]Let me view my cities before choosing a city level upgrade!![/quote] I agree with this.

[quote who="ambidexter235" reply="1" id="3094709"]If there was some special on a forest tile eg: champion camp, loot, or lair but that structure was cleared then the underlying forest will not be drawn again.[/quote] That may be, but in this case there was nothing on that tile to begin with. The same game had hills that looked like plains, I just didn't take a separate screen shot.

It's been a while since I did this quest (in .77) so my memory might be faulty, but if I remember correctly, when I returned to the original quest location the blade did change to a druss blade.

[quote who="kapeman" reply="2" id="3094592"]If my understanding of the issue in question is correct, the way FW works is you have to have an upgradable item on the unit to begin with, i.e you can upgrade from leather to steel, but not from nothing to leather.[/quote] Yes, that's the way upgrading works. At least that's the way it works in beta 0.86.

I had a wild lands quest last night, but after I saved, quit, and then restarted and reloaded the game, the quest did not show up in my quest log (either on the left of the screen, under the cities, or on the quest tab of the Kingdom Report window). I wonder if that will make it impossible to finish?

There was a bug in 0.77 where if you cast 2 spells that both required charging, the casting of the second one cancelled the first one. Perhaps that wasn't fixed correctly?
