[quote who="Istari" reply="86" id="2757882"]Again, I never said that they cannot be affected by all the negative comments.[/quote]Can they or can't they? It's a simple yes/no question. Not "can" in the theoretical sense, but "can" in the actual sense. In your opinion, is it actually possible -- is there some even remotely likely chance -- that the sd team might let their work actually be adversely affected by unhelpful comments? It's a simple yes/no

[quote who="Istari" reply="84" id="2757702"]Instead, your mind fabricated a negative spin based on what can only be called poor logic.[/quote]I responded to what you said and I clearly quoted what I responded to so you'd see it. If you don't like how it sounds then go argue with yourself, because you're the one that said it. If you didn't mean it, then don't say it. If you don't think the SD folks could be adversely affected by unhelpful criticism then you'd not have fel

While that's not a specific statement on any beta tester (or any other possible contributor) 'blame', it subsumes it. That's not good enough for you?

[quote who="thespleen" reply="1" id="2757653"]Yeah man, I'm having the same problem. I want the leader to be my 'daughter' who is an adventurer and organized so that the entire stack uses her movement points, and she's also the one with the teleport spell. Instead, the leader is my warrior champion. We seriously need to be able to target dudes within a stack. And iss changing the leader of the stack even possible?[/quote]I experimented

[quote who="Novaburst" reply="5" id="2756953"]It is obvious the lower level teleport weren't meant to teleport the sov + stack. And only the later is.[/quote]Your perspicacity > mine, for that is not obvious to me. It's a good guess, but obvious? Couldn't the latter teleport be intended to teleport to areas outside one's influence, but previously explored? As a sorta-related aside: in 1.06 I experimented with the first teleport, and found a 'difficulty'. Apparentl

[quote who="Danners" reply="157" id="2757355"]Hi everyone. I booted up the game for the first time, updated to 1.07 and I have been playing the campaign just to get familiar with the game. I haven't had one issue until just now. I'm on turn 260 and all of a sudden, the game went from silky smooth to extreme choppiness, even in the option screen and main menu (the background scrolling was even choppy). I exited the game and restarted it. I loaded up my game and if I scroll or z

How is it that you managed to draw such a bleak and negative perspective from something that, (and I'll be frank here), droned on so inanely and repetitively about remaining positive and encouraging?[/quote] It was easy -- I read what you wrote in the post of yours I responded to. Specifically you wrote in that post: [quote]The negativity of these complaints can contribute to a decrease in the morale of the community and the development team, and

[quote who="Robert Hentschke" reply="177" id="2756684"] I'm somewhat concerned that a boolean value essence means that I will just imbue every champion because there is no longer a downside. It also removes a primary reason to be concerned about leveling my sovereign, namely that his essence is my only real source of more channelers. I'm worried that such an overhaul will remove one of the unique features this game has that actually works pretty well from a gameplay standpoint. I th

Thank you for your intelligent and well-reasoned post. Rest assured it will be given all the consideration it merits.</

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="241" id="2756284"]Weird stuff....to be honest, I thought that the vast majority [95%+] of the CTDs/mem leaks have been fixed for v1.0, considering that the beta team reported hundreds of different CTDs and/or memory leak related problems. It's pretty clear that the testers had all kind of computers and operating systems. Personally the CTDs reported by me [...at least 15, if not more] during the beta have been fixed...all of them. The last beta w

I haven't found a way. Annoying it is. It's on the mental list of things I need to add to a physical list of things to suggest be changed.

To make light of someone's firing and taking a potshot at Brad who has just admitted it was his responsibility is just immature as hell. You're a douche masquerading as a human being. See? Blind rabid fanboys who tell you they'll buy anything you put out even if its a dump in a box hurt your business. Then they get mad when you reve

I got a 1.06 game (large map, 5 fallen foes, second-hardest difficulty) and had a lot of luck with a non-melee, no normal troops, spellcasting Sov, many imbued champions (including my 4 kids), and as few cities as possible (settled only 2, the others I conquered). I made it a point to seek out and recruit any and all champs as a main part of the strategy for the game. The wife had the dominate trait (don't they all? ;) ) which was passed down to the daughters (no

It's only turn 100 at the most, large map, 5 fallen foes. All was fine, I saved for prudence's sake (she's particular...) and saving caused a crash (very similar to OOM crashes in 1.06 being instigated by saving). Had to use task manager to quit out of Elemental and the 2 popup crash windows. I am using the mod BugFix2.1for1.07 debug.err no crash report in program files folder

Having Minor Factions act like the Majors (but perhaps not expanding city number, etc, and just build up their one city) sounds great. The spellbook change is another thing. It's a very big change. There's a lot of very big changes. May I suggest not rushing in and making very big changes piecemeal, but instead take some time (fixing stability and the other things will keep you busy for a while) and consider all the potential very big changes as a group?
