I've had this bug since .952 and it might be known, but I haven't seen it included in any changelogs until now so here it is. I think it happens when an army has a destination but it encounters something on the way (monster, quest, goodie hut etc.) and then it gets stuck running in place in the tile where the action happened, with the old destination still set, but unable to move. The solution is to toggle Explore twice, then the unit stops running in place and

Released!
I agree with Heavenfall, if turn limit is to be introduced, an idea which I don't like, at least make it an organic mechanic, not an arbitrary number. You can improve it with technology, you can make a buff like Endurance, which increases turn limit by 50% for a given army, but this is a lot of work, and it has to be done if this mechanic is to be integrated into the game, and not be an annoying arbitrary limit to gameplay.
Is .981 going to be released today? I can play a few Demigod matches 'till then...
[quote who="KingHobbit" reply="45" id="3237060"]One of the things I don't like about trained troops. You can upgrade armor and weapons as they progress, but you cannot upgrade unit size. So if you have units that you have cultivated through the game, and have increased their armor and weaponery as needed, they still cannot add members.[/quote] But then when you add members to the squad, how do you explain them keeping their experience level? Say you have a level 10 3-m
[quote who="KingHobbit" reply="20" id="3236713"]are you going to address the Path of Governor issue. You need to level them up by fighting, but then they are not doing their job. Make a building to be constructed called the Governor's Office. You can assign one Governor to it, and they can experience while they are doing Governor work.[/quote] This needs to be addressed! It's one of the few issues remaining that needs to be addressed.
[quote who="parrottmath" reply="64" id="3235934"]Excellent, now unrest will fill the kingdoms of many.[/quote] Which makes unrest reducing buildings and spells useful. Perhaps also lower the mana requirements for Curse City and Bless City spells a little? That would make using them a viable option in waging an attrition war.
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="61" id="3235902"]Do it for mana too?[/quote] Ditto!
[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="16" id="3235461"]I've also seen the opposite. Place an outpost on a fertile land and had several of the fertile land tiles disappear.[/quote] I have also seen this.
Brad is on to it. [quote who="Frogboy" id="3234348"]I think I found the bug that causes this. Will be testing. It's amazing how something that seems unrelated can affect another thing.[/quote]
I can confirm this is still happening and is quite unpleasant.
This is confusing. Are you saying that creating tiles with yield is intentional? I've seen tile yields appearing and disappearing but it seemed random, so I couldn't report it because I didn't know how to reproduce it. If tile yields do in fact appear in healed land, then this should be better documented. They also seem to disappear if another city is settled a number of tiles away.
I have noticed this in .952 too. I remember wanting to report it, don't know why I didn't
Alarmingly stupid. The issue is also reported and confirmed here . A minimum 4-tile distance between outposts should be introduced for the AI, and also an algorithm to determine the best position to place one, in order to cover as many resources as possible. I'm sure it will be done.
This also happened in .952, but I thought it's so obvious it must have been reported already.

[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="8" id="3233052"]I'm pretty certain I recall seeing Brad comment that save games weren't completely compatible across betas. Personally, I would never assume compatibility in that situation with any game, but perhaps I'm just a bit pessimistic on that score.[/quote] Indeed. Very few games stop you from loading incompatible save-games, you just have to assume save games become incompatible after patching, unless otherwise stated. [
The AI does tend to sometimes randomly throw outposts, but this is absurd. I've seen the AI in .952 build 3 outposts near one another, when only one could have covered all the nearby resources. This should be a priority for Beta 5A.
It's common sense that you don't report a bug when playing a savegame from another version. Nor when you have modified any game files.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="82" id="3231554"]I think there should be a exponential increase in production per material for each level.[/quote] Yes, there certainly should be!
CyanPile , the formula to choose who to attack first in a tactical battle I believe is the same that was used in GalCiv to prioritize targets and is something like Total Attack / (Total Defense + Hit Points). The higher the result, the higher the target priority. Maybe someone can confirm this, I've only seen this in one post before. This formula wo
Yes indeed the tactical combat AI needs further refining, especially in the use of spells. It does tend to be quite wasteful of mana, with little gain. But this is the exact type of issue that will be addressed during the beta 5 period.
