In 2A: [quote]+ Right-clicking on an NPC now talks to them by default instead of attacks them[/quote] Here are 2 cases where right-click causes the selected unit to attack a recruitable NPC instead of talking to them, even though the mouse icon shows the "talk" graphic: Example save: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8067364/Beta_2a/B2A-ERR-RClick-attacks-from-city.EleSav <stro

I agree that champions feel a little "gray" right now. They have unique backstories, but the only thing that differentiates them in terms of gameplay are the initial stats (+prestige, +movement, ...). Champions would be much more interesting if: They didn't all level via combat. Merchants might level via attachment to caravans (mentioned earlier) or settled in cities with markets (i.e. "running a shop"). Farmers might level after being stationed in a c

[quote]2) MOO2 has a small random factor to the research. I just think it's a nice touch and again makes research feel more real. Plus it keeps you on your toes a bit more. All good things in my opinion.[/quote] Random in what way? I haven't played MOO, although I've heard that it's "quirky". I'm guessing you don't mean random chance of rare techs, which already exists.

Currently, when you click to move a character, the camera automatically re-centers on the character and follows him until he stops moving. This makes managing multiple characters/cities painful because it's natural to switch from char1->city->char2 as soon as char1 starts moving. Even worse, edge scrolling is disabled until the camera is finished auto-following. You can't even pan over to the next city/char that you plan to work on until the selected character finish

Using the save below: Load the save. Move the sovereign (selected) once. He moves normally (no Quick Move). Click the city icon (in tree UI). Hit to return to sovereign. Move the sovereign again. This time, he moves with no animation (Quick Move), even though it's disabled. Notes: If you repeat these steps but replace step #4 by clicking on the sovereign icon inst

In 2A/.803, rotating the camera with the middle mouse button does not stop the cursor from moving with the mouse. This causes sudden edge scrolling while rotating (when the cursor hits the side of the screen). With a high DPI mouse, this happens nearly every time. I'll be rotating around my city and suddenly ZOOOOOOOOOOOM the camera is halfway across the world. I don't remember seeing this in the previous release (.802), but I may have missed it, as I didn't rotate

In the default backstory below: There's a missing space after "Friends that who caused" "that who" - The "that" should be deleted. "befall upon" - Should be "fall upon"? This sentence sounds awkward: "And dreams of a glorious kingdom with overlooking seemed more real than life in his village." The word wrapping on line 5 looks like it's 2 characters too wide (probably applicable to the wrap width in general).

If you click-and-hold on a color, then drag the mouse over other colors, the selection "X" appears in all of them, but the X'ed colors aren't actually selected. Example: Custom sovereign creation Go to pants. Click on the "Main" color box (opens Color Palette). Click and hold on one color, then drag the mouse across the rest of the palette. The result is below. Notice that th

The Reactor UI used for multiplayer seems a little "clunky" and intrusive. Suggestions to streamline/cleanup the UI: Login: Hitting in Password box should be the same as manually clicking "Login". Having to type, then switch to mouse just to hit "Login" is annoying when it's standard for to do this. Login: Add option to remember username/password. Chat box:</str

Are you supposed to be able to Save+Load a multiplayer (1vAI) game? I tried this, and after clicking Load: It took ~5 minutes for the "Creating World..." bar to go from white to full grey. After this, it stayed at full grey for another ~5 minutes, after which I Alt-Tabbed and closed the game. It had to be closed via the Task Manager because closing the window did nothing.

After razing a city, the city icon is not removed from the left side of the screen. Also, mousing over the icon continues to show data for the nonexistent city. (Clicking on the icon takes you to the demolition site) The SS doesn't show the cursor, which is hovering over the last icon on the left (the razed city "Ramuest").&
