And we got people saying that Stardock doesn't listen to the players enough. Doesn't surprise me that someone else would say that they listen to them too much. The truth is probably somewhere in between.
Plenty of time for sleep when we're dead.
I've encountered this alot in the v1.1 betas. Its happened in a variety of situations. I haven't noticed a pattern. It happens when I have remaining movement points, and when I have none. It happens when the unit is the last to move or the first. It may be that only certain quest huts cause it. Will pay more attention to it in the future since I see that it's not just happening on my underpowered computer.
Has anyone seen any faction other than the Ilyan Orekeepers? I found mention of other minors when digging through the game files. But in game, I have only seen the Orekeepers.
Don't know when last you've played heyhello. Alot has changed in a short time. There have been some significant changes to tactical battles since v1.09e. Dodge was introduced and refined. Equipment values have been tweaked. The infomration we get on hit/misses/blocks has been improved. We get some pre-attack information as to max/average damage, and max/average counter attack. Some performance issues have been addressed. Some ani
Where you playing as an Empire? Habitation is an Empire tech so it should only work for them. I first realized this a few beta versions back. lol I did this in a bunch of games before I finally happened to check my "completed research" list and saw that a custom tech was missing. EDIT: I think it's just a failure to properly inform, Cerevox. And an aspect of the UI which needs refinement. The faction spec
[quote who="jprcompain" reply="37" id="2846528"] 2- It is certainly very very welcome to see FrogBoy extending long hours of work at the office for answering posts concerning Elemental. But why not having 1 voice, and put "kael", who I thought was the main designer, in touch with players? Perhaps Brad should seat back and relax, and let a co-pilot do his job and communicate. and get immersed in the game?[/quote]I am glad to hear from all of them... AnthonySalter,
The Habitation tech (Proper Living) is for Empires only. You've choosen to play as a Kingdom, so Habitation is unavailable. Unfortunatly we aren't told this when making a custom faction. So I've posted a list of which techs belong to who... link .
I'm finding a significant decrease in the "just one more turn" phenomena as well. To the point of losing my will to play. But it was there in spades for v1.09e. I love this game and am very much liking the changes. I am more excited for the future of this game than I have been for any other game! But once I've started a new game, and have begun exploring, I consistently lose the motivation to play. I get excited about playing, but that interest is quickly l
Yes, units coming out of a city now have movement reduced to that of the slowest garrisoned unit. This isn't detrimental to my fun like the barren maps are. I am forewarned and expect it now. It's just odd.
[quote quoting="post"]Submissions are being accepted until December 13th, so start submitting![/quote]This made me think it was open unitl 12pm EST of December 13th. Is it possible that the submission form has been accidently closed too early?
You can also right-click them at the leader picking stage of a new game.
I just find it odd that at the begining of a turn, when no unit in the group has moved, that all units are still limited by the slowest member. When units break rank from a group which hasn't moved, I think each unit should have all of their movement available.
Shoot, I thought today was the final day for submissions. I finally settled on a temporary stat booster for my entry (Empower: 50 mana to grant +5 to a target units stat for duration of tacticle battle). Good luck all! I'm looking forward to seeing the new spell.
If you have any reservations, how about a v1.091 Stable release? It's just numeration, but with the initial rocky release, the .1 series may be of increased significance to some. It signifies that the 1.0 series is "fixed". Perhaps release what you've got as v1.091 and publisize this as the last step, in a series of steps, before v1.1. Ask the people for their feedback. Once again put it out there that this OUR game and that Stardock seeks player
Great works you've all done Frogboy! Thank you for your dedication to our game, and for exceeding my post release expectations by a long margin! It makes me feel good in a world of cheap swag that some guys still care about product and the end user. Is anything happening in the sausage factory as relates to resource spawns? A number of us have commented on a fun drain caused by the lack of resources + the proximity of opponents. Recently I
[quote quoting="post"] Put the spawns back in friendly territory, please. Find another way to make them less appealing early-game (more pre-techs for example).[/quote]Indeed! I think it goes beyond the tech spawns though. There is some serious map scripting work to be done I think. How about techs that allow percentage modifiers? Everyone can see the resources, but get only marginal (if any) benefit from them until they research the applicable tech.&nb
I might have spoken to soon. I've gotten the tacbat crashes again. But something occurred to me. Starting around v1.09p, I started purging my Race folder and deleting custom sovereigns before playing a new build. A series of rapid fire versions have been released lately, so it might be the folder purges that allowed me to play the tacbats? So I went and deleted my custom factions and sovereigns and started a new game ( creating a brand new custom fac
I started another large map with 8 opponents. Didn't have anyone in the 15-20 range this time. But didn't have any resources either. Nearest resources were once again at my neighbors capital. Was just a bit further away this time. This isn't good. This is a big problem. I think v1.1 needs to see a fix for this. I think this fix supercedes feature lockdown. The resource situation makes the game hollow. Despite a whole
I posted a thread with a little bit of information regarding the techs. Each of them grants a free tech. But they are faction specific so if you choose a Kingdom tech but are playing as an Empire, you won't get the tech. More info is totally needed. And they should grey out the options that don't work for your choosen faction.
[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="5" id="2841814"]This is what it was. I knew there was something related to the sound levels that the options weren't working on. This isn't as simple as a line or 2 of code (those scenes play outside the typical process) so it can't get through lockdown. But I have it on my list for a future fix. [/quote]As a temporary measure, is it possible to just reduce those sound levels ( independent of user settings )?
At the victory/defeat screens, the music level ignores your settings. You can get blasted by a high audio level.
I just rolled a large test map with 4 opponents and this time didn't get a neighbor. But there was a resource cluster right about where a neighbor would be. The cluster was two shards and a fertile. Had it been a fertile, 1 shard, and a gold or something, I wonder if an opponent would have spawned there? Makes me wonder if we get the near neighbors because resource clusters spawn near us? If the cluster is choice enough, an AI is spa
In recent game after game I have opponents within 15-20 tiles of me. I waited to report until I was certain there was a pattern and it was not anomalous. Trying to get free of the crowd... Game before last (v1.09r) I rolled a large map with 8 opponents. I was sandwiched between two factions no further than 20 tiles away. This last game (v1.09s) I rolled a large map with just 6 opponents yet I find one opponent 15 tiles away ( from
I didn't get the game until Nov 1st. So I haven't played any builds prior to v1.09e. With version 1.09n I was still crashing more tacbats than I could play. I'm not sure in which version this changed. Once the new versions started spawning less resources, I found that I wasn't compelled to play as much as before. I didn't mean for that to happen lol. It's just the way it was. We've had a furious flurry of updates lately. I didn't
