i think ridicoulos means extremely heavy... and yes food is the most scarce issue in the beginning...that lets you look around for the best food spots... that can make the game very interesting or very annoying cause you spend lots of turns looking for food and cant develop your cities...
[quote who="nitey47" reply="64" id="2688678"]Quest system feedback. My opinion. Currently, I always seem to end up adventuring with my Soveriegn rather than hiring a Champion or if I do hire a Champion, I end up having him adventure with my Soverign. I think you need to find a good reason (beyond possible death) why you need to keep your Soveriegn closer to home or at your Capital so that players are encouraged to use Champions to adventure. Perhaps, only hired Adventurer's can acc
i think there is a civ3 mom mod...but havent played it
besides, my penis grenade launcher beats your glaive any time sir http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EdbhzLK7YCE/SYW1GdWTw6I/AAAAAAAABRc/H9gPg7ZQD0c/s400/tokyogorepolice.jpg
most epicst fail
and one more thing, i strongly suggest some sort of upkeep cost for spells and summonings - my suggestion wheter the mana giving "things" give more mana that you can splitt up onto mana pool/spells or studying (similar to mom but just with 2 pools) OR that they give 2 different kind of manas from the start - a study type and a summoning upkeep type... of course you could also use other ressources for the upkeep... but i would like such a option WAY more then the one where you
i am wondering if there is not too much... to many quests, too much loot etc... its just overvhelming...and honestly, with no game i had done so far i was doing a lot of questing... to be honest, most of the time i wasnt doing anything... the only thing i was focussing on is warfare and civilization...expanding cities, bringing them up, bringing ressources up, building armies, killing everything (while i started with some summonings) for me - bad balance between the techtrees,
one thing i a gree is that a child of a sovereign should be stronger then the sovereign so that you actually have a reason to produce children (also because they lack experience the sov has allready gained) - their attributes / skills should also depend on who the parents are...for example if sovereign is a air wizard and the mother is a water wizard then the child will be a even stronger water/air wizard and so on...
i also like to see a master of magic clone/mode - be sure to recieve my dollar if you come up with it [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
some feedback from my 3b games - i think there is way too much loot in the world...there is so much stuff lying around (and especially also popping up newly) that you hardly have the time to collect that all...and i really didnt care anymore... treasures should be something special, scarce, something you are really happy to find in the beginning because it gives you some starting ressources - as was in mom...i also dont like at all that new treasures pop up during the game...sometimes
the art work still horrible...looks like some kind of the settlers...
will it get out today?
city improvements could be unlocked after lets say finishin 20 quests, you can build a statue of yourself, conquering 10 neutral cities you can build a certain building etc.
possible city improvements empire: sacrifice altar: could give bonus to anything (through the sacrifices) maybe food or production or mana...or you could also actually really sacrifice units (or captured enemeies) to recieve anything...demons/other units etc. torture chamber: possibility to convert captured enemeis (requires that possibility of course) public execution place: reduces unrest in own / other cities (if there is anything like unrest of course)
[quote quoting="post"] it’s not so much Kindoms vs. Empires but rather Men vs. Fantasy races [/quote] aha, so the fantasy races are the bad guys and the humans are the good guys once again! I as a profound member of the alliance against stereotypic discrimination of fictional intelligent non human live forms (short AASDFINHLF) must protest here - this is racism in its most vicious way! I thought you developers have learned from your flaws since
is there any magic in the vids i did miss?
intentionally or buggy? also when i attacked a monster with a higher combat rating (often even if my group had the higher combat rating, if the diff was not at least 30%) they dont take any damage...
[quote who="Sushikawa" reply="2" id="2662560"] Quoting Nemesis7884, reply 1on the other hand, ive also seen some of these npc sovereigns being able to kill monsters altough their combat rating is much lower...?! Zerg rush. since sov's dont actually die if they have a city, they send them selves, adventurers, and peasants at the monster until its dead.[/quote] so monsters do not regenerate hp..?

but it happens with cities too?
[quote who="BernieTime" reply="132" id="2662454"] + Removed Ale from the game (thanks ESRB...) Why not change it from Ale to Cider? Kids can imagine farm pressed cider, Adults can imagine a fine dry cider like Strongbow. I dought the ESRB can say much about that[/quote] hardly doupt kids will play this game because a) its too complex b.) its 4x c) its too slow d) its no fenzy bum bum halo e) you cant do headshots
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="4" id="2661714"]As far as we know, in tactical battles each individual soldier will be represented. Frogboy specifically said in some of the earlier journals introducing tactical combat that he didn't want to see a knight with a number below it showing how many units of knights there actually were [/quote] okay...thats good, but still think squads/units should be represented together as a unit...like in mom or warhammer mark of chaos etc...
yeah, i recognised that too... also happens when building cities from time to time... i quite often happen to be suddenly (-) gildar because it substracts way too much (in the last case, had 900 gildar, cost 700 but resultated in -1200 or so...) this needs to be resolved because it is especially annyoing when you only earn 20-30 gildar per turn and are -1000....
i think there should also be several options on the same lvl - e.g. that are "equally" good, just in another way - one being faster, one being stronger etc... i want a lot of fluff options (therefore be able to choose differntly looking armor / weapons for the fluff without sacrificing performance)...moreover i also think every race should get specific skills/armors/weapons/fighting stiles/units/combinations that only they can use...
in tactical battle screen will a unit of 4 / 8 / 20 or however soldiers be shown as 1 single soldier or will the whole unit be shown? if the later, i think it would also be cool if you got certain benefits when trooping soldiers (independent if you stack single soldiers together or built a unit from the start) bonus if you stack a unit of a certain amount of soldiers (maybe 12 for foot troops and 6 for cavallery or so), like they get a morale boost, and also a flag that represents the unity o
