[quote who="Stmorpheus" reply="1" id="2775057"]hmm i understand why they did the food for gold. but i think it could be implemented a bit different. [/quote] i don't. only a moron(or a large plantation owner) would build a merchant now. it is just not worth the cost.
[quote who="Stmorpheus" reply="42" id="2775050"]i think what we have here is a bunch of people that got used to a mechanic/exploit and now its gone they are not happy. if the CTRL + M cheat still works, thats a way to get all the money you want fast. its pretty simple to me, if you want more gold, then explore a bit and find MORE gold mines. also, if your neighbor has a gold mine, then fight him and take his. this is what the game intends for you to do, not suppl
now if ya'll would just lower the cost of STICKS(staffs) from 90gp to say...1gp, i would be thrilled. take all the gold from the game = suck. take all the gold from the game + make ALL shop items cheaper = effective balance (considering AI limitations).
[quote who="Istari" reply="94" id="2774978"] Since there will likely be a slipstream update on this, there are two routes this can go. 1. The previous behavior can be used such that higher quality NPCs cost more or 2. The UI informs the player they need a higher level adventuring tech to recruit them. Do you have any preferences? [/quote] i vote 2. that would give a more visual use to that tech.
[quote who="Stmorpheus" reply="30" id="2774938"] well personally "hundreds per turn" doesn't seem very balanced in the first place. also the monsters are used for leveling up. i thought everybody was pissed that game was to easy, now its getting more balance, is it to hard? [/quote] was refering to later in the game after having researched the appropriate adventure tech. but anyway: did i forget to mention that i still was never able to equip al

[quote who="Istari" reply="22" id="2774898"] It was not intended for players to fund their economy via monster farming. We do have an option to turn off animations in tactical battles but it was not checked-into v1.08 in time for the release. [/quote] @Istari for the record - I do appreciate the quick response.
[quote who="SirFlak" reply="18" id="2774885"]Yes they made the monsters worth less but they made it very likely you'd have a gold mine right next to your start area so I feel like that balances fine. [/quote] 5 gilder per turn balances out the loss of hundreds per turn? how? i know the nice stardock person said monster farming was never meant to fuel an economy...but then what IS supposed to fuel the economy? and what is the point of even having monsters now? </
[quote who="Jusfury33" reply="19" id="2774886"]O don't even know what to say. The whole reason for ME. Buying this game was the Multiplayer option. Now that doesn't work. By the way I followed all of the prevoius post tips and it still doesn't work. I even reinstalled the game. I like STardock but this game is pissing me off. [/quote] download the beta now. then bitch later. i suppose they could
ROFLMAO. maybe he meant it was slated for Qatar? or maybe an ancient Babylonian liquid measure equal to the volume of a cube whose dimensions are each one handbreadth in length? Quinolinic Acid? Quantitative Autoradiography? Queue Arbitrated? QEPIC AFAIL? i am sorry. it is just so horrible. and at this point, that makes it horribly funny.
lol. some people miss everytime and others hit every time. random number generator broke much? QA! [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

[quote who="Jusfury33" reply="11" id="2774836"]Am I the only person that still can't play multiplayer? It says to check a box on the impulse settings. I did and it still doesn't work. WTH?!?!?!?!? [/quote] just a guess: 1.08 1.08b edit - i say "guess" because it is a 2.2gig download....and i am just not down with that.
there have always been champion NPCs. just another variety of monster.
the point is that hunting monsters is now pointless. it was bad enough before due to the slow pace of tactical battles. i stopped playing this game 2 weeks ago because i was sick of spending so much time on a single battle. now the reward has been drastically cut? absolute bs. now there is no way to fund an army or equip your champions. maybe i am wrong. maybe they added something later in the game to compensate. i will never know, becau
start a new game. magic seems to be teh pwnage now. which is cool. because the game is called war of magic. but other changes seem to have made game worse. 75% reduction in gold from monsters + no ability to speed up tactical combat = 1.08 FAIL
decreased amount of gold from killing monsters to the point that hunting them is no longer worth the time. great.
[quote who="Kuriostone" reply="64" id="2774741"] Meanwhile, Planescape:Torment evidently has a massive collection of user patches and mods, so I've loaded up that old chestnut. To paraphrase Ravel, what can change the nature of a game? [/quote] that was a great game. maybe too great. i remember my ex girlfriend gettting mad at me and breaking it...

[quote who="Gravedancer" reply="56" id="2774697"] /facepalm You can't grab 20% of the changelog and deduce where their focus was. Without tracking the time spent on each particular item on that changelog you can't make that determination as to where the focus was. The flaw in your approach is that the total amount of time spent on the 19 items you picked out may have only been 2 hours while there could be another entry on the changelog list t
1 food for 1 gilder? 1 gilder for 1 tech point? organized takes 20 out of 50 points to obtain? no change to the tedious slow pace of combat? boo.
is it just me or is this not on the list for 1.08? i give up. game is unplayably tedious without this. I hope everyone else enjoys waiting for this game to be finished. i am just going to call it a loss. peace out yo.

careful when you retreat; i lost two champions because their morale dropped to the point that i was unable to move them because everyone else had retreated before them
