[quote who="Thiryn" reply="17" id="2886276"] Quoting AlLanMandragoran, reply 1 Thanks, Brad. One thing that might help improve the look of cities in EWOM is to randomize or give control to the players of which directions buildings face. I give credit to Heavenfall for the original idea as I remember the post somewhere. You can already change the direction in which buildings face: you have to press shift + Mouse wheel up/down whilst placing a buildi

[quote who="Warhead_se" reply="341" id="2886193"]How can I increase my mana generation? I'm halfway through a game, and does still only genererate 2 mana/turn. That makes magic quite useless, since I only can keep up two enchantments and gain no mana at all, or have no enchantments and gain 2 mana/turn.

Nice job! As Cartman would say, kick ass!

I tried to get Brad, Toby, and Kael to friend me on Facebook, but they were too smart for that...how did they know that was step 1, and step 2 would be me standing outside their window holding up a boombox, proclaiming my love by blasting

[quote who="krisslanza" reply="339" id="2885239"]Quick little question here to spare a useless thread creation. I forget the name of the Kingdom at the moment (and my game is updating) but I recall one of the bonuses being you could design male and female soldiers - does this mean other kingdoms cannot design both genders and are restricted to, I'd assume, just male soldiers? [/quote] Correct - only Tarth can train both.

Sov is stationed in city food2. Cast return from inside of city - doesn't work. Zaps my mana 20, appears to nuke the sov and garrison unit, but then they walk right back into the city. Repeats from exit and reload of save. Something is not right with the mechanics. If I walk outside city and then cast it works fine.

[quote who="davidjc_af" reply="1" id="2884396"]I predict absolutely nothing will be fixed. I predict the OOM CTD will still occur with a great vengeance. I mean they fixed the portraints with the ast patch right? As Borat would say NOT! I was so disheartened by the fact the portraits are still doing the same thing if not even worse. So I don't expect much, I expect fancy patch notes and the same problems as before. [/quote] Let's be real: they've fixed a ton of stuff.

Brad - thank you. It is posts like this which reaffirm that our time playtesting the game is valuable and heard. Love the dialogue and open communication! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Doh! Been a bit busy the past couple of days so haven't had a chance to play more turns. Planning on taking Friday off so I think I can get some more updates out this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing what's going on with the west side of the map and conquer Umber. With all the available land to settle on the east side of the continent I think I'll be set up to roll the west side quite easily. Time will tell!

I second this - have a thread on it somewhere.

This was a weird one. Went AFK for a bit and it apparently kept recovering and failing. Could not get the game to come back so killed it. http://pastebin.com/uvCQMU5s
