[quote who="Frogboy" reply="28" id="2834653"]BTW, we are eliminating the food requirement to build a city. We have come up with a different mechanic to address "city spam".[/quote] Well i will be updating then my post accordingly when the new mechanism arrives. Meanwhile thats the best i can offer them to get past the food problem and enjoy the game ^^ Althought removing food requirement from sttlement will certainly lead to 3 hut cities which will boost tech adv

[quote] Perhaps if food wasn't such a limiting resource, we wouldn't be having this conversation. The current beta build is completely unenjoyable due to the need to literally count beans. bean counting only in beginning imo--once you get rolling it isn't that much of an issue... check out the post below--this guy seems to have NO issues with ANY resource. Late Game Fun and Working Mechanics[/quote] Hey thanks i am becoming famous here

[quote]After finally loading the game, it took me awhile to get over the initial excitement of seeing what you set up. I spent time just looking around. Right now, I can't decide if I want comment on it or go back and play. Impressive work--thank you for making me feel inadequate Seriously, I have a much different perspective of possible game play. So, you purposely kept all AI's alive, all quests and achieved that?? I love the sov & faction--especially the city keepers & beasts wh

Once you have the egg go back to the lvl4 place you took the quest. And once you have all 5 forge pices go back to the place you took the lvl 5 quest. Hope that helps :)

nah not really. you only need 2 huts per city and research housing +10% 5 times. thats it all your cities will go lvl 5 this way ^^

Well everyone gets those, we make some patience till devs fix those. Lately they have made some good steps into making the game stable. Go out with gf, find a good restaurant, then walk together to the shore till they fix it is a good idea ^^

[quote who="DTOM" reply="5" id="2833970"]I won my very first game by diplomacy and another subsequent match. I see a wide array of feelings toward my kingdom from he various factions throughout the game. I had to make an effort in a few games to keep my alliances to a minimum so I could win by the spell of mastery, master quest and another by conquest. I have found the game fairly easy to play with a particular win type in mind. I alwa

Just load it and you will find your self at the point i saved last time. Got i think 10+ lvl 5 cities, all teches and arcane, plus a full production and army build, but world is still unconquered. All AIs are still there, same as quest. You can test pretty much everything you want there by the times, full mana poll also and well i think you will never need more gold wheatever you build or train for some reason, just crazy production there. Sovereign speed is at

Actually i agree there is barely any need for transport. you can easily terraform your way to the next island and attack the enemy lol rather than making a transport to move them over and have to find a beach to load unload them. I previously didnt really had it in mind but when i realised i found out that is way easier to just terafform mountains to land and sea to land for more space, better caravan routes etc and even build mountains where you want monsters and enemy to keep out :p

[quote] After everything else, now not being able to install this game for over a week due to the download service being out? This is now enough to officially move me over to GOG for all future purchases. I will take files that I can store myself and use when desired, thanks. [/quote] You still not able to install? Are you sure you do it right? Problem was fixed 2 days ago i think, you should be able to install everything corr

an easy way is to research caravans-trading in first couple of your research and sign a non agression treaty for almost free with everyone you see as starters. either way first 99 turns go way fast unless you gonna quickly attack a town of them and so on. By doing that, till the Non-aggression treaty is finished you will probably got the trading and tech treaty also by then. Since their relation to you would be nice by then since you had a treaty, you wi

Erm seriously now how can you make enemy nations hate you? I personally find the opposite difficult. I mean none of the opposite factions ever dropped below close relation to me except if i declared them war. And apart of that i never had one declare war on me and i was of the opposite thinking that the AI is too peace loving in this game for my tastes and way weak even in hard+ difficulty ^^

Rofl not to mention that Vista is still a beta in my view :p

Also athought the v1.1 is in beta, i personally recommend installing it if bugs bother you, its less buggy than the stable version ;)

I just found out this thread after already posting the save elsewhere also ^^ So I will just Quote it again: :) I know many of you have been furstrated in ,been able to check how the game is at late stage. Also most of you tried trial and error methods to find out how the game works, their mechanics, the equipment to experiment with, designing units, learning spells and how those spells work, having dynasties build up, dress up heroes, check what cities improvents t

Well previous versions has a turn counter, which i cant seem to find in the beta anymore, but it certainly took me couple of hours to reach that point. No crashes till now actually which is quite suprising, only sometimes when i try to load a game when an oither one is already running in the background (eg go main menu, while playing an other game and press load, only in that instance till now). Hope you like my sovereign and faction btw ;)

I know many of you have been furstrated in ,been able to check how the game is at late stage. Also most of you tried trial and error methods to find out how the game works, their mechanics, the equipment to experiment with, designing units, learning spells and how those spells work, having dynasties build up, dress up heroes, check what cities improvents to build, where and how, which place to teraform to bring space to a town and many other things etc... I have

Well actually he probably meant all in strategies not meaning the terrans in this sense. I find it easy to kill any terran, also scouting and keeping protoss at bay preventing them to acquire new resources if you want to win at all times, but actually hard to go against zerg, they just spamn and spam units and i am overwhelmed till i get my first colossi out to keep them at bay.

They are not merely peasants. They are commandos disguised as peasants that came from a future timeline and wear invisible suits lol. Thats a new game content ^^

I agree with your view. I think they should really emphasize in the bugs section first and there will always be time to add new funtions and game improvements later on. But if they have a game that half the gamers cant play without a crash every 30 minutes or so, then there is really no use for new content, rather than make the game really stable. Either way they know well that achieving game stability will free their hands and have plenty of time of bee

Where the caravan originates and is going to is available in beta i think and not in stable edition. Now why you cant build caravans, its seems that you cant in the first turn you build a city for some reason and in 1.08e i also had problem giving me the correct numbers of caravans available. Still in beta its one of the things that is fixes and you can have 3 caravans per city from the start.

Just give them some time. They try to fix those things. I am furstrated also to say the truth, but is not like they are not trying. Their major crashes are usually caused by the save/load process of the game. In previous version it was the game usually crashing while you were saving or usually while the 3rd turn autosave came up. Now on this version it seems the saving is fixed, but now there is a problem they seemed to missed whil

Is it my idea or is the most important Talent when you build a new Sovereign for your own tastes missing? Yeah I mean the "Organised" Tealent, it seems that devs forgot to put it in the list of selection, any ideas why is that?

How can you update to beta guys, now that this problem exists? I have 1.09e and want to get the beta, but it only gives me the latest beta that is not downloading. Any help there please?
