[e digicons]k6[/e] Best countdown vid EVER. You gave us beta testers all a solid look into our efforts and the results of those efforts in real time. But we all know that finding the problems is only 1%. The other 99% goes out to everyone introduced in that vid + all the others that weren't. Huge applause for your efforts!! Really excited for Oct 23 now!! ps. I'm a ctrl-N'er. :P Without 'snaking' to rivers and fo

[quote who="Satrhan" reply="57" id="3251728"] Quoting dangerlinto, reply 55 The problem, as I see it, is that mountains can't be crossed because there are no flying units and you don't have boats (or swimming units) yet the game insists on using lakes and mountains as internal terrain. Either you accept that you will continue to have this geography, and make lower terrain and raise terrain as accessible as it it now or you re-write the mapping c

[quote who="nemojohan" reply="6" id="3251726"]Great job, OP! Stardock should pay you for proofreading, preferably (since they allowed major mistakes remain this late in the game - pun intended), or have one of their own grammar aces take a really close look at every single line of text. Mistakes such as the ones you listed make for a very tacky impression. Regards [/quote] But they are paying. ;) In a way....they've hired us beta testers

Another option would be the 'mother-city' approach. Other than your initial city, A level 2 city can support up to 3 level 1 cities. A level 3 city can support up to 3 level 2 cities. etc. Thus, if you're empire has not developed enough to HAVE a level 2 city, than you cannot have MORE than 3 level 1 cities. This very simply forces players and AI alike to invest in their cities AND it stops pioneer spamming as we currently un

Remember MoM?? Of course you do... XD It crashed...especially with that Whirlwind spell...really touch and go. I guess what I getting at is: these crashes impact the game less that trying to cast or do something in the game. Most, if not all, are mitigatable. Ultimately, it would be nice if Stardock was able to flush out these last few...but if they do, it will be at the cost of balancing concerns...cause it's being released on Oct 23. The frog has spoken.</p

I was receiving this glitch whenever World Achievements were built.

FE doesn't use Steamworks, you can get it from Stardock and never worry about Steam. [/quote] While that's true, FE did make some arrangement with Steam. While I can only guess, I have a feeling that the Oct 23 release date is somehow connected to that Steam agreement. In the

[quote quoting="post"] *[bug] Highlighting Settle really needs to show the Zone of Control that will be used by the new city. *[bug] Switching between the cloth map and 3D is slower now. It's rather jarring. 3D view is flawless to zoom in and out (and very responsive now!) *[bug] The sound effects for clicking on each of the various research areas are nice, but the Warfare one is too loud and Magic is too soft [/quote] These aren't really

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="16" id="3251518"]It looks like you've tried to fix this by having everybody quick move to their places before I see them move. Ummm, no. That doesn't work. The same problems still exist. In a game last night, I had a guy moving one direction away from a monster. Then I decided to fight the monster so I saved my game and fought the monster and lost. I think I could have probably beat him so I exited the game and loaded m

LOLOLOL Maybe he's thinking 'career in circus' XD

Are we still giving out bug reports for gold? Or are no further changes going to be made?

[quote who="SOLOSOL" reply="6" id="3251245"]I missed them too, when in a game, I only found the first hero... Since then, I play with max number of heroes in world options. [/quote] I've been trying to avoid this in order to see when troops become any good. (haven't played 0.99 yet) I can see myself bumping heroes up to max in the world options too.

[quote who="Kongdej" reply="26" id="3251015"]Now that we are supposed to spam the raise/lower land, I hope there comes more attention to how it looks, thats why I currently have no problem with it Sincerely ~ Kongdej [/quote] I doubt any of that is changing. If the UI isn't going to properly show hills lowered when a city is built, (it is still a hill where the tile stats are concerned but looks completely flat land), I doubt more time is going to be

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="20" id="3250997"]You're certainly free to make the spell cost whatever you'd like. Personally, it's fun to use the spell. If it cost more, I wouldn't use it. If you worry you'll abuse it then increase the cost to 10, 100, 1 million or whatever it takes. [/quote] Thanks for making Stardock's offcial view clear on this matter. Pretty much settles any further need for debate. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] </p

Patience. for a developer, it is time to eat aswell.....or however that line goes. XD I did think it would have been out by now though...maybe they're busy abusing those low cost land spells. ;)

There has been a few threads on this already, but I've been morphing land to my liking, when needed, when the price was 50 mana per cast. At 5 mana per cast, this is going to be pure abuse.

OH yes please!!

Those spells shouldn't be lower than 25 per cast. IMO, 50 per cast was a really good balance. It was enough not to abuse it, but it you really needed it or wanted to gain a strategic advantage, than it was there to use. Players should easily have enough mana in the game (yes even Gilden) to use the spell at 50 per cast if they needed to. Afterall, that Alchemy spell is straight abusive.

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="5" id="3250079"]The random events I've seen so far are childish (to be nice) and don't seem to fit in the deep, dark fantasy game world the devs are apparently trying to create with the Elemental brand. I mean, rescue a Kitty??? Come on! [/quote] Maybe Stardock is just toying with us in the beta?

[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="48" id="3250221"] Quoting mqpiffle, reply 47 Quoting GFireflyE, reply 24I also agree with his 'Diplomacy' comment. In an RPG world, there should be interactions galore!! Stealing princesses and rescuing them. Revolts from a city as a new hero gets just a little too full of himself. Trades. Treaties. Backstabs. Plot. Plot. Plot. Granted, there is backstory to each of the factions...but HOW does that effect the gameplay?? I

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="277" id="3250194"]Have you ever used Lower Land? It takes 6-12 casts to do anything. So that's at least 30 mana. [/quote] 30 mana is nothing compared to the game breaking stuff Lower Land can do. I fully expect to pay 300-500 mana for the spell, and that's STILL a good deal.

I know this kinda drifts off topic a bit, but I really don't like that city ZoC overrides outpost ZoC, no matter the distance. 2 squares away from a city should be priority ZoC towards that city. 1 sqares away from an outpost should be priority ZoC towards that outpost. No city/outpost can be constructed in another faction's ZoC I've had situations where the city ZoC has been 4 squares away, and I want to outpost beside to h
