I don't mind that world wonders exist, but when and if you select one to build, it's construction should take up the ENTIRE queue. No other item can exist before it. Thus all the cities resources are dedicated to the endeavour of building it and you cannot 'hold' onto a wonder by keeping it further down in your queue. Don't want to build it yet? Going to have to give it up to chance that someone else will choose to persue it instead.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="9" id="3246039"]XP = (X)/(M)(.5) For Troops XP = (X)/(M) For Champions Made a slight error in writing the equation. I updated the post with the correct equation. [/quote] The problem here is that troops don't get rewarded for defending their cities. Thus, you are forced to take your exploritory force of heroes to act as your empire's patrol... IMO, any troop stationed within a city should: <ol

[e digicons]k1[/e] Having Tireless March stack enables your heroes to group together and defend your entire empire, whatever the threat. Troops are no longer required, which gives you more per turn gold, which allows you to feed your super force. It must stop.

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="14" id="3246766"] Quoting Lord Reliant, reply 11 After say, 50 turns, you can then recontact that civ for negotiation. You HAVE to be kidding. 50 turns? My average war does last a quarter of that. I doubt I have ever been at war for 50. [/quote] Agreed. I thought the 10 turns was too long.

[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="14" id="3245775"] Quoting Tuidjy, reply 13 It will not work. Until city defense is equipped with at least the second best gear available to the nation, it will be irrelevant. Rushing a side should not work. And the AI is terrible at using low end units. Even at ridiculous, it is not until turns 60-70 that the AI has a prayer of stopping a well crafted fighting sovereign. A prayer, not an actually cha

[quote who="CogBurn" reply="1" id="3246732"]I'd like a menu in the city management screens somewhere where you could choose two cities and click "build road" and then design the layout of the road pathway between them, and queue that road for a small production in the build queues of both cities (Just something in the 2-4 turn range, depending on road length). Maybe only if you have a path of governor hero in one of the cities or something. [/quote] Yep. This is a bullseye.</

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="8" id="3246736"]Fixed in the next patch. The exploit was that you could decalre war against weak players then force them to give you money for peace, repeat forever. The fix is a fairly simple one. From now on the "to busy" check only happens if you are at war. If you aren't at war then you can contact them as many times as you want.

[e digicons]k1[/e] Great post. edit: still a great post.

I agree with your over-arching concern that troop production is still being missed...not necessarily the way you attempt to deal with it. Imo, the techs, resources, and traits are what give your troops the uniqueness they deserve, and the edge you'll need to defeat other factions. I wouldn't touch that. I do agree that production costs are still too high, but the problem goes deeper than that: The city queue only h

"something most people will never do"? A joke? The authority with which you write does not correlat

Like the idea, all except the 'destroy all unrest buildings' . That seems unneccesary, especially considering the increased unrest penalty. In addition, that unrest eventually bleeds away; having unrest abilities only hastens it.

And some more gameplay: [Fix?] How come I can trade with sovereigns that have quit the game? Seems silly. Imo, you should be able to hire them as if they were neutral heroes.

[quote quoting="post"]Level 5-9 neutral champions require gildar cost and technologies. Imho technologies is excessive requirement. If you see champion and have enough money, you should be able to recruit him/her. It is annoying that you can't recruit champion because of you haven't specific technologies.

[quote who="Mistwraithe" reply="9" id="3245802"]Agreed on pretty much all counts, except I think all of the 8 items currently in the list are both serious issues AND within scope for fixing as part of the final beta. All of them are bug fixes or polishing IMO, just bigger or more important issues than the norm. BTW, I forgot but the Ctrl-N issue was included mainly from your threads (plus the fact that I was able to reproduce it fairly easily). Are there any other partic

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="55" id="3245954"]Is anyone noticing anything strange about the AI sovs Gold? I played a game last night, proof of concept kind of game where to put Golem gear on a Juggernaut, where after 100 turns in Tarth has 15,000 gold while only on "Challenging" difficulty. I assume they are rushing troops, as they have nearly and endless supply, and after another 100 turns of me doing nothing but defending against endless stacks, they are down to 10,000

I have it the opposite. Entire nations just drop the game saying 'it's too hard for them'. 3, 4, 5 cities and they're all just quitting.

[quote who="Mistwraithe" reply="7" id="3245759"]Hi GFireflyE, yes I had a look at your playthrough notes and think there are many good points there. However by and large I think they were smaller bugs and suggestions. These DO matter but there are many of them, Stardock are making steady progress on them, and eventually there is going to be reducing returns on the smaller issues (tho I think we are still some distance from there because of the sheer number of small/medium bugs which still exi
