[quote quoting="post"]You can turn off the point of interest icons by type. I turn them off on the monsters because, well, I really don’t need an icon to tell me that it’s a monster. But I keep them on goodie huts and on NPCs and Quests.[/quote] I do, sometimes pygmi bears is hiding the forests, and comes out to eat me!! (I am actually serious, some monster icons are REALLY small and hard to see :)) Sincerely ~ Kongdej
[quote who="Lantros" reply="23" id="3167782"]I play games for over 20 years and no game was perfect. In my opinion, beside the citybuilding/managment, everything is in the right place and "only" needs tweaking, balancing, bugfixing. [/quote]Sadly thats true ^_^, but thats no reason not to want more tweaking to tactical combats, and no reason not to try and reach out for perfection xD Sincerely ~ Kongdej
outposts should just cost 5 gold to put up, and 0.1 gold per turn upkeep, nothing restricting but you wont spam them because youre silly... meaby 0.2 turn gold upkeep, thats my thoughts anyways. Sincerely ~ Kongdej
[quote who="Naidrev" reply="5" id="3167526"]As it stands now, it seems like the developer's original idea was "The player has to defend their borders, so you can go wherever you want." But then they realized this was not very fun (and frequently frustrating) and reached an internal compromised that "Well, the player can make them leave if they want to, but we still really like the idea of having to defend your borders." The problem is that this just creates needless busy work and is not f

[quote who="Takao21" reply="14" id="3167328"]I wish there was a way to make distance between 2 cities would scale with the map size. That way we can do away with city spam on large maps. [/quote] Then what is the point of large maps O_o Sincerely ~ Kongdej
[quote who="OrionM42" reply="17" id="3167300"] Malsqueek, with regard to your last comment: "That is all just about what toys we get to bring to the sandbox. The Sandbox itself is pretty well perfect." Well said ! I agree completely. [/quote] I dont :( Sincerely ~ Kongdej
[quote who="joasoze" reply="7" id="3167035"]How much faster is healing in cities?[/quote] To my notes, you heal at twice the normal rate. Aside from special buildings or enchantments, but in any normal city. Sincerely ~ Kongdej
[quote who="sratner" reply="2" id="3166837"]How about while casting a spell? Right now my caster happily interrupts his casting animation to counterattack, then returns to pondering about that fireball.[/quote] I do that all the time myself!... oh wait >_ Sincerely ~ Kongdej
[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="11" id="3167112"] Quoting BlackRainZ, reply 10 This is just simply not true. I have a decent system but it isn't top of the line. I played the original Elemental with the map generator that was made by someone and I set it to the highest settings it could go. I played 800 turns on that map with absolutely no problems, no slow down. I can see problems with a real weak system but anyone with a decent amount of ram and a decent video card would most li
[quote who="dctrjons" reply="5" id="3167024"]AHH, just had an idea... why not a pop-up after a trade? You have learned X points for tech A, Y points for tech B....etc. Just to help since...for one you may not have initiated the trade so you may not have had the idea to check your tree out before hand...and you may not know what tech they have available to trade.[/quote] very neat point and a fantastic idea, let the game show me what exactly I got from my trade. Sin
Personally I have a big theory about game design and how it could change, I think it would benefit the game to have more "wildlands" which I am to travel, instead of having to travel through hostile country borders. On the flipside, there should be treaties that allow or help me travel through other players borders, the diplomacy options for this is very rigid ATM and I miss an option to ask for my sovereign to travel through a piece of land in a certain manner. All up to the
You all talk of dwarves and hobbits, I just want more monsters, spiders, golems (gollums) especially golems!, fantastic mounts like drakes and lizards more readily available (lategame meaby). Might be me but that is one reason I liked Master of Magic that much, all the game was made up off "fantastic creatures" Sincerely ~ Kongdej
[quote who="Malsqueek" reply="15" id="3166773"] Quoting JMiddleton, reply 13And I'm still playing on EASY - hats off to those who can beat this game on HARD! I'm finally starting to accept the fact that the "No Taxes until you are out of money" and "Use your early mana income to boost production and research" strategies are essentially required for any kind of start to completing with the AI. Try those and you should be competing pretty well on normal or challenging in

[quote who="Malsqueek" reply="7" id="3166529"]Also noteworthy... It does not appear that city debuffs go away when the faction who cast them does. Who is paying that 19 mana per turn upkeep?[/quote] The mana of the world is... =) Sincerely ~ Kongdej
Cant say I like C) or D), but I do like A) and B) I remember playing age of wonders using the B) suggestion, gave some completely new decisions when attacking. Also B) would make them rework the combat maps, and that is a much needed fix ^_^ Sincerely ~ Kongdej
Nice thinking! I still hope they give me a switch to turn it off though, I want to see my enemy's movement! >_ Sincerely ~ Kongdej
[quote who="Murteas" reply="1" id="3166076"]If you have any other tech/buildings that reduces the cost of heroes, (like the adventurers guild) it will cause this problem. It is a bug. [/quote] this is why I run natural leader with cruel xD, gives +1 damage, and -50% price on heroes ^_^, they might want to balance that out at some point tho. Sincerely ~ Kongdej
No the AI is a pain on this subject, and I hope we get a fix at some point, cause its frustrating the hell out of me that borders are no where near sacred, even if the AI don't even want a war. Sincerely ~ Kongdej
[quote who="Malsqueek" reply="3" id="3166472"]I think that the points get evenly (or randomly?) distributed among all unresearched upgrades that you have the capacity to research.[/quote] It is research points redistributed "randomly" (seems random anyways) in the certain tree, if you trade for magic knowledge, it is research points redistributed in the magic tree. This is to replace a tech trading system, and I am happy they got this idea, because when you know how it works i
To add something to my last reply, thats hard... Meaby im being too much of a critic but I hoped for more ^_^ I will be grabbing something from sean, and that is I really like to see the unique units pop up, making the game feel more fantasy like, and magic like, like having golems in your army, and spiders to help you. Doesn't translate very good into custom factions though. Sincerely ~ Kongdej
