I also would very much like to have a Hall of Fame.

Over the past month LH has crashed on me many times. It is getting to the point that I really don't want to play any more unless these crashes get cleaned up. I have gotten the DX error many times, and discovered the autosave has changed icons for my units. I have gotten an hourglass as the turn ends with nothing at all happening until I click on the game window and get the message that LH is not responding and needs to close. I was able to play 20 minutes today and then it crashed.

Three crashes this week in MSVCR80.dll. This is really getting frustrating when you can't play more than an hour without getting kicked out of the game. It also looks to me like the saves are getting corrupted. I had a custom unit with a pretty generic icon, after I loaded autosave after a crash they are all now wearing huge flowing blue capes and riding wargs. [e digicons]:omg:[/e]

Speaking of your sovereign dying in battle, I was rudely surprised in a recent battle attempting to eliminate an AI race when one of its heroes cast the "swap places with an enemy unit" on my caster sovereign. Seeing as how he was now in the midst of the enemy, he died without a chance to do anything when he was surrounded and mobbed by all the city defenders. Who taught this AI how to use that spell anyway!!?!?! [e digicons]:O[/e]

IIRC, Civ 4 HoF was done nicely, with the ability to compare your latest adventure to the same civ/kingdom/empire previously for the same win conditions and see if you are getting better or worse. I too would like to see something like this in LH.

I started a new game today and the first race I met was Tarth. They own Deorcnysse and had a spearman under construction that was going to be completed is something over 1,700 turns. Playing at a low difficulty level, their score was 66 and mine, and the other two races I met, were still around 16. I have now scouted the entire quarter of the map where the city is and I have found no other sign of Tarth civilization. Buggy? Yes. I don't know that I have ever seen this city work as i

That, that, that is just so wrong on so many levels. [e digicons]:O[/e]

Has anyone run into the other situation in my OP, that of three cities with the same name founded by the same faction? The other strange part of the game is that two of the factions were founding cities, expanding etc., and the other two founded a single city and a few outposts but no more cities.

Yithril is in my current game and I captured Ahilga. The sovereign was standing beside the city with an army. When I did so, another town named Ahilga popped up nearby in an area where I had removed the shroud. I captured it and another Ahilga popped up just behind where my capturing army had been before. I can't tell if he is producing pioneers or not. I captured the third Ahilga and the sovereign was standing beside that city too. He didn't move the next turn and when

I cast tireless march on one hero and several turns later decided that another hero could better utilize it. So I went to the enchantment menu and cancelled it on the first hero. That hero stack went back to movement 2. I tried that turn and again 3 turns later to cast tireless march but it remains greyed out and unavailable.

I applaud Stardock and Frogboy for supporting an employee with a dream. It isn't easy to let talented people go, but to see them stretch out and try to fly on their own, while maintaining a working relationship with the company strikes me as a win-win situation. I wish Jon all the best and success in his new venture. (At the very least he should get a better appreciation for all the things that Frogboy deals with on a daily basis besides programming).

My experience with 1.2 is that when monsters destroy a city they salt the land so no city can be founded on that tile. However, according to the 1.2 release notes, that bug has been fixed.

I have had the same problem in the past when I placed a city in a valid spot but then later "snaked" an existing city toward the new city. My guess is that the expansion of the city on the right side of your pic has made the tiles surrounding your second city forbidden because of their proximity to the first city. Apparently there are two sets of rules regarding cities, one for initial placement, and the second for building placement.

I trained an Avenger in my town and when it arrived, it arrived right on top of the Epic quest arena, not in an unoccupied square. I was given the choice to take the quest or not, and I did not and lost the quest. New units are not arriving outside of the city like they used to. I had another unit I trained earlier in the game which appeared outside the city but as soon as I selected something for the city to build, it ran inside the city and stayed there.

1.20 has crashed a couple times on me the last two days. I do not remember the circumstances of the first one, but the second was when I was in the champion promotion screen. I selected a promotion and everything stopped and the cursor changed to the Windows cursor, then the game closed. I also just completed a game by casting Spell of Making and the bug with finishing research the same turn the spell casts is still there. This time I got to see the ranking screen, then the research window po

1. Army placement and order when conquering city. Sometimes when I conquer a city, one or two of my units are left outside the city. They were in the stack, participated in the battle and were just left there. And while you are looking at this, see if you can figure out why enemy units are left behind in the city square on the world map. They just sit there and do nothing. 2. Order of units leaving city. Sometimes I will use auto-battle to take cities. I have learned to put a hi

Just because it is in the game does not mean you have to use it. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I do agree with you that it gets to be mega-powerful. Yes, it is my weapon of choice when I am trying to learn a new faction because it can make up for a lot of mistakes in other areas. But since it does not directly impact the core game mechanics, and right now we have a single-person game, I am not sure that I agree that it needs to be changed. I am all in favor of core game fixes/enhancements/i

I also vote for a HoF

Over the past week I have had crashes almost every play session. The music gets interrupted for about a second, and the game is completely locked up at that point. Clicking anywhere on the screen brings up the windows message about the program has stopped responding and do I want to search for a solution. This has happened on large maps, it happens on medium maps. It occurs when the AI is processing their turn, it happens when I am scrolling the map to move my units. Is

[quote who="The_Apprentice" reply="7" id="3294626"] Since I haven't gotten far enough in my game to know yet, if you build a hench at an advanced fortress (ie, a fort that makes level 4 trained units as opposed to level 1 units), will you get to pick a path for them at creation? IE, if I made a hench there with the veteran attribute, would I be able to make it a Governor (potentially with Road Building) right out of the gate? [/quote] When a henchman is creat

Downloaded the DLC, started a game, found a ship and my champion sailed away. Noob question: How do I get off the ship? Nothing I have tried works.

This just started happening today. When I arrived at the main forum page I was logged in. As soon as I clicked the General Forum I was taken there, but told I was not logged in. I went back to the main page and came to the Support forum and got the same message. I had to log in again to make this post.

What are the best, most effective units that you have designed? Early game, mid game, late game, leather only, leather and metal, leather, metal and crystals? What items from the shop do you like to use? Do you have units that are great for a specific faction but not so good for others? The available options are almost limitless and I am curious to know what you have found that works and maybe a little of your rationale if you care to share it. [e digicons]:sun:[/e]

Then there was the time I was escorting a Pioneer with five other units, the tactical fight started with the Pioneer front and center, AI got first move and it was dead.

I have also seen this several times. It seems to happen a lot when I have taken an AI city and moved all my units toward the next doomed city. A few turns later I get the message that my city was taken.
