Thanks for a very entertaining read. +1 for you since these reports are fun AND make the game better. Hope one's coming for 0.99.

[e digicons]:rofl:[/e] Still a bit sad though as it's not only pony time but also bedtime here. Not feeling well so I'm off to bed. Will read first impressions in the morning.

I'm F5-ing so much that I didn't even fall for it... Gosh Im a sad person...

Well you probably need to login under his name? Keys are personal as far as I know.

Didn't you get a Steam key instead of a Stardock key?

Ok dinner time here in Holland. Then putting the kids to bed and then... downloading 0.984?

Good notification. I've been frustrated by this but failed to post about it. +1 for you.

Totally agree. Easy but logical fix.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="289" id="3250603"]I hope the level requirements changed for these weapons that have been nerfed. Some of them are like level 18, and now barely any better than a longsword. [/quote] They probably come with a free pony now.

Heavenfall and Sean sum it up well. I blindly preordered WOM after Stardock's trackrecord with Galciv 1 and 2 which I both really enjoyed. Was very, very disappointed with WOM and thought the game was beyond repair. But since reluctantly trying the first beta of FE my confidence in Stardock as a game developer for great 4x games has been restored. Ever since beta 2 I got a lot of enjoyment out of the game. I would wholeheartedly recommend it but would fully understand for you to read the

Excellent. You guys are really putting in some serious polish close to release. Loving it!

Nice. I don't use autoresolve much, only for fights I'm sure to win, but in the end it's ony fair this got fixed.

Sure, whet our appetites ever further. As if the weekend wasn't going slow enough... ;) Looking very much forward to build an early army to back up my sov and heroes. Sure hope trainingtimes are reduces though.

No final beta till Monday. Bit sad (just finished my 0.983 game last night and lost) cause I was ready for a new challenge, but it's probably for the better, familyrelationswise. ;)

Thanks for letting us know. Looking at your nightwork and the last minute changes that got the headsup today, totally understandable. Have to finish my 0.983 game anyway.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="1" id="3248183"]-25% seems like a ton to me. I would prefer to give more defenders to cities and give them some more armor. [/quote] But no ponies? Seriously you're happy with just one lousy pony. [e digicons]^_^[/e] I agree fully here. The 25% bonus doesn't solve anything. In the end I think it even hurts the AI more than it hurts players. More defenders to cities with some armour would be a much better solution. I really hope

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="26" id="3247809"]While I appreciate the fact you guys are working on making the monster system better, because I love this game, I still feel the current system is just a bad one. It's too hard to understand, too random, and not really that fun. Oh well maybe in a patch or mod.[/quote] In my book there's nothing wrong with randomness in a singleplayer game. Actually I want randomness. It makes every game different and unpredictable. That's also

Thanks for getting here along with us Derek! You've shaped and polished the game into a true gem. With a bit of further polish it'll be the game I'll be playing for a long, long time. Thanks very much for listening (and sometimes not listening) to all the different beta-testers here. I'm almost sad we're at the end of the beta cycle. ;) Now excuse me I have to finish my game with Darsonia of the Fargoth before the final beta comes out!

Oh no, Ponies are so OP! ;)

Wow that was a brilliant read. I'm gonna use this one to recommend FE to people. It would have been an instant sell to me!

I say you're good to go. The game can always be further improved and I'm 1000% sure it will be further improved looking at Stardock's trackrecord. But a perfect game at release? Not going to happen. In it's current state (and after one or two extra patches before release) the game is so much fun to play. I think reviews will be good and in the 80's. Probably not 90's cause, mark my words, almost every reviewer will deduct points for not having multiplayer

Nice magic trick with the vulcano Deb! I think you're going to make it.
